This thing is amazing (updated)

Updated, back to 5 stars. Initially this thing was awesome. Then I discovered my bed was slightly warped after the initial test print. The seller responded almost immediately and made everything right with a replacement part. My prints are coming out near perfect now. One thing I would recommend that holds true to for the Ender 3 and the 5 as well - buy the glass bed for it. No more warping issues and the bottoms of your prints will be super smooth (assuming you don't print with a raft). Bump the temp up 5-10 degrees and wait a little longer after the preheat... Assembly took a little more than an hour and that was with me doing it casually and doing a few other things at the same time. Two of the four side bolts that hold the pre-assembled top on didn't want to go in straight. The top was assembled slightly out of square. Only had to slightly loosen one of the corner bolts and re-tighten it and it went together perfectly. It comes with a 200g (1/5th of a normal) roll of filament for a test print. Here's the deal. The test-dog.gcode file on the sd card must have been sliced at .00000000000001 mm and about 3x the original size. Yes, that's an exaggeration, it was done at .15mm and I don't know how many times the original size but the base is probably 5" wide. I don't know for sure because I can't measure it because it's not done. It's just now finishing the BASE after 7.5 hours. I'm not even 100% sure that there is going to be enough filament to finish the sample print as they sliced it. What has printed so far looks amazing. No issues out of the box. My bed is perfectly flat. The one ding I'd give them is that the manual is out of date for one section and that's when attaching the bed and the wiring. The one on the SD card is also out of date. This is apparently a slightly newer version of the printer as the bed no long attaches with just four screws. It now has two additional screws offset (and even two more unused holes if the plate on the printer frame was a little longer) for more support. This is not pictured in the manual and the screw counts are wrong. As for the wiring it's really easy as each wire has a little cuff that indicates what it's for. They are all color coded and different *except* for the two thermistors - they're both black/white wires with the same plug. However, they are labeled on the harness and it's easy to tell which is which so it's near impossible to get them backward unless you just aren't paying attention. There is a Ender 5 profile on the SD card for Cura if you you that. You can copy the json file into the cura definitions folder and it'll be there to select when you start cura. On windows that's in C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.6\resources\definitions if you use the default location and version 3.6. I haven't done anything beyond that since I think this print won't finish until sometime in the year 2052. :) This is my first 3D printer and I love it so far. Update: There was a bit less than half the filament left after the test print from the SD card. That test-dog print took 11 hours 22 minutes. The manufacturer, in the future, might want to leave out the base which took almost seven and a half hours alone.

This is a great printer. Highly Recommend.

We have been running this printer almost everyday since buying it. That's about 20 days. Many of the printed items took 4 hours to 14 hours due to the size. It had shown outstanding performance. We decided to go with this larger printer and we are glad we did. The density of the item can be adjusted from almost hollow to completely filled. It does take a while to put it together. I advise to do as we did. Use a table that is stable and very level. Level the table if necessary. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! Lightly tighten the screws for the frame until all the screws are in. Then snug them up a little Continuously check the level. Once the printer is fully built and it is level, THEN fully tighten all the screws and retighten all of the other screws. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone.

Will be a returning Customer to Comgrow. Perfect Support. Perfect Printer

I rarely make reviews. Customer Support and a Fantastic product (when it works) is important. Receiving a defective product is annoying. But when you have a company who backs it to working condition its worth it. My first experience with 3D printing was on the Makerbot replicator+ in my school lab. My first print was a small bit underwhelming experience. It was novel though. I held off on researching a 3d printer due to the time consuming process slicing and decimating my models in Zbrush. The Bad: Out of the box, I had trouble getting this to print. BAD. I had a 'return' trigger finger so I was itching. But after doing a #1 ('Auto Home'), then a #2 (printing the Dog on the SD card), roughly 2 hours later...bam. A wonderful looking printed dog. Pleased is an understatement. I never got this kind of quality from the Makerbot at school. (Perhaps I have to consider that printer was used many times?) Nonetheless.. perfect 3d printed dog at 1/4 the price. Then BAD, I would get random restarts...sometimes I would get a print..other times no. I contacted Amazon and Comgrow customer support, and they sent me a motherboard very fast. But no luck. I Grew Frustrated. I figured it had to be the battery, so I was going to leave this product 2/5 stars (the extra star for the support) and just purchase some parts...but saved by the bell..Comgrow sent me a new battery. Shipping was also fast. I swapped the battery, and now everything worked. The (VERY) good: The print quality is OUTSTANDING. I have no problems with the printer (so far) and I have printed many items and a few figurine parts. Comgrow shipped replacement units FAST. Comgrow+Amazon Support = 5/5 stars. Outstanding. If you have problems, notify Amazon. If it cannot be resolved, they will refer you to Comgrow who is just as good. The printer quality is excellent. The build quality is sturdy. The Adhesion (with my Hatchbox and the creality Sample PLA) is perfect. The Magnetic bed is very useful. Advice to You: Learn more about your printer. This is a DIY setup, and when you tinker around, you will be glad you purchased this. Head to youtube, type Ender 5, and find 'Nexi Tech', 'Tomb of 3d printed horrors' and 'Teaching tech' (a bit more advanced). Advice to Comgrow: Quality Control. If you can do this...you get 6/5 stars. If Creality can develop a THOROUGHLY tested DLP printer, I will buy theirs in a heartbeat. I am searching for one.

