3 DIY Creality Ender 5 Printable Upgrades in 15 minutes or less

- These are my top 3 printable upgrades for the Creality Ender 5. These are very easy to print and install. You will need some bolts and nuts to install the stabilizer arms. You can find a bold and nut kit in the Amazon storefront below under the 3D Printer Tools section. Everything else goes on without any extra parts! I printed everything in PLA and it works great!
****UPDATE***
I put the Bed Supports on the wrong side of the bed and the struts Should be on the inside of the bed as seen in the Thingiverse Link! I missed that when I filmed it and that's my bad.

*****UPDATE****
I put the Bed Supports on the wrong side of the bed and the struts Should be on the inside of the bed as seen in the Thingiverse Link! I missed that when I filmed it and that's my bad.
At least you where big enough to admit when you make a mistake...your a good man Jim!
@@CanadianMakerProject Thanks Ron! :)
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger Jim, I put my struts on bass ackwards too! And they're still on backwards, my apologizes to the designer.
I mean.. it works both ways lol
So the one you put on the left, you put on the right and vice versa?
way you cut that zip tie hurt my soul
Same. He used flush cuts but left a jagged knife on it 😂
I want to thank you for your videos! They really helped me decide which printer I wanted to receive for my birthday. After watching your vids with my wife, your excitement and appreciation Ender 5 Pro solidified my decision. I unboxed and built it last night in about 30 mins and started printing these mods. Please add more Ender 5 Pro vids when you are able or would appreciate any recommendation on vids to watch to keep growing my new 3D skills! You rock!
At 5:18, don't tighten the bolts down until you get all four in, and then tighten them down in a star pattern to avoid accidentally snapping the support cap from the torque on the bolts
Thank you for the videos you are putting out. I have recently acquired (bought) an ender 3v2 and an ender 5 pro. Watching your videos made getting my printers up and running a breeze. The upgrades for the bed supports took some time to print, but they are so worth it. As of this comment I am printing the back cover for my ender 5 pro. Thank you again for the videos that you are doing and please keep up the great work.
awesome video... i was on the fence on what Ender to get but i think the Ender 5 Pro makes more sense for a starter as i am....definitely going to do these mods (especially to keep bed level!)
Thank you for all the Ender 5 videos! Really great to get more support and ideas on these!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!!
Looks like a SUPER Idea Jim now I only need a Ender 5 and then get rid if my Wanhao D9
Thanks, I just got my printer working today and starting to print the demo PIG that came on the SD card, But I will print what you suggested. Oh by the way, maybe you should try printing a Receptacle Outlet Wall Plate for your wall outlet.
Great Vid Jim! I used PETG when I first did mine!
Thanks!! PETG is great, but I wanted to make sure a brand new person into 3D Printing could do it and most people start with PLA as it's easier to learn on!
I love my Ender 5 Pro, but I did find it disappointing that those three things were not included from factory. The strain relief and cover for the LCD in particular. Just looks unfinished without them. After I did an initial test print in PLA I printed the "upgrades" in PETG. Super easy. It makes the printer look complete
When you put the cable support in place there is a *nice* hole in the frame. Use it to make it stay in place.
Definitely must upgrades! Good job buddy:)
Thanks for watching!
One thing you missed is the SD Card adapter housing for the Creality Ender 5 Thingiverse 3397146. that was a God_send using a regular /sd card. In the US, ACE carries singles M screws and nuts.
Great idea!
PLA is great, but over time with the heat on the underside could soften the PLA allowing that sag to happen. just a thought
Had mine for about 8 months now, running bed up to 80c at times. No impact so far and I used really cheap PLA when I made them. It seems like the heated bed is too far away from the struts to really impact them at all. The are not even slightly warm to the touch after a print. I think if you were running enclosed it would be a completely different story.
Have all of these and a few more on my Ender 5. Great printer!
Awesome!!
where did you get them from?
Very helpful! Thanks for making this video! :)
Greetings Jim, Great upgrades and as my Ender 5 Pro is in the mail I wanted to start printing the parts on my E3 V2. How are the bed supports oriented on the print bed? I'm using CURA and any additional pointers regarding the support settings in the profile would be applicated. Another great video thanks.
Doug
with the cable bed support you will need to put another tie around the frayed cable mesh, gets in the way of levelling. peace
Good video and upgrades. Do you have one for the Ender 5 and SKR 1.4 board mounting. Thank you
Extra bed struts are essential on the regular E5. Kind of sad that this printer would be totally perfect if it had a linear bearing in the front preventing sag like the E5+ has.
I was about to print the extra bed struts but I don't have any M4x20 screws or M4 nuts. Can you tell me where to get some?
@@Blobster-td4nv I bought a plastic organizer from Amazon, which contained a bunch of M3, M4, M5 nuts and bolts together.
You absolute monster! You get back there and snip that zip tie correctly right now!
You had a new subscriber with that intro music
Shouldn't you tighten all four screws on the bed support simultaneously, a little at a time, crosswise (like you would with tire lugnuts)? 😁
Any other recommended upgrades?
Huge THANK YOU
thanx! super userful
4:41 M20 bolt? Thats a meaty bolt! :D Great video though
Dude, you just created a dagger with that angle cut to the zip tie. It will not exhibit remorse when it rips your flesh.
Lol you gotta watch that! I will keep you on your toes! Haha
@@TheEdgeofTech I like your videos, keep up the good work and be careful around those zip ties.
Hey there,
great videos, thanks man!
But one Question:
I printed these arms months ago, but it takes more than 4 hours for printing one arm.
How do you print these in 15 minutes?
