Review on Enhanced Extruder Upgrade πŸš€ by Creality with Capricorn Tubing by Wayne Drakh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great versatile machine.

This is my second Creality, I have previously purchased an Ender 3 through Comgrow. I ordered my Ender 5 through Comgrow because I could tell from my Ender 3 that they have excellent quality control of their parts. I was able to set up each machine quickly and enjoy printing without too much hassle. The Ender 5 is an amazing printer. I encourage you to carefully research the company you are ordering your machines from. I have ordered printers from other retailers. and had nightmares about the quality of the parts, sometimes downright dangerous. Sometimes it's not the distributors fault, it's the delivery process, regardless of the factors, Comgrow stands behind the products they sell. I had a small problem with my bed box, I emailed comgrow and after a few hours received a very friendly response, asked for some photos, sent them and with no further questions or problems I solved my problem! Right, they answered and solved my problem. The price Comgrow sells their items at is a bit higher than other random retailers you might browse, but worth every penny you spend knowing you have quality products. Now for the good stuff: This printer is made from 2020 and 2040 aluminum profiles. . The 24V power supply and motherboard are hidden in a black box at the base with an SD card on the front and a USB port. The LCD display has a function to start the bed leveling assistant, which sets your tool to 5 points for leveling. The leveling knobs rotate smoothly. Be careful not to pull the knobs at all when leveling to get accurate leveling. The Z-axis linear rods are 12mm thick, very strong, but the bed cantilever structure is still a bit shaky, there are a few levers you can press to improve the console structure (jump) instability. The Y-axis is equipped with a unique dual-shaft stepper motor to ensure both belts move synchronously. The top of the machine is basically a small CNC machine. In the future you can remove the extruder if you know your way around and add a laser to expand your machine for other purposes. Like Laserlithopanes. This is a really great machine to invest in and will expand over time. The build volume is also large, I printed a maximum height of 300mm without any problems.

Pros
  • Capricorn Premium XS Bowden Tube: Imported high temperature resistant blue Capricorn tube makes feed smoother and has excellent pressure structure.
Cons
