#ender5 — Public Fediverse posts

There's no way... after all the repairs, I still cannot print anything larger than a few centimeters with my #creality #ender5 #3Dprinter... part of the #brim (and of the first layer as well) refuses to #stick to the #printbed. I can level the print bed and have the four angles at the right distance from the #nozzle (in fact the first extrusion sticks perfectly) but then the center is too low. I can place a little sheet of paper under the mat at the center of the print bed and then the center is ok, but some places around are lower... It's very #frustrating, and I really don't know what to do at this point...

Replacement parts for the #creality #ender5 #3Dprinter has arrived today and I just replaced it. The #fans don't seem original to me, so I swapped only the broken one. The new one didn't come with the correct #connector, so I decided to #desolder the old wire and solder it directly to the new fan's pcb. Soldering inside the cabinet isn't very confortable 😅 but I didn't want to remove it all and my electronics bench isn't large enough anyway... Anyway, repair is done!
Let's see it I can complete a little print!

I've got A LOT of failed prints with my #creality #ender5 #3Dprinter. It #clogs very easily. I tought the #filament was wet, but a couple of hours ago it #clogged very badly and I had to completely #disassemble the #extruder, #hotend and even cut a little piece of #bowdentube... before doing all this work I looked at a video explaining how to do it and...

...I SAW it. The #fan. The f...ing extruder fan in the video was running from the moment the #printer was switched on. I have never seen mine running, I always tought it was temperature controlled or something... It was just #jammed 🤦‍♂️ Unfortunately the plastic was very tired by the heat, so a blade broke instantly while cleaning it.

It seems I have to wait for a #replacement part, but at least I found the problem. That's why the printer was SO #temperamental!