Kind regards
Chris
He meant they take 15 mins to put on AFTER however much time it takes to print
haha Nice! I was showing 3 printable upgrades that would take 15 minutes or less to install after they are printed. :) Thanks for watching, I hope you like the arms as much as I do!
@@TheEdgeofTech hey at one one point you said you 'scanned it in' what did you use to do this?
You need to do something about your bed dropping when you touch it.
Already on it, and may or may not have a video coming in the future! :)
hey I saw your video, but the impression of the panel back covers of my ender 5, by cura takes me 4 or more hours... why?
Do we have to scale down the supports to get them to fit on the plate or are we printing vertical?
Thanks, you're the top
Do you have the link for the bed supports? I can’t find them on Thingiverse.
When I printed the cable support, the overhang for the part that clips on the plate gets all stringy from not having any support. How do I prevent that or add support that can be cut off?
Hello, do you think that the support arms are enough to eliminate the flexibility in the base? Just using those arms is acceptable to make a good print? Because I have seen another option to add another z axis like the ender 5 plus. Thank you
I think the Ender 5 is fine the way it is actually. But I know that a lot of people would like the support, so I added them to the video! I use them on my Ender 5 machines and have had no problems at all! With that being said, some people like the project to add a second Z and it would help as well!
Where did you see this other project to add additional z axis?
@@timd9430 In thingiverse you can search for "double z axis ender 5". But I use this support and the change is very good. I printed it on PETG. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4096705
Hi jim nice baby blue pla
I love the color!
Thanks
silly question but that link for the bed supports is that to the scale for a ender 5 pro ? only new to this . l have it cura just hoping if l drop it in its to the size l need . Kind regards Scott
the file for the bed struts exceeds the print bed size when opened in Cura, any modifications we make will make it useless, why would the print file not be printable?
wow it's super good idea !! can you share this 3d file for we can download and print out?
I believe the links are in the description below! :)
oh i didn't know that, thank you so much!!
Will these work with the ender 5 pro?
Will the bed need releveling after installing the bed supports?
I would definitely re-level it just in case
That pointy bit on the zip tie tho...
Yup, should have cut it off!
@@TheEdgeofTech the pressure of filming whilst snipping!
@@simoncrabb hahahay
i want to share my experience with creality customer service. I bought a ender 5. All well but the heat bed is bent, like in so many reviews. The techisians ( if you can call them thechs) suggest that is not a problem , that i can use (imagine) 4 sheets of paper. So the bed is like 8 layers in the middle down from the rest. And the keep changing the customer service agente just to pass time and not send me a new bed and flat! There is a warranty and they are not complying!
You're stuck with it if you didn't return it already. Ender 3 Pro better buy etc.
Would be nice if someone made a video of adding extra metal support to front if bed so no sagging bed.
You can put a glass cut to size on the table.
The bed strain relief broke in half the second I tried to attach it do the bed frame.
Nice!!!
Hi, I have just bought the Creality Ender 5 Pro, does anyone know if i can use XYZ filament for this?
Will this work for the Ender 5 pro also?
Can be to endor 5 pro? thanks
Biggest crime is fully tightening one bolt at a time, instead of the cross pattern.
You want to snap/warp parts? Because that's how snap/warp parts.
I agree! That's why I always suggest doing them in pairs and front to back. Half way first on both sets, then the rest of the way. Thanks for watching!
I downloaded the arms for the bed, the L and R on the arms are reversed looking from the front correct from the back. No bigy you can't put them on wrong, I had on break at the clamp and printed the wrong one... my bad
will these upgrades work for the ender 5 plus?
Jim, the struts are designed to fit on the inside not the outside, you've got them on the wrong sides
What!! I will check that out asap. Lol
You are right! Haha I will update the Description now! I'm not sure how I missed that, but I did.
@@TheEdgeofTech Hi Jim, I don't think it would really matter, it's just my OCD :) They are a fantastic design though
@@shaunmorrissey7313 I agree! The funny part is that I have it like this on the other 2 Ender 5 printers I have and didn't realize it! Lol
So that works on all the ender 5s how do I put screen on my e5 plus
Hi i have a question do these work also on the ender 5 plus?
Were you ever able to find out if these work on the 5 plus?
Those should be test files that come with the printer
4:46 that's what she said
Ender 5 or ender 3 pro v2 what is the best print plz help me 🤔🤔🤔
Is it only between those two printers, what's your price range?
No mention of the arms reducing your usable Z height? Be careful not to extend your bed all the way down.
Pushing the strut end with bolts up (4:53) is wrong. The lower they are, the better support they provide.
Shortly, the ideal struts are vertical ones under the free end of the bed but this is impossible for obvious reasons. Increasing the strut angle getting it closer to the "ideal strut". Decreasing i.e. moving the end with bolts up does the opposite thing.
You're right. Additional guides with plain bearings should be used.
I felt myself get a cut the moment that cable tie wasn't cut flush 😬
A SAFE JOURNEY HOME FOR YOU AND YOUR GROWING FAMILY !
15 Minutes to Print these Parts? What?
The links to the parts don't work anymore.
All three worked for me just now...
3:13 what is the point in this ??
If your talking about the arms, they stabilize the bed so it doesn't drop in the front.
with any luck... the printing gods will strike you down with a blob of molten plastic forever encasing you ..... clipping zip ties like that is punishable by a thousand slashes.. FYI, those clippers will cut a zip tie nearly flush and flat..
Hahaha
🇳🇱🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪👍👍👍👍👍
cut zip ties flush!!
Am i the only one triggered af by the way he just cut that ziptie? Its a flush trim cutter ffs :(
M20 bolt. LOL, Americans just can't get the hang of metric.
