Ender Pro 5 with upgrades Includes upgraded mainboard, CR-Touch for levelling, and glass bed for improved quality and adhesion. I wont go into the specs as if your looking, you will already understand the printer.
I don’t have the room for another ender 3 due to the rear bed cables so the idea of a stationary bed was what made me decide on this.
Very easy to assemble and get going. This one was bl touch included but I think it would of been nice to have the cable installed if they are going to fit the bl touch. Had to install the cable for it myself after building it. The y axis switch was installed too lol.
Upgraded Bowden tube and extruder easily makes up for the cost of the package. Magnetic bed is a nice touch.
Silent board is a nice thing to have compared to my cr10s and ender 3 noise machines.
This printer could by now have front bed support arms instead of relying on the community to print them. The bed can flex at the front with the slightest touch so I think this should be addressed as standard.
Printer has performed well using my ender 3 cura settings although when I have the time I will explore settings.
Nozzle thermistor cable appears too short as do most the cables at the joining point but the nozzle one in particular. Would of been nice to see them a little longer and a cable trunking tied to the frame.
Even though it was listed as grade D for parts and not working, simply removing the faulty BL touch fixed it. the printer itself after the faulty part was removed worked flawlessly and has given me the best prints ive ever seen. one has to give serious credit to creality's packaging as Hermes had definitely given the poor thing quite the beating but still arrived undamaged!
If you want a cheap printer and arent afraid of tinkering with the electronics and possibly replacing a part or two this is a REALLY good deal even though its listed as grade D. one thing to note. Just as the previous reviewer had said it was quite light on instructions but thats on creality not on box deals as creality are the ones who made the thing.
