Overall I was very pleased with this machine over the several weeks I was able to spend with it. I really put it through its paces as I slotted into my production environment and ran it almost 24/7
The repeatability and reliability of this printer really impressed me and I would be comfortable recommending it to both beginner and advanced 3D printing enthusiasts.
I would also recommend this printer to anyone looking for a "out-of-the-box" solution for general use. You can be up and running in next to no time with this guide and my slicing profile.

I lined up the Ender 5 S1, the Flashforge Adventurer 4, and the Prusa i3... after a week of heavy research and after watching this video, I decided that the Ender 5 S1 will be the first 3d printer that I own - I actually ordered it while the last few minutes of this video were playing in the background. Thank's for the complete breakdown and honest review.

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Glad it was useful for you to make your decision!

@norseengineer Год назад

Same. I ordered the speed package that includes the sonic pad. I also ordered an ender 7, that is $343 right now. I think (hope) that the sonic pad and tri-axis bed support will make that a nice printer

I just received my new Ender 5 S1. Came across this video after building my printer and loved the way you demonstrated how to get started, especially leveling the bed. I watched several other videos before I reached yours and they weren't nearly as good in the startup and first print demonstration. THANK YOU!!! I ordered my printer directly from Creality along with the Sonic Pad. Haven't installed the pad yet but I'm excited to do that next. I'll check your channel to see if you've covered the Sonic Pad setup. Considering buying the PEI plate from your website.

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Thanks again Chris, there will be an upcoming Sonic pad video for sure! Stay tuned!

I flashed Klipper on the 5 S1, and was able to get rid of the stringing. I don't know why I (we) had such a hard time with the stringing using the original firmware. Have it very reliably running at 120 with great results. Nice Review!

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Thanks! Glad I wasn't the only one who experienced this. I recently picked up a sonic pad so in excited to try it out on the Ender 5 S1

I've watch a ton of videos about this machine but for me this gave me the information I wanted. You showed plenty of finished prints in good close up and that's what I wanted to see. The prints look good. The Info about the print plate was excellent and I will order that at the same time. I have been tossing up between this and the Bambu Lab X1C but for me in NZ its about $1000.00 less for this and the prints look kinda the same. Good video. Thanks.

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes the print quality is excellent and I've heard with a sonic pad (klipper) it gets even better. It may not match the speed of the Bambu Lab X1C but if it is $1000 less and you can live with less speed and still get great quality it sounds like a good deal.

@jespero94 10 месяцев назад

Hey! Thanks for the video. Im completely new to 3D printing and got this printer. Im trying to understand and setting up some profiles. What speed do you usually print in? When doing a fine profile and just a standard one(faster)? Print speed? Infill speed? outer wall speed? support speed? travel speed? Also when i print the boat that comes on the memory card the filament is blank on the finished product. When i print with the standard profile in creality slicer (0,2mm layer height) the filament gets matte.. Any idea what that can be to cause this?

@dmax9324 Год назад

I would love a comparison between this and the Ender 7-post modding. I'm really curious about your opinions on the Ender 5S1 cantilever. The only thing I feel like this printer doesn't have is dual z axis, although I don't own one and can't speak to whether it is necessary.

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Ender 7 post modding is pretty good but honestly I have yet to find the time to push it with Klipper. I have a Sonic pad now so I'm going to try and run it with both the Ender 5 S1 and the modded Ender 7. I think the Ender 7 will likely produce better results with the high speed printing because of the linear rails / core xy and the higher flowing hotend, plus the highly rigid bed design that I put together. The Ender 5 S1 is an amazing out of the box printer without modding - even the new bed design is way more rigid than any other cantilever design Creality has put together in the past. For printing "regular" speeds it is more than up to the task and no issues with bed sagging. I suspect once I use the Sonic pad it might start to reveal some issues with the cantilever and the overall motion system but hopefully some of that can be tuned out with more advanced compensation like input shaping. We will see!

@nolanmanley5359 Год назад

Lowering the retraction speed around 25 or 30mm/s with .8 to 1mm retraction will likely fix the whisping.

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

I lowered the retraction speed a little and it did help a little bit. Still getting some whisping here and there depending on the filament. Really strange. Someone said they switched to Klipper and it went away

@johnson6048 Год назад

This was the first thing I did on my new Ender 5 S1 cura profile. The default retraction was 5mm🤣 and so I copied my Ender 3 Pro cura profile that I know works beautifully. Similar retraction distance and speed that you suggested.

