I just installed my acrylic enclosure. I was lucky enough to find it for $58.00 on one of the Creality sites. One thing I noticed that helped me with installation a great deal is starting with the door (as suggested in this video) and installing the bottom and one of the top enclosure mounts first on the enclosure sides. This made it MUCH easier to align the panels properly. That being said, Thank you for the video! The instructions were like hieroglyphics to me so it helped me tremendously! 😊
I like the hard cover. It just looks better.
Yeah it does look a lot better take up a lot less room
Thank you. This video was very helpful. I have a tent but it just takes up too much room. Just picked up this kit from Microcenter for $7.99. Marked down from $69.99. Sold!
My ender 5 S1 did not have a plastic removable insert like yours in the video at the 1:42 mark. Mine is solid aluminum , I ended up drilling the extrusion and screwing into it. Kinda of challenging but it was either that or try to glue the bottom hinge and magnet catch to the extrusion. I guess they changed the front extrusion in manufacturing.
That looks great…I guess it’s more of a breeze guard? I mean…that toaster speaks for itself though. Especially because the clearances can be worked out with settings. Interesting.
Yeah more or less it's a breeze guard. Unless you have vents over the top of it 😅
But yeah it does work as you can see in the video and that ABS print was done just using the default ABS profile in Cura. So with some tuning I can see it printing even better for sure.
I'm using the flexible Creality tent for my Ender 3 S1 Pro. It prints amazingly good ABS parts. The temperature in the inside is app. 25°C higher than in the room. But this is enough for perfect ABS. Much more important that the air temperature is the fact, that there is really no air movement inside.
Very nice, what are you printing using the abs
@@randymay my plan is to print really large horn speakers for audio applications (appr. 25kg Filament). This is only possible with ABS. And of course some technical parts.
@@stephanbrenner3317 That sounds like a massive print for sure. I'm uploading a video right now about a printer with a 420x420x500 build volume that would come in handy for large prints. 😊
I did mine for 30€ and a half day work and It's not bad at all. Next is the ABS test...
There's also a cover for the S1. Dunno if it's worth it.
Point of contention, there is no bottom, so as the heat rises, it is going to create a wind tunnel as it sucks cool air through the bottom, so realistically 2 more pieces will be needed, a top and a bottom. Creality do zero thought or intentionally make things bad to sell you more later.
You are right, there is no bottom as well. That being said most of the bottom is covered by the control box. I did think that might have been a problem as well but after using it and feeling the air inside the enclosure it just felt like unmovable warm air.
I do have a CO2 laser cutter so I can cut my own clear acrylic and try blocking off the bottom. That being said I can even make a top of I really wanted to but I probably won't do that.
I had very little faith about this enclosure from the start and I even talked about it in my first video about the ender 5 S1. I believe I said it looked useless due to having no top.
After that video I got an email saying that they are sending over the enclosure so that's why I made this video. I wanted to see if it did anything at all. 😁👍
Probably mentioned already, but there's also an acrylic top lid available for this printer now.
Oh really?
The acrylic cover is very stylish but this printer can do 300 degrees Celsius so is more of a performance printer than the average 240 degree max models. As a performance printer, you can expect to handle exotic materials such as PC or nylon where a full enclosure is required to limit fume concentration. As such, the flexible hood is the better option for this printer unless you have a ventilated workspace, and even then, the flexible hoods are a fireproof enclosure so if your printer decides that’s the day to try to burn your house down, it will fail. As sexy as the acrylic covers are, on a printer I have to choose function over makeup.
This printer was pretty much a stopgap between the older ender 5 and the new K1. Now this printer is very outdated and outperformed by their newer offerings.
@@randymay Do you think it's not worth it? I bought this printer 2 days ago for 339€. Would you say it is a bad buy in March 2024?
When printing with ABS, how do you deal with the fumes with the topless enclosure?
I have seen tops for the Ender 5 S1 advertised recently, have you tried any of these?
