Creality Ender 5 plus level guide and getting your prints to stick. 

Just got an Ender 5 plus for work - could never have gotten my leveling issues sorted without you. Thank you for posting this!

Thanks, you are the only one that's mentioned the weird string effect at the start if you don't take auto levelling off. thanks for the tip going to try today. Please keep up the videos there are not a lot of us out there doing videos for the ender 5 plus, I'm going to start soon once I got the thing working properly.

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINS THE PAPER THING!! I’ve seen so many people using paper but never explaining what it should feel like. I’ve been having an absolute nightmare with my 5 Plus and this tutorial has saved my sanity.

This kicker of rocks says THANK YOU!!! I was getting nowhere with my initial leveling until I found this. Yours is a video that needs to get out there more and I'll be sure to share it!

I almost went insane after days of trying to get my prints to stick. After doing the steps in your video two times it just comes out perfectly. Thank you so much you are the goat.

Just got my ender 5 plus and been trying to level for a few days off of the instructions with no joy, your video levelled it 1st time thank you!

TYVM, you really helped me a lot here. If I may ask one small thing, turn "screen rotation" on your phone ON, and then rotate your phone 90 degrees so you're filming in wide screen for the benefit of us who are watching on our computers.

Dude FINALLY!!! Creality needs to take a note on their instructional videos as they obviously missed a ton!!! The Z Home and keeping Z home was driving me insane!!

thank you - I have watched the official video several times and hadn't got it to work. Your explaining that the home is a store made so much more sense.

litterally this video let me do my first print i am soo gratefull my man i cant controll my happiness rn and its all thanks to you mr fluffy pancakes

Bro this was it! This turned my leveling issues and sticking issues into a thing of the past! You are the man and appreciate the info

This is my very first printer and the table kept hitting the tip. I walked away 4 times till I found you're video and got it. Thank you

Many Many thinks to you. Have watched multiple videos on how to level this thing and all was a no go until I watched your video. Printing my very first benchy right now!!!

I fought the leveling issues for hours and this video sorted things out. Great job and thanks for the help!!!

This is 1000x better than the video Creality put out.

Thank you !!!! This is the best info video. You really saved me, i could not get it to work. But this helped mee

Thank you sir you addressed every damn problem I’ve been having I’m about ready to throw this printer in the garbage my tempered glass plate is scratched all to hell thank you so much for all your information!

Thank you so much for making this video! Fantastic leveling! Solved all my problems. :D

huge help, thanks. especially the z home save

Well! Thank you for saving another sole here, yes your video does save lives! Brilliant and logical way of doing it. I’m very great full fort your time and tips. I was so happy when it started to print, yet then it decided to print right tight in the front left corner?! I’m shore the model was centered in Slicer, yet maybe I missed a setting in there somewhere? This wouldn’t surprise me! So had to abort, as the auto level sensor was bumping onto its own wheel! I remember that Slicer asked something about the start position, yet had no idea then, there was no profile at all for this product, kind of strange!

The best leveling tutorial 👏👏👏

Thank you so much. This was done very well and it looks like it solved my current issue. Now on to the next issue

Finally got my leveling issues fixed thanks to you!!!

Your video helped me a ton! Thanks a lot for being detailed and walking through everything step by step.

Thank you for a good video. It is the only video i have found that i can actually follow

This friggin good, keep up the good work!

Thanks for this video! This helped fix my prints!

Ty for the plate heat tip. Iv been running to low. Going to get batteries for my digi calipers too. 😊

Thanks for the thorough video.

Good explanation, great video. Thank you. :)

Well shit...I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head here. I've been following the Creality instructions and my ender 5 plus always prints that line from front to back down the left side of the print bed, then another half-assed line diagonal from the first line towards the middle. And I always feel like I have to stand there for the beginning of the each print because once the print begins and it prints the first little border around the print, the head gets all tripped up when it tries to pass over that second diagonal line and then the head starts dragging the already printed filament behind it. Then it's a big shit show I'm chasing the head around with a pair of needle nose pliers trying to grab the dingleberry hanging from its ass. Then I have this issue of the prints not wanting to stick even though I've cleaned the print bed and done just about everything people suggest online (except for hit that Z Home button. I think the print head is raising back up after I level it causing the head to be too far away from the print bed. This thing definitely has he me pulling my hair out on regular occasions. I'm an electrician and I only use it to print Lutron Cassetta wireless remote wall brackets, at least thus far that's about it. But the only filament that has printed successfully for me so far is the cheap opaque white shit that came with the printer and now that that's gone I'm using some Overture PLA+ and I though the new filament was the issue until now. THANKS MAN! You saved my printer from getting thrown out the window.

Dude seriously thank you so much I'd been messing with this for days and it kept trying to print on the edge

you saved my printer. thank you

Thanks! I turned off auto levelling until I had adjusted everything first. The real take away from this was adjusting the Z to get the nozzle close in the middle, doing the aux levelling and THEN turning on auto levelling, doing the measuring THEN turning auto levelling back off before printing. There's definitely a bug with auto levelling when it's left on. I had exactly the issues you described, including where auto levelling freaks out and almost destroys your bltouch in the corner. I'll be upgrading to a 12864 display which can run the latest marlin and not Creality's shitty firmware.

wow...and I was wondering why my nozzle was staying far...ok, thanks a lot

Thank you so much now is almoust perfect. Thanks a lot for explanation. 🙂

Thank you for the great explanation. My Ender 5 plus doesn’t have the auto bed leveling option

Thanks for answering an assortment of questions, would you have a link for the Feeler Gauges?

very helpful video! Thank you!

Thank youi!! very much

Really appreciate the help.

So... my plate might be upside down

Many thanks, I will try this out tonight and let you know. Where did you get replacement springs from?

YOU ROCK! Thank you!

