DIY CoreXY Linear Rails upgrades for Ender 5 Pro, almost turn it into an Ender 7 for $100 (Part 1)

[@David-ym2vk]

This has become one of my top favorite 3D printing channels. You’re very eloquent and informative and I appreciate your videos a lot. Look forward to more of your content. Thank you!

[@YippeePlopFork]

The level of detail and delivery in this tutorial is exceptional! I have an Ender 5 plus and want to move to coreXY, so I am very grateful for such an in-depth tutorial. Thank you!

[@ibcharles]

i am so glad i found this channel. the level of knowledge and extremely good presenting is mind blowing from one so young. excellent.

[@justinbrown218]

I'm blown away by this video! Everything is explained in perfect detail, from the design philosophy and part choices to the installation instructions. This gives me a ton of confidence in tackling this project myself. Great job, looking forward to more videos!

[@williams1128]

Your upgrades are so creative and the details you provide are super helpful. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the rest of the series!

[@tony_mfg7597]

She looks a bit young to be exponentially better than me in fusion 360, but she is. Also this is great! I've been thinking about designing a Corexy upgrade for my ender 5 pro and I see she did a better job than I probably would have done.

1st thing I do is go full screen. Your presentation and graphics are outstanding. Very helpful, thanks from Orlando Florida

[@Cuddles23]

I recently bought an ender 5 pro. This upgrade is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks guys, keep it up. Also, please do a klipper guide.

[@avejst]

Wow, what a jump in the deep end. Great totorial!! Thanks for sharing your expirences with all of us :-)

[@mkwetherell]

Great video, looking forward to seeing the rest. I just bought an Ender 6 and will be converting it to linear rails as well.

[@trugbilddrachen]

Great video and awesome explanation. One of the challenges with CoreXY not mentioned and people may struggle with tension and ensuring equal amounts for both belt paths. Looking forward to see this in motion. Again - great job AT team.

[@Tylor_taichou]

10:09 Giant Etch A Sketch lol I had heard that it was pretty doable to convert the Ender 5 to CoreXY but never looked into it. It's really nice to see the upgrade put so succinctly with the price, files, and setup all laid out. Any more succinct and you wouldn't have even made the 10 min mark lol. I just ordered my first 3d printer, taking a gamble with a Newereal T-Rex M18-S. From what I can see it's got somewhat loud fans, a no-name power supply, a fairly unique extruder and firmware setup, and of course zero community. But it's built solidly, is direct drive, and has a 310x310x400m build volume for $250, which was knocked down to $200 because I got it Amazon renewed for extra risk lol.

[@AuroraTech]

Wow! $200 is a awesome deal! According to the screen, the motherboard should be MKS Robin Nano, the same as a few other printers I reviewed, the Sapphire Plus, Bluer Plus and Kywoo are all using the same board, you can checkout my other videos if you want to know more about that board.

[@Tylor_taichou]

@@AuroraTech Wow, spot on. It is the Robin Nano v1.2 from what I've seen from the few reviews out there. Seeing that board is what actually tipped me over to "must buy" cause I'd seen it often enough on your channel that I knew I was covered for any upgrades/fixes I might want/need.

[@秋少-o7i]

你的改进令人印象深刻，做得太好了。我有一台um结构的复刻版，由于um对零件安装精度要求很高，所以这种复刻版非常不可靠，我正打算将它改装成corexy，你的视频给了我很好的参考，非常感谢你。

[@platinumfreeman]

I’ve been designing an idea to Corey my Ender 5 but I love your design! Scrapping my design to build yours.

[@TableTopBiker]

Great job yet again! Thanks for the awesome content. Some of, if not the best content for 3D printers on KZbin. Keep it up.

[@Masso1973]

Young lady, you and your brother are amazing. Thank you both. I can only imagine what you will be able to do in your future. 👏

[@scottchristiana3449]

What size linear rails do I need if I have a 5 plus? I'm on the road this week and wanna order the stuff so its there when I get home but I can't measure it right now

[@3D_Printing]

Good puts those steppers outside the frame, heated enclosure soon 🤩

[@jerbear7952]

Can you do the same with the ender 5 plus ? Thanks

[@f1hotrod527]

I hope she is going to be an engineer. She is a natural and has a very good grasp f mechanical systems.

[@curtisbarclay2292]

I love your videos 👌👌I'm in the proccess of building your CoreXY and was wondering. On the 6 blocks, you have the 5mm hole on the short part of the block and what looks like a 4mm hole on the higher part. Why is that? The 5mm x 60mm bolts don't fit. Thank

[@alienatheart]

Looking forward for the next part

[@dankgokrazy1809]

Will this work on the ender 5 plus if I just ordered 450mm rails instead of 400mm

[@khenry1231]

I am very happy I found you, Thank you.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

does this also work for the ender 5 plus model mainly the rails and printed parts?

[@56ogre]

Awesome video as usual, thanks!! How would I figure out the parts I would need to do this to an Ender 5 Plus? Do you see any problem with the extra size? Thanks again!!

[@brianbales9941]

How would I determine how long linear rails would have to be for the Tronxy X5SA PR 500?

[@janpetersen8441]

Dang, that's a clever design. And what an impressive CAD model, with color coding and everything. That surely has taken quite some time to complete. Well done guys. How was it printing with ASA on Prusa, any problems dialing in the prints? I am getting ready to start a Voron build, and plan to print the parts on my Prusa in either ASA or ABS (I haven't printed with either before). I'm really looking forward to the next installment of this series.

