Product Information

It features all the necessary parts along with a Capricorn PTFE tube, another one of the most highly recommended Ender 5 Plus upgrades. Direct Drive Power on the printer, connect to the printer to your PC using USB cable. Open the cura slicer, press Printer Profile (e.g. Creality Ender-5 Plus) > Manage Printers > Select your printer profile > Press Update Firmware

After everything is done, power on the printer and the screen should show Insanity Logo and proceed to the main menu. The Bowden tubing on a Creality Ender 5 Plus can be a bit too large for the filament. This can cause it to bend on itself and jam in some cases, especially with more flexible filaments.

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! Silent Board Upgrade: E5P_BIL_Slnt_DW7.4.6.hex.zip (for some reason Silent board firmware no inside the latest 7.4.7)

You have to allow a bit more time for the assembly of the Creality Ender 6. The printer is less pre-assembled. Nevertheless, the assembly is easy and should be done after about 30 to 45 minutes or a maximum of one hour. 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. Open the Creality Slicer 4.8.2 software, go to Preferences -> Configure Creality -> Printers -> Add -> Select Ender-5 Plus to add; Another difference between the Creality Ender 6 and Ender 5 Plus is that the Ender 6 has the display, power supply, and motherboard built into the printer base. In the Ender 5 Plus, these components are located in a separate housing that is installed in the printer itself between the T-slot rails. This adds stability and makes upgrades easier than with the Ender 6, which you would have to lay completely on its side because the parts are spread out over the entire surface. Gabriel3DCaster’s model works well, directing cool air to the tip of the nozzle. fpikus’ version works equally well and is installed using existing parts on the Ender 5 Plus, ideal if you don’t fancy a trip to the local hardware store.With the frame in hand, sourcing the other materials is pretty straightforward. Wood and plexiglass panels are widely available at hardware stores. As 3D printers go, few machines are quite as well suited to upgrades and modifications as the Ender series. Creality earned its fame by having fully open-source hardware and firmware, even making their full specs available to anyone who wants them. Both official and non-official upgrades and modifications are all over the internet for both models.

A bigger build volume, a new bed-leveling probe, improved components: The Creality Ender-5 Plus strives to better the Ender-5 3D printer。 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. You can also print online with the Ender 5 Plus via this USB interface and with the help of software provided free of charge by Creality. Offline printing is basically possible with both printers. However, a WLAN interface is not available for either the Ender 6 or the Ender 5 Plus.

The Creality Ender 6 and Creality Ender 5 Plus 3D printers are equipped with an SD card reader for transferring your print data. Only the 5 Plus offers an additional USB interface. The Creality Ender 5 Plus* was already introduced in 2019 as the last printer in the 5 series. Since then, it has found many buyers due to its exceptionally large print volume.

Finally, rounding up the Wham Bam HotBox Mega Enclosure’s spec sheet is an in-built thermometer with a front-mounted display, loops for optional LED light bars, and passages to add in air filtration if you fancy the extra step.Filament Sensor: When the filament runs out or disconnected, the Creality Ender-5 Plus 3D Printer will automatically be suspended to ensure the model can be smoothly printed.
