Studying the similarities on a surface level, the Creality Ender 5 Pro doesn't appear to be extraordinarily different from its predecessor, but the manufacturer has packed several welcome surprises in this new iteration. Here a spell overview of the differences between the Ender 5 Pro and original Ender 5 3D Printer.
Metal Extruder Frame
Another new addition to the Creality Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer is a highly durable metal extruder frame. This feature provides stronger pressure while pushing filament through the 3D Printer's nozzle, which the manufacturer claims will bolster the overall printing performance. This upgraded metal extruder kit comes equipped with an adjustable bolt so that users can tweak the pressure of the extruder gear to best fit whichever filament is selected.
New and Improved Filament Tubing
Last but not least, the Creality Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer also includes new and improved filament tubing. The Capricorn Bowden PTFE Tubing has a 1.9mm ± 0.05mm inner diameter, reducing any excess wiggle room and preventing the filament from buckling inside of the tube. The addition of this high-end tubing makes the Creality Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer better suited to print with flexible filaments and other exotic materials.
What is OctoPi?
If you are looking for a better way to send prints to your 3D printer then look no further than OctoPi.
OctoPi is a Raspbian SD Card Image for the Raspberry Pi that already includes OctoPrint plus everything you need to run it. OctoPi allows you to remotely manage your printer, send gcode, monitor your printer during prints and even create beautiful time lapses.
There are also many OctoPi plugins that extend the functionality and allow you to do things like AI Monitoring of your prints, or sending status information over your favourite messenger.
Setup is quick and easy, and OctoPi supports Creality Printers out of the box.
