What do you recommend instead?

I recommend the SKR 2 or SKR 3 (just released beta firmware) at this time. The SKR 2 has been running great in my printer.

whick kind of problem with bltouhc?

I was talking a rep at Microcenter, and he stated that if you change the BL touch to use the 5 pin Z probe, and change the firmware, it will fix the issue. Have you tried this?

Supported now for ender 5 plus on multiple firmwares off the e3 mini v3

Thanks for the feedback!

Great to hear! Enjoy!

Did you get the TFT35 V3 board from the link?

@@peterhe3746 I caught the Tft70 on sale on fabreeko🤘🏼

Hey man ! where did you get the firmware?

What firmware did you use? Asking because I used the firmware he gave for Ender 5 Plus with BLtouch hooked onto the z-step And my Z homes and stats at 7 instead of Z. Kinda don’t know if it’s a firmware issue or if it is a me saving Z home issue…

I'm happy I could help.

So his firmware works out the box for the e5plus?

Glad I could help!

my new ender 5 pro is stuck on blue screen after firmware update from creality site.... cant get ahold of them so i am hooking this board up now. funny how faulty these printers are for such a simple design.... oh and expensive lol

I found out, after spending $300+, that it was a $10 MOSFET that needed to be replaced... Regardless, it's 5 years old, so I'm happy to have a "new" system 🤘🤘

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the production upgrades are not only visible but useful!

Great to hear!

How that go?. I'm thinking of swapping my creality 4.2.2 board for the skr

@@twiztid664 I had the 4.2.2 board originally as well. Do it. Totally worth it. Stil been running strong zero issues. But it's not a simple plug and play. The only things that sucked is that for my CR touch I had to swap two of the wires in the JST connector for it to work on the board. Wasn't hard at all super easy but figuring out why it wasn't working was a pain at first but there's a really good guide online that explains all the pinouts on the board for you. Just had to look up which color wires were what on my cr touch. Same thing would go for ther BL touch as well. And ontop of that the firmware that came out for the SKR mini v3 at the time just wasn't working right. So I had to compile my own firmware which again wasn't hard but annoying as hell. After those 2 things though it's been flawless. Beautiful prints and my printer is insanely quiet now. Worth every penny. Again these issues were when it first came out so I'm sure the current firmware is all fixed and you won't need to compile your own anymore. Overall I'd recommend it over the 4.2.2 board for sure. And the mini v3 price is good.

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Glad I could help! 👍

No problem. I think they had too many broken SD slots with the old one, so they changed it.

Glad I could help! Congrats!

PS: bloopers at the end. 🤣🤣🤣

Glad I could help!

@@kerseyfabs finally able to install..but the hot end fan doesnt turn on. I heat the nozzle up to 200 and its suppose to come on around 50/60. I know its plugged into the right port.

That's awesome! Glad I could help!

@@kerseyfabs dude she’s never ran better thank you so much I was about to start over and rebuild her.

Thanks for watching! I hope everyone can get their hands on one now!

I'd be happy to but I support a lot of people on this channel that aren't interested in Klipper or don't want to fool with it. You may see some videos on it soon but I'll keep supporting Marlin for those that like to load and go.

My pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I do my best! Thanks for watching.

I'm glad to hear it!

Go for it!

I have heard that this board needs a different screen to the regular TFT35, was this the case with your instalation or were you able to fernangle the FW?

@@AndrewAHayes I got my own firmware working, but my bl touch won't activate.

@@marcusmannes3410 Check your firmware again to make sure you have that activated and the original z endstop device commented out, some people have had to plug the black and white wires into where the mechanical z endstop would go instead of with the 3 BL Touch wires plugin, try that you cant harm anything

@@AndrewAHayes I have checked multiple times, I think my bltouch pin is dead.

@@marcusmannes3410 There is a very common fault with the BL Touch having bad connections with the Ender 5 Plus when assembled by Creality, you can check if this is the issue by taking a small Allen wrench and push down on each side of the JST connector on the BL Touch and then power up it may look well connected but may not have a good electrical contact, also if the Hotend is parked in the back left corner it reports a flashing red error with the BL Touch.

