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 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 CenterĀ – (BLTouch requires 10-pin Extension Cable)
- BTT SKR E3 Mini V1Ā – Firmware: Creality Ender 5 Plus Firmware – SKR E3 Mini V1/V1.2/V2 Board – TH3D Studio Help Center

Cary Moriarty –
Does this work with the creality silent board? It is preconfigured with firmware for the board.
Thanks

This LCD will work with the V2.2.1 board that Creality sells for the 5 Plus and our firmware works with that board as well. It takes the same firmware as the V2.X boards.

Will this upgraded control allow me to set hotend temperature higher than the standard 260 degrees? – I have added an all metal hotend and epcos thermistor and need to be able to print around 280 for PC blend filament

Could display from a cr-10 or cd-10s be used?

Not with our kit. The housing only fits the standard 12864 LCD. We should have some in stock next week š

I am considering buying this upgrade kit, but the “Add on Dual Cable LCD adapter board” needed for my Ender 5 Plus is shown as out-of-stock. When will this item be back in stock?

Tim Hoogland –
Unfortunately due to supply chain issues we cannot guarantee any ETAs. But we have more in production right now so hopefully in a few weeks. You can add it to your wish list to get an email when its in stock. Or you can place a backorder if you wish.

Question

I have an Ender 5 Plus with the stock board and LCD. It doesn’t support GCODE commands like M117 and M300. Does this upgrade kit add this functionality? Is there a full list somewhere of the features that the upgraded LCD supports?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
Our firmware is Marlin and supports all those commands you are missing. We do not have a list of what commands Creality has removed but we are running Marlin on the backend of our firmware so you’ll get access to all the Marlin Gcode commands that are enabled in our firmware, plus access to the source code to add more on if you want to.

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.

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!

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.
