Install Creality SPEEDY SPIDER Hot End on Ender 5 Plus (and Ender 3 PRO)

I noticed that there is a black and a red wire on the new speedy spider heater wire, and the factory heater wire has 2 red. Does the polarity matter on the heater wire when hooking it up?

iv installed the speedy spider, i cant dial in my retractions whatsoever! i used to have great prints, is there a trick to these all metal hotends or do i have a faulty one!!! thank you sir!!! used to run 6 60mm speed, now it looks the best, which is super stringy at 2 and 30mm!!!! i dont want to give up on this ender since i had it from the start of this hobby!!!

Thanks for the video,
will this kit fit the ender 3 v3 ke without mods or should i look for something else?

Very informative review! Thanks.

would u mind sending me the firmware you are running on this ender 5 plus. please and thank you

I am just a little confused is it plug and play or do I need to splice the wires on an ender 5 plus?? I thought i heard you say you can just plug it in and you're done.

What firmware are you using on your ender 5+? Do you have an installation guide by chance?

I sometimes use my teeth to strip the wire back. Can't be arsed looking through my tool set for wire cutter.. 😅😂

what firmware you running on your 5 plus?

It looks good and I only have one concern. It looks like the heater cartridge and thermister are not replaceable. It looks like you would have to buy a new hotend if you damaged one of the wires somehow.

I have a problem with setting the temperature. PID doesn't help
It does not heat the nozzle during printing.
Still missing 10*C
The standard HOTEND works without any problems.
Spider 4.0 works beautifully except for this E1 temperature error

Hi there! Thanks for the video! Iam installing the spider speedy now on my Ender 3 max neo. But how do you know witch orange wire for the heating element is positive and negative? Or doesn't that matter?

Hi so I have a ender 5 plus and Im fairly new at wiring, do I need to do the crimping and wiring he does between the hot end and the existing wiring? or was that to just show how to do for those who wanted the option? If I do need to do it, does someone mind explaining what all the different wires do?

Silent motherboard (stepper drivers) would't be the worst idea,

Can you do a firmware update or upgrade for the ender 5 plus? I put insanity firmware, then tried going back to stock. All I get is either Chinese and buttons don't work. Or English and buttons don't work.

WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK !
The latest bug : y axis crash during homing . Sometimes on startup the machine thinks Y0 is 3 inches different from where it used to be .
Result : extruder slams into frame upon y axis homing .
THIS THING IS GARBAGE 100% waste of time !

Hiya Greg, this should be compatible as well with a V2 Neo, right? thx

@3DRundown I have the spider 3 pro hotend now for around 4 months. And till now it worded will but for 1 or 2 weeks now I can not finish any print anymore - it starts clogging ….. any methods works for 1 or 2 prints maybe. What is your experience with the speedy spider after 4 months?

What will this do for my Ender 3 pro, besides faster heat up times? Great t Greg keep on keeping on🔥👍🤓

Awesome video, thanks. I have an Ender 5 plus, and Im deftly will add the new hot-end!!! Question: your Ender 5 plus firmware seems more complete and better than mine, what is your firmware version? mine is 1.70.2 and it sucks! Thanks

Is the size of the speedy hot end the same as the stock hotend of an ender 5 plus? I have the og spider hot end and it's way bigger than the stock so my bL touch doesn't reach the bed before the nozzle and my nozzle is crashing into the bed. Not sure how to correct this. I tried adjust the bL touch with a bracket but then the bL touch crashes on the support brackets to the left when bed leveling 😮‍💨

Do you have any issues printing with PLA on the spider all metal hotend. I installed a Micrswiss all metal hotend and direct drive and every time I try printing with PLA it cloggs the hotend. So I only use PETG now which I have had no issues with.

So I got this hotend. I can’t get it past 7.2 mms cube flow rate.

If I increase the temp to 280 it works but then I can’t really print with it since everything just droops and looks fucked.

Wtf am I doing wrong? With a stock kobra go hotend I can push 17 mms cube.

This spider was literally almost the same cost as a brand new kobra go

Giving up on this extruder... went through 2 already... clogs VERY easily. Clogging was the reason I ditched the stock hotend... The nozzle does heat up really quickl;y and the nipple guard is great. Other than that, not that special. Still looking for a good replacement for the stock hotend. Any recommendations would be welcome.

