Why do you want this upgrade?
The Ender 5 Plus has a touchscreen from the factory. This may look pretty with its color graphics but you’re missing out on a lot of control and features (like live Z adjustment) by using the stock screen. When you add this to your Ender 5 Plus you get access to the FULL LCD menu system available on our Unified 2 Firmware (built on Marlin) with no limitations. You get more control over the BLTouch sensor that comes on the printer and you can even upgrade to our EZABL if you’re not happy with the stock BLTouch.
Running an aftermarket board? This kit works with the stock control board (V2.X version) and with our EZBoard products. If you have an EZBoard and did not purchase the Dual Cable LCD adapter board you will also need that added on (see above) to use this kit with our EZBoard.
Also works with the following 3rd party 32-bit boards when you add on the Dual Cable LCD adapter board (addon above)
- Creality V4.2.7 – Firmware: Creality Ender 5 Plus Firmware – V4.2.7 Board – TH3D Studio Help Center – (BLTouch requires 10-pin Extension Cable)
- BTT SKR E3 Mini V1 – Firmware: Creality Ender 5 Plus Firmware – SKR E3 Mini V1/V1.2/V2 Board – TH3D Studio Help Center
- BTT SKR E3 Mini V1.2 – Firmware: Creality Ender 5 Plus Firmware – SKR E3 Mini V1/V1.2/V2 Board – TH3D Studio Help Center
- BTT SKR E3 Mini V2 – Firmware: Creality Ender 5 Plus Firmware – SKR E3 Mini V1/V1.2/V2 Board – TH3D Studio Help Center

Will this work with Klipper?
Yes, these LCDs and the stock board are supported by Klipper firmware. However, due to the complexity of Klipper, our technical support that is included does NOT apply if you are using Klipper firmware. Technical support only applies when you are using our Unified 2 Firmware package that is included.
Design Note: Housing design may be slightly different than shown in the pictures and/or videos as we make improvements to the design as we get feedback from customers.

An absolute must to unlock the features of the Ender 5 Plus. The stock touch screen is junk and prevents you from doing something as simple as an M600.
I installed this with my new EZBoard. I had to reverse both of the ribbon cables, but that’s it. It works perfectly and matches the printer as well!
How do you set up the firmware on IDE with the new firmware? The link above is not found.
This is a very nice kit! It easy to set up and the firmware is easy to compile with VS code. I have to say you weren’t kidding about how much functionality I’ve been missing with the default touch screen.
The amount of feedback on this screen is just what I wanted.
Satisfied customer.
The LCD works as advertised.
