Up for sale is a Creality Ender 5Plus 3D Printer BL Touch Screen w/Auto Leveling Sensor Kit with extra large print volume: 350mmx350mmx400mm (13.8" x 13.8" x 15.75").

I bought this printer last holiday season, but was not able to set it up / work with it until the summer of 2023. I have put in 6-month's worth of spare time and weekends into attempting and failing to get it working flawlessly. I decided to throw in the towel and sell it. I have completed a handful of successful small prints with it, but continue to have issues to perfect the auto-leveling. The primary problem is that I cannot level it completely. I even got Creality to replace my hotbed after discovering it was severely warped. However this issue persisted after replacement and I am at a loss of what to do next. The leveling remains a few millimeters off.

All the individual parts function as they should. The few times when this printer did work, it did so just fine. The only damaged parts are the factory glass board, and one of the Creality PEI boards, both of which have their scratches photographed. The nozzle scratched the boards when I was trying to level it. On a side note, I have printed over the scratched area just fine, but I have to disclose it is still a damaged product.

Printed examples were done with Creality PLA (just for testing proving it works - quality was set to DRAFT quality)