Thanks!!!!

Thank you dude

Lol nvm nothing sticks anymore, PLA or ABS. I've tried every combination between 190° to 220° nozzle and between 50° and 70° on the bed for hatchbox 1.75 PLA. At best I get corner warping and stringy 1st layer (or brim/skirt I don't know the difference whether 1st layer is before or after the brim/skirt because nobody really explains which is which) or what I normally get is nothing sticking to the bed or major clumping on the nozzle. I've made adjustments to the bed height. I don't know what else I can do. There's only so many hours in a day that I can run test prints.

can you post a link to the long feeler gauges I can't find them on amazon

Bro I finally am getting stuff to print 😂 please teach me how to print ABS.

Wow I like the printer

Ender 5 plus looks cool, im currently putting it Together and the cheap screw broke. Ima have to get super glue. If you get the printer, just know it Sucks to put together

hi I need help, I've followed this tutorial about 3 times and im still having issues, my filament balls up and keeps getting stuck on the nozzle or if I adjust the leveling again that may be fine but won't stick to the bed. I've been at this for a week

Hi buddy I’m back again. Kind of hoping that you could re-do this video a little bit more clearly, I tried everything that you said I still can’t seem to get it to correctly level. It would be very much appreciated 😁 and if not I will try to persevere and solve the problem.

Im having a hard time with all of the above ill try following your video tomorrow

hello, i just got my ender 5 plus and i've found out that i have to flash the LCD screen and also the motherboard. I havent checked yet to see what i have. i would like any help in flashing the correct firmware where to get it from and the best way to do this. I tried to use my sd card from my ender 3 v2 and nothing would print from that on the ender 5 plus. any help is appreciated. thank you

Thanks for the video. I just need to check one thing. After measuring and I'm happy with the settings, do I press Z home again or just exit to the main menu?

This helped me(and my 16 y/o) with the leveling issues. Do you have a kofi or PayPal or something that I can toss cash at?

I'm sure you are aware by now that turning auto level off makes the printer not use the mesh so you have no auto-level at all

Hey, have you ever ran into an issue when you go to level the corners and one corner the nut is completely loose and still doesn’t rub the paper/shim? Does that mean the bed would be warped? Thanks in advance

How do I zero out bed? I see in your video you got all zeros. Mine has all kinds of numbers lol Is auto home suppose to zero out and also save the settings?

Hi, I have a question. when I home my Ender 5 Plus and go to the leveling screen, I see that rather than all zeros, I see some small number in all the spots that you show zeros. Looking at minute 6:51 in your video. Is that normal or not. How do I get it to be all zeros.

gonna try this out i will keep you posted! also do you know why the compensation keeps reverting back?

Just gotten one and building it up at the moment. Been looking at some videos about calibration and I'm afraid to turn it on. It looks like a crap implementation if something that could of been real good. Should have watched some videos about this before I bought one.

Thanks bro!!!

So after you play with the knobs, you press "measure" and then "Z-Home" after? This is what I did, and it still didn't save the Z point. I didn't have auto-leveling on. Is that important?

Wow you are amazing

Im having similar issues with my crap box. Another issue in addition to bed adhesion is the pla bunching up at the nozzle and just globbing up.

Thank You

how in gods name did you get everything on 0 ?

nice!

genius .

Touch Sensor now deploys however after pressing leveling tab the bed lowers twice after touching sensor but on third movement upward the sensor does not extend and bed pushes into nozzle. Your solution?

Hi, I have a issue. During auto leveling, or just before starting a printing (during autoleveling as well) the nozzle is crashing with the front x axis frame. I have no idea how to fix this

My Ender Plus doesn't have the button auto leveling ! how do I fix that ?

How do you get the bars under the build plate to have the same gap?

OMG thank you so much!

fuckkk yeah worked for me

Please help me :( I did this, it didn’t work so I decided to try the Creality video one last time and now AUX leveling touch pad numbers don’t work at all.

Measuring from the bushing to the bed is ok if you have the silicon springs that you can take measurements from them resting on the bottom with no pressure but with the stock springs you are going to get totally different measurements that adjusting your leadscrews may not fix, I just assembled this printer and its a pain in the arse, why is it you see videos of builds and reviews and they don't seem to have any of these problems if I knew what I know now I wouldn't have bought it, I got it from Amazon and paid over the odds for the assurance of being able to send it back if it is faulty. Those Creality videos are fake they are edited together to show it working, why they can't tell us how they got it working is beyond me after all that was the purpose of the Creality video

At the end of each aux level the 1 spot has a huge gap before and after, but when I do Z Home its in the correct spot and it just above the bed is that normal?

im having real trubble with mine atm like i know how to level it iv had great prints ect but i fucked up and forgot to do the 0.00 before leveling drove my head into the bed grinded it down and now even if i level it perfectly its still to far from the bed so i think i may have made my tip shorter and its not accounted for if that makes sense

Doesn’t work the damned machine keeps pushing the bed up too high and pushing hard up into the nozzle

Mine doesn’t do the 16 point check it does like 4

really?

Check out the silent board install no more loud sounds amazing. Got rid of some issues and the random stuff the printer use to do. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aTVv3MeIYNM.html

Lmfao you should not level with anything more than 0.1. Paper (say 0.1) is already too thick for the perfect first layer, .4 will give you terrible levelling

No one should ever buy a creality. I bought this printer on Amazon and was sold by creality on Amazon. The bltouch didn't work and the bed is really warped. I sent an email to creality for support with my order number on amazon only to get a generic reply of "you should contact the seller on Amazon and they will help you" I will just return it to Amazon and leave a negative review. Seriously don't waste your time on creality.

I hate vertical phone video it's akin to watching tv through a crack in the door!

Stop filming videos in portrait

Thanks!!!
