In the last few years 3D printers have become blisteringly fast, pushing the limits of both heating and cooling while leaving those of us with printers like the Ender 5 feeling a bit left out of the fun. That ends now. Your Ender 5 is capable of being every bit as fast as a Voron without the hefty price tag. There have been [other](https://zerog.one) CoreXY [projects](https://www.printables.com/model/169131-ender-5-core-xy-with-linear-rails-mk3) to do a full conversion on the Ender 5, but often the price of parts or the complexity of the build makes it hard to justify over just buying something pre-built like a Bambulab P1P.

**The Endorphin is different.** With a build you can do in an afternoon and parts that total less than $25, you no longer have any excuses *not* to turn Ender 5 into a speed demon. The difference is in the kinematic design.

These two center idlers are the reason we're using ones with a 3mm bore throughout the project rather than the more common 5mm bore. Because we're making use of two of the stepper mounting holes on the original X stepper plate to hold the axles for the idlers. These holes are only large enough to use M3 screws as axles, hence the 3mm bore pulleys.

1. Remove the old X belt if you haven't already

1. Place the bottom center-idler plate on top of the carriage (the bottom plate is the one without the hexagon holes)

1. Insert two M3 hex nuts into the top idler plate and place on top of the pulleys

1. Drive two M3x25 screws from the underside, passing through the holes original steel plate and then through our stack of new parts, finally threading into the hex nuts in the top center-idler plate
