Ender 5 Plus Ultimate Firmware Upgrade Tutorial

[@marka429]

Perfect timing, I just dusted of the old E5+ and brought it out of retirement. I'm still using your firmware from before but it's nice to have a little refresher.

[@kerseyfabs]

Glad to hear you're getting back into it. If that's still working for you, you won't need this but it gives you some options.

[@Paulilmys]

Exactly what I needed tonight. My ender 5 stopped printing so I figured I should update the firmware. Awesome instructions! Saved me

[@kerseyfabs]

I'm glad I could help!

[@rivers_lakes3093]

So great to see a new video from you for this Ender 5plus. Does this firmware work for the V2.2.1 silent board? Thank you for all you do for the 3d printing community!

[@kerseyfabs]

Yes it does! I appreciate it.

[@kevinkgrimes]

Perfect timing I was about to try to get my ender 5 plus working again. I had a ton of issues switching to the silent board.

[@kerseyfabs]

I hope this helps! Good luck!

[@smallnuts2]

I got a new silentboard and the thermal keeps changing up and down. After a half hour it will get a thermal runaway but it's not nozzle wires. Jumps from 220, 169, 202, 223.

[@16-bitsamurai40]

Thanks so much for this video! My printer has been out of service for a little while and this seems to have fixed the problem. It kept reverting to Chinese text but now it it stays in English.

Dang, im just getting back into my E5P. Perfect timing hahaha!

[@kerseyfabs]

I hope this helps!

[@BuvarUszo]

A few years back you inspired me to upgrade my E5+. However after a while it was a mess in terms of software for no apparent reason. I used Insanity Automation's E5+ firmware update guide and it turned out to be amazing. I highly recommend it, it changes the stock screen graphics as well, and ads PID tuning. Just a food for thought for people in the comment section. Great video tho!

[@RodrikStudio]

My comment did not make it, so doing it a second time differently. I did make an updated version of DGUS reloaded for the screen. You can install latest Marlin 2.1 bugfix and get MPC for the hot-end, linear advance and more. My version of DGUS has been made the default one for ender 5 plus, so easy to find from the Marlin template for Ender 5 plus. With my reinforced ender 5 plus and micro-swiss direct drive, custom head you can find under my name on thingeverse, I print at 100 mm/sec with high quality.

[@kerseyfabs]

Hey! I was testing some of the DGUS alternatives but never found one that worked 100%, so I abandoned it. Can you link to me where yours is for testing?

[@velo555]

If I have the stock silent board what do I put down for stepper drivers?

[@RodrikStudio]

@@velo555 I did not have the silent board and the beginning, but I replaced it with the silent one. For the settings, I did put the steppers to around 0.8V to begin, then I push them to 1.2V for extrudeur, 1.0 for Y and if I remember well 0.9V for X. The goal is to make the drives hot but not warm (I would says around 40/50°C) to have the max current in them without risk. But it is needed if you want to have high speed and strong acceleration, so a reinforced Ender 5 Plus.

[@velo555]

@@RodrikStudio Sorry, I meant to ask if the silent board had different stepper drivers specified in the configuration.h file as compared to the non silent board.

[@RodrikStudio]

@@velo555 Ah sorry, they are TMC2208_STANDALONE in Marlin for the silent board

[@S.A.S.H.]

I've been wanting to resurrect my E5Pro for some time now. But I have to admit it's much more fun to just print things on my three Bambu Lab machines. I have the latest Micro Swiss NG extruder and an E3 V3 and BTT 5" display all sitting ready to install as well.

[@Coffee2clutch]

So just to be sure , this is the most updated Creality release? I just did this process and even changed my basic temp setups for preheating purposes, this has been a great help. I was one of those people that couldn't read Chinese so I had to revert back to the earlier software release.

[@kerseyfabs]

I'm happy to hear it worked for you! Creality only released one version. They never updated it. I made some updates myself.

[@keithball2903]

fantastic video and tutorial, was having so many issues, the firmware update has solved so many, one thing though the extruder does not home to the center of the bed but 3/4 to the right of the bed, can't figure out how to get it centered, please help a noob !!

Question: 1st time 3D printer owners here, so glad to have found your channel! Still working on installing it. Thank you for the BLTouch firmware! It was installed correctly. However the language keeps switching to Chinese after switching the printer off. Is there a more permanent solution to keep it in English?

Happy I could help. You have to install both of these components (screen and board) to fix the issue.

