I got one of these Sonicpads for Christmas and it has been amazing. not having to constantly swap the micro sd alone was half the value for me. but the speed boost out of the box was really cool and I frequently boost the print speed to 200% with no issues on my ender 3 v2.
I have an Ender 5 Pro that I haven’t used for ages, have been looking at all the X1C, K1 Max and K2 a lot recently. Anyway, I just ordered a Sonic pad to get it back up and running after watching this instead of just buying a Bambu or K1, as I’d rather not let the Ender 5 go to waste! I’ll probably get a K2 later in the year for the multifilament support and larger build volume.
Yeah I used mine for about a month and was super annoyed that it scratched so easily but there was a plastic film on the screen that I never noticed. The screen itself actually seems to be glass and looks much better once the plastic film comes off. Mine was practically invisible, couldn't tell it was on there.
I'm having a Ender 3 V2 with a sonic pad and since this week, a P1P. Honestly said, the P1P takes the cake. I've been a creality-fan for a long time, but BambuLabs has taken over. The Ender does a very good job, no doubt about it, but the P1P does a better job in a much shorter amount of time. The Sonic Pad is a great addition to the Ender and speeds it up and improves the printquality, but again, the P1P wins again.
Oh definitely It does speed up the printers but it can't speed them up to the speeds of the P1P. I can see using the Sonic pad on existing hardware to speed it up a bit and get some more life out of it before having to upgrade. And with all the companies now racing to compete with bambu lab. I foresee seeing a lot more printers coming out very soon with specs similar to the P1P and X1 carbon.
I doubt if there will be similar printers soon, like the P1P/X1. What I think is a very big plus for the Sonic Pad, is that it can manage multiple printers (also non-creality) from 1 screen, to a limit of 4. To my opinion, that's a big advantage, looking to other systems. So in theory, you can "enhance" 4 printers and control them too.
what is the best printer under the bambu P1P? i am a beginner i am looking for 2 weeks now but stil cant choose what printer i like to buy. mabu 1p1 price is to high for my as beginner thx let me know what you think
@@itzmemaariocleantaps8201 Start with a cheap bedslinger and learn to tinker with it. That way you save some money if you damage something and trust me, you will. After a couple of month/year, start thinking about a new one like the K1, newest prusa or bambu labs. This last one is also rather idiotproof for beginners in my experience.
Yeah I was going to do that later on but the profiles built into Masonic pad already have some sort of input shaping already done. After moving it on to the ground it looks like it took care of a lot of those ringing problems. Seeing that the table I was printing on is not very sturdy. 😁
I'm a bit late to this video, but figured it's worth mentioning here that as of January 2024, the E5S1 can be had for as low as 299 at Microcenter as of this comment, and the SonicPad for ~130. With an afternoon of tuning, i've found the built in profile has accelerations at 5k, but my specimen can handle upwards of 8k with no degradation in quality. (As to quality, Bambu firmware has also improved over the past 10 months too, so the tradeoffs get muddier). If you want a turn-key printer, it's Bambu. If you enjoy the tinkering and tuning, that's Ender's bread and butter. Both are good buys if they fit your needs/budget. I have the E5S1 sitting beside my X1C. Both are in constant use, and both are churning out quality prints.
Haha I did the same thing on the sonic pad I got it saw all the scratching on it after a week. Then seen a youtube video that said it had a protector on the glass screen for shipment Thanks Creality for making the plastic film invisible. 😂
Hi again, I am interested in printing the supports you made to place the pad as you did, but I sliced one of the lateral supports and Cura says it will take around 4hrs, and in your video says you did it in almost 2 hrs. Any suggestions to improve the time? Although, I am not yet using the sonic pad, I guess that may be a cause.
Yeah I was already using the Sonic pad when I did that print. And kira sat around the same time for me as well but with the sonic pad setup and going you could see in the video how long it took and those are all pretty much standard settings or the default settings in draft mode so the 0.28 mm layer height
Thanks for the video and info. Have the X1c and don't use my other enders as much now but looking at the sonic pad to help reduce the run times.If you remove the sonic pad is the original firmware still on the printer stock board? if not is here a way to back up the original and reload it?
All you have to do is save the Merlin firmware on a SD card put it into the machine (with the correct configuration from Creality) then turn on said machine. It will install the new firmware and will be back up and running. I had to do this a few time with my Ender 3 Neo (Non V2) because creality still hasn't created a profile for that machine yet. it took me about 3 weeks to find the right klipper language to talk with the Neo. It is now running and will be getting my S1 Plus is about a week to run them both on klipper and the sonic pad.
The Ender 5 S1 is now around €200 here at the moment in Europe. Which seems to be a verry sharp price for this machine then. Even thinking buying 2 of them now.
