In this video I completely rebuild my Creality Ender 5 from the ground up. Was this necessary? Probably not. However I did have a lot of fun building it, and will have even more fun tuning it in.

So many great upgrade ideas here! Beautiful DIN rail mounting solution, and amazing cable management. That bandsaw cut the G10 way easier than the hacksaw method I used!

@NathanBuildsRobots Жыл бұрын

You should get a laser cutter so you can precisely cut G10. As an added benefit it will generate a toxic cloud in your office that will kill any cockroaches, rodents, etc.

What I find is there are so many uses for a 3D printer than I ever thought. Bought my first one 6 or 7 years ago and have never once printed anything other than tools and replacement parts for various things. Anyway, I'm enjoying these as much as I do the wood working, I also do some limited machining as well. Too many hobbies for me, but the 3D printers keeps me coming back. I'm expecting delivery on a Formbot Troodon 2.0 (loose Voron clone) that I hope will get me up to speed with the later printers out today. My old CR10 while reliable, is getting long in the tooth. Anyway, thanks for the video, it's a very interesting build that ticks most if not all boxes. Thanks Guy! Edit to add, surprised you didn't go with the Mercury 1 upgrade. 🙂

@GuysShop Жыл бұрын

I have looked at the Troodon, and think it's pretty interesting in the way it gets set up. Seems much simpler than a full Voron build. Myself, I would welcome the challenge of building a Voron from parts. The V 0.2 I built I love!

Really light the modifications in your video. Most I have not seen anywhere else. Well done! One question, where did you get the light rail. I see the link to buy the LED light strips but not the rail and diffuser you put the lights into. I am printing the front bar relocating brackets right now and the light addition solves a big problem I have been having with being able to see the nozzle when leveling and adequate lighting.

@GuysShop 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! The light rail aluminum extrusion and diffuser was bought on amazon. It was a couple years ago, but any exrusion will work.

Thank You for all of the wonderful content. I found you from listening to The Perfect First Layer podcast. You've done some awesome mods to your Ender 5. I'm personally not a fan of the Hero Me. stuff. I give props to the creator. He's done a ton of work on that project and has always given his stuff away for free to the hobbyist. He's one of the good guys. I just find the Hero Me eco-system to be big, clunky and it really doesn't perform well . Your 5+ is off to a great start to be an amazing machine. Have you considered going further with the Mercury 1.1 mods? Going Core X,Y with the Linear Rails? I have the Ender 5+ converted to a Mercury 1.1. It is a totally different printer. It has the EVA 3.0 toolhead, (also running a U2C to EBB36 CAN) with a Rapido HF hotend and an Orbiter 2.0 extruder. I went sensorless homing but there's nothing wrong with switches if you can stand the wires. Thank You for sharing.

@GuysShop 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! I have thought about it, and it looks like a fun project. I just finished a Voron 2.4 350mm and it has been a great experience.

@johnlytle6633 2 күн бұрын

I am thinking of using CAN bus to simplify the tool head wiring on my printer. I have an SKR 3 and an EBB36. Is the U2C board required for this? I am confused because the SKR 3 has a CAN port. Also, why aren't you using the RGB power to run the Pi? Great video, just hoping to get everything figured out before I start.

Hello, how are you? I wanted to ask you about a problem I have in my Core xy what happens to me is that when I move the axis and the x axis also moves you have an idea what it can be!? In the programming, is there a problem!? The straps and pulleys are new and are very tight!

Can I hook up the bigtreetech pad 7 to RS-15-12 AC-DC Single Output Enclosed power supply; Output 12VDC Single Output at 1.3A. I’d like to mount the pad 7 to my ended 5 and have all the wires in the case. Or do I need the one you have.

You need to check the power requirements for the Pad 7. I'm pretty sure 1.3A is not enough.

is it worth buying the enter 5, I found it quite cheap, it needs a search in Greece, there are good used ones, it's worth getting the model, is this upgrade you made the motherboards for making our own printer? for height width