[@AuroraTech]

I use Polymaker ASA and select Prusament ASA profile, it prints quite well, better than ABS, but glue stick is still required.

[@marcmonnens9843]

@@AuroraTech hi greetings from Belgium, i am a big fan! I am a beginner 3 d fan and i neef your advice please. Ender 5 pro ( in Belgium 280 euro ) or prusa i3 mk3 ( in Belgium for the kit 750 euro) please your thoughts About this. Thans you Marc

[@Kfinch1992]

why exactly do you need two different washers? it appears the 0.5mm is only used under one belt. is there a reason you cant just use 1mm washers for the whole setup? or 0.5 for the whole setup? just trying to avoid buying 200 washers.

[@davedempsey5282]

thanks for this, I bought an SV05 and am getting the full function of it before i try to do this. Would it be better to print all the parts in asa? Or does petg have some properties you prefer for the other parts?

[@rickyyym]

Are linear rails better than the exoslide?

[@ps3customgamer]

I'm just starting to research converting ender 5 to corexy and I'm thinking a square carbon tube and MGN12C as oppose to H or even MGN9C to make the X gantry really ight.

[@jraiello]

Putting the new sprite pro extruder would be awesome on this. Do you have a plate to mout the Sprite by chance?

[@camsoup101]

This is a amazing project!

[@robertanderson4796]

I wonder to upgrade the Ender 5 Plus can you just get longer linear rails etc?

[@jasonhowardak]

@Aurora Tech, I have ENDER 5 plus, and not very happy with it, can you suggest a motherboard / screen upgrade and possibly do a how-to video... this thing has so many issues its difficult to keep up

[@HorribleGamr]

The th3d screen upgrade is amazing. Works well with my 2.2.1 Creality silent board

[@andrewwilliams5337]

Such great content on here.

[@jovs1407]

Wow , very great job you did here. I'm going to do this on my ender 5 pro. Do you know if i can do the same for my ender 5 plus? And have you done this upgrade to ender 5 plus ? It would be so nice if you can also make a video with this upgrade for ender 5 plus.

[@senjos]

Amazing!! I'm impressed about the knowledge you two have!! Glad I found this channel. I am thinking about to buy a Prusa i3 mk3s and was looking for an assembly video and found yours. By the way, your explanations are by far the best I have ever seen. I have 3 Craftbot plus 3d Printers, 1 Witbox 1 printer an old BQ i3 Hephestos 1 printer. I want to add a printer that is able to do multi color prints. And the Prusa i3 mk3s together with the Prusa MMU2S this could be a good printer. Do you plan to ubgrade your Prusa printer with the MMU2S? And do you think the quality from this both together can be as good as the excellent quality from the Craftbot printers?

[@AuroraTech]

Very interesting Craftbot Printers, ball screw and linear rails, looks like a CNC. I may also add a ball screw to the Ender-5 and see if that really makes any difference. I don't have the MMU2S so I have no idea how well it works, but the Prusa MK3S+ works really well compared to my other 3D printers.

[@aps3000miki]

@@AuroraTech a standard ball screw will not make a big difference but a precision ground ball screw will (THK). But those are well above budget. A preload IGUS (or similar Delrin copy) nut will make a huge difference. I know because I tried.

[@BuildThoseSkills]

​@@AuroraTech Nice Work!!! I just purchased an Ender 6 Core XY printer, and even purchased the lid so that it is fully enclosed. I have not assembled the Ender 6 yet because I have been too busy with my Ender 3 V2. Anyway, do you think it Is possible to convert my Ender 6 to use linear rails without spending more than abour $200 or so?

[@landroveraddict2457]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this upgrade. I recently purchased a new Ender 5 pro for £167 which I think is a bargain, it must have been old stock as it came with the 8 bit silent main board. I have added strong Z axis support arms which stiffened the bed considerably. I really want to add a second Z axis and individually controlled motor. I think to give me the most flexible upgrade path I will need to change the main board. I am considering two eight channel boards, the Spider and the Octopus. Have you looked at the Spider? Would you go dual Z or linear rails 1st?

[@aps3000miki]

First you go for the controller upgrade. The advantage of linear rail is more long term. But if Aurora says different, listen to her.

Hi, I have an ender 3 pro model and In that I’m trying print a 3D model with abs filament but I’m not getting a good results. Problem is ABS is not sticking to bed. What I need to do?

[@AuroraTech]

The spindle mount in this video was printed by ABS on my Prusa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmaad56emMidbbc Just apply a layer of glue stick on the print surface and it will stick well. I just use $1 glue stick from walmart, you don't need to buy any special glue for 3d printer that cost you $20 or more.

How did you get your ender 5 pro to print well? Mine has been giving me issues.

[@AuroraTech]

All stock setup except adding a PEI sheet and some free 3d printed upgrades. You can check out my Ender-5 videos.

There is a reason why the Pentagon starts to believe in Aliens. I am a bit worried you are one of them. How else could you do a video like this? The supernatural is closing in. From me you get 10/10 for research, 10/10 for detail. 10/10 for presentation and 10/10 for motivation. I do have an Ender 5 pro with a direct OMG extruder and it prints so nice... now you made me want to upgrade. Most important, you made me feel "I can".

[@lynntatro7374]

This design will allow the Ender 5 core x y to be placed in a heated box so that one could perform high temperature printing (eg. ABS or something with a higher melting point).

[@aps3000miki]

after changing to direct extruder and different hot-end. But those are easy changes.

[@stephan.scharf]

Unbelievable ... you are not real, maybe the first extraterrestrial person. Great project. Trouble shooting in future times can be a bit more complicate for core xy.
