For anyone who didn't have the auto level option, you can just manually jog the x and y to the corners to level your bed. Prepare -> Move Axis -> X Axis: Use the knob to jog to each corner etc.
Omg, thank you so much!!!!
Thanks 🙏 😊
Legend 👌
or go to this guy, this works brilliantly and is noob proof! th-cam.com/video/zfTm0SqIFm4/w-d-xo.html
I just got a new Ender 5 and the menu setup is different. It doesn't have Bed Auto Leveling under prepare, so I don't know what to do.
I just got an Ender 5 Pro for my son similar to the one that our robotics team has. We have been EXTREMELY frustrated with the lack of instructions that it came with. Putting the frame together was easy to follow and quick, but after that it was a nightmare (the software part was also easy, no issues). The black and white instruction manual was blurry and of no help in connecting the cables and in which way to route them. We had to connect, disconnect, reconnect, and repeat this over and over several times. Luckily, I have a nice supply of zip ties. (Side Note: We have been picking the brains of several mentors from the robotics team, but we limit our questions as they are busy) The instructions on how to level the bed were very basic, VERY! It did not explain the direction of the adjusters or bed leveling past the paper spacing. We did not know about the end stop contact piece (this is going to be a game changer). We are still having issues with getting a good flow and print. Most of the projects that we have done have gaps and looks like mudding drywall, almost like it is down too far. But we have tried adjusting in several directions multiple times and have had no success. After watching your video, I wish I had tried to find videos earlier. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!! You have very simple and clear instructions with great visuals. This gives us a little more hope in getting a better print. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for doing this, as a noob to 3d printing with an ender5 pro watching this was very helpful. Also thanks for the consideration you put into your work and this video. Little things like noticing that the viewer wouldn't see when you do something offscreen is great. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you for this easy to follow quick start guide!
Absolutely brilliant video, clear and precise. Will have to wait till Christmas till I get my printer, but will refer back to this video for sure .
Thank you so much for this video, all the others do not explain the wiring of the 3D printer like you did, you are a life saver.
Thank you SO MUCH! My heating was all screwy and didn't work but with this it is now printing! Thank you
Thanks for the video. Will be putting mine together this week end. This will help.
Thanx For Your Awesome Review and Build Instructions I Bought The Ender 5.. EZ Build !!
Tried another video to get started, but it was lacking some details. I should have known to come here first! Great video, very helpful. Thank you!!!
Perfect starting Tutorial!!! Thx
To get all 4 wheels of Y axis gripping the rail, loosen the two screws that hold the wheel bracket to the X axis rail. This will allow you to adjust the two inner eccentric nuts to get a firm grip on all four wheels. When that's done, you can adjust the wheels on the other Y axis. Then go back and tighten the two screws on the first wheel bracket on the X axis.
Thank you. This was great!
Many thanks for this wonderful tutorial. It has been extremely helpful to me as I am a complete newb. I would like to take this opportunity to apologies for the few negative comments by ungraceful assholes in the below comments. You have put a lot of time and effort into this video and I am sure 95% of the recipients are most grateful.
+1👍 thank you for this vid (and others as well), excited to receive my hardware
Exactly what I was looking for! My Ender 5 is in the post, and I have never owned a 3d printer, this has taken the edge off the unknown :-) A big thanks.
I am buying the ender 5 as my first 3d printer, as it was your first , how was it?
That was a great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you! It was a really good video to start 3D printing! :D
this is great! I used it to setup my Ender 5. Thanks. A question though - how do you keep the cable layout clean? At 13:14 marker in the video cable layout looks clean. Is that something different used for layout or just the supplied zip ties?