I just got mine today, and when leveling with the creality bl touch, I noticesd that it sits lower than the level and I can't level that bed at all with out the bed pushing up on the hotend.

Thanks for the video. I have seen some other folks having issues with theirs, thankfully I have not had problems with mine and I am loving this hot end. I was wondering what retraction settings are you using with the speedy spider?

could you put this in the sprite extruder? like ok the s1 or s1 pro thanks s

Just installed Spider Speedy on my ender 5 plus
Stock setup
I plugged the extension cable between the thermostat to the backside of the printer “without soldering”.
Plugged the heater with the extension till the backside then soldered it.
I’m using Marlin FW
It is working great so far

With the old stock hotend I was suffering from temp runaway and clogging and fluctuations of temperature

Now I’m looking for the best way to update the firmware to 300 degrees
Any advice?

Nozzel came off and tightened with no issue. Where did you end up with your reaction setting with this HE on your E5+? I figured that it would be the same as my Microswiss but definitely not.

How is it printing 1 month later?

I'm confused about the design of this hotend. Does the heatsink really touch the ceramic heater or does it only look that way?

Hey, nice video! I recently upgraded my E5+ to this hotend. As you said it comes with a .4 and a .8 nozzle. Have you changed the nozzle after use? I am going to put a .6 on but am not sure where or if I need to hold with pliers while changing. With my other all metal ends I need to hold the block in place so it doesn't spin. Any tips?

Does Polarity matter on either cable?

Ha! Just built my 5+ today, installed Spider, metal extruder, and Capricorn bowden before even turning it on.

That was pointless. Your supposed to print at 400mm. 😅😅😅😅 let's see how fast it can print?

I’ve installed mine but after having near perfect prints on my stalk hotend this one I havnt gotten a single print nor does it adhere to my pei bedsheet

why not use a lighter? is this some weird don't touch it with an open flame stuff?

I just got mine - not sure how this will mount on a CR-10v3 that has the direct dive extruder... any ideas? Thank you!

Oddly they claim 250mm/s for Spider 2 300mm/s Speedy and surprisingly 400mm/s for Spider 3.0. - faster than the speedy!!!!

Know the wattage of the heater?

I’m running the Mriscoc FW, and it uses MPC, and while it claims to complete the auto tune, it sets everything to 0.000 and that prevents the hot end from working.

I tried adjusting wattage up, that seems to help the auto tune curve… Maybe.

Still haven’t gotten a completed run that actually gave settings.

Either way, I found some settings for a 65w hot end, that may work well enough to at least get working for now.

i would solder instead of the crimping but an excellent descripten of the mod
greetz from austria

is it 12V or 24v? I have a trusty CR10 and I would like to install it on.

Love the recommendation. I do not need the results, but the all metal design is something I really need to squeeze more life out of my ender 3 pro.

You didnt mention anything about thermistor settings? I installed this on my klipper build and I am having my printer disconnect over and over ever since installing it. I think it is because of my thermistor....

PID tuning on my ender 3 results in thermal runaway but if i just tell it to heat to 200 or 220 for that matter it will reach tempature and stabilize without thermal runaway. Is this a firmware bug? The tuning seems decent enough already right off the bat because the tempature stays within a degree or so. What are your thoughts? One thing i noticed too is that with my hotend once i tell it to heat up it will reach around 120 degrees in only about 5 seconds, in crealitys video showcasing the heatup time they too have their hotend heat to 120 degrees instantly and then they have a steady rise. With yours there seems to be no spike in tempature and just a steady increase the whole way through.

How does it wire into an older v1 cr10?

I'm experiencing heat creep with the Spider Speedy on my Ender 3. I don't know what's causing it.

I do appreciate your videos (Thumbs up) but you would get longer watch times and more views if you also included some results segments in these videos. I know that the videos would take longer, but I think the lifetime of the videos would be worth it.

Does the fan duct fit properly after swap to this extruder? I have impression the nozzle is a bit lower and air blows on it, not on the filament.Greate movie by the way.💪💪💪

I had a lot of issues with inaccurate temperature readings. I ended up sending it back. Did you have any of the same issues?
