Creality Ender 5 review - The best Ender 3d printer?

[@DalaiFarma]

Your review was the one that helped me decide on the Ender 5, Mine comes tomorrow and I've just watched this review again for the 12th time in about 3 months lol I think I'll be pretty well prepared for this! Thanks Michael

[@cold711]

I have an Ender 3 and I've had an Ender 5 for about two weeks now. I can honestly say the Ender 5 is amazing. Great build quality, super easy to assemble, and really great prints from the start. I really didn't have to tweak much of anything on it and I was able to print a really great benchy. I've seen multiple comments about the lack of a dual Z. However if you used this printer you'd see that a dual Z on this thing would be pretty pointless. It's supported by two really thick 10MM rods along with the single Z. Also the bed only ever moves in one direction while printing (down) so there's a lot less movement/force on the bed. Outside of attempting to physically stand on the bed, the chance of bending or moving the bed outside of it's normal range is zero.

[@Sohtak_Beldeni]

do u recommend me to buy the ender 5 or the ender 3 pro ?

[@cold711]

@@Sohtak_Beldeni if budget and space isn't an issue I'd definitely go Ender 5.

[@FilamentFriday]

Nice summary. I like the chart showing the various Creality printers. The CR-10 Mini though is typically $50 less than CR-10. Right now its $339 at Creality and $349 on Amazon.

[@Sulaiman-ng9er]

Hi Antony, So how is it so far?

[@asth3tique]

This, (along with a few other videos of yours) was such a really well structured and informative review. The pace and information given, was perfect for someone like me, who is familiar with the 3D printer concept, but now, in a place where I can possibly own one. I quickly came to the conclusion that the ender 3 is highly regarded, and after a few other reviews from other brands and that amazing model breakdown at the beginning of this video, I'm going to move forward with the ender 5. Ill just save up the extra cashing go for it, thank you. liked and subscribed

Thank you for this clear revieuw.... i was thinking of buying a ender 3 pro, but now i’m in for the ender 5

[@acrylix3073]

Minor point - values @ 1:25 are calculated from the min dimension rather than the volume. Calculating with the volume yields more unwieldly numbers but the disparity is much clearer, particularly if you calculate V / price, so that higher is better.

[@oleurgast730]

I do not understand creality using this kinematic, moving the heavy x-stepper motor in y-direction. If you use an bowden setup, only ultimaker-style, corexy and delta make sense to get the moving mass as low as possible. Also I do not like the bed being hold only on one side. It should be more precice with a two side hold printbed. How much is the lead of the lead screws? Bed falling down normaly can be easy fixed with a lower lead. So if you have the common 4*2 = 8mm movement per rotation, it tooks 4 times the force to push down the bed if you use a 2mm per potation lead screw - easily fix that problem. Reducing the salomon skin I would not recommend tl-smothers but higher resolution extruder. A bondtech BMG (or a clone you can get for 22€) plus a 0.9° stepper. Its 6 times the resolution, makeing much more precise movement o filament. You may also change to a direct extruder (Petsfang with v6, BMG and Pencake stepper). Such a mod even costs less than a 1:1 microswiss mod (as you can use cheap chinese parts exept the microswiss heatbreak (and maybe the nozzle to print abrasives). If I had no Ender 3, I would think about the Ender 5, but if you have already an ender 3 (and do not need another printer), it makes no sense to upgrade.

[@potteryjoe]

"...(and do not need another printer)..." Who does THAT apply too??

[@oleurgast730]

@@potteryjoe I meant entry level printer... The target for the Ender 5 is the same as for the Ender 3: Beginners. After you got over it, you may not only buy and upgrade simple printers, but make your own with all feartures you need from stock. You have of course never enough printers, but there is a limit of entry-level printers you need.

[@LostCloudx4]

@@oleurgast730 When punching out product for people multiple entry printers is exactly what many need. ATM my base prints take 18hrs and can fit 1 on the bed, my average order is for 24 units and takes about 16 days to fulfill. If I had 5 E3's or E5's I could 1/4 that production time.