I didn’t no how to calibrate it. This was sooo helpful
Built my ender 5 on Twitch stream earlier and this tutorial really helped where the provided literature was lacking. Thank you so much
I have just bought an Ender 5 pro, this is my first 3D printer and I assembled it as per the instructions and took advice from the many videos on you tube but I was still having problems with my prints, layers were being missed, details were not being printed at all and I was getting really bad adhesion to the bed and the extruder was clicking. I tried many work throughs including removing the filament and retrying but could not seem to solve the problems, I was using the filament supplied with my printer. I changed my filament because of a colour preference and all my problems were resolved, I am getting much better prints now. I now love my Ender 5 although I was on the verge of sending it back. So don’t think that the problems are something that you have done or haven’t done it could be just that the filament supplied with your machine is a far inferior quality. Enjoy!
Does the ender pro use the same setup as this video?
@@jf6720 yes, just a different extruder and vertical screws on top of vertical rails, not just sides
I would definitely make note to make sure the base assembly and the top assembly is square. Both of mine were not.
One thing that every video kinda misses is that the leveling knobs work correctly when viewed from above, where you are... "Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey".
Hi. First of all I want to say thanks for your great and learning videos. I'm very new to this and has just bought and assembled my ender 5 pro. Is it exactly as a ender 5 for those things you explain in this video? I especially think about calibration such as leveling the surface?
*Thank You*
Thanks for sharing the build of this interesting printer :-)
Great tutorial. Why can't everyone on TH-cam make tutorials like this. Make sure you create playlists though. Your stuff is very professional but you want to make sure it's organized as well. It's much more user friendly if we are able to go to the playlist and choose videos based off of reviews, quick start guides, build guides, etc. Good luck and keep up the great work.
Thanks pal👍
Great video.
Too bad I didn't realize the "stop pin" wasn't high enough the way it was delivered so it went into the bed doing the auto home. Not a big deal I guess but still very annoying to have a hole in the bed of my brandnew 3D printer.
Also did this.
I saw the setup book saying to auto-home without adjusting the stop and was like "Nope, not doing that!"
Great video! Got me up and running in no time
Is there a updated (if needed) of this video or one this well put together. I'm watching this 07/25/20. My Ender 5 Pro showed up today and is sitting in the box till I watch this or another suggested video about 50x..lol
🇺🇸❤🍺✌🏼
I purchased an Ender 5 roughtly a month ago and I love it. I've needed a gluestick to make sure the success rate of prints have been high but asside from that this machine has worked like a dream!
This is for sure a great printer and it has lots of options for modding if so desired ^^
You can also use hairspray that helpa
Helps
Has the bed auto leveling feature been removed?
I noticed that mine used 4 - 5x30 to attach the side assembly. Also, the bed now contains 6 screws instead of 4.
I bought one from you guys no auto leveling and no filament auto feeder like advertised
My Ender 5 doesn't have the bed leveling option in the menu. Any suggestions?
did you ever figure this out?
@@ahlgrenator I have the same issue.
Mine either. Instructions say to disengage steppers then manually move the head. Probably faster
Same
@@korbenjohnson8649 Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Mine has an option for just turning off X and Y steppers. which seems to work well as the Z axis wont move and mess up the leveling. I dunno man, i spent WAY too long toying with the leveling.
As a day 1 owner, this was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Like and sub from me.
My Ender 5 came with the Creality Slicer 1.2.3 -is that roughly the Ultimaker Cura software shown in the video?
Thx believe ut or not but i got stuck with the t nuts the spinibg trick worked for me thx
For some reason, my new ender 5 doesnt have the "bed auto leveling" option on the menu. I think i got a newer / upgraded version of the ender 5 right, but my older ender 5's menu looks exactly like yours. Does anyone have a solution?
PS Ender 5 has been added to Cura, I just discovered.
Jason, the build volume of the Ender 5 is 220 x 220 x 300, not 250
You are absolutely right. Late night blunder, for sure. We will update the description to correct this
i agree
hey that driver {cura) is necessary for my ender 5 pro?? I can not find slicers in the official page, I only found filmwares or updates in hotend....