@dspamers 2 месяца назад

Which firmware version are you running? Have you had issues with ABL going AWOL? Mine went from one print being perfect to the next print being off-level and unable to revel. Even manual relevel only works for that print, the next one it's off again, ABL throws everything out, almost like the z-offset is different on the left and right sides of the bed.

@sowerchaos5012 10 месяцев назад

Hey this may be a dumb question, but I just got the 3d printer, I heated the nozzle but the filament refuses to feed, I even cut it and did the usual poking around for the right angle, even tried using the thin metal needle and nothing goes down

@EmbraceMaking 10 месяцев назад

While you're trying to manually feed the filament through, you're pushing the tensioning lever on the extruder so the filament can get past it, right?

@corbard8766 Год назад

My ender 5s1 does not have a z limit switch or wiring fot it. I noted this was missing in creality assembly video as well. Any idea why I would not have that?

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

That's very strange, when you home the printer does it go to the bottom first or go up and use the cr touch?

@jackdiesel96 Год назад

Same here, it goes down about 10mm then up until it hits the CR Touch. It's never gone all the way down

@thijspost6821 Год назад

Some reviews suggested the z limit switch was unnecessary and the uso of the cr touch sensor as a limit switch would make more sense.

@willlopez4129 Год назад

the first batch of CE5s1 printers had the 3d printed cooling duct, and z limit switch, the updated version doesn't have the z limit switch anymore and injected molded plastic for the duct now.

@sammcj2000 Год назад

Prusa 1.6 alpha has official profiles, they're pretty decent.

@wgalloPT Год назад

What type of materials can be used with it?

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

All metal hotend up to 300 degrees so: TPU, PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, HIPS, PC and others that fall under the 300 degree nozzle temp. For some of them you'll want to try to enclose the machine to prevent warping... Bed temp can go to 110 degrees so in theory you should be able to do ABS at that temp with a decent enclosure.

Si! Tengo el mismo problema, aún no sé cómo solucionarlo

@Sid762p Год назад

@@ejeZ327 Here is what I found and how I fixed it. I assumed that the auto bed leveling is the cause of this problem. As you do auto bed leveling both in the machine setting and before the printing start, an error levelling is occurred. You may check the Z axis, It supposed to stop in a single printing layer as you did perfect clearance between bed and nozzle. I fixed it by removing G29 from the start G code in machine setting of Creality slicer. Her, the machine will not do the auto bed leveling before it starts. Next, You have to restore the machine to default. After that, do manual leveling. Finally, print something out, check the Z axis rotation, check the printed part are in good level. PS. Do not use auto leveling at all !!

I spent hours on leveling but the middle is everytime higher than the corners 😒 and the autolevel doesnt compare the problem. Every print in the middle is too close to the nozzle. Every print around the middle is a mid-air fail... do you have a tip?

Hmm, what slicer are you using? Can you see the autobed levelling working on the first layer?

@oliverruelas1562 11 месяцев назад

IS THIS UNIT PRETTY LOUD? OR IS IT QUIET?

@EmbraceMaking 11 месяцев назад

I would say average. If you get it running on the sonic pad and crank up the speed it's going to get a little noisier, but if you're running at regular speed it's comparable to a regular Ender 3 S1 or most other modern Creality printers.

@viciusplay4440 Год назад

hello, I downloaded your profile to test it, and seen that you have a retraction of 1 to 30 mm/s, after printing a retraction test, it is not even close to a good print, apart from the fact that you have the upper layers to

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Been working great for me... are you experiencing too much stringing? If so, other factors that can affect stringing are printing too close to the bed (nozzle drags around excess plastic) and too high of print temperature for the material, or even water in your filament. Also I don't think you finished your comment. What is the issue with the upper layers?

@EmbraceMaking Год назад

Interesting, after wiping it did you do anything different at all? How did the print turn out? I actually have never used a Sovol yet, I should try and get my hands on one. I recently did a video about the Artillery Sidewinder and it's actually decent. Some people love the brand and others hate it but mine has been working flawless

@daynafost Год назад

@EmbraceMaking I think part of the problem was instead of sending me a new sonicpad which is what I paid for they sent a used and the person before did something that made every printer think it was a ender 3. After wiping it out, it now seems to be printing fine. I have printed several things, and all have come out ok. I love the Sovol, straight out of the box printed beautifully, and have not had a single issue.

Good to know, maybe as part of the procedure I put together for the video I'll mention just to wipe it right from the start!
