    Jim, Fantastic review, spot on on your suggestions. I have two Ender 5s and one Ende5 5 Plus. They have been so modded they don't really resemble the units that were delivered. All have total TH3D makeovers except for build plates - EzBOARD, EZABL EZOUT, etc. I ditched the control box on all and make a custom mount for all of the electronics including the Raspberry Pi for Octoprint. Replaced the powe supplies with Meanwells and added direct drive Hemera.
    These machines are beasts and will run great out of the box, but are just waiting for upgrades. Keep up the great videos

      You don't need anything else, but what the printer comes with to start. Learn the machine, get some printing time in and then look into upgrading! That way you know the parts of the machine and can understand what to fix if the upgrade doesn't work etc. :)

    I had a Ender 5 pro too and could sell it for even more then i bought it and then upgraded it to an Ender 5 Plus.
    I would say the fans on the 5P are indeed loud, but that noise is always the same. For me the standard stepper drivers on the stock board drive me nuts! Such a loud and irritating constantly changing noise.
    I am currently upgrading the heck out off it and it will be great(er/est)!
    Currently installed upgrades:
    - Micro Swiss hotend with hardened nozzle
    - Moons 34mm 0.9 degrees stepper motor for the extruder
    - BMG extruder
    - Meanwell 550W powersupply (required some drilling)
    - Replaced the really noise AF fan inside the electronic box for a 60 mm fan that is dead silent (also required some drilling and Dremel action)
    Upgrades still on their way or already delivered:
    - Bigtreetech 1.4 Turbo board
    - Bigtreetech TFT35 screen
    - E3D V6 hotend with titanium heat break (not sure which hotend will "survive" and will remain on the printer)
    - Wham Bam build plate
    - Moons 0.9 degree steppers for the X and Y axis
    - LDO 0.9 degree steppers for the Z axis
    - MDD hot end carriage for direct drive printing
    - Linear rails + adapters
    - 5015 fans for hotend + part cooling (also have some super silent 80mm fans, but dont think i can really come up with a good chassis mounted solution for those with adequate coverage across the bed)
    Looking at this list i think this whole COVID19 lockdown is causing a bit of an upgrading spree on my Ender 5 Plus

      The Ender 5 Pro can be build with the spool holder facing the Y axis direction and then it is really MUCH smaller then the Ender 5 Plus.
      I had a 5 Pro before and now a 5 Plus and it requires so much more space! It does not fit on the sort of side-desk that is 60 cm deep and the 5 pro easily fit on it...
      So for now it is on the floor, a new desk is already planned before the E5P upgrade so then it will be fine again...

    Great video. I have a suggestion to your Ender 5 Plus. You should flip your spool holder 180 degrees. As of now, if you run out of filament and your bed is halfway down you are not going to get the spool off to change. Unless you try to take screws out of the holder. It makes for a bigger footprint but, least you'll get your spool off.

    Hi there! I'm considering the Ender 5 Plus because of the larger build plate. My reasoning is the bigger build plate allows me to build multiple parts for RC airplanes. I know the build time will be at least as long, but I don't really care about that. I'd loke to know how compatible this printer might be when using LW PLA. I've looked at maybe 10 different units including upgrading my Voxelab Aquila X2 with an Ender Extender kit. Seems that route will be more problems than it's worth. You advice would be greatly appreciated.

But I purchased the LD200R, and am really loving it. The only thing missing is that build volume. For the amount of the 5 plus, as much as I may want it, I'm having a hard time justifying that, over a medium sized resin printer(maybe the Mars mid sized machine) The main thing I'd be printing are flower pots for my wife.

    Ender 5 pro... your videos got me from ender 3 to ender 5 and then from ender 5 to ender 5 pro. I won't be buying the plus version since it exceeds my needs and my budget. I'm looking to print stuff for home cockpits and this will be my first 3D printer 🙂
    Thank you so much for making awesome videos and making it so much easier to decide which printer to go for.

      Start with the Ender3V2 in my opinion, it has a glass bed and silent steppers. I have it and after some tweaking I've got superb print quality. I'm personally considering the 5+ but people complaint a lot about it being non user friendly.

    What motherboard (old or new silent?), hotbed (glass or non-glass) and extruder (plastic or metal) did your 5 Plus come with? Some people say that theirs came with silent/glass/metal by default but others complain that theirs didn't. The official shop only mentions the glass hotbed, even though (at the same time) there's an article on the official website that compares all of the "Ender 5" models and according to that the Plus has all of the good upgrades. I'm confused...

      @TheEdgeofTech  4 года назад

      Hi! It really depends on your budget and how big of a print area you need. If you are just doing minis and dnd stuff, you probably don't need a 5 Plus, Unless you plan on making some very large things. I would check out the Ender 3 V2. It's a great Printer for the money and it's got a decent build area. Would that be big enough?

    I wonder that so many people are accepting to get scammed by those silent boards... just give the board to an electronic guy for swapping the stepper drivers and some smaller components... it just takes a few minutes to make the regular boards silent. Swapping the allegro drivers with trinamic 2208 drivers isn't that difficult.

      I would say the fans on the 5P are indeed loud, but that noise is always the same. For me the standard stepper drivers on the stock board drive me nuts! Such a loud and irritating constantly changing noise.
      I am currently upgrading the heck out off it and it will be great(er/est)!
      Currently installed upgrades:
      - Micro Swiss hotend with hardened nozzle
      - Moons 34mm 0.9 degrees stepper motor for the extruder
      - BMG extruder
      - Meanwell 550W powersupply (required some drilling)
      - Replaced the really noise AF fan inside the electronic box for a 60 mm fan that is dead silent (also required some drilling and Dremel action)
      Upgrades still on their way or already delivered:
      - Bigtreetech 1.4 Turbo board
      - Bigtreetech TFT35 screen
      - E3D V6 hotend with titanium heat break (not sure which hotend will "survive" and will remain on the printer)
      - Wham Bam build plate
      - Moons 0.9 degree steppers for the X and Y axis
      - LDO 0.9 degree steppers for the Z axis
      - MDD hot end carriage for direct drive printing
      - Linear rails + adapters
      - 5015 fans for hotend + part cooling (also have some super silent 80mm fans, but dont think i can really come up with a good chassis mounted solution for those with adequate coverage across the bed)

    I think the Ender 5 will be my first 3D printer. I really don't need the larger build area for what I want to print. That would also leave some budget for upgrades like a direct drive and better hot end (not Micro Swiss by the way). I'd probably order a glass print bed, Capricorn tubing, and maybe a metal extruder if I didn't just go for a direct drive/high temp hot end right from the start.

    Hi! I really enjoyed your input on both of these printers.
    I'm currently looking to get my first 3D Printer, would probably settle with one of the later revision Ender 3:s if they were available right now, but unfortunately, they aren't and I really would like t to have a printer as soon as possible. The Ender 5 Pro is available at the European Creality store, so that's why I'm really looking into that option.
    I love the silent board on the printer, that's probably my most appreciated feature on these. My only concern at the moment is the size, I'm worried it won't fit in an IKEA Lack table enclosure I have planned.
    Would you mind taking an accurate measurement of the X-axis, not including the screen housings or filament holder and reel, I'm confident these can be modded and mounted elsewhere, so just the X-axis including stepper motor and belt pulleys. I would really appreciate the gesture!
    Thanks and keep up the great content!