[@truantray]

The logical step is Ender 3 to CR10Pro. But 99% of users will not need more than an Ender3.

[@Tomaskom]

Salmon skin on these printers is not an extrusion issue at all. It wouldn't align perfectly in X/Y if it was. Adding TL smoothers on my Ender 3 reduced the salmon skin to almost invisible level. See www.thingiverse.com/thing:3323852 - a salmon skin test I made, with a picture of before and after the TL smoothers were installed (only on X+Y).

Awesome video. I was going to be getting an Ender3 Pro as my first 3D printer, but this video changed my mind to the Ender5.

[@jerrywoods3256]

After 4 months of owning an Ender 3 Pro, prints after prints with no problems. Ender 5 came in today and within 5 hours of printing, there was horrible grinding noise. Upon further inspection z-axis bearings has failed. The screws were also stripped, leading me to believe that someone at the plant has over tighten causing the bearings to be crushed. Will update when my replacement comes in.

[@jerrywoods3256]

I did some research, the part that failed is called "flanged bearing". My new Ender 5 came in, 10 hours in and is working flawlessly.

[@LostCloudx4]

OMG legend! As soon as I saw the Ender 5 release I knew it would be quite a decent reliable step up on the Ender 3 and ur findings back my thoughts. Def on my list to get a second E3 then and E5 for myself! Thanks heaps

Another good review Michael-keep up the good work

[@corneliusmooseknuckle2829]

Just received my Ender 5 from the official Creality site. In case anyone is considering buying this: The power supply is NOT a UL certified Meanwhile psu. They changed it to Landy, which is not UL certified. The mainboard does not have thermal runaway protection. The extruder drive feed is plastic. These parts aren't all that expensive but they do add up. You may want to consider how much you are going to have to spend on upgrades vs buying a higher end printer.

[@msdesignru]

Thanks for your review!

[@llothos]

so many choices. I currently have MP Select Mini V2 and looking at getting second printer with bigger print bed so I was looking at the ender 3 originally until the pro version came out and I figured I would likely go with that one. Since I'm getting closer to getting enough for the printer I started looking around some more and someone mentioned the CR20, it was a little more then the pro, easier to assemble and just looked like a upgraded version of the pro so I was pretty much settled on that one. Now in the same group I hear people talking about Ender 5, find out price range is still within my current budget and I'm a fan of this design style but it doesn't seem to be as popular and harder to find in Canada at least, I was hoping to stick to a canadian store or amazon but we'll have to see. I should have enough in the next 6 weeks or so.

[@goldbunny1973]

Crystal clear & very informative. Pity the YT video title covers up part of the top of the screen as it's obscuring the names of the models, maybe you can put graphics a bit closer to centre then everything will be legible. It's nice to see manufacturers reverting to PROPER BUILD MANUALS. Ikea could learn from this. A Glasgow man recently threatened to *blow up* the Braehead Store as he struggled to assemble a flatpack wardrobe. Let's hope he never buys a 3D Printer : )

[@Nishandh_Mayiladan]

he will probably blow up himself trying to assemble the blowing thing :D

[@spikekent]

Great review Michael. Thank you

[@stefanwilkens]

It looks like they updated the hotend bracket, the hotend and fans now seem to be centered and the bracket seems to be wider. That would make it a lot easier to design custom things for this thing!

[@valpercinabanalan8576]

Thanks again for your Honest Review bro

[@SidneyCritic]

I suppose it works, but there is something uneasy about a printer that uses a raising cantilever bed that is only supported on one side.

[@ahaveland]

That concerns me too, but considering it's just holding a static mass it should hold its calibrated level pretty well unless the print job grows to a few kg. Yes, would be nice to have another Z lead screw, but that's more money though maybe one stepper could drive both with a timing chain. Then things get a little more difficult for a beginner to calibrate.

[@Mephiston]

Yeah but dont worry in 6 months they'll bring out an ender 5x pro that has dual z-axis support. You know they will, its Creality we're talking about.

