Base E3D Ender 5

I have now successfully tested V.1.1 and the assembly with the slide function works exceptionally well! I also adjusted the carriage clip, which fits perfectly now. V.1.1 I experimented with the direct drive to the Ender 5 carriage and found that the fit with the new mounting holes and cable holder is great, but the slide function on the back was not working properly. So, I moved it to the bottom, angled it, and added cones around the new holes on the back to make it easier to slide into place. Additionally, I reinforced the cable holder for extra stability. A really impressive direct drive base! However, it did not fit the Ender 5 carriage initially. To resolve this issue, I modified it to suit the E3D version. The wider size of the Ender 5 carriage posed a problem as it blocked the cable holder. Therefore, I created a new one from scratch and secured the cables using 1.5 mm zip ties at both top and bottom.
