Summary

Since the stock Creality stepper motors don't have so much torque, in the Ender-5 the bed tends to be too much subject to gravity when the printer is off/the motors are not engaged.
This phenomenon gets worse if you print on glass (more mass).
So I made this simple 5mm raiser to be able to install another motor with more torque.

What I used for this little mod:

  • 1* 17HS4401 motor (which I had around).
  • 4 * M3x6 screws (the stock frame screws were ok and the mount is solid but the motor screws were a little too big so I used those)