[@st0sk1]

My friend has one, the bed BENT. He flipped it over and it is fairly straight, still they should have some sort of belt leveller which supports the other side of the bed, if not dualZ motors..

[@Gowaduv]

@@Mephiston they'll manage to make at least three different variations on the dual z supported bed. Creality can't seem to just make one haha

[@Mephiston]

Like, I get what they're doing. They're trying to saturate the market with options in order to have their fingers in every price bracket. What they don't understand is that with some careful engineering and a healthy dose of QA they could be among the best printer manufacturers out there. They should have the guide rods on each corner, and preferably dual z-axis.

[@PracticalProjects]

Nice review as always!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I prefer that style (non-i3 Prusa) printer so you don't have the mass of the build plate swaying around the Y axis. How well is the bed supported from just those front rods? Any vibration?

[@ricocamus]

[@3rutu5]

i know this is over a year old, but Ender 5 vs Artillery Sidewinder X1? forgetting the fact the X1 has a bigger build volume. Which would be a nice step up from the Ender 3?

[@mdh7079]

Can you please check that build volume? Doesn’t look anywhere near 500x500x500. Perhaps that’s the outer dimensions of the printer?

Thanks for the review. Still thinking about buying one...

[@javeronh.3996]

I have an ender 3 pro. upgraded motherboard to 4.2.7, 500 mm ender extender, microswiss direct drive. just got a used ender 5 plus that was abused a bit. seems after ordering parts (just ordered so waiting for them to get here) I am still well under the purchase price to put a ledgek motherboard, microswiss direct drive. it seems it would be around the ender 3 volume/price ratio, but I got it for well under half so in my case it is well under the CR-10. I don't know if it is worth it for you to go over the ender 5 plus and good modifications/upgrades. thanks for your work and going to watch through your other videos to learn more

[@thunderbuddy78]

Right now I'm looking g in Amazon and the price diffrence is pretty massive between the ender 3 and 5 ender 3 beu g 250 while the ender 5 is about 350. I don't if its really worth to spend almost half the price more for a little but bigger of an object.

[@manu7irl]

mate you talked about the print being 180 degrees rotated you just need to reverse y axis in the gcode panel in s3d. thanks for your amazing vids and tuts!

[@oleurgast730]

No, reverse only one axis would do a mirroring, not a 180° rotation. You have to reverse x and y to make a 180° rotation of the print.

[@TeachingTech]

I'll probably fix it when I configure Marlin but until then it's a really minor quirk in my opinion.

[@MrJelle18]

@@TeachingTech The X and Y axis are flipped in the slicer profile, not in the firmware. Simply unticking (or ticking) those two boxes in the slicer settings would fix this.

Trying to decide what to get for my next printer (currently Ender 3). trying to decide between the CR10S Pro or the Ender 5 Plus. Will get a SKR Mini E3 (would it be usable with E5+?) and V6 hotend. What worries me a bit is upgrade option (hotend mounts etc) since I've read that the mounting brcket for the E5 differs and the options might be more limited. (also custom bed size for finding flexplate and similar upgrades).

[@matiasfumazoni]

Hi, how are you? maybe you can help me.... I have a ender 5 plus, and I installed a bmg v6, I disambled the machine and ensambled all again (to clean up, install leds and cable management, etc). I started the machine, I seted up the steps and PIDs with pronterface, and now when I go to print the Y axis seem that were moved to the front, and in the back I have 5cm free aprox... What I can do? I runed command 502 on pronterface, and seted up de steps and pids again, but nothings seem to work. I also checked with programs and with the printer the axis, and seems to be ok, but when I try to print, the Y axis just go to the limit of the bed to print.

[@ChristianLoww]

Sheesh, prices during this pandemic have skyrocketed. Do you recommend waiting to buy if I am getting my first printer?

[@Captmarksparrow]

It looks like the only ender 5 I could find, at least on Amazon, is the ender 5 pro, which might explain the price hike. I personally have just modded out my ender 3 pro, and am loving it so far.

