Ender 5 Pro Direct Drive Bracket + allows for CR Touch

prusaprinters

<p>Madau's original design worked great and was nice and strong, but when I got a CR-Touch probe I discovered they do not play nicely together.</p> <p>I removed a small piece to make room for the CR-Touch and that<em>does</em> make the bracket slightly less stable, so I would recommend printing this with a stronger material such as PLA+ or increasing the number of walls to at least 6 for extra rigidity.</p> <p>I also removed the zip-tie mount on the side as I had no use for it, and filled in the text because I don't like logos (sorry Madau).</p> <p>I am using this on an Ender-5 Pro, but it is probably also compatible with the Ender-5, and probably not with the Ender-5 Plus. Let me know yea or nay in the comments and I'll update this description to confirm. Also it should still be compatible with the Ender-3 and CR-10 like the original.</p> <hr/> <p>The two files are exactly the same model, just with different orientations:</p> <ul> <li>The "minimal supports" version is oriented on the diagonal so that you only need a small amount of support which extends directly down onto the build plate, but instead has a large amount of 45 degree overhang.</li> </ul> <p>This was better for me since PLA+ supports can be very tough to remove and my printer has no trouble with overhangs.</p> <p>It has low contact area with the print bed so at least 3 lines of brim is recommended.</p> <ul> <li>The "minimal overhang" version is oriented like Madau's original post, with very few steep overhangs, and instead requires a large chunk of support entirely within the model. You may find this works better with your setup.</li> </ul> <hr/> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 5</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.24</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15% gyroid</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> illdmax PLA+ space gray</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I recommend at least 2 walls + alternate extra wall, and 3 top/bottom layers, with more with weaker materials.
