Creality Ender 5 S1 Review, Setup Guide and Comparison With Original Creality Ender 5!

In this video I will walk you through the set up of the Creality Ender 5 S1 and show you what to look for during the assembly of this printer. We will investigate the common errors of 3D printer assembly and some simple considerations for the construction of this machine and 3D printers in general.

I hope to provide you with insight into what is involved with putting this printer together if you are considering purchasing this machine please consider supporting the sponsor of this video, PERGEAR:

As they provided me with this machine for the making of this video this wouldn't be possible without them and I would like to sincerely thank them for sending me this printer.

If you have already purchased this printer, I hope this video provides you with the details required to achieve beautiful prints in a short period of time.

Here is my listing for the double sided PEI flex plate on my website. Be sure to have a look around and see if there is anything else you like as it would help support my work:

Overall I was very pleased with this machine over the several weeks I was able to spend with it. I really put it through its paces as I slotted into my production environment and ran it almost 24/7

The repeatability and reliability of this printer really impressed me and I would be comfortable recommending it to both beginner and advanced 3D printing enthusiasts.

I would also recommend this printer to anyone looking for a "out-of-the-box" solution for general use. You can be up and running in next to no time with this guide and my slicing profile.

I lined up the Ender 5 S1, the Flashforge Adventurer 4, and the Prusa i3... after a week of heavy research and after watching this video, I decided that the Ender 5 S1 will be the first 3d printer that I own - I actually ordered it while the last few minutes of this video were playing in the background. Thank's for the complete breakdown and honest review.

[jahkneefive]

This video was exactly what I needed to get up and running with confidence. Appreciated the step by steps and tips throughout the video

[Temporal-Anomaly]

Two thumbs up! You are incredibly articulate and precise with your comments. Thank you for posting

I just received my new Ender 5 S1. Came across this video after building my printer and loved the way you demonstrated how to get started, especially leveling the bed. I watched several other videos before I reached yours and they weren't nearly as good in the startup and first print demonstration. THANK YOU!!! I ordered my printer directly from Creality along with the Sonic Pad. Haven't installed the pad yet but I'm excited to do that next. I'll check your channel to see if you've covered the Sonic Pad setup. Considering buying the PEI plate from your website.

[johnson]

Thanks! This video helped me get started very quickly!!

I flashed Klipper on the 5 S1, and was able to get rid of the stringing. I don't know why I (we) had such a hard time with the stringing using the original firmware. Have it very reliably running at 120 with great results. Nice Review!

[PvmElegance]

Fair play, engaged I feel. Thanks for sharing slicer config. Big help to someone new at this.

[foardhook]

I've watch a ton of videos about this machine but for me this gave me the information I wanted. You showed plenty of finished prints in good close up and that's what I wanted to see. The prints look good. The Info about the print plate was excellent and I will order that at the same time. I have been tossing up between this and the Bambu Lab X1C but for me in NZ its about $1000.00 less for this and the prints look kinda the same. Good video. Thanks.

[chinglee]

Thank you for the review. The printer is on sale from my local MicroCenter. I an old Ender 3 V2. Looks like it’s time to upgrade!!

[willlopez]

Great video! i used this to set up my Ender 5 s1 very helpful. Will there be a sonic pad video on CE5 s1??

[jespero]

Hey! Thanks for the video. Im completely new to 3D printing and got this printer. Im trying to understand and setting up some profiles.
What speed do you usually print in? When doing a fine profile and just a standard one(faster)?
Print speed?
Infill speed?
outer wall speed?
support speed?
travel speed?
Also when i print the boat that comes on the memory card the filament is blank on the finished product. When i print with the standard profile in creality slicer (0, 2mm layer height) the filament gets matte.. Any idea what that can be to cause this?

[Thev]

Great video, Cool Channel...I love my Ender 5Pro+ ;-p

[jeffdevries-vehv]

Have you done much with TPU? If so, how does it handle it and what kind of speed do you print with it?

[travis.nguyen]

Thank you so much for making this video it’s the best😂. I almost smash mine with a bat and throw it away haha

[dmax]

I would love a comparison between this and the Ender 7-post modding. I'm really curious about your opinions on the Ender 5S1 cantilever. The only thing I feel like this printer doesn't have is dual z axis, although I don't own one and can't speak to whether it is necessary.

[dspamers]

Which firmware version are you running? Have you had issues with ABL going AWOL? Mine went from one print being perfect to the next print being off-level and unable to revel. Even manual relevel only works for that print, the next one it's off again, ABL throws everything out, almost like the z-offset is different on the left and right sides of the bed.

[nolanmanley]

Lowering the retraction speed around 25 or 30mm/s with .8 to 1mm retraction will likely fix the whisping.

[gcmehojah]

What is the name of that pencil screwdriver you used in this video and where can I pick one up?

[sowerchaos]

Hey this may be a dumb question, but I just got the 3d printer, I heated the nozzle but the filament refuses to feed, I even cut it and did the usual poking around for the right angle, even tried using the thin metal needle and nothing goes down

[arfifteen]

This vs Sovol SV06 plus. Which one is better?
Thanks in advance!
