Ender 5 S1 - The Best 3D Printer Creality Has Ever Made 

You should print a large sign that says "It's Okay to Dance" and hang it on your wall as your version of "Live, Laugh, Love." 😂

wow! That was fast! You were just talking about doing this video yesterday! You're a video uploading machine! Go Nathan, Go!

I think that they went with a different extruder and hotend for packaging reasons. The normal sprite would stick out to the front, where you would have plenty of space on a bedflinger, but thats not an option on a bed lifter, you would need a larger frame or limit your travel space. This also makes sense (smaller frame) since creality paid attention to keep everything within the frame, so you can bolt panels directly to the frame as enclosure and a smaller enclosure means higher ambient temperatures. Its also a pretty common fan duct design for such a printer, a different orientation would mean more space taken up by the tool head, the only other way would be mounting the fan over the x axis extrusion, but that would also be a loss of travel space

Cool! Thanks.

Great video! Like your quirky sense of huma' that you add in there. The grinding noise is a "dirty" bearing or a missing bearing ball. Majority of the cheaper linear bearing are sent with tons of machining debris. You don't notice the effect 'cause it's on the Z. Take it off, swirl it in alcohol, run a lint free rag through it, add l'un and you are off to the race again.

Great video! Tons of information, and very well presented. I'm 1 step closer to deciding what printer to buy...I really do thing it'll be the Ender 5. Thanks for this. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I really like the 5 S1. I have some upgrades in mind myself. Mostly has to do with the fans.... Grerqat video brother!

Good day About the printer paper in your box. This is due to limitations on the delivery side. They needed to extend the weight of the package to be shipped. This first occured on FLSun V400 and the reason is explained above.

A great video and I can't wait for my modder board. I'm thinking BMG extruder and Triangle Labs new hotend.

subbing for insanely high speed print videos with this. keep your promise sir :)

love how thorough you are. wish you would put a volcano on a belt printer next

This printer looks really good, but knowing Creality, a Plus version is coming soon so I will wait for that. Hopefully it will have the linear rods on both sides of the bed. Also, I wanted to thank you, I watched your stuff about the S1 and the S1 Pro and ended up getting the S1 Pro. I couldn't be happier! Thank you!

The nozzle is the one for the Spider Hotend used on the Ender 7.

Good video, hope to see the Neptune 3 Pro review as well!

New to printing, i found the same bed dip in the E5S1 I've been working with

DONT MOVE ANY AXIS MANUALLY, spinning the drive motors at high speed creates electricty which feeds back to your main board and releases the magic smoke, confirmed on a mk 3 pro😞

Nice video thanks. I ordered this machine today. If you lock your 3 main video camera settings then you won’t see those brightness changes after editing.

The base fan noise is probably the power supply fan. I've not found many that shutoff the fan if it's running cool.

Another great video! I would like to see more stuff that's not Creality though.

Now i want a Ender5 s1 plus

GREASE THEM POLES UP!

Great review as usual Nathan, even had a little bop to the piano music. Are your break out boards available for international export yet, still trying to solve my fan problem on my Ender 3 Pro?

I hope you succeed big bro :-)

I don't suppose you bought the 'upgrade' items by chance? I just made a purchase for one of these with those items and was wondering if you had some thoughts on them. Great Channel. I've been watching your stuff all day.

Lubricate that linear bearing it sounds dry

A 300c capable printer without enclosure. Its very hard to make a enclosure for Ender 5 series because of the top arrangement; motor etc. In 2022 no belt tensioners, buggy Creality firmwares, no dual Z for 500+ USD. I think P1P is great option for 200 more. If you want thinkering Sovol SV 5.

Great video! Can you replace the hotend with a Creality Engraver/Cutter?

Well shoot. We'll searching for my 1st 3d printer I bought this and before they shipped it I changed my mind and went with the ender 3 s1 pro.... this video was not out at the time.

Thank you for a great review of the printer which I was looking for. Does this come with software that can be used on a computer?? Also what will you do to the bed to be able to remove the part easier?

Sweet video, first time seeing your stuff. I also got the printer. I however have an issue with the ABL which tries to ram my nozzle into my bed if I use it. Creality claims it's a firmware issue instead of a bonk machine but I guess we will see.