[@ScottGreene-w8r]

I purchased an ender 5 plus from my buddy. It was sitting in his closet, brand new, still in the box for about 3 or 4 years. Anyway, I set it up and ran it on the firmware that was on it. So, it was old firmware but it worked for me...Until it didn't. lol! It started dropping the bed like 100mm and then try to automatic bed level. I figured the firmware was bad and decided to change it. I added the DWIN file to the screen and that's when all hell broke loose! I tried to update the firmware using the slicer and it wasn't reading it. I am guessing after watching your video that it was not a data cable, however, it was the blue cable that came with the printer...so I don't know. Anyway, I am going to try and do it all over again and try ordering a data cable from Amazon as well as use the files you provided. By the way, When I updated the screen firmware with that DWIN file, I remember seeing all the images load. It also said end just like yours did. When I turned it off and back on, I just get this: 19 0 both in the bottom left and right corners of the screen and nothing else. It doesn't do anything. It just displays that. Any suggestions? I appreciate you and all your help!

HI I was wondering if you can give some guidance. I appreciate the video and it was perfect for the most part. I was able to follow it flawlessly. Everything seemed perfect until I started checking this manually. As i manually controlled the X,Y Z function I couldn't get it to move at all in +X at all. I restarted and tried 2 times. I tried auto leveling and this was worse as it went back then moved forward and left instead of right. I shut it down as it hit as i didn't want it to get damaged of course. Any guidance would be appreciated. Its all factory parts and software.

[@kerseyfabs]

The only thing that comes to mind is that you have to home to move right first. I would suspect you've done that though. Can you print? Does it move right during prints?

[@jeremyRWDC]

@@kerseyfabs OK so i decided to swap cables around for X & Y and it worked but of course backwards. I put back and everything is working correctly now. It will now home correctly. IDK maybe a dirty connection on one of the wires perhaps. Pretty weird. Just wanted to update incase someone else gets this weird issue. "This ended up being a loss pin in the motor connection side of the plug. Not sure how but replaced that motor and everything is perfect" Loose connections and pins are way more common than i realized with this guys.

Little background on why I am curious is the 4.2.2 board from creality is super hard to get. But the 4.2.7 board is readily available. I have two ender 5 plus printers, the first one I am running the 4.2.2 that I got a year ago. My second printer was all stock I picked up dirt cheap from a friend. Anyways I am trying to get it running like my first one on the sonic pad. It's not going as planned.

[@Petr0Balabanov]

I've just given my Ender 5 Plus a custom print head that has an E3D v6 hotend. Now that it's all wired I can't get it up to temp - setting it to go to 250C it slowly goes up to around 130C than says heating failed bla bla bla. Doing a PID tune via pronterface it again slowly goes up to around the same temperature, than the temp reading jumps over 350C and the autotune stops. I think I just need to somehow tell the printer in the firmware what it now has to deal with, I just don't know how. P. S. it's running a silent board and your firmware at the moment

[@Petr0Balabanov]

I've already figured it out. The thermistor type has to be changed to 5 in the firmware, wich corresponds to the thermistor used in the E3D v6 hotend. I wouldn't have gotten here without your video though, so thank you very much!

The low memory error is weird but shouldn't be a problem. The read error could mean a communications problem (bad USB cable?) or it could mean the flash memory on your board is bad.

Will this work on a stock printer

[@kerseyfabs]

Yes. It's designed for the stock display with the stock board or silent board.

[@stevenarkon7718]

I upgraded to the Creality Drict Drive and it says in the instructions too "On the printer controller, navigate to Control -> Motion ->Steps/mm, and adjust the Esteps/mm value to 424.9. Then navigate back to the Control menu, select Store Settings, and hit Enter to save the setting." I can't find where to set the Esteps in the firmware to set it to 424.9. Also; On another subject, what changes have you made to your /Ender5 Plus and what changes have you made in the firmware?

[@amithwijekoon2397]

I updated the firmware with your file, but now I have two issues: The nozzle temperature setting is not being set by the G-code file. I have to adjust it manually before printing. The Power Loss Recovery function is not accurate. After a power failure, there is an offset in the Y-axis. Please help me resolve these issues.

[@jacobfreudenberg5152]

so i just did the screen firmware and received all 0000 for each line and my screen didnt change. like you said i have a stock e5 plus with a silent board.

[@jacobfreudenberg5152]

i also have an issue where it will constantly revert back to Chinese

[@kerseyfabs]

That means there's something wrong with the SD card. Reformat or shrink the partition. If all else fails, try a different SD card.

@@kerseyfabs great thanks for the help guess i did it wrong the first time.

[@jacobfreudenberg5152]

@@kerseyfabs still switches to chinese after a few screen changes. is this due to the main board or the display?

The main board firmware has to match the display firmware.

I have an ender 5 plus and it printed good yesterday but know it won't home correctly. the bed goes down not up. I have a new touch prob coming in on 8/17/2024, but what do I do if it doesn't work. please help me I am afraid to download a new firmware for it. Also, I have an ender 3 pro and I thank that I used the STL card on the ender 5 plus could be that the problem. If so, how do I fix that. please help me out.

You have to create a bed mesh first by running g29.

