Ender 5 Pro Upgrade Thread.

watching my printer I think that if I went dual Z then I could potentially go slightly bigger build plate?
but then if I was spending out on dual Z I would be thinking about the hydra setup as well.

really all this upgrading has made me think that I should really pickup a ender 5 plus. the modifications would just carry over without much issue.
 
had some fun over the weekend, belt broke! turns out my mix of upgrades had caused it to ride up on the stepper, so I've replaced the rail connections for proper endorphin3d ones. much better now.
 
yeah, it's because I was trying to half arse it. I'm still thinking that at some point I'll want to go full COREXY.
currently I'm looking at the x gantry, the rail that endorphin3D says is 9mm rather than 12 as it's lighter but that doesn't fit well on the 2020 extrusion.
 
It can be frustrating but I like my old machines, use them, mod them, get frustrated at them, learn from them.

The new machines do look good, still not convinced by some of them though.
 
need another rail and some screws etc, ordered a dragonfly hotend to go on the E34M1 toolhead I'm going to do at the same time.
I've most of it printed, tempted to get some black ASA to break up the red.