Feels like a missed opportunity to truly test the limits of these machines. Who cares about a 15 minute calibration cube when my stock bed-slinging cr10 Smart Pro does it with Marlin? The whole point of Klipper is that you can let any machine loose without much loss of quality, yet you've managed to run the 5 s1 at slower speeds than it can achieve out of the box.
Understandable criticism. Honestly I just don't have weeks to spend doing trial and error on something for one video. For the most part I show a lot of what the out of the box experience is like and if it does anything without doing tons of tuning. And just adding the Sonic pad to this printer did speed it up quite a bit. I do like 3D printing and I use it as a tool but I don't really care to get into the super fine details of tuning something to its maximum potential. I mostly just use the printers to make designs that I have created for prototyping or for production. 😅👍
@@randymay Different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with that. I guess seeing " Ender 5 S1 is MUCH FASTER with a Sonic Pad" in the title is what created a certain set of expectations and I felt disappointed that they weren't met. Otherwise good video, good sound, camera work and lighting. P.S For someone designing/prototyping the speed may matter even more than for someone making production-ready prints, since there can be dozens of small changes before something is ready for production and you just don't have all day to wait on the new iteration to finish printing.
Hey thanks for the coupon code! B&H had the ED5S1 for $399 but the Sonic is $170. I just ordered off Creality with your coupon for $511 sweet deal! Thanks! I have two Flashforge printers now and I've been looking for a faster open source printer to add to my lineup so I can crank out PLA prints. Really excited about the new set up.
@@randymay you bet. Have you tested out smaller nozzles and smaller extrusion widths with it yet? I'm wondering how it is with detail at slower speeds and say a 0.2 nozzle. I ordered a set of 5 different size nozzles from Micro Swiss as well.
I haven't messed with any smaller nozzles on this printer and 0.4 is really as small as I will go on a FDM printer. To me it's just not worth the extra time to bet smaller layers. If anything I go up in size to 0.6 or even 0.8 so print larger things faster. If you are looking for small part printing with fine details you might want to look into resin printing. Resin printing can also be my h faster and you can print at 0.05 layers
@@randymay I've been collaborating with my vinyl ghapics company and doing business cards. QR codes and logos. Currently I use my FF Adventurer 3 and a 0.3 nozzle and get pretty good results. It's more horizontal detail not vertical so I keep layers at 0.2mm but extrusion width currently at 0.18mm. I get very good results and can turn out a card in about 1.5 hrs. I may look into resin at some point but for now I'm going to test the limits of the ED5S1. I'll let you know how that goes too.
Oh ok that makes more sense. I see a lot of people getting printers like this wanting to make highly detailed miniatures and to me it just doesn't make sense to do when resin is much faster, cleaner and easier. But what you are doing makes total sense.
I dunno, at that price with all the modifications, I feel like at this stage it's just better to bite the bullet and get flsun v400, it's just too good out of the box
Yeah that is definitely an option. At the same time the bambu lab P1P pretty much just worked right out of the box and set up only took about 15 to 20 minutes. So it's all really going to depend on what printer you want.
I'm still relatively new to 3D printing and I got this so that I can send things straight to the printer without the SD Card. I have had issues with the temp I set and slice reverting to a preset on the Sonic Pad. My last print also seemed to stop pushing out filament but kept moving through the print as if filament was still coming out. I check it and it wasn't clogged. Anybody seen this or know of a solution?
I am running into so many issues right now and I just got the ender 5 s1 sonic pad bundle, there were bed leveling issues and then I have restored to factory settings and recalibrated and Switched out the usb-c cable and it still stops mid print and keeps giving the Klippy shutdown error due to disconnect from mcu, I tried to reset my 3D printer so I can use it with out the Sonic pad and it won’t, when I flashed the firmware to use only the 3D printer and I hit the reheat, the printer Reboots and loops in restarting so it won’t heat if I try to not use the sonic pad
Yeah the K1 is definitely a bit better than the enter 5 s1 with the Sonic pad but at the same time it does have some problems and I'll have a video out on the K1 in probably a few hours.
It's on a table that's on wheels that is not stable whatsoever so any movement is going to move those around. Also just because it has the input shaping doesn't mean that it doesn't put vibrations through the machine.
When I put a file from cura on the USB thumb drive it does not read it. Is there a certain way or file I need to use to print from the USB drive? Thank you.
@@randymayI tried all three open ports on the Sonic Pad. No matter what port I try, nothing comes up in the list. I have tried three Sonic Pad's and sent them back, thinking something was wrong. Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thank you for writing me back.

Great showcase and awesome mount for the pad! This year is going to be crazy for 3D Printing. So many options.
