Ender 5 Max bed leveling

Ender Series Creality Ender-5
1

I have a new Ender 5 Max and find that the bed leveling is way off in the bed mesh. Is there a way to manually level the bed or improved the level in the bed mesh?

Edit: I got the new hotbed for it and it has not changed a thing.

What firmware version you have on yours?

My is on 1.2.0.07

3

6.2.0.10 anyway I made a mes map even with yours version. You have to make a map before printing on the same temperature for the bed that you are using for the print.

4

I have 12.0.10

5

oops I meant to say 1.2.0.10

6

You made a mesh map and saved it via web interface?

7

Yes, I went to the IP address of the printer and was able to see the bed mesh

Wow, really bad bed. Try to print spacers and make a new mesh,and save the mesh to config.

Vladimir for some reason my other post got locked. I am a total newbie and have issues when my bed heats up to print ABS. The bed level is terrible, you offered some InSite on my other post but i could not reply due to it being locked out. How can i level the bed at 90C? And remember i am a novice!

10

Prehit the bed, and only after the bed hited send a command to make a map from the web interface, but probably you will need a fluid. I do not remember if in original web interface you have this option.

11

I tried to do this but then the bed waits to cool back down before it will level. There is no level option in the web interface, I need to do it from the control pad?

12

where did you get this version from, I am on 1.2.0.7 ? I tried to update and it says i am on the latest.

13

I have the same problem. Just had a 9mm thick precision ground bed made for mine. Hope to install it in a couple days.

14

Search on github. But there is more problems. I’m trying to return printer and make a refund. Printer is too bugged, and as creality after sales manager said me, they don’t have a time right now to solve them because they are focused on multi color printers.

15

Isn’t THAT re assuring to customers !

16

Saying that they won’t fix any problems of this printer because they have more expensive printer that they have to deal with?

First of all please forget about our disagreement in previous post…
People this printer is scam from Creality and I stand behind my words!!!
There is no way to print anything except PLA.
With stock firmware there is no way to start printing at 70 degrees what even more…90 for ABS perhaps.
Before print start printer cool down and start heating the bed when print already start to print object. Because of that nothing will stick to bed.
Anymore here please do the test with this crap printer.
Put sheet of glass over the bed and heat it to any temperature over 45 degrees…observe outer edges of bed…what do you see? 1-3 mm gap all a round maybe? If you dont have gap you didnt tighten 4 screws of heted plate.
THIS PROBLEM CAN’T BE SOLVED WITH THIS HEATED BED!!!
I already order new aluminium bed. Only thicker cast aluminium bed can solve this…nothing else!!!
If you are like me and still don’t want to return it do this:

  • first root this crap of firmware to get full klipper access
  • do all the necessary tuning and calibrations
  • REMOVE build plate(throw it into garbage where it belong) get 5mm 415x415 glass and put it on bed.
  • secure glas with clips or something that will hold it on bed
  • make new bed meshes for ALL TEMPERATURE YOU WILL USE
  • before start printing be shure to select right bed mesh profile
    Sadly but it is true…we all throw away 800e for this shit. And if you are not technical guy do anything to return it.
    This I think about this printer…