Having an issue with an Ender 5 plus. I recently bought a 4.2.7 board. Installed it after watching so many videos and reading documents and all connections are in. flashed the screen thats all good. however plugging in the board to the pc the screen keeps flashing on and off when the usb connects to the pc, then when i turn on the main power of the printer it sits at the loading screen and the bar doesn't fill at all. also the bed gets hot for no reason at all. running the arduino doesn't connect to the printer at all however the pc sees that its using COM 4

Hi, After following your video, I successfully uploaded the screen DWIN_SET from an 8GB SD card, and removed it when it showed END. I successfully uploaded the firmware using arduino, but the screen is stuck on the flash screen with the loading bar at the bottom, not moving. Can you suggest anything to get round this. I have a stock display and a Creality v2.2 silent board. Regards, Mike

[@kerseyfabs]

Have you unplugged from the computer and turned the printer off and back on again? When you flashed the display, did it show all of the correct counts?

[@michaelwall6240]

@@kerseyfabs Hi, Yes the file count is exact match. Turned off, removed the SD card, unplugged from computer. Turned back on, thats when the frozen screen appeared

Hi, I should also mention, I followed the instructions with a different (identical) display, with the same result.

@@michaelwall6240 And you received no errors when flashing the firmware from Arduino?

[@michaelwall6240]

@@kerseyfabs Hi, Got no errors when flashing. Finally got a screen to work. Fired up the machine and when I selected Home, the X and Y centred but the bed lowered instead of raising the z to the probe. Any ideas what could be causing this. I know all of the connections are firmly in place. Could I have the 3 pin connector of the probe the wrong way round on the board? ( there are no prompts on it to identify the live, and Creality are notorious for changing the wiring colours depending what they have to hand). Regards ,Mike?

I'm so sorry to hear that. If it wasn't doing that before, nothing about this firmware should have caused it. Check your connections in case something got bumped.

HELP! I just bought an Ender5 plus (my first printer). I was getting great results then I started to get lots of errors and could not longer print. I have now followed the first part of this tutorial for the screen but the second part won't work, I keep getting this error: "avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer" The cable I'm using came with the machine. I know nothing about coding! Can anyone help??

[@atrank]

This may have worked at one time, but for me, I just wasted 2 days (in December 2024) on this and it was an absolute s-show, despite following the instructions meticulously... and now I can't even get the original OEM firmware to connect and upload to the machine. Even the instructions from Creality to upload the firmware using their slicer does not work. It does not recognize the port, even though I've checked everything and used the cable before.

[@davidwilson7079]

Hi, Will this allow you to use STL files

[@kerseyfabs]

STL files always have to be converted into Gcode. STL files are not something printers understand.

[@ex-owneroperator4592]

I just went through your process, and after 8 months, my Ender 5 Plus is closer to printing again. The only thing not working so far is the leveling and the BL Touch. When I home it, it digs the nozzle into the PEI sheet. Once I turn it off and lower the bed and go to leveling, it goes into position, lowers the bed and then just stays there. It doesn't bring the bed up so I can get a measurement and proceed. If you can help me, I'll be forever grateful.

[@kerseyfabs]

I think you're experiencing the BLTouch issue. You need to separate out the BLTouch wire and run it separately. I'm going to do a video on it.

[@ex-owneroperator4592]

I would appreciate the video very much. I’m still a novice and not electronically inclined.

Make sure you've installed both the new firmware on the board and the new display firmware. They go together.

The LCD firmware in your Google Drive reverts the LCD screen to chinese. Even after setting the language function, it continues to go back to chinese characters. Can you verify your LCD firmware, as well as the GitHUB motherboard update? The Creality LCD update is worse... btw. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@kerseyfabs]

I have verified this version myself and so have others. NOTE: You must pair the display update with the board firmware. The Chinese character set bug occurs when the two versions get out of sync. If it starts up in Chinese, you should be able to switch it back and it should stay.

[@VelvetRevolver4036]

Hey Kersey, does this improve the printing quality?

[@kerseyfabs]

No. Firmware typically won't. That's more up to good slicer settings.

I got a 4.2.2 motherboard Ender 5 Plus (silent model from what I can see). When flashing the screen firmware you linked, it boots in chinese. I'm able to switch to english, but any other option do not work. If I go in info it shows no version number at all. If I press on leveling, it switch to the leveling window, but I can't press anything (not even back). Temperature button doesn't work, print doesn't work. So I can't use this firmware. I tried reflashing it multiple time. Tried before and after flashing the mainboard firmware. I have a 8 gb microSD Card. It has the 4096mb allocation thing. It seems it's just incompatible. Do you have an upgraded display firmware for 4.2.2 version of Ender 5 plus?

[@kerseyfabs]

No. Until recently I didn't even know this new board existed. I don't have the source for it. I may have to take down this video now. Too many complaints.