Great versatile machine.

This is my second Creality machine, i purchased an ender 3 prior through Comgrow. I ordered my Ender 5 through Comgrow because I could tell from my ender 3 that they have great quality control on their parts. I was able to set each machine up quickly and enjoy printing without any real hassle. The Ender 5 is an amazing printer, I urge you to really do your research on the company you order your machines from, I've ordered printers from other distributors and have had nightmares with the quality of the parts, sometimes downright dangerous. Sometimes distributors aren't to blame as much as the shipping process, regardless of the factors at hand Comgrow stands by the products they sell. I had a small issue with my bed being warped, I emailed comgrow and within a few hours got a super kind response, asked for a couple pictures, I sent them and without further question or hassle resolved my issue! That's right, they responded AND solved my issue. The price Comgrow sells their items at is a little more than other random distributors you can browse around through, but it's worth every penny spent knowing you have good quality stuff. Now the good stuff: This printer is made of all aluminum 2020 and 2040 profiles. 24v power supply and mainboard are tucked away in a black box at the base featuring front facing SD card and USB access. The LCD has a feature to run a bed leveling wizard that plots your tool on 5 points for leveling, leveling knobs are smooth to turn, be sure when leveling not to tug at all on the knobs to get an accurate level. Linear rods on Z axis are 12mm thick, super sturdy but the cantilever design of the bed is still kind of wonky, theres a pair of arms you can print to upgrade the instability of the cantilever (diving board) design. The y axis features a unique dual shaft stepper motor ensuring both belts move in precise unison. The top of the machine is essentially a small CNC machine you can remove your extruder in the future if you're savvy and add a laser to expand your machine to other uses. Like laser lithopanes. It is truly a great machine to invest in that will grow more uses through time. The build volume is generous as well, I've printed the max height of 300mm no problem.

Great Little Printer

The Creality Ender-5 3D printer is a great little bargain. This is my first 3D printer and I have had nothing but success with it. I highly recommend this printer to anyone who is wanting to buy a budget printer to get started in the 3D printing world. There is a pretty steep learning curve to getting going with one of these things but YouTube is your best friend in this regard. Learn and learn and then get printing. I have attached a picture of the Eiffel Tower print I did with this machine. Trust me, this is a very difficult print that is very detailed. The Ender-5 did an awesome job printing it. I would highly recommend this printer and the seller Comgrow for the following reason. I did initially have a problem with my printer when I first got it. It would stop in the middle of a build for no apparent reason. The printer would not respond to any panel input so the build would be lost. I contacted customer service (Cathy) at Comgrow where I bought this printer and she responded to me within a couple of hours. She wanted to see a couple of videos showing the problem. After providing some video evidence of the problem she immediately sent me a new control board and lcd panel. The parts arrived to me here in the United States in 3 days directly from China. Very, very fast shipping! The problem seems to have been cured and I am a happy printer again. A big thanks to Comgrow, and Cathy, for excellent customer service. They WILL take care of you!

Incredible!

