Awesome, glad you got up and going. not the easiest assembly. My next bit of advice would be if you're using Cura. There is no profile for a Ender 5 Max. Do not take the advice I did and use an Ender 5 and change the bed size manually. I did this and the first print led to the nozzle burying itself

If you're a beginner I wouldn't recommend resin because it can be harmful to your health without proper PPE and you'll need multiple machines to dry and cure the models. Although if you're adamant on super detailed models like miniatures for Warhammer for example, resin is the way. FDM on the other

Hab einen Ender 5 Max und einen Anycubic S1, der mittlerweile weit über 2000 Stunden drauf hat. Ersterer ist eine Nischenanwendung. Blenden wir mal aus. Wobei mir der Slicer von Creality gut gefällt. Ist sehr bedienerfreundlich finde ich. Der S1... Ja. Also das war ein ewiger Kampf, bis der endlich

I currently have two Creality machines (K1 Max, Ender-5 Max). They both work well now, but they did require some modification to overcome design flaws.

That sounds more like a profile or slicer setting issue than the printer itself. The Creality Ender 5 Max is usually capable of much more balanced speeds. I’d double check wall speed and minimum layer time settings. Creality machines tend to perform really well once the profile is set correctly.

I don’t mind tinkering with my printer but it shouldn’t be a necessity. Why the heck can’t they make a decent firmware for any over their devices. I updated my 2 k1 max’s and they both just vanished from creality cloud app. And when I updated my ender 5 max that was a whole other adventure. Come on

I am a creality fan person. I have 6 of their printers. 2 HIs, 2 k2 pluses, and 2 ender 5 maxes. I enjoy their printers.

I havent ran into many issues with mine the nozzle replacement is super easy. If you have to take apart the printhead its quite fast. If you buy the combo you get multi colour printing. I love mine right now amd the support for anycubic printers is amazing. I do have some creality printers as well a

I had the same issue with Creality and an Ender 5 max…broken out of the box. Spent hours over the course of 3 weeks troubleshooting and replacing parts, some of them multiple times. Customer service was zero help. Then while filing a claim for the warranty I’d purchased with it, I learned the warran
