DIY Enclosures: Various options for building your own enclosure using furniture, wood, plexiglass, or exercise mats. 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 core strength of the K1 lies in its exceptional speed, which revolutionizes the printing experience. With an astonishing default speed of 600 mm/s, this powerful machine breaks traditional time limits. In just 13 minutes, the K1 easily prints detailed Benchy models, setting a new industry standard for rapid prototyping and production. Due to some questionable design choices on Creality’s part, the Ender 5 Plus bed cabling has no support allowing it to dangle and rub against the bed frame freely. The chief benefit is that the mod directs cool air to both sides of the nozzle for superb cooling performance. It also supports a host of direct drive extruders and other upgrades, with a version suited to housing the BL Touch sensor found on the Ender 5 Plus.

The mats offer very poor visibility of the printer, making monitoring those tense first few layers impossible. In today’s article, we will be talking about the thermal runaway issue, which is one of the worst things that can happen during the 3D printing process due to the high temperatures involved, and what causes them, particularly in the case of an Ender 5 3D printer, one of the most popular 3D printers currently available.In the future, I may buy a PEI Magnetic Spring Steel Sheet, which can be easily removed after a print, without having to wait for the heatbed to cool. Not the best power supply Stable Printing: Unlike Creality Ende-5, Creality Ender-5 Plus 3D Printer is with dual Z-Axis, Stable Z-axis Lead screw drive smoothly and steadily. The movement of the build plate will be more stable. Maintain the thermistor frequently. Ensuring that the thermistor is sitting in the correct spot with the screw tightened enough to hold it securely in its place and that the thermistor wire is in good condition now and then will play a vital role in preventing a potential thermal runaway. Another benefit is that an enclosure protects the Ender 5 Plus from dust and debris while also acting as a noise barrier.

One of the most popular and long-running options is to transform furniture into an Ender 5 enclosure. 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. Please note that on my printer, the Z screws and linear rods were not properly greased, and they needed a bit of extra lubrication for smooth movement. Crafted with high-quality components, the Ender-5 Plus guarantees superior print quality and durability. Its sturdy metal parts ensure stability during printing, minimizing vibrations and resulting in smoother prints. The heat-resistant glass platform provides excellent adhesion and heat distribution, ensuring optimal print bed conditions for consistent and reliable results. Trust in the Ender-5 Plus to deliver exceptional prints time after time. If you’ve never heard of 3D UpFitters, they are a US-based company that produces 3D printer accessories, with a particular focus on premium enclosures.Both 3D printers have automatic print bed leveling. The older Ender-5 Plus uses a BL-Touch, the Ender-5 S1 the Creality version of this sensor, the CR-Touch. I have tested both sensors and favor the CR-Touch, as it is much more sturdy and (unnoticeably) more accurate. Over time, this can cause the cabling to fray, malfunction, and become a fire hazard. A bed cable strain relief mod is a simple, but vital tweak to the Ender 5 Plus. Next, open up the case from the bottom of the Ender 5 Plus, remove the fan connector so you can set the lid aside.