I believe the only difference would be the BLtouch (which I talked through) and the filament run-out sensor. So, I won't be doing an additional video. I think I covered it.

@@kerseyfabs that's fair enough, is there anything one should know regarding the colour touchscreen of the plus or is it just a case of making sure I have the plus firmware when doing the install?

@@LegalEliminator You can't use the stock touch screen on the Ender 5 Plus. You must upgrade to the Bigtreetech TFT.

@@kerseyfabs oh, well that answers my question. That wasnt noted in the video. which tft is the right one tho?

@@FaZeredemption3 Sorry about that. Any of the Bigtreetech TFTs. The one most people use is the TFT35 V3.0 but they make larger ones as well. amzn.to/3wycXrp

I replied to the emails you sent. I'll do my best to answer your questions. The BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 is a drop-in replacement and firmware installation should be easy. The only thing that is extra is that I don't support the stock display with my firmware. There are several technical reasons for this but, bottom line, it's not supported. So you will have to replace the display with one like the BTT TFT35. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, that's true on the E3 version but not on the non-E3 version.

Glad I could help!

I know its way to latr, But, you have propably plugged the stepper motor in the wrong Direction , if you dont want to change the wires, just put a ! Before the pin of the stepper . Cheers

Thank you! Yeah, I don't see any need to go from V2.0 to V3.0. There are some software ways to check out that filament runout but the easiest way is to stick a small piece of filament in the sensor, start a print with no filament loaded in the nozzle and see what happens when you remove that small piece of filament.

I've noticed all the ads too. Good timing! I appreciate your comments. I always try to put myself into the content and be as honest as possible.

You're very kind! Thanks for the comment!

You cannot right now. It may be possible in the future but it will still need rewiring most likely.

@@kerseyfabs The correct configuration for a E5+ is TFT35 V3 not a TFT35 E3 V3 + SKR Mini E3 right? Also, could you elaborate on what Z alignment feature I'd be missing? Like is that something the original E5+ board has? Sorry for all the questions!

Glad you like them!

@@kerseyfabs Nice to see your personality come through on the blooper reel. Keep up the great informative videos.

That sucks! Sorry to hear it when a company doesn't follow through. The best I can recommend is that others order through Amazon. That's where I've bought almost all my boards in the past. It gives you a middle man to handle disputes.

I hope it's everything you needed!

@@kerseyfabs Can you do a video on klipper with this board

No problem! Good luck and thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!

That sounds like it could be the filament run-out detection. I hope this helps!

I like the feature but it's not like I use it much. Unless I hit something or move it, it usually doesn't need it. For those that don't want to cut up their case, this is an easy solution on the Ender 5 Plus. You're right on polarities but on some beds polarity matters. If you see two different colored wires, assume they mean it.

Thank you sir!

You have two errors here. First, make sure your black/white BLTouch wire is connected correctly. That should hopefully fix probing. The "Failed to enable bed leveling" just means you haven't run a mesh (ABL) yet.

Technically, that would be possible but you'd need a new display. At that point, you may as well go Bigtreetech.

BTT is definitely a DIY solution. The troubles you're describing don't seem to be a problem with the BTT products. I have a 2.1.1 build available. Check my KZfaq community page or Facebook page.

I ALWAYS publish my source. You can find it on my GitHub. All source can be found here: github.com/KerseyFabrications/Marlin Select the branch you need from the drop down.

@@kerseyfabs Thank you - I always forget about github!

​@@kerseyfabs LOVE your videos always so helpful and easy to understand. i have an 5plus but i have a sprite pro kit on it you don't happen to have a firmware file for that configuration do you ? or possibly some guidance on how to change the firmware you gave. I did instal your firmware but need to adjust offset eseps ect.

The worry usually comes from crushing the tinned ends and them possibly arching over time. At least that's my understanding.

I don't support using the stock touch screen.

@@kerseyfabs is that because of sponsorships or another reason? I'm making a DWIN set to go with the stock touchscreen based off Jay Aristide's build. I just don't have the cash to throw at a new screen when the stock one works fine.

