Comment on Downsize Ender 5 plus?
IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 week ago
The ender 5 isn’t a bed slinger so it should be relatively compact for its print volume. You can certainly get a smaller printer. You can do this by getting a more compact printer and/or sacrificing build volume. If you want compact you’re probably going to want a coreXY
For example:
- your ender 5 pro is 552mm x 485mm x 510mm and has a build volume of 220mm x 220mm x 300
- a Prusa i3 mk3 is 500mm x 550mm x 400mm and has a build volume of 210mm^3^ (the bedslinger is indeed bigger)
- a 300mm^3^ Voron 2.4 is 460mm x 460mm x 480mm and has, well, a 300mm^3^ build volume. They also have a 250mm version that will probably save another 50mm in every dimension
- a Prusa mini is 380mm × 330mm × 380mm and has a build volume of 180mm ^3^
- a Voron 0.2 is 230mm x 230mm x 250mm and has a build volume of 120mm^3^
- I gave up on finding dimensions on the salad fork, but it’s probably going to be even smaller than the v0 due to using 15x15 extrusions instead of 20x20

I’m talking about an Ender 5 plus, not a pro. The build volume is 350x350x400.
