Creality Ender 6 Core XY 3D Printer with Three Faster Printing Speed, Quiet Motherboard and Print Size 250 x 250 x 400 mm

Product Information

Each printed part was accurately printed and I was able to easily install them with no post-processing required. Of course, the dual-color Phil-A-Ment was not printed on the Ender 6, so keep that in mind. The Ender 6 is not capable of multi-color printing like an IDEX.

One user had touchscreen errors, but taking apart the connectors and re-plugging it got it to work/The Ender 6 is considerably faster due to the CoreXY printing mechanics. On the Ender 5 Plus, the x and y axes are each driven by their own stepper motor and threaded spindles. After a bit of troubleshooting, I found out that the hotend cooling fan leaks a huge amount of air which is directed to the printed layers. Another issue I found with the Ender 6 print head is drafts from the hotend cooling fan. The fan moves a lot of air to keep the hotend cool and drafts of air pushed over your print. For PLA this is helpful in cooling the printed layers but it becomes an issue when printing PETG and ABS which don’t need too much cooling. Because of this, I failed to print ABS on the Ender 6 due to adhesion issues. Partially enclosed

Creality’s Ender 5 is a box-like printer that has outer dimensions of 440 x 410 x 465 mm and a build volume of 220 x 220 x 300 mm – so better make some room on your workbench. As a member of the Ender series, the X and Y-axis measurements of Ender-5 are the same as the Ender-3, but Ender-5 provides more room for the Z-axis. Each of the axes has a dedicated stepper motor. In a quite unusual way, the Y-axis motor drives both sides of the gantry at the same time so you get an overall smoother movement. The Z-axis is mounted in the middle of the bed with a big 8-mm-rod. Overall, the printer makes a sturdy impression. Moonraker not authorized for PolicyKit action: [org.freedesktop.login1.power-off], The shutdown API will be disabled

Downsides of the Creality Ender 6

There’s also the possibility of converting the Ender 6 to linear rails, but this adds to the cost of the machine and I’m not sure if it will improve the print quality significantly to make it worthwhile. Generic Creality Hotend
