apart and cleaned, wiring checked and the printer put back together.<\/p>\n    <p class=\"lede\">This Creality Ender 5 Pro came in with a hot-end fault. We checked what the printer screen reported, measured the hot-end wires with a multimeter, took the hot-end apart and traced the wiring back to the mainboard. The broken thermistor was replaced, the hot-end cleaned and refitted, and the printer tested before it went back. The whole repair is in the video below.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"specs\">\n      <div><div class=\"spec-v\">Ender 5 Pro<\/div><div class=\"spec-l\">Creality 3D printer<\/div><\/div>\n      <div><div
