Get A kit here: 3dfused.com/product/corexy/ Use Code UPGRADE to save 15% This weekend!

You need to check the belts on the left side. You went around the outside of the spacer instead of behind it on the pulley with the belt.

I did this mod, and its IMPORTANT to know that the video is reversed, it will look like he's working on the right side, but its actually the left and vice-versa. Other than that, this is a fantastic upgrade and instructional video.

You should torque the rails from the center out allowing for the compression to move outward

@@TheEdgeofTech Yep no problem same principle as torqueing a head on a V8 or any motor

You seem to have missed the pully on the top belt, and wrapped it around the standoff (44:15) so if so you should correct the video as it will confuse the hell out of people

44:14 Looks like that top belt is routed incorrectly. It's coming off at an angle compared to the bottom belt. Looks like it's routed around the pulley and standoff instead of just the pulley.

To prevent oil from burning when it gets in a cut, first spray your cuts with brake cleaner. It will help you adapt to all sorts of future pain and make the oil feel like a welcomed relief.

Great video! Makes the printer look so much nicer and better design than stock really even with having to come up with the belt system. I think the kit looks great! Fits looks good and doesnt look like theres any weak spots in the assembly itself.. Any idea on when Part 2 of this videos is coming out?! I want to order this kit for my Ender 5 S1, but I would just like to see it working and the FW setup video first..

Save the headache with this kit and just go with a Mercury one build. Use your printer to print out parts with a great community

Looks like maybe that second belt you ran was incorrect. Looks like it ran around the post, on the left side, and not inside the post around the pulley. Maybe just how the camera shows it I may be wrong. Love your Videos and thanks for all you do.

Yes the left top idler on the X axis was missed. That's why the belts are clearly not parallel. At least it means the belt is cut too long and not too short so its an easy fix.

Interesting mod. I bet the designer/manufacturer could design some more printed jig pieces to help with alignmet of the X gantry. Kinda like the linear rail alignment pieces. It could slip over the X extrusion align eith the edges of the brackets and/or the screw holes

Having Installed a 3D fused Linear Rail Full XYZ Kit on my CR-10 Smart Pro, The Kit it self is fine although there Pre Printed Parts are Horrendous! There Customer Support is Lacking & their Instructions are Severely outdated at best. I had to Redesign my own Limit Switch Blocks / Housings, Buy extra Mounting hardware for the Y Rails & the Bearings were not even oiled when delivered new. I strip the Bearings myself and grease them myself. Their Website needs an overhaul Badly. A lot of others have suffered the same circumstance, fortunately I have video recorded the whole installation process myself and am about to upload it for others to use as 3Dfused #3Dfused are not up to speed with their own designs and clearly releasing products still in need of R&D processing before going on sale to the Public. On top of that it took 3 months to arrive. Very Slow. Glad you had a Good Experience with their Kit but many others have not.

So sorry for your experience with our kits I can assure you that all that has been corrected. Have you been on the site lately? We have a whole new team as we have merged with a bigger company, we also moved from printed parts to all aluminum except the rail ends and limit bracket. Our support staff is standing by and you will see that not only is our order processing better our communication is better. Appreciate the feed back your welcome to reach out maybe we can get your video linked to the product page for reference!

Awesome video Jim! Now I have to buy one for my Pro and Plus!!!

Did you notice the top belt on the left side of the X gantry was not run through the correct path? it should not have been ran over the RED spacer it should have gone over the smooth pulley.

Is the follow up video referenced in this video still on your radar? Any sense of timing?

When is the second part commng ;)

Hello Jim, I am in the process of getting the 3D FUSED core XY linear rail kit for my Ender 5 Plus and watched your video on install and WOW, very good. Thanks for the AWESOME detailed video! Was wondering when the next video on Firmware install is coming out for the Klipper system?? because this I feel would be the best Firmware for this???? Thanks again and can't wait for the Firmware video!!

Hi Jim, Thanks for a great tutorial on the 3DFused kit. Oh, and the belt routing thing. I have just ordered the kit for my E5 Pro which is running Klipper on a RaspberryPi interfaced to the Creality 4.2.7 MB. My question is this...Do I need to do something special with the Klipper firmware / printer.cfg file in order to make this kit functional? Thanks again for your efforts and sharing it with all of us. Doc'

I love your video and might consider the xy solution you mentioned. I have another Ender 5 pro-related question and I'm not sure if you have already done this or had a reason not to do it. I have the Ender 3 touchscreen lying around and wondered if I could install it on my ender 5 pro with an upgraded 4.2.7 board.

Hopefully you will install KLIPPER!

That's a great price for this kit. I'm not a Creality person, but it will make a great upgrade for those who own them.

Helll yeahhhh, was waiting you do some loke that… voron???

This is a great idea but who do they think they are that they can charge $269 for the kit without rails and $369 For a kit that has the 3 rails. That is insane. This is maybe 75$ worth of hardware with a 400% mark up.

@3Dfused

Our kits are Definitely not 75$ worth of hardware, these are premium machined cnc parts with high quality hardware, can understand your thinking but for the cost you get a very high quality product that works without issues and gets major increases to benefit it. Our kits are priced fairly in comparison to other less quality options on the market.

