Creality Ender 5 Plus 3D Printer 350x350x400mm

This is my first foray into 3d printing. Build was simple but the instructions could be clearer, had to dismantle and reassemble at one stage. A video on cable management would be advantageous as routing cables is a PITA. Bed levelling went well and first test print was perfect. I would recommend this printer with the caveat that I'm a complete novice and have only completed eight prints.

ordered it three weeks agostillhavnt recieved it

Ive looked forward to purchasing the ender 5 plus for oven 12 months. Since owning it ive had nothing but troubles, if it wasn't such a hassle to disassemble and ship it, id send it back for a refund.
- Constant inconsistencies when "Autohoming", sometimes it goes to the right z height other times it doesn't.
- Bed Levelling Knobs screw often spins and doesnt actually adjust the height
- Rear left guide rod has way to much friction even when lubricated can bind and squeak
- The Z axis screws have a fair bit of wobble when raising and lowering
- Cannot level the bed correctly, when the "Auto measure" feature is used the rear of the bed is measured alot higher than the front.

Unfortunately i have been very disappointed in the product and im considering throwing it to the dump

Having previously purchased other cheaper printers in the past only to be let down by poor quality or instability this printer was a dream straight out of the box. Assembly by far was one of the easiest to screw together but the biggest feature was the design ensured nothing was bent during delivery. All parts arrived perfect. It's big enough to print a full helmet if that aids in a mental image. Definitely would team it up with a magnetic build plate.

I shall start by saying that, at the price point, this is a lot of printer. The speeds are decent, the filament compatibility is strong, and the assembly intuitive. The software however, sucks. Both the on-board software and the custom slicer utility that comes with the unit are pretty awful. The pictures attached are of the first print I attempted, straight out of the box. As you can see, it's really very good. The printer does a great job! The layer lines are smooth and well aligned creating minimal unwanted texture, and the print has run 50+ hours without incident. If you look closely however, you will note that there is no support from the lower eye port to the brow ridge. The slicer has a setting for supports, specifically if you want only 'from bed' supports or regular. This model was sliced with the regular setting and still, no supports there. That is a problem. When sliced and printed using S3D, this section came out perfectly on this very same printer. At one stage I needed to swap filament rolls. One would think this would be simple. The filament-out detector paused the printer and the screen presented me with two options, manual filament change, or cancel print. I chose filament change and nothing happened. Apparently I was meant to intuit that manual change meant actuating the bowden-end of the filament line and manually withdrawing the filament before manually reinserting the filament all the way to the extruder. This isn't a big deal, but my MakerBot 5th gen an