No Auto Bed Leveling feature on ender 5 pro.
Great Video. There is a ".json' file. on the Creality site. for the Ender-5; and you can just add that to the Cura Config files .. I love my Ender-5. It is awesome.
Great point. Other than the build volume, the hotend carriage dimensions are the same as the cr-10 and ender 3 so you can use either of those with no consequence. I'd be curious to look at exactly what the differences are. Maybe that have different end gcode to lower the bed fully when finished printing.
Any new updates.
I wish you had showed from after inserting the sd card. How to...
i cant figure out my leveling, its super confusing since theres no auto level option on my ender 5, i ended up scuffing the shit out of my magnet bed, and bed so i bought a new one a glass tempered bed and a bl auto leveler
is the home location the same as the bed level location? if not then how the hell do ppl level the bed if they have no level bed in the menu?
Download gcode from here, put it on sd card, and select the gcode in the "print from tf" menu. It does the same thing.
I had the same problem but after looking into it I found this.
www.thingiverse.com/thing:2969712
My Ender 5 doesnt have bed leveling option. Also the middle is not the same height than at the screws...
How do you program a shape you want?
Is there a reason i dont have the bed auto leveling option?
You just plugged it in and start printing. Once the card is inserted what's the process to start the print loaded to it? Or to choose your print??
There's an option on the display that says "print from tf" or something like that. Choose that option and select the file on the display you want to print. The printer will then begin printing.
any time i go to change the bed and nozzle temperature the screen blacks out and resets me and doesnt save the temperature settings
There is no Auto Bed Level option in new firmware, what should I do
hi is this the 5 diy kit?
Does the Ender 5 Pro not have bed auto leveling....
Do you have to pre heat before bed leveling
Absolutely. The bed changes shape as it heats.
Never thought of that, good call
Is this the same for ender 5 pro?
how to use the power switch?
If I mess up the wires how take it apart
Cant auto home.
The X axe goes to the right and a loud noise is coming, then an error: cant auto home, please reset...
Someone know how to fix it?
Cables are all fine
Thousandth view!
My prints keep sliding around, any advice?
My printer doesn't have bed auto leveling as an option, am I screwed? Lol
same
can someone recommend what ver. of firmware is best for Ender 5 pro ? after first time when I switched on mine I got error "TMC Connecetion Error" I had to to update the firmware to resolve this but there is so many software version available with so many different bugs in it that I got confused. For example
after one version, after uploading, the printer started to make a strange noises . I'm upgrading firmware via sdcard with bin file
I also bought this printer and got the error code Tmc, did u resolve it ?
yes I did, I think I used this one - Ender-5 Pro- Marlin2.0.1 - V1.0.1 - Endstop
It’s odd but my ender 5 pro doesn’t have the auto leveling option
Why dont i have bed Auto leveling on my ender 5 i just got it today and it doesnt have Bed auto leveling after i press prepare
The Ender 5 does not come with auto bed leveling as a standard. You need to add it.
@@3DPrintingCanada how
Perhaps he's being not clear here. The menu on a new stock ender 5 does not ship with the bed auto levelling menu option under prepare. Every youtube video regarding new ender 5 setup is outofdate.
Mine doesnt have the autoleveling option.
err max temp bed: printer halted :(
why should i do?
Hey... had the same problem. Check that the 2 white cable connectors are not switched. The printer will confuse the temperatures of the nozzle and bed. Luckily they are labelled. Hope that helps!
DuDeMBR thanks dude its working now!
I have an ender 5 pro. Screen is showing TMC connection error. What’s that? And how to fix it?
I had the same problem, I updated the firmware which helped but I lost many options from the printer menu :( how did you fix it ?
i got an ender 5 not the pro and mine doesnt have the auto level function either. Thats ok though i moved the motors manually which isnt hard if its off.
If you disable steppers you can move it while the machine is on
Why does he keep saying "Zed" in North America?
