Mods and COnfig files for my Ender 5 Plus

Ender 5 Plus

This repo contains the modifications and current configuration files for my Creality Ender 5 Plus.

Main Board

The main board in this printer is an BTT SKR-Mini E3 V2.0.

Screen

The screen is still the stock screen. A custom cable was created so that it could work with the new main board via the TFT pins, see pinout below:

LCD Pin SKR Pin Description
1 5 5V

3 3 LCD RX / SKR TX2
4 2 LCD TX / SKR RX2
5 NC
6 4 GND

Hotend Cooler

Stock cooler, but klipper has been configured so that the fan only turns on when the temperature is set to 50°C or above. When the hot end turns off, the fan turns off once the temperature drops back below 50°C.

Enclosure Fan

The stock enclosure fan was always on and very loud, so it was replaced with a 5V Noctua fan. It is connected to the SKR via the Neo Pixel port. It turns on and off automatically whenever the extruder or bed are turned on.

Firmware

Klipper is loaded onto this printer, see printer.cfg

It is running on a Raspberry Pi 4B. Currently it is just sitting beside the printer, but will soon be mounted inside of the control box and powered from the SKR with a DCDC converter to drop the voltage to 5V.
