Official Creality 3D Printer Ender-5 S1 250mm/s High-Speed 3D Printers with 300 High-Temp Nozzle Direct Drive Extruder, CR Touch Auto Leveling, Stable Cube Frame High Precision,8.66X8.66X11.02 inch

It's a vast improvement over the Ender-3, which I've had for several years. Automatic bed leveling and runout sensor are standard. EXTREMELY stable build plate makes prints consistent and manual bed leveling much more reliable.Assembly was easy, taking about an hour. You may watch some reviews that say the build plate is smaller, and that every time it "homes" the plate moves all the way to the bottom and back up taking well over a minute -- NONE of this is true with the current model. The build plate is the same size as the one on the Ender-3, but it is much better. The supplied build surface is magnetic and flexible, and has incredible adhesion.The nozzle is longer than the one with the Ender-3, so any spares you had for your Ender-3 can go with that unit when you give it away or sell it. Any spare build plate surfaces should go as well, because the build plate on the Ender-5 S1 has two notches you need on one side of the plate.There is one issue that you should address: the UI doesn't allow you to change into directories on the SD card. On the Ender-3, you can select the directory, click the button, and get a list of the files in the directory to choose from. On this version, the Ender-5 S1 firmware (I have installed the latest 1.0.7) won't let you enter directories or sub-directories. I'd recommend that Creality add this to the list of firmware enhancements to make.

UPDATE: May 4, 2023: At this point the E07 error makes the printer unusable and the printer has been broken more than half the time I've had it. They sent me a replacement cable but I opened it up and there is glue all over the connectors and board... the effort and risk of further damage to replace it is far more than I'm willing to sign up for.They said they would "try to figure something out" but went radio silent a week ago. I even bought the enclosure for it so I'm out $$$ and need to get some printing done... think I am screwed and will have to buy something else.*****(The printer itself is a great combination of capabilities and hardware. The prints come out great once you resolve the other things.1. E07: This is an annoying error and seems to happen if you let the printer sit mid-print (filament out/change). Then when it resumes it has some thermal control failure and you get this error for a while... need to power cycle a few times until it is happy. Reseating cables did nothing for me. I am hoping it is just a firmware bug that they will resolve... like the timeout to warmup is too short. BTW If I'm right there for the filament change, I never get the error.2. Software: Both the Creality Slicers are junk and, sadly, don't ship with a profile for this printer and even adding one off people's research doesn't help. I almost sent it back just for this reason. Fortunately, a friend pointed out the PrusaSlicer alpha now has a profile for the Ender5 S1... it works MUCH better than anything else.3. Support: This is awful... they have the worst support of any vendor. The online chat doesn't work, they have an international phone number, and [if they get back to you at all] the email support takes a week to get a response... and the one time I got a response it had nothing to do with the issue I asked about (the E07 error).For <$600, it is fantastic if you don't mind community support. I suspect that in the next year the open source firmware options will grow and I can use that if the company doesn't step up.There are lots of nice options for it. I already got the side enclosure panels for it and a smooth-built plate.

I’ve had an older model Ender on my Amazon list for a long time I received the alert there was a sale on this printer. I looked and it really wasn’t that great of a deal for the model on my list. That evening I was looking and saw many Creality printers were on sale so I researched quickly and decided if I was going to get my first printer I should get this latest model so I don’t have to upgrade things right away. I had just over three minutes to decide before the sale ended Friday evening so I bit the bullet. It was very easy to assemble, the touch screen is nice and I had the test prints done in no time. The pc buildplate worked ok for the first several prints and I had ordered a PEI plate the same day after doing some research. The pc buildplate wasn’t very reliable, I had pla stick which I can’t get off yet the other side the pla won’t stick now. Yes it’s level the temp is correct so I decided to try the PEI plate I had. Wow! This made things so much better! Prints stick great and release so clean and easy. All my prints finish much faster than the slicer said they would I would buy this printer again today albeit only a week later!The printer works great and is fast and quiet the buildplate is a consumable item and plan on this ifYou didn’t already know like myself. Save yourself headaches with any printer you buy and plan on getting a different buildplate right away.

I loved this printer for the few prints I could get from it. Yes, few. Yes, 5 stars.This will likely not be approved, or deleted, but I'm trying anyways. This printer worked perfectly from day 1, until the day I tried filament from an assortment box. The box was open when I got it but seemed fine, so I tried 1 print.1It clogged the machine so badly it nearly set it on fire. About 10 minutes before I had to leave, I smelled a burning smell. When I followed it to the print room, I saw smoke coming from the hotend. I killed the power to it and tried for a resolution. I bought PLA filament, but the boxes were full of PETG. I even sent photos for proof. Amazon's reps couldn't understand the problem, and at the end I couldn't get anywhere with them until the return window expired. I escalated as high as possible, spoke with supervisors/managers, etc..... I'm stuck with a dead $540 printerI highly suggest getting one of these direct from the manufacturer. Their customer service is very good.

es bastante sencillos comenzar a imprimir si eres principiante y ademas deja buenos acabados. Por otro lado cuando va a altas velocidades como 200 mm/s se mueve bastante la maquina(velocidades alcanzadas gracias al sonicpad). En general bastante buena para comenzar, aunque deben revisar excéntricas y correas ya que vienen flojas

Llego antes de la fecha de engrega, es la primera impresora que compro y apenas voy iniciando en las impresiones 3d.Es facil de armar y de ajustar.Por el momento no me a fallado.

Paso el tiempo y la impresora empezó a fallar, no la recomiendo. Es muy buena pero se despone mas que una ender 3

No le doy las 5 estrellas porque le falta detalle en el manual, aunque tiene una versión digital, no se encuentra actualizada, además leFalta control de calidad, una de las conexiones debía venir como X y traía el identificador de Y. Es un detalle que me hizo buscar más información para confirmar la conexión correcta .