[@Minionbro360]

You could get a better printer for cheaper or at the same price

[@calden74]

I currently have a Raise3D Pro2 (my current workhorse), a Wanahao Duplicator D8 for figurines, and a Flashforge Creator 3 that I use for fun projects. I'm currently looking for a low cost, large build printer that I can basically print 24-7 to make resin molds. Is this a stable enough platform to do so, is the quality of the print good enough. It's down to this or the Wanahao Duplicator D9 500 MK2 that basically allows you to print a car.

[@squirralien1863]

I love your videos and understand the pro's and con's but I am still changing my mind every few videos I watch, you may already have one, is there a video on the best mid price ($400-$600 give or take) 3D printer to buy and use out of the box, upgrades maybe as time goes on and you learn more. or suggestions in comments on this comment. I never thought I would have so much brain mush trying to pick a 3D printer,, doing the same with a laser engraver/cutter, must be some damaged neurons upstairs. I need a min of 220x220 bed and would like to do the ABS, would hate to decide to use a specific filament and find the bed doesn't get hot enough. I know some personal opinions will change a decision so maybe even a top two or three good to use out the box. I have been looking at the Ender 3 and this 5, I like the CR10s pro I think it is and also liked the JGMAKER 3D Printer A5 Updated, also didn't mind the GEEETECH A10M & A20M I think the problem is too many and I forget what does what, needs what, what's what. I get side tracked on a new one I see and like that for a while and end up going in circles.

[@dougjohnson1517]

Wow, they didn't change one thing I would have. This thing is still realistically limited to printing PLA, still has that gimped motherboard, still has that weak extruder, which so many people have to shim when it starts slipping on the filament. A 5cm taller build volume wouldn't even make my top 20 list.

[@subasioyuen2371]

so its the same as the ender 3 but larger z, and less wobble on the prints.

[@TeachingTech]

Great summary, yes. Same as Ender 3 Pro to be exact.Filament path being better is probably the only notable difference.

[@PaultitovRur]

Creality's stock motherboards are quite good. Its simple and easy. integrated 4988 stepper drivers are good also. In addition the board has an AUX pad to solder. It goes to pin 35 of AT1284 or #define E0_AUTO_FAN_PIN 29 in Marlin 1.1.9. So I shoose "Extruder Fan auto off at 50 °C" and soldered the FET board input to AUX with wire. Unfotuately it seems it has no PWM. So we cant set the speed of the fan, just on\off (0\255).

[@blackwolfecc]

Looks like a great printer, but with the well established CR-10s just a few dollars more and with a much larger print area, I’d have a tough time spending the money on the Ender 5. Great review non the less, and it’s good to see quality prints right from the get go without any tweaking (something I can’t say for the Ender 3 after my three and helping setup 6 other units).

[@aidangillett5396]

I bought my CR10 Mini as my first printer, back when I didn't really know anything about 3d printers. Wish I hadn't because I really cannot understand the additional expense, it's inferior in every way aside from build volume. And that in itself is a con when you aren't using it as there's less rigidity. 12v sucks, same board so you can't use any additional features, big bulky extra box on the side

[@blackwolfecc]

Aidan Gillett yeah, when I was getting ready to buy my own 3d printer, it was going to be the CR-10S. But was recommend the Ender 3 as a beginners printer and to avoid the cr10 mini until I had a good understanding of diy printers. The Ender 3 is not a beginners printer, imo, but I learned a ton which helped me successful put together Ender 3s for others and avoid the mistakes I made. The cr-10s just seems to be the logical next step for me. Then SLA. The Ender 5 is looken to be pretty awesome, but hard to justify over the cr-10s.

[@raymondwilliams6878]

@@blackwolfecc No disrespect, but whoever told you the CR10 Mini was more DIY than the Ender 3 was not well-informed. The Ender 3 is a Kit! The CR10 Mini ships mostly assembled. Look at reviewers who have both the Mini and the Ender 3...most of them think the CR10 mini is the better machine out of the box, which is why it is more! The Ender 3 does have a few advantages, but price is the main one.

