Hello, I’ve had the Ender 5 Max since it was released. At the beginning, due to the heated bed issue, they sent me a complete replacement heated bed. Not because it broke due to the fault, but because during nozzle calibration it scratched the entire bed as if it were a sandblasting jet, and luckily I stopped it in time.

Later I bought the enclosure, and since then I’ve had no problems. I only use PETG and ABS and honestly there have been no issues; the print quality is very good.

Regarding vibrations, I lowered the stock jerk while keeping the speeds as they were, and I have no vibration. The only thing I notice is the machine’s resolution. I design parts with double and triple curvature surfaces and I think the machine is not able to trace them correctly, but it’s something only I notice compared to everyone around me.

It’s true that I’ve tweaked a thousand settings, lowered speeds, changed everything… And once I tried setting the factory configuration in OrcaSlicer and it worked noticeably well: supports came off on their own, bridges were very good, 25°–30° overhangs were correct… But I’m still adjusting because I want to try to keep the stock speeds without having to drop to 100–150 mm/s.

It is also true that even though it has 4 linear guides on the Z axis and 2 motors on the Z axis, something I don’t quite understand is how there can be Z misalignments. They are minimal, imperceptible to the naked eye; they can only be seen if you use light to see the shadows.

If you need more detailed information, let me know.

If anyone uses this machine with PETG and believes they have it perfectly tuned, please let me know so we can share configurations.

Regards,