@@mech13 Nope. No sponsorship here. No financial reason at all. I just don't like it, so I don't want to make a video on it. If there's a DWIN solution that gives me all of the features and control of a Marlin interface, including M600 support, I'd be happy to look into it. Traditionally the support has been very lacking.

@@kerseyfabs stop the clock. Are you saying that the only way to get M600 to work on the E5P is with a new screen? Obviously this doesn't include working off octopi / octoprint because it works with octoprint even on your marlin 1.7.3BL

I realize you can probably do that with an OctoPrint plugin but many of my viewers are not interested in adding an additional layer to their printer. I get so many messages, emails, and comments asking how to get M600/pause at layer working on a stock Ender 5 Plus. If you know how to do this with an updated DWIN firmware, I'd be down to making a video on it.

Make sure that the firmware flashed correctly. It should show the version you downloaded on the boot screen or the info screen. If that's correct, go into the configuration menu and init the EEPROM again to make sure you clear any old settings.

Only one way to find out! But probably so.

Are you compiling your own firmware or did you find some community firmware?

Either board works great. I do like the extra header though. My printer is almost completely silent when not in use. This means I can leave it on and ready to receive prints.

Thanks for watching! I hope your upgrade goes great!

You need to go into the menu and run the auto bed leveling. That will clear it up.

You're very welcome!

I've made a note in the description and added a pinned post to clarify. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@kerseyfabs Thanks, now if I could only get firmware and setup dialed in. I get an "invalid mesh" error on startup :(

If you're having problems flashing: - It may require an 8GB or smaller SD card. - Make sure it's formatted FAT32. - Under Windows in the file manager, click "View" in the menu bar. Make sure "File name extensions" is checked otherwise you may be renaming the file "firmware.bin.bin"

Yes, Linear Advance is enabled in my firmware. You just need to calibrate and set your K value. I know a lot of people want that tutorial. I'll see what I can do.

As I mention in the description and the comments, I no longer recommend this board for the Ender 5 Plus due to issues with the BLTouch. Stick with the V2: amzn.to/47DZtKw As you saw, I do have a full video on that one.

Nothing except that the firmware has to know where to look for it. Electrically, it works the same way.

Responded on Instagram.

Yes. This board's screw holes match the stock board.

Sorry but I'm not familiar with that issue, particularly on this board. Did you get my firmware installed correctly? Does the screen show Ender 5 or Ender 5 Plus and the new version?

1) Download my firmware from the description for your printer configuration. 2) Rename the file to firmware.bin and copy it to the SD card that came with the board. 3) Insert it in the mainboard when it's powered down. 4) Power on the printer and it should automatically flash it. 5) You can verify it by the info on the display or making sure the file was renamed to firmware.cur.

All of my files are always released through GitHub: github.com/KerseyFabrications/Marlin/tree/2.1.1-BTT-SKR-mini-E3-3.0-Ender5Plus

I don't plan to do another video on this but I'm happy to help. The two from the MOSFET go to the bed heater on the board. The red is positive. The two solid red thick wires go to the hotend heater. Polarity doesn't matter on those. Be sure to check out my video on the E3 Mini V2 which should be almost identical.

@@kerseyfabs I appreciate it! Love the videos !

Here's a link to my source for an older Marlin version: github.com/KerseyFabrications/Marlin/tree/2.1.1-BTT-SKR-mini-E3-2.0-Ender5Plus

You may need to put a new connector on the BLtouch pins if that's the case. It may be making an intermittent connection.

It didn't install correctly. Give this a shot: 1) Download my firmware from the description for your printer configuration. 2) Rename the file to firmware.bin and copy it to the SD card that came with the board. 3) Insert it in the mainboard when it's powered down. 4) Power on the printer and it should automatically flash it. 5) You can verify it by the info on the display or making sure the file was renamed to firmware.cur.

You didn't successfully install my firmware. Download the correct file for you printer, rename it firmware.bin and try again.

@@kerseyfabs I installed SKR Mini E3 V3.0 - Ender 5 Plus - BLTouch connected to Z endstop - to my board. When I auto homes it continues to lower the board every time, if I go to settings I can raise and lower the board, but it never finds home.
