Ender 5 Max will not bind to cloud
on April 18, 2025
Posted by: Joe
Purchased 2 Ender 5 Max and 8 K1 Max printers. All 8 K1s had no issue binding to the cloud. However, neither of the 2 Ender 5s will bind to the cloud. All printers are on the same network. :(

Good value for some applications

This would be a good production printer for multiple small parts or large toys like dragons. It went together easily and is very sturdy. Print quality is good.
Unfortunately the large amount of bed warp makes it unsuitable for larger prints that require a flat bottom. It is impossible to get a good 1st layer on the entire plate because the system cannot compensate sufficiently for the large amount of warp.

The printer seems to be marketed at commercial print farm use, but insufficient spare parts are available for use in that application.

The large printer I've been waiting for!
on April 16, 2025
Posted by: Gregory
I have absolutely no affiliation with Creality and I bought the printer with my own money. Since unboxing and assembly (more involved than most but very simple and the instructions are clear and all parts are separated and labeled extremely well), I've had nothing but flawless prints on this machine. And it's FAST. I've needed a large format printer for my business for a while but there was never an option that provided size, speed, high quality prints, and consistency without a huge price tag. The 5 Max finally checked all the boxes at an affordable price.
My only gripe is it doesn't offer the ability for remote access (ssh) and doesn't run the fluidd interface. Hopefully this becomes an option later like it was with the K1 series.
In conclusion,
After buying a K1 Max a couple years ago (2nd iteration) and needing to iron out some issues to get it working perfectly, and briefly owning an Ender 5 Plus (terrible printer without upgrades and way too slow for my needs), I've been skeptical of buying a newly released creality machine. But the Ender 5 Max seemed to have everything I wanted so I had to give it a shot. I'm truly glad I did! My experience has been perfect. I use orca slicer and the stock profiles are pretty close. There is some ghosting with silk filament that can be fixed with PA tuning. And the first layer line width (for 0.2mm later height profile) is set to 0.55mm which causes away too much squish on the first layer. Changing it to 0.5mm makes perfect first layers every time. If you are debating on getting this printer, get it!

Good but could be better.

It prints well but is very loud. I would like to get the enclosure or other accessories but they are virtually impossible to find. Tried a few tricks on wiki to reduce noise but no luck. Hopefully more accessories and options are coming. Love the ease of setup. Print bed space is awesome. Don't regret the purchase.

It’s a sexy beast

I wanted a large printer without all the extra features. I have to say, this machine has performed surprisingly well. I've been using it for two weeks, and not once has it produced a failed print. The manufacturer has truly stepped up their game with this one. It's a fantastic printer!

This Machine is a beast. Is it perfect no but it is a joy for me to use. The firmware issue is a problem but Creality is busy I know but please get just regular supplies to be available getting many hours of print on machine needing supplies. Hardened nozzle to complete print capabilities. Great machine will get better with better Support . easily one of my favorite machines.

Very fast and excellent print quality. I use a printer for business - developing prototypes, products and fixtures for use in my engineering consulting business and I need the printer to be reliable, easy to use and fast. Bambu X1c is my first printer, and has fulfilled this. I needed a larger printer and the Ender 5 is fast with CoreXY, and it has been easy to use, FAST and great quality for my first 5 prints (in service 1 week). Reliability is yet to be seen.

Printer Noob. First off the firmware needs updating. Chinese menus come up in some parts of the UI. Limited to only Creality Print. No enclosure. Past those issues a really solid printer. Printed a bunch of test parts with standard configuration and all come out well. Made some parts that I designed in Fusion those came ot well too. Changed the Nozzle for a MK8 1.0mm nozzle and printed PLA-LW in vase mode and that part came out well. In all a pretty good printer for my first printer.
