If you're wondering why i haven't replied yet...a friend said it should be easy to put the 5 pro mainboard into my 5 plus, so i decided: "might as well as it's already apart for upgrades and maintenance"
Turns out it's not that simple and requires a fair deal of adjustments like the bltouch connector and it only has on Z stepper motor connector on the board.
And i need to figure out how to do the firmware etc...
Have you compiled your own firmware? It can be a little bit tricky figuring out what you need to change, but it's definitely doable if you have a little bit of experience with computers.
Btw. I think Creality made 2 versions of Ender 5 with different Z leadscrews, so regardless of if you're trying to use prebuilt firmware or compiling your own you might need to verify that the z-steps is set correctly for your hardware.
Not yet, i'm still working on getting it all back together as i need different connectors and some other hardware.
I thought it would be an easy way to save roughly €100, but alas.
I have a copy of my current settings, dimensions etc. So it should get me some safe variables to start it up once it's time to test if everything is ok.
