Ender 5 First Layer Visibility Bar Modification

thingiverse

I aimed to boost the visibility of my initial layer on the Ender by addressing its typical lackluster quality. Spotting an attractive conversion for the Ender 5 Pro caught my attention, prompting me to craft a similar setup tailored specifically for the non-Pro Ender 5 model. I created this design independently, so I won't be referencing the one adapted for the Ender 5 Pro, but you can easily look it up if interested. This conversion utilizes existing M5 bolts, eliminating the need for additional hardware. To implement it, simply loosen the top front X-axis bar and rotate it as shown in the illustration, then secure with the new hardware in place. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this setup, feel free to share your thoughts in a comment, and I'll be happy to revise and refine it accordingly.
