My case after a week of pulling my hair out, and going absolutely mad lol. The first layer no matter where on the build plate . Prints would either not stick or nozzle hit the build plate even after hours and hours of adjusting the z axis etc. Contacted Creality support soon told them I just got end

I had exactly the same issue with my Ender 5 Max last week. Turned out to be a hotend clog after I’d taken everything apart and investigated. Still not 100% sure on the root cause, but I notice you are using grey filament. I was using Creality grey filament (albeit Hyper PLA rather than PETG) when m

If i cannot get the Ender-5 to do more than 4 prints before a significant hardware failure, i’m not going to invest any more into it. I’ve got a new main board on the way for the current “leveling sensor chip” failure. If it fails again after this, i am done with it. As for why the Sovol SV08 Max, i

Backup feeder. This is useless to anyone with an AMS, as it already performs that function. For anyone without one, though, it should be an easy way to add spool backups, and it looks like it will integrate with the machine for easy loading/unloading of filament. If you want something to compare it

There is a Facebook group specifically for the Ender 5 max. It's not your fault. Then entire hot end (including the extruder) of this machine should be an embarrassment for Creality engineers. It has to be modified to work correctly and they seem to have zero interest or care to make the effort to f

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

CoPrint actually dialed in and installed all their sofftware and made the coding adjustments, and it bricked my touch screen. I never made ANY adjustments, so that is company programmer issue. I contacted Creality, and they said CoPrint says the Ender 5 Max is compatible but they have had many servi

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