I have the ender 3 v2 with every upgrade done to it that you could think of and I am looking to get another printer and my eyes are on this ender 5 s1, would this be a great edition? Or should I look for something different in this price range?

Having to wait 2 mins to home the z-axis is classic Creality. 😂

Looks great but i will wait for the ender 5 s1 pro or plus , i bet they will release one soon

Someday, you might get a coreXY design and the accelerations will startle you with how violent they can be. Some of the travel moves are so fast that you can print with wet filament because it doesn't have time to ooze. However, I think your art form is the comedy of low end printers so that might hurt your content. :P

Great video!! Thanks for your time and effort! What was the printer at 17:12?!! Was that in real time?? 🤯

Creality really trolled you with that printer paper lol

In another video of yours about the Ender 3 S1 PRO i commented that i was one click away from buying that, but then i decided to buy 5 S1, which will have been delivered to me by mid January. I would like to ask if you know anything about octoprint support for this model. I did not find any useful information in google search.

Crunchy noise on mine is coming from the anti-backlash nut. I looked for the source for a while too and it seems to go away if I apply a little pressure to it with my finger. I may add some grease to that to see if it helps.

That’s a huge redo of the Ender 5. Nearly every part is different x - the extrusions, kinematics, hotend, display, etc. it’s almost a different printer save for the print volume.

Nathan I received my Ender 5 S1 a few days ago and I, too, am seeing the same layer oddity you did. Were you able to resolve the issue after the review video was completed?

Im after the Sovol SV05 Cubic but Sovel wont sell the SV-05 Cubic in the UK as they say we are not as interested in it as the rest of the world, they did this upon release, on the Ender 5 Plus/Pro FB group I belong to people are always complaining that they cant get the better Sovol machine, I hope they do their thing with the Ender 5 Plus as I am in need of a third Ender 5 Plus but will hold out for Soval to do their thing with it, if they dont sell this model in the UK I am visiting a friend in France next summer so will order to my friends address and bring it back, I will have to swap the delivery labels for the ones on one of my Ender 5 boxes though so I dont get taxed at the ferry port!

What solution do you recommend so I can use a hardened nozzle? So hard to find a nozzle to fit my Ender 5 S1

I think you forgot about gravity on your free body diagrams.

Do you still recommend this + Creality Sonic Pad over Ender 3 V3 or Bambu A1?

I can get this for 280 brand new. Sonic pad is another 100. Worth it or just go with Bambu P1S?

Do you think there is a big step-up from the ender 5 / ender 5 pro to the ender 5 s1? It is after all double the price...

I think it would be great if the print head would be sold separately to upgrade the older ender 5s.

My first printer is a cr-10s pro, i really want to take a new one with a xy cores because they so incredible, but it hard to chose, there always a problem, like flow rate. Would you recommand buying this instead of an ender 6 ???

what is that astonishing printer at 17:12? it looks quite fun to look into

Is it open or close source?

That poor printer you threw. Donate all your old crealitys to me. Ill promise to mod them and snip them😂 your favorite

Ничего не понимаю по Английски, но настолько понятны жесты и движения), я предельно для себя всё понял)), спасибо).

It's wired that they didn't set the switch's on top of the machine. That'll have made everything much faster

careful with the bed, not only does that surface stick too well, but the temptation to just push it down a little to make it easier to get at just wrekcs bed level, mine is almost never right

LOL, creality trolled you hard.

Hi. I want to buy this printer as a first 3D printer. What do you think about additional accessories? Or enough everything in the box? Also what do you think about Creality Sonic Pad? Is it useful with this printer or not?

Thanks, I will be buying this printer over other 3d printers, and probably build an enclosure for it.

Just got this printer and my is not sticking at all … any tips ?

As someone about to pull the trigger having never had one, would you recommend this one? Money isn’t a concern. I don’t want to go to $1k cause I’m also getting a resin printer. But I want to get an FDM so my wife can make crafts. You seem to know so much. Would love your thought!

Is it a real core y?????

Nathan did Creality fix that bed leveling wait?

