I put quick connect JST plugs and sockets close to the hot end for all the componants of the hot end when I got my machines, I had to change out some fans and a thermistor and having done this work early on made changing those componants a 5 minute job.
Thank you man gives me another avenue to looks into. My fan snapped during an abs print and ive been getting this error ever since. Replaced the fan and the thermistor so hopefully this works….something is fried just need to find what.
Also at 3:30 you could pick up a JST crimping kit, it’ll come with that exact same connector. I just recommend getting one because of maintenance like this. The pins in the black connectors only require a light push out with a flat head or even paper clip 👍 On Amazon the kits are like $10-$20
@@Darkwingdad after getting the kit I’ve been using it forever lol, this Father’s Day used that exact connector to rewire a rear backup camera to the back up light for my grandfather lol he originally had it on the switch in the front but he said “it’s annoying as hell!”
Comes at the worst times, overall it’s not to bad of a fix, just putting it out there to help anyone who might be hesitant to dive in & change it. Thanks for watching.
I have an Ender 5 plus too. I keep getting the thermal runaway after every 3 to four prints. I haven't done any changes yet, can occasionally continue to print by putting a fan right on top of the print area. there are some plus and minus to this. the minus is it doesn't help with the print bed adhesion so I counter this by setting up the leveling to be as close as permissible. Anyway, thanks for the solution. I was hoping to see one soon. I can't and probably don't have the patience to keep resorting to my cheap ass solution later doen the line. hahaha
Try doing a pid tune & check your connections @ the ceramic heating element. A weak solder bridge can create voltage fluctuations which creates an error on the board
@@Darkwingdad I did what you recommended. sure enough, it was a couple of things. the solder was pretty bad, not sure if it came as is or if it's worn over time. also, the thermistor's insert from the other side was full of dried plastic residue. I presume these were the main causes. Unfortunately in Malaysia, they don't sell just the thermistor, so I purchased the entire printer head and just replaced it yesterday. Everything running like a clock now. Turns out that 3D printer maintenance can be quite a chore too! hahaha Thanks for the tips @Darkwingdad!

Hey ive got the thermistor issue with my ender 5. The link is out of stock unfortunately. Whats the technical specifications of the part i need to order please? Thanks for your channel you have loads of great info for beginners like me! A deep dive video on the ender 5 would be amazingly helpful 💯
I’m new to printing I’ve watched your silk video are you able to do a video on how your cura is set up I have no idea how to fine tune my printer others than leveling
I just upgraded my hot end and after splicing the wires my hotend heat up for like 15 minutes, and then ended up dying and now i cant heat it up again. Im using those silicone buts though to connect, where you stickcthenwires together, crimp it, then shrink wrap it.
At least you got the warning. I had my printer thermostat wire break with a runaway temperature over 380C..... It melted my silicone sleeve 😂.... Funny but not funny.
nothing i change too that but have the same problem, i substitute everything , the stepper , the estrusor,the sensonr , the termistor.. everything ,i change the parmaeter of print too, but nothing have that problem again
Hi. Im trying to change everything but my printer is showing me a constant temp of 234 degrees Celsius. I don’t know how to fix that. Tried a new thermistor already but nothing happens.
@@Darkwingdad I replaced the wire almost entirely. The new hotend came with wires with clips installed. So I unplugged the old wires and plugged the new ones in. Yes 5 plus

I’ve seen those fan shroud quick disconnects those are awesome!
I found some heat shrink tubing with solder included. Very nice for splicing wires!
Yes wire to wire with solder is a must!

Anytime!
Literally just happened to me after a 22 hour print T_T

great video!!! thanks for the information

Silk printing part 3 is on the way!
Does it matter which way round you re wire the two red wires?
No you’re just completing the circuit, it’s AC they are both power wires
Thankyou
Hi, a young man who’s 14 has the ender 5 3d printer and has some issues, can you offer any help to him please.
What issues is he having?
I just upgraded my hot end and after splicing the wires my hotend heat up for like 15 minutes, and then ended up dying and now i cant heat it up again. Im using those silicone buts though to connect, where you stickcthenwires together, crimp it, then shrink wrap it.
I would go wire to wire & solder. Barrel connectors will result in voltage loss, even a minimal loss can be detrimental
What up! Happy new years to everyone.
Hey Jared! Same to you brother!
At least you got the warning. I had my printer thermostat wire break with a runaway temperature over 380C..... It melted my silicone sleeve 😂.... Funny but not funny.
Geeeez, I see people’s printers catch fire, lucky you caught it!

Ender 5? Trying doing a hard reset, unplug for 20 mins. Have you done a pid tune?
@@Darkwingdad unplugging didn’t do anything. Maybe I try Pid Tuning tonight.

@@Darkwingdad I replaced the wire almost entirely. The new hotend came with wires with clips installed. So I unplugged the old wires and plugged the new ones in. Yes 5 plus
May I know how much v?
They are cheap to replace,under $10.
What's up dw hows your day
What’s up man! How you been?
@@mgkbro1157 I sent you a message on insta with a few
so this is my second time replacing my heating cartridge in 2 days any idea on why it keeps failing (not replacing till i know whats whrong
Did you splice in?
Pid tune?
@@Darkwingdad did a pid tune what is splice in
@@nicholassalapoutis2829 did you replace the entire wire to the board where it plugs in or just tap/splice in inches down?
@@Darkwingdad splice in
@@nicholassalapoutis2829 I would try replacing the entire wire down to the board. Or if you didn’t solder your connections
Whats a good way to reach you directly?
Darkwing_dad850@yahoo.com
Or on telegram same name no @yahoo
I replaced the yellow cable and the rest of this signal appears
What yellow cable? The heater cartridge is red & the thermistor is white
