Interesting, may have to try one.
Have got klipper installed on my ender 5 now just calibrating it- just struggling for time at tge moment.

same here, kids etc printers in the loft which is cold and I dislike being cold.
I've decided to pickup the rails before the hotend as I can afford them sooner.
I'm also going to deviate from the endorphin3d setup so the rails are on the outside.

Be interested to see how you get on with the mods.

Well ive been trying the ender 5 out on dome prints and also the prusa slicer, all seems to be going well just need to work more to get the speed up now.
Prints all good but quite slow with default prusa settings.

stick klipper on it. some rails and the endorphin mod. you'll get some better speeds. iirc prusa defaults to 40? default can do at least 80/100.
Rails Arrived!
opting for a partial move to rails currently, I'm doing the Y's while I consider the X options. also using these mounts rather than the endorphin ones as I'm not 100% sold.

also because it'll be quicker.

Ender 5 MGN12H Linear Rail Conversion Kit by SnakeP
An easy-to-install adapter for MGN12H linear rails on the X and Y-axis of the Creality Ender5. Incl. Adapter for the limit switches on X, Y and Z axes. Print in PLA or PETG with 100% Infill. For the Y linear rail adapter 4xM4x18mm and 8xM3x8mm For the X linear rail adapter 1xM5x12mm, 1xM5x8mm...

Depending on the length of the rails you have I'd really recommend doing the Zero G Mercury. I converted my ender 5 over a year ago and it's awesome, quite the change from original.
looking at the rest of the bits for zero G it's something I'd love to do but realistically it's a lot more involved than the endorphin mod.
rails installed, endorphin calls for MGN9 for the X carriage but I'm not sold on it. it's lighter but the rail doesn't fit nicely (the 2020 gap causes it to twist. I've printed a support which may help. we'll see.)
I've yet to decide on what to do for the extruder. I may wait till revo roto comes back in stock and pick that up.
nope, just a bit of config and all good.

if you've a Pi already then it's _super cheap_ the ADXL345 just needs wiring in then some code from klipper.
they sold 2 in a pack .. my mate is taking the other one..
I just wanted to say thank you for encouraging me..
done it yesterday prints look much nicer
but my blower part cooling fan is dying.. I was already a bit ****** but i think vibration from the calibration might have done it

Have no idea.. But all of my ringing and ghost is gone now
Hmm it resonates at such high frequency? Hmm have compared this to other printers?so, new post rails and new cooling ducts here's my resonances -
not sure why mines an order of magnitude more? or am I reading it wrong?
though the acceleration is WAY higher?
Mine is a bed slinger maybe that is the difference
