This good quality Shrine of Azura shows a wonderful design and decent smooth surfaces. The minor layers add depth and detail to the whole shape. You can find the Shrine by traveling South of Winterhold, but be careful, a dragon might be waiting for you.

In this example, the visible layers printed at 0.12mm height add mood to the whole scene well-representing the skin of the dragon. It is the perfect Easter Egg, isn’t it?

Print quality

The Creality Ender-5 is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use. The print head freely moves on the X and Y axes providing high velocity and optimal performances.

Look at this lighthouse. The layers went down so smooth.

The Creality Ender-5 has one nozzle of 0.4 mm in diameter, giving you the best balance between speed and detail.

The print head runs on rails, which makes printing reliable, fast and precise. The dual Y-axis engine drives simultaneously both sides of the gantry providing smoother movements and even more reliability.

Materials

Creality Ender-5 prints with PLA, ABS, TPU, WOOD, COPPER and other exotic materials. 

The MK10 extruder reduces the risks of filament jamming. It also comes with a fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.

The Creality Ender-5 has a magnetic heated print bed, which makes it suitable for printing with ABS-type materials.

To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosed print chamber. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