Pre order is due to be shipped when??

$500 for a printer and within 2 min of actually using it, you want/have to change fans. That's the CREALITY motto "we sell you s**t and you'll keep buying it" No thank you, I can get a Anycubic Kobra MAX for that price....

I just bought a ender 5 s1 too,but I met a problem, after I manual leveling,I run the auto leveling,but my printer always delete my manual leveling position. after auto leveling the nozzle always away 1mm from the bed I guess. Now I just use manual leveling like old printer, I have no idea why I cannot using auto leveling, I already follow all the operations😢 Do you have any suggestions 🥺

Hmmm, other reviewers are saying this printer makes no sense in the market.

Which printer would you recommend for first timers? Like, if you had to choose one with the knowledge you have now, yet was starting out again, which would you get? :) I'm willing to invest, just want to make sure we get something worthwhile!

Which do you prefer this or P1P?

You should sell that and get a p1p. It’s better.

Can you print Carbon fiber with Ender 5 s1?

The 3 wheel vs 4 wheel explanation does not make sense. Sure, if both bottom wheels and both top wheels would be exactly aligned, then you'll be spreading the pressure at the bottom over both of those wheels, but the majority of that pressure is coming from you tensioning both of them against the beam, so that is also doubled. The real problem with 4 wheels is the fact that they can be misaligned. Having 1 wheel at the bottom center will only allow you to get the tension wrong, but if you tension it enough, it will pull the carriage flat onto the beam. With 4 wheels you can tension 1 of the bottom wheels less than the other, which can cause instability in the carriage. It's a bit like mounting a flat surface (like a bed) at 4 points, while everyone knows that 3 points define a plane and that hence adding a 4th just causes the risk of not having one of them in the exact same plane as the other 3 and then curving what should have been a flat surface.

Geez.... I'll buy the place instead.

I’d just like to add that Klipper is the future of 3D printing, and the future is upon us. Also, 4D and beyond is coming hot on the heels of Klipper. So that’s something to try to focus on more than what companies are doing to keep churning out variations on the Anet A8. BIQU is on the cusp, I think, so that’s where the action and the best ride/profit is.

its an id10t error not the bed surface. It has to cool and then its magnetic so you can take it off and flex it and prints pop right off. When prints finish on my printer i take the magnetic plate off and put it on top of my washer machine lid and it 10 to 20 seconds it allows my print to pop right off. You boasted about reviewing tons of these machines, but this is the first video I've ever watched of yours (last also) and it's like you have never 3d printed before.

I've had nothing but problems since I got it. E06, E07 FAULTS

I think your sticking too much due to beinf too close to the plate on the first level

Why tf does it home at the bottom? Thats no good

Yeah too little too late, this thing is a dinosaur in 2022 with printers like the Bambu Labs P1P on the market...

your so funny man hahahahahahahahhahaha

the bed. is too small

So .... Is it a too little and too late? ...as asked in your title to this video.

Did you really complain that the print has to home? That's normal procedure lmao. The bigger the printer the longer the movements. That's not a good complaint.

yes too little too late

About the bearings…..lubrication will cost money and in china lubrication is overrated!

IMO its by far the WORST printer they've ever made... Twisted x-axis on a large majority of peoples printers, auto bed levelling with Sonic Pad is completely broken because the levelling probe misses the bed entirely so you can't complete it, frame is out of square from the factory by several millimetres so you need to pull the top and bottom frames apart and re-assemble. I made the mistake of buying several to fill out my farm, same issues with every single one. I now own 3 big paper weights and a dodgy sonic pad. To add insult to injury Creality wants me to pay for not only shipping back to them but also for the free shipping to originally send them to me when I bought them! Absolute joke of company.

Poor wall -e hahaha

Lmfao when you say creakily is fixing the firmware homing issue cuz they didn’t even the wonder 3 v2 firmware yet and it’s been out for years. Creality never fixing shit.

What printer would you recommend for jewelry? Great vid, Thanks

Nope, Nope,Nope !!!!!!

Do you have a printer profile for the printer? I’m having a rough time, they sent it with just a windows file and I use mac🥲