I don't have a lot of experience with 3D printers. I have done a lot of research and decided to purchase a larger non-branded printer that turned out to be terrible. I couldn't keep the bed level, the z-axis kept getting misaligned, and it just lacked the overall features and quality that I expected in a machine. I returned it, and did some more digging and decided that the Ender was worth a try. I've had it for 24 hours, and the results are phenomenal. I experienced some slight issues as I was setting it up for a first print. As I was heating the extruder and bed, the machine would suddenly reset. I found that the voltage switch on the back was set to 230v instead to 115v. As soon as I switched it, my problem went away. Unlike my previous machine, this was a breeze to get level. I like how the z-axis is zeroed at the top of the gantry. It makes it very easy to access the knobs to level the bed. Another problem I had with my other machine was adhesion. It was a glass bed that required glue and it was always a mess. After getting the machine level, it printed beautifully on the magnetic board and had no problem going at 100% speed. I started out in the big leagues with the preassembled secret heart box on Thingiverse by emmet. It completed in about 90 minutes, and had only one flaw with the top 5 layers. The rest of it was perfect. The hinges were free and my daughter loves it. I then went through the "Benchy" boat and it printed in 80 minutes at full speed and was practically flawless. We have a new maker space at work that has a couple TAZ 6 $2500 printers. I tried printing one of my designs and decided to give up after 4 failures. I printed the design today on my Ender and it printed perfectly the first time. This thing is amazing. I connected it to one of my Raspberry Pis with OctoPrint installed, and now I can print wirelessly and keep tabs on printing progress on my phone. I have yet to make any adjustments to my Cura Ender 5 profile--it prints perfectly as is. After my previous purchase, I was very frustrated and ready to give up 3D printing for good. Now, I really enjoy what I can do with this Ender 5. I would recommend this printer to ANYONE. So worth the $345.

Excellent printed for a great price!!

This is a very solid, well-built printer, and I am very happy with my purchase! It took a little bit to figure out that for some reason the SD Card port on my unit is upside-down. I’m not sure if this is normal but it’s not a big deal now that I’ve figure out how to get it read the SD card. Unfortunately the card that came with the printer became corrupted after a few prints, but they’re cheap these days so it wasn’t an issue to get another one. Other than that, I only had an issue when I replaced the brass nozzle with a stainless steel one I bought off Amazon. As soon as I tried printing with the new nozzle I couldn’t get any filament to come out and discovered it was all leaking into the hot end and around the threads of the nozzle even though the Bowden tube was pushed in all the way. I cleaned out the hot end and replaced the nozzle back to the original and have been able to make amazing quality prints again! I highly recommend this product but am a little leery to put any aftermarket parts on it without making sure they’re compatible first. The seller was also very helpful in addressing all my concerns with the printer and getting it working in spite of these minor issues. I would gladly do business with this seller again!

Most fun gadget purchase in a long time! Hello new hobby.

Initially, I had a rough start with this printer. I took my time and assembled it properly. Bed leveling took a little time, but I got it dialed in and started sending test prints for further tweaking. The printer began rebooting and freezing mid print. Since I am a 3d printing newb, I notified Comgrow about the issue. While I waiting on a reply, I determined that the included flash drive was failing. The gcode data would literally stop mid print because the card was failing reads. I replaced the card and all is well now. Comgrow was fast to respond as well. It's been a few weeks and I am hooked now. My family is hooked. Co workers too. The quality I am getting from my prints is amazing and it is a lot of fun. 3D printing is no longer just a curiosity for me. This will probably be a life long hobby now thanks to my Ender 5. I highly recommend this printer.

Good printer especialy at that price

Ok got this in at noon or so... and the first test print finished printing by 5 pm.. and took 3.5 hours to print.. so that is an hour and a half to assemble and get it working... I am IMPRESSED... one thing that seemed difficult was loading the filament till i read a review.. the trick here is to Press the spring in JUST enough to get the filament to go in.. the less you press the easier it is to hit the bowden tube. the one i got came with stops on all three access and they all pretty much work.. leveling the bead took a bit.. take your time and repeat all corners till you don't have to touch it. the only thing i havne't got working is a usb connection to the pc.. and that is a windows issue.. and will take a bit to setup. the included slicer software wouldn't run, but read an online post that said to use the dev software and had a link.. that works fine.. although i will probably swap to a more robust program. as a follow up i was having issues getting anything i sliced to print and stick to the bed.. anything I sliced just wouldn't stick.. anything i got sliced was fine... i turned rafts on in cura and now EVERYTHING i have tried is printing fine.. SO if you are having issues getting things to stick to the bed.. try using a raft.

The best thing I have bought in a long time.

To the simplicity of assembly it was quite easy. Took me all of 3 hours to put together. Was a fun little project to try and figure out how to import the printer into Cura. I have bought several rolls of filament for this printer because I find it to be amazing at the worksmanship that it can produce. I have been having fun for the past few months working on all different sizes and details of 3d prints. I would highly suggest buying this printer if you have the money and the time to experiment with different settings. I feel like a true maker with this little guy in my house.