Hm... This is a nice upgrade, no doubt. But $350 (+motors) i would just put an snother 100 and buy a K1 aside of my E5pro, which is pints perfectly just not with high speed. Then i have 2 printers. Not 1, which is also can add up to speed especially i use one for modelling, prototyping while the another one is printing small series. Or whatever combination. I understand the "quality" but these 3d printers are goes obsolete in couple of years anyway.

funny just all had same time a discussion about upgrading ender 5 Core Xy diffrend ways but these parts look metal cool

Ce kit existe-t-il autre part ? ou un kit similaire ? Parce que les frais de port pour la Belgique sont trop élevé :(

It might be good if the kit included some thread locker.

I considered upgrading my Ender 5pro, but including tool head you end up with a machine as expensive as a P1P, but inferior in many ways. The frame geometry needs to be checked and rightened before even starting the assembly. Even extrusions aren’t a given for Creality.

In terms of quality, bambulab does not even come close These parts are machined alumnium, as compared to bambulabs majority of which has injection molded plastic parts

How long did it take to get the kit ? It took almost 9 months to get an order from 3DFused, and I'm now at the 4 months stage waiting on my other order. I REALLY wanted to buy this kit, but God only knows how long it would take to get. I love their kits, but unfortunately I can't waste anymore time waiting for parts. It's a shame.

Several years ago I bought an E5Pro thanks to your OG videos on the printer, and s few massages back and forth. Now that I have long since stopped using it, and recently gotten a Bambu X1-Carbon, I'm thinking the Core X-Y conversion for the E5Pro might be an interesting exercise. I do have the Micro Swiss NG hotend for it and was thinking of also moving it to Klipper. Three questions: 1. Have you tried this yet, or know of anyone who has tried such a combination? 2. Your thoughts on the process and result were I to give it a go? 3. Did you find the end result was worth the cost and effort, seeing as how it'll be around $300? (Wow, the upgrade coupon code still works, 5 months later!)

@@TheEdgeofTechI put the Klipper pad from FLSun on my Super Racer and it was an easy and beneficial upgrade. Definitely recommend it. I've been sitting on an E3Mini V.3 BTT board and a Pi5 waiting for the Klipper/Pi5 build to put that all on my E5Pro. But I have to admit the X1-Carbon is so solid a lot of my upgrade interest has fallen by the wayside since I got it. The Bambu Lac X1-C is the printer I've been wanting every since I got my Monoprice Maker Ultimate 5 years ago.

My Ender 5 Pro is running Klipper now and my EZABL and EZOUT are both operational. I may just do this.

You need my overhead support arm to manage the wires....lol

I have this kit for my 5+. I debated between this and the Mercury1 but decided machined parts would be superior. I placed my order was looking forward to it, but sadly I was disappointed with almost the entire experience. Not including the horrendous delay in shipment and zero communication from the company, the kit I received is sloppy. Pully and idler bearings started leaking in less than a month, anodizing was patchy, screws were missing from the sets, aluminum spacers were not cut consistently leaving 4-5 mm gaps between the pulleys and mounting plates causing the pulleys to not line up at all, and all three rail carriages had ball bearings binding up requiring a complete disassembly, cleaning, and relube. After i had to replace my 4th pulley and had an idler start leaking I got really tired of my printer being down, waiting on replacement parts, and disassembling over and over. My last straw was I started getting a metal on metal screeching noise any time the gantry would move at a certain speed. I tried troubleshooting with the company on discord, they were responsive, but I just had enough and gave before figuring it out. At the time 3D printing was just a hobby and the 5+ was my only printer, so it would be down for weeks till I would get around to working on it. I bought a Bambu X1C and put my Ender in the garage. Now I'm starting to sell custom prints and have a need for a bigger print bed so I'm dusting off the 5+ but i pretty much have to start over because I forgot everything I learned about Klilper. Since I'm starting over this time going with the Mercury1. I did order my kit over a year ago when the entire industry was struggling to resources. I'm sure my 3Dfused order was rushed and they did what they could and i hope they've corrected these issues, but i won't be ordering from them again. I am planning on using this kit again on a custom printer I'm thinking of building, basically a mini Ender 5, so it'll still be used.

Will this work on a Ender 5 Plus?

This would be the only reason to go for linear rails on the Ender 5. If you only do linear rails without the fulll core xy conversion, there is no difference in prints and you are just throwing money away. The cube design of the Ender 5 really lends itself well to conversion to core-xy

Would this work on a Sovol SV05? I know it's similar to the ender 5 but not sure if it's exactly the same.

6 months in and no follow up video as indicated would be coming. Disappointing. Maybe a Mercury 1 kit from Fabreeko at $229, including nema 17 motors, is the way to go? Thoughts?

I did this to mine and boy is the firmware a BIOTCH to get working properly.

Honestly, the Ender 5 plus is probably the only thing worth doing this on.

Sweet video on a topic that I don't think is talked about enough right now. Too much push for people to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on new machines when there's tons of these cheap machines out there that can be worth it for a few hundred in upgrades!

Tell me it´s an add without telling me it is an add!

I hate t nuts I bought what I can only call full size versions I don't now what there called

u show how to route the belts very wrong in this video so maybe put in a note. or remove this video and reupload a fixed version if u cheeck 42.26 in this video it clearly shows the belt resting on a distance and not the idler. and this can give people with even less knowledge trouble when they follow a video on how to do something and the how to do video shows it wrong.