[@blackwolfecc]

Raymond Williams oh, yeah... NOW I know that. Not going to argue with you there. What I was trying to say was that the Ender 3 isn’t really a good beginner printer in my opinion... as a beginner. I’ve gone through a few Ender 3s and not one of them printed well from the get go without some major tweaking to the whole kit. I think the Ender 3 was recommended because of the price point. Through my many many hours of digging for help on the Ender 3, I read some help requests and watched some videos on the mini. Which, at the time, made me unsure the Ender 3 was the right choice. After dialing in the first one I had(well second... first one was sent back to creality), the next two were easier and the others I’ve helped put together and dial in have been even easier.

I currently have a lot of modifications on the Ender 3 that I'd like to be able to transfer over to the newer printer. I know I could transfer things like the BLTouch and my new Dual Gear Extruder over easily, but would it be just as easy to transfer my BTT SKR Mini E3 1.2 Mainboard over along with my BTT Touchscreen? I know I'd have to edit Marlin, but other than Bed Size I'm not sure what speed settings and other settings I'd need to match the Ender 5 board. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Michael nice review. Would be good if they redid the manual for the other Ender and CR the same as the one in the video, (maybe they might?), and made them a download. However, I cannot believe they have stuck to the same tiny motherboard though without a bootloader. Yes I understand doing that removes all the support issues ffrom those that update it but another hobbled printer from Creality? That pretty much forces any owner to have to trash the warranty to add any functionality or live with it as is and it is worrying that basic stuff like thermal runaway protection is still not there and yet print on power resume is?

What is the model of the Mean Well 24V 14.6A power supply in this? I just bought one which supposedly included only a Mean Well power supply, but that was a lie (it came with a Landy). I want to buy the higher quality Mean Well power supply but finding out what the exact model (of the many Mean Well 24V 14.6A units) it is seems to be impossible.

I assume the updated Ender 3 software from reality would be installed the same as as any other version of marlin

[@Special-5323]

What setting did you use to print in PETG? Did you need to replace any parts to do so? Thanks advance

[@vernrandall8470]

Bought the Ender 5 pro nice printer works well.

[@JDoyle]

How're you getting on with it?

[@MajorProblemsStudios]

I wouldn't call the Ender 2 superseded as it is still useful for those who don't want a huge print area or are low on desk space

[@mikehogan6619]

How can I reach out, need help in selecting a printer, willing to compensate for your expertise ?

[@elmariachi5133]

I think with the more rigid frame of the Ender-5 it could be a nice ideo if you showed how to put Klipper on it.

[@nothanks7752]

considering it's the identical board as the ender 3, you'd just follow those same steps. Only difference would probably inverting the Z home up instead of down.

Please help. I have a ender 3 and have loaded the marlin firmware as recommended in one of your previous videos. I have a strange print quality problem that I don’t understand. As the layers print they look like a woven basket with strips of area evenly spaced with no plastic. King of like the American flag strips look. Then the next layers is in a different direction but same problem. Please help someone

[@kurtlindner]

Great review.

[@seanmohrhoff502]

Great reviews as always, though this video is now 2 years out of date. Have you noticed if there has been any improvements? I've noticed the Ender 3's are now being sold with the upgraded control board, is that true with the 5? Also, you mentioned the bed only heats up to 80 degrees which was problematic for ABS. Now ABS is being replaced by ASA, would that still be an issue? Thanks again for all you do!

Ender 5 vs artillery sw X1 which is better quality n price wise?

[@Voltomess]

How to use 3D printer? where you getting those models from?? is it something you need to create/draw on the computer using 3d program and then transfer that to 3d printer? or I can download many ready to print things/files from the internet?

[@phillipleathley8005]

Anyone heared of the problems now with the ender3 ie fire risk

[@ssjronin3972]

Based on your graph Would you recommend the cr10 over the Ender 5? Would like to print tough materials like nylon.

[@helgemoller5158]

This is based on the Hotend Design. Nylon with the base Hotend Design in most of all 3D Printers, emmits toxic gas from the PTFE Tube above 245-250° C Degrees.