I've looked at the "soft" enclosure and feel it would work better beign fully enclosed and havign that refelctive interior surface, but the Acrylic looks nicer. Maybe the acrylic could benefit from a chamber heater?
I would love to know if this helped making things quieter?
It cuts it down on sound a very little but not that much the entire top is still open
@@randymay thanks!
Can you test out the top cover?
Ty
😊👍
How about the top cover?? Actually, for 10 times less money and little bit precise cuttong I did for mine with PC Lexan.
I still ordered the acrylic housing
It does seem to help and it makes the printer look nice. Also check out my new video seeing that I added a sonic pad to this printer and it really did speed up the printer. ua-cam.com/video/-VZtxd5rLB8/v-deo.html
Mine just has a metal rail in the bottom, so i can't fit the door on 😢 i tested it its 100% not plastic on mone
You can still take it out, you just have to take apart a little more of the printer 😅
@@randymay id probably destroy it in the process XD
Just take your time and it should be simple enough. I no longer have this printer but if I did I would make a short showing you how to take the two supports off and pull that piece out
Ok here’s the fix! Just dealt with this issue myself and if you search for Ender-5 S1 Door Frame Fixing Block you’ll find the stl for a part that affixes to the side instead of the bottom and works perfectly
@@joey_mck that worked perfectly! Cheers for the heads up!
Hi, the print quality is better in PLA?
It does well printing PLA but it can still print ABS, ASA and TPU
Does this fit the ender 5 pro?
I honestly don't know 😅
did you have any issues with getting the door flush?
I did, so the mounting blocks are longer on one side so they all have to go in the same way or things will be off. If I remember correctly you can see when you install them if they are flush with the frame or not.
Wait you are supposed to use a special nozzle for Nylon Carbon Fiber? I used the stock one and outside of needing to do some cleaning before the next print it worked.
Also my plan is to do the ole' emergency blanket trick for the top
If you are printing with a brass nozzle and using carbon fiber you will make the hole bigger with just a few hours of prints.
@@randymay Gotcha can I use the ruby one with the normal PLA? Or is this one of those things where I really need to use something like the Hermit Crab?
So if you put a ruby one in you can use any material on it and it won't matter. So unless you want to swap it out for a different size then you don't need to worry about it.
nice review!
Thank you very much 😁
I have a question about the little rubber guard thing that prevents the door from being installed. Does that need to be put back in. Im a little scared if I take it out I'm not going to get it back in lol
Yeah really don't need the black parts at the bottom of the frame
@@randymay awesome, thank you so much for the response. got my printer set up and already have a few successful prints out :D
Hey Randy, could I send you something to 3d scan for me with that jewelry scanner you have?
I'm sorry but what are you wanting?
@@randymay a small model train Snow plow. If happily pay you...
Send me an email. randymaybusiness@gmail.com
@@randymay will do!
There is a hard lid for it.
There is a hard lid for it now, not when I made the video 😁👍
This vs Sovol SV06 plus. Which one is better?
Thanks in advance!
It depends on what you are needing to print.
@@randymay Thank you for responding.
It will be used as a tool. I would like to print useful things for around the house, small bicycle parts, small car parts...etc.
I am not interested on making artworks.
So far, I l am leaning towards the Sovol.
They need to make a top part too then I'll buy
Understandable for sure
@@randymay eventhough very nice enclosure and printer really like the dark blueish acrylic! Good review
They make one now :)
Did you ever find the ruby nozzle?
Nope, not yet. All I was able to find so far was harden nozzles from Creality.
Hello @randymay thank you for the review. My enclosure just arrived but couldn't fit the Right panel into place due to the metal part. Do you have any suggestions :/
What metal parts are you coming in contact with?
@@randymay There is a metal part at the back of the top panel where the axis motor is located. The metal part on its left side is blocking the glass.
I think I’ll just try taping cardboard to the sides….
You can also use a cardboard box 😁👍
Need small fingers
