Ender 5 suitable for ABS / HIPS printing?

[curious aardvark]

why am I against ender 3's ?

take a look around the forum. In the last 12 months we've had more posts about problems with ender 3 than ALL other printers combined.
And we're just one forum !

Plus they looked at all the best design features of josef prusa's I3 and said: 'Nah, we don't need any of that stuff - let's just have one central bed support, one z axis motor and a bowden based extruder.'
It might be suitable for an experienced user - but it's absolutely NOT suited for a beginner and definitely should never be a first printer for anyone.

On top of that, they do seem to have a lot of quality control issues and I've yet to hear of anyone who's had a positive experience with creality's 'support'.

It's a bad design, it's made with poor components and the manufacturer doesn't appear to give a crap.

Okay with a fair bit of work and modifications you can make it work.
But a first printer shouldn't need to be re-built to work.
