  • I got an Orbiter 1.5 extruder and have been quite happy about it since. These days you’d be better off getting an Orbiter 2. As for the toolhead, there should be Ender 5 compatible mounts available on Printables or Thingiverse, if not you could design your own.

    Creality also has its own direct drive, the Sprite Pro. That may be worth looking in to as well.

    You can import a STEP model of both the Ender 5 and whatever mod you want to make to it and model your toolhead around it, that is what I did with the Mercury One project.

    Nice, that is indeed what I meant. Recently I’ve designed a new toolhead for a 3D printer but have just used blower fans and fan ducts like any other toolhead but while designing I wondered if more weight/volume could be removed without losing functionality.

    That there is precedence makes me want to design another version of the toolhead.
