3D PRINTING – Creality Ender 5 – Unboxing – Setup & First Print

Those of you who have been following this channel for a few years would remember about two and a half years ago I purchased a relatively cheap 3D printer called the Cocoon Create Touch from Aldi. Unfortunately, I had a lot of issues with it and ended up returning it, thus there were never many videos about it.

However, with the need to 3D print things coming up for me more frequently these days, I decided to take the plunge again, this time with a Creality Ender 5! So in today’s video we unbox, assemble and try out our first few prints with the Ender 5.

I am by no means a 3D printing expert so this is more of a first experience than a review video, but I hope it shows you what it’s like for a newbie to set one of these printers up from scratch.
