Official Creality Ender 5 Plus 3D Printer with BL Touch, Tempered Glass Plate and Touch Color Screen, Large Build Volume 350X350X400mm

Product Information

CR Touch Pre-Installed: Creality Ender-5 Plus 3D printer with CR Touch as configured. You just plug them in and start printing! It can precisely measure the tilt of the Bed surface, offers automatic compensation for the Z-axis for unevenness of the platform plate, easy to solve the printing failure caused by the unevenness of the platform and provide reliable operation with all build surfaces. Ok, so thanks to some digging and the fine folks over at Tiny Machines 3D I figured out how to ditch this version of the firmware and switch to their version instead - which seems to include the English fix, probe offset fix, and many other goodies!

The tent is lined with a heat-retaining aluminum film, while the outer layer features a flame retardant fabric to prevent fires. To reassure you, this is highly unlikely but knowing you’re safe provides peace of mind. There are guides out there, but these tend to focus on the Ender 3, so it’s worth having a solid plan beforehand to avoid nasty surprises, especially if you’re running the larger Ender 5 Plus or want to install a hinged front door. In other words, if you can print it on the Ender 5, you’ll be able to do the same on the Ender 3 – those 50 mm are negligible for most users. Heated Bed and Nozzle Temperature Petsfang– A go-to design for many tinkerers looking for an Ender 3 and Ender 5 cooling fan upgrade. UpFitters Enclosure: A premium enclosure with acrylic panels, air scoop, display mount, and optional add-ons.A wood and plexiglass enclosure is another DIY option that shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge for seasoned makers with experience working with wood. We recommend Blueprinted Bulletproof’s version from Thingiverse. It runs from the micro SD Card slot to the frame on the front with M3 nuts bolts and T-nuts holding it in place on the printer’s V-slot.

It’s a better-made tent enclosure that’s even easier to assemble with enough room to act as an Ender 5 Plus enclosure alongside the smaller Ender 5 and Pro.

On paper, the Ender 5 Plus achieves a maximum print speed of 200 mm/s. However, this is only on paper. In reality, the print speed is reduced to around 80 mm/s or less if you want to print high-quality and precise models. This value of 80 mm/s is also recommended by Creality. This makes the Ender 5 Plus relatively slow when printing large models. Furthermore, the enclosure is designed with a mount for the Ender 5 display to sit outside the enclosures for easy control of your printer. It’s sophisticated stuff that doesn’t crutch on a one-size-fits-all approach but rather is tuned specifically for the Ender 5. These include a temperature gauge, external spool holder, fire suppression system, carbon air filter, dry filament box, and more.

PEI is also a good option if you prefer the easy removal offered by a flexible plate and want to do away with clips with a magnetic plate.Most printers have an open design, including the Ender 5 Plus, which can limit your options of materials to print with. The issue with an open design is that the ambient temperature around the print can be quite low. While this is fine when printing in PLA, PETG, and TPU, materials such as nylon, ABS, and ASA like having higher temperatures. This is where Creality’s enclosure comes in. The extruder on the Creality Ender 5 Plus is a Bowden setup, which can mean stringing is a problem, and can make printing parts with filaments like TPU difficult. You can upgrade to a direct drive extruder to overcome this, but that usually means buying completely new components. Thankfully, Thingiverse user paydayxray has created one that uses only one extra non-printed part: a 400-mm stepper motor extension cable. Their 3D printer enclosure traps heat inside, slows dust from accumulating on your printer, and acts as a sound damper. Additionally, this enclosure is made up of fire retardant material, which, in the event of your printer catching fire, won’t ignite and should stop the fire from spreading. The design of the Ender 6 is a bit tidier overall. However, these are only optical differences. They have no significance for the function or operation of the printers. The two printers are only slightly different in terms of overall weight. The Ender 5 Plus weighs around 18 kg when fully assembled. The Ender 6 weighs about 22 kg ready for operation. Build Volume and Equipment Let’s not beat around the bush here: like most manufacturers, Creality loves to burnish its marketing material by mentioning materials the machines can theoretically handle – but the best filaments for the Ender 3 and Ender 5 are definitely PLA and PETG.
