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.

Here are a lot of NOT unnecessary mods actually ! Great work and great video, thanks, nicely done

Wow - great video! Excellent coverage of all the details. I hadn’t seen the CANbus hot end bits before. Very cool!

@JJShankles Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@GuysShop Год назад

Thanks JJ! This was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed implementing the little details

Haha. I like the idea of getting rid of the cockroach infestation in my house!

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 Год назад

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!

@liquidrockaquatics3900 Год назад

All the 3-D printing stuff and the CNC stuff looks like a blast. I wish I had the money and the brains to do it.

@GuysShop Год назад

Thanks! It's actually a fairly inexpensive hobby to get into, and I'm really enjoying it.

@MidMadn 7 месяцев назад

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 месяцев назад

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.

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 месяцев назад

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

@NathanBuildsRobots Год назад

I think Guy only likes G10 because it cuts like plywood. Nice mods though, I like the front bar drop and light. Would go great on my Ender 5S1!

@GuysShop Год назад

So much to like about the G10. And anytime I get to use the big tools the better!

@jorgemorales251 18 дней назад

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!

@bujin5455 6 месяцев назад

Considering how far you've taken this, I'm surprised you didn't do a Core X/Y conversion on it! lol. (You know, they make a kit for that.)

@GuysShop 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I kniow. I was just having some fun with parts I had already. I was just showing mods that could be done to a great base printer.

@ChiefPyro63 6 месяцев назад

Where did you get the screen mount? It wasn't included in your STLs.

@GuysShop 6 месяцев назад

I remeber getting it from Thigiverse. I did a search and couldn't find it again. Sorry! There are a bunch of other munts available though for the TFT50 listed

@cosmefulanito5933 6 месяцев назад

You don't need to step down from 24V to 12V with a buck converter. You can use a simple series resistor.

@GuysShop 6 месяцев назад

Just making it easier for the folks out there.

@cosmefulanito5933 6 месяцев назад

@@GuysShop I think a resistor is more easier than a buck converter, but it's ok.

@30dimos Месяц назад

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

@30dimos Месяц назад

I have also found the ender 3 v3 KE 150 euro, is it worth buying? if I can get it And I found the ender 5 with extra µmicrowiss investment some noizle Here it has prices 300 400 In the shops .. For used I found it 150 euro I am thinking of getting both they are good bargain prices because they are not easy to find with little money I find a few pieces here

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.

@GuysShop 6 месяцев назад

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

@charlesyudgehinusiv6426 6 месяцев назад

Sorry I’m new to this the pad 7 is DC12V 2A