Thanks and yeah definitely there's going to be a lot of interesting printers coming out this year. 😁

That's good to hear and yeah it really does speed up the printer without your having to really do anything
Very informative Thank You

I have an Ender 5 Pro that I haven’t used for ages, have been looking at all the X1C, K1 Max and K2 a lot recently. Anyway, I just ordered a Sonic pad to get it back up and running after watching this instead of just buying a Bambu or K1, as I’d rather not let the Ender 5 go to waste!
I’ll probably get a K2 later in the year for the multifilament support and larger build volume.
You can flip the screen in settings.
Yeah I used mine for about a month and was super annoyed that it scratched so easily but there was a plastic film on the screen that I never noticed. The screen itself actually seems to be glass and looks much better once the plastic film comes off. Mine was practically invisible, couldn't tell it was on there.
That is very good to know and I will have to take that off ASAP haha

I may look into resin at some point but for now I'm going to test the limits of the ED5S1. I'll let you know how that goes too.
Oh ok that makes more sense. I see a lot of people getting printers like this wanting to make highly detailed miniatures and to me it just doesn't make sense to do when resin is much faster, cleaner and easier. But what you are doing makes total sense.
I dunno, at that price with all the modifications, I feel like at this stage it's just better to bite the bullet and get flsun v400, it's just too good out of the box
Yeah that is definitely an option. At the same time the bambu lab P1P pretty much just worked right out of the box and set up only took about 15 to 20 minutes. So it's all really going to depend on what printer you want.
I'm still relatively new to 3D printing and I got this so that I can send things straight to the printer without the SD Card. I have had issues with the temp I set and slice reverting to a preset on the Sonic Pad. My last print also seemed to stop pushing out filament but kept moving through the print as if filament was still coming out. I check it and it wasn't clogged. Anybody seen this or know of a solution?
Did you ever figure out the answer to your problem?
I am running into so many issues right now and I just got the ender 5 s1 sonic pad bundle, there were bed leveling issues and then I have restored to factory settings and recalibrated and Switched out the usb-c cable and it still stops mid print and keeps giving the Klippy shutdown error due to disconnect from mcu, I tried to reset my 3D printer so I can use it with out the Sonic pad and it won’t, when I flashed the firmware to use only the 3D printer and I hit the reheat, the printer Reboots and loops in restarting so it won’t heat if I try to not use the sonic pad
Did you contact Creality support about this problem?
Good thingI waited for the K1
Yeah the K1 is definitely a bit better than the enter 5 s1 with the Sonic pad but at the same time it does have some problems and I'll have a video out on the K1 in probably a few hours.
@@randymay Yes, it has issues, they sent me another hotend, the new hotend has a bolt-in heater not soldered anymore
Why is your machine shaking with the sonic pad?
It's on a table that's on wheels that is not stable whatsoever so any movement is going to move those around. Also just because it has the input shaping doesn't mean that it doesn't put vibrations through the machine.
5:44 not fair comparison, the left is printed with 0.3mm layer height, the right one with 0.2mm.
What was printed at 0.3mm layers?
@@randymay the calibration cube on P1P (the cube on the left side)
I thought I used the default settings at 0.2mm for both.
WHAT?!? Stickers!!!!! You have to use them!
Lol
It comes with a screen protector in the Box check everything I almost lost mine too
Question for anyone out there with an Ender 5 S1 and Sonic pad.
Does using the sonic pad mean I definitely will not use the Ender´s screen anymore?
Yeah the screen no longer works at all after the install. You will have to reflash it back to stock firmware to get the screen to working again.
@@randymay I kinda figured that out the bad way hehe. Though I wanted to check with more people.
Thanks man! Happy printing!
I have an ender 5 s1 without the z switch will it still work and be faster ?
It should and there is an option in the sonic pad for that printer
@@randymay I found it thank you
@randymay I installed the sonic pad but it still takes over an hour to print a benchy it doesn't seem like it's any faster
@@Silentdeath1194 What is your print speed set to?
100% I'm a noob where do I check that
Bump
Whats with rhe super sonic talking speed.. do you need to pee?😊😊
Slow down the video and I will sound drunk 👍
@@randymay hahaha 😆
When I put a file from cura on the USB thumb drive it does not read it. Is there a certain way or file I need to use to print from the USB drive? Thank you.
Are you plugging it into the Sonic Pad or the printer?
@@randymayI tried all three open ports on the Sonic Pad. No matter what port I try, nothing comes up in the list. I have tried three Sonic Pad's and sent them back, thinking something was wrong. Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thank you for writing me back.
It comes with a screen protector in the Box I was surprised I found it by mistake
I will have to check for that. Thanks 👍
@@randymay Its a piece os cheap plastic on the screen. You didnt scratch the glass
Where's the screen protector?
@@CB_agotchi on the screen 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@CB_agotchi Mine was in a plastic bag with the paperwork. I almost threw it away.