"Better to play it safe than Sorey"
Oooooh.
Great video. Can't wait for my printer to be delivered!
Canada is also a part of North America.
@@thatryanguy right. I forgot Canadians say zed.
There are 6 screws for the heated head, at least mine did.
Mine just kept dragging the filament
So turns out my "fan 1" and "fan 2" wires have been labelled as "Fun 1" . Honestly had me wondering what was so fun about wiring until he called them fan wires haha
it helps
Anyone here have ender 5 pro? Just got one and theres no auto bed leveling option
Edit: I found a gcode file on thingiverse that does the same thing. Just download the gcode, load it to the sd card, and select "print from tf" to start it.
www.thingiverse.com/thing:2969712
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation to me.
Thank you for the update and the solution :)
Pro Tip: DO NOT TURN THE TEMPERATURE UP UNTIL YOU LEVEL THE BED.... messed up my magnetic bed thanks to that.
wtf I don't have the bed auto leveling thing
I got heating failed, printer halted
Make sure there is no air conditioning that could stop it from heating
My heat plate came with a clear yellow tape holding the wiring in place to the solder point. It seems blatantly obvious that it should be removed, but nothing says so, and nobody shows it. Did you encounter this??? Signed- I don't trust the obvious.
kapton tape is an insulator, don't remove it
Thought the Ender 5 BV was 220X220X300
It is. There was a mistake in the video...
@@hc-ilflnjma Actually, I found out that the E5 is 235X235X300
Hi
Hello!
Велике тобі дякую за відео. але в моєму принтері інше меню ніж в тебе.
lol no Auto bed Leveling
Trust me, it doesn't need auto bed leveling.
@@BenEBrady abl is a crutch for warped beds or for lazy people. Lol. Jk
@@Jason-yn6oy go ahead and tell that to Tim Hoogland... He's making money hand over fist selling his EZABL probe to people who are ignorant and/or lazy.
@@BenEBrady I won't comment on that...we sell bltouch as well. There are some cases where your bed is dished/warped and you either need to completely swap it or use abl to utilize the whole build surface. I have them on about half of my printers, only because I fall into the lazy category. They are absolutely not required, and I hate seeing people overpay for an abl that isn't even going to address the issue they're dealing with in many cases.
@@Jason-yn6oy I really don't understand what you mean by Auto Bed Leveling. To actually level the bed you have to physically rotate the knobs to MOVE the bed. A BL touch CAN'T move the bed. So what am i missing here?
Those hammer nuts are a pain in the dick
Wth is zed?
Its the letter after 'why', and before that 'ex'
@@terryashton1972 o, so “Z”. Or zee. Not zed. Wth is zed. Smh.
You’ve already downloaded it so go to the download folder and find the download that you never told us to actually download…?
Mark Burrs What would I be thanking you for the video wasn’t helpful to me… oh I get it, you put something on TH-cam and you just expect praise because your generation is apparently entitled to it...
@@teddysurf what a sour attitude. I wonder why you can't find help on the internet, of all places.
Kaitlyn D Awwwwww, thanks for your input it’s nice to know you care!
You dont tell us what to do after inserting sd card, not a complete guide
hi. i now have the toy porinter easy thrreed x1 an 90 eurio printer and it works sort of. i made addded a heated bedbut i hate the leveling anfd the 10x10 cmis way too small. since i havve the heated bed i never loose my prints anymore but is just not very precise so trying to vut a bigger paet in 2 print the parts never fit afterward and ater a jear i finnally ordered an ender 5. i have not got it. right now searching for the stl odf the heated bed cable tension realeave. ay links/? also i assumed when i got a supported printer i could st the nozzole temps and heated bed temps viua cura now i see you do it manually that worries me the heated bed i have i made a pwm ctroller using an ardiono clone and i have to manually start it before every print. and i read cooments people still needglue stixcks while the bed only moves up and down, is it really that bad?
