Ender-5 Plus Configurations for Marlin Firmware
Important
NOTE: The Ender-5 LCD stock firmware is only compatible with Creality firmware. The LCD standard UI will not function. This is expected.
Marlin DGUS UI Instructions
The Ender-5 stock LCD can optionally use a customized Marlin DGUS interface. With the stock LCD firmware Marlin can only be controlled from a host over USB.
- Format an SD card using the FAT32 filesystem with 4K cluster size.
- Copy the
DWIN_SET
folder to the SD card.
- Power off the printer and disassemble the front panel to get access to the LCD board.
- Insert the SD card into the slot on the back of the LCD (not the main SD slot).
- Power on the printer. The screen will turn blue and display several messages, finishing with "SD Card Process... END!".
- Remove the microSD card and power cycle the printer.
- Once it looks good reassemble the front panel. You may need to physically rotate the LCD by 180˚ for proper UI orientation.
Restoring Factory Firmware
The original firmware can be restored by downloading the Ender 5 Plus firmware from Creality. You can follow the same LCD flashing procedure using the Creality-provided DWIN_SET
folder.
Marlin DGUS UI Limitations
- The Information button (i) doesn't function.
- The Tools menu does not do anything at this time.
- If you press the Tools menu icon, enter another menu, then press "back" you will end up stuck at the Boot Screen. Touch anywhere on the screen to get back to the Status Screen.
