The Creality Ender 5 Max is one of the largest and most capable desktop 3D printers on the market, offering a massive 400×400×400 mm build volume and a robust metal frame. It’s a favorite among makers who want to bring big ideas to life — from architectural models to large cosplay props. However, there’s one limitation that even such a powerful printer can’t overcome on its own: multi-color 3D printing.
Why Multi-Color Printing Matters?
By default, the Ender 5 Max is equipped with a single extruder and cannot switch between multiple filaments automatically. This means your prints are limited to a single color unless you manually swap filaments mid-print — a tedious and time-consuming task.
That’s where Co Print’s KCM Set comes in. Designed specifically for Klipper-based printers, it transforms your Ender 5 Max into a fully automated multi-color printing system with support for up to 8 filaments.
Upgrade Your Ender 5 Max with Co Print KCM Set
The KCM Set replaces the limitations of single-filament printing with seamless, synchronized color transitions. Available in 4-color ($289) and 8-color ($389) versions, it integrates directly with Klipper firmware for precise filament management and stable performance.
- ✅ Compatible with Klipper firmware
- ✅ Works perfectly with large printers like Ender 5 Max
- ✅ Smooth automatic filament switching via filament cutter in ChromaHead
- ✅ Expandable ecosystem with ECM modules (up to 20 colors)
- ✅ Access to detailed setup guides on the Co Print Wiki
Why It’s Perfect for Ender 5 Max
Because the Ender 5 Max already offers a large build area, pairing it with multi-color capabilities unlocks enormous creative potential. You can now print:
- 🎨 Multi-colored figurines and artistic models
- 🏙️ Detailed architectural prototypes with color separation
- 🧩 Functional parts with visual indicators
- 🏠 Interior décor and display pieces with stunning color gradients
-
When printing a single multi-color model, waste is relatively high. However, when multiple multi-color models are printed on the same build plate, the amount of waste remains nearly the same — yet you get a full plate of finished parts.
The total print time also stays almost the same.
How to Get Started
- Ensure your Ender 5 Max is running Klipper firmware.
- Mount the ChromaHead using the provided bracket or printable adapter.
- Connect 4 or 8 CX-I Extruders to the KCM unit.
- Update your
printer.cfgand restart Klipper. - Load filament colors, slice your model, and start printing!
Conclusion
With Co Print’s KCM Set, your Creality Ender 5 Max becomes a professional-grade multi-color printer — without needing to buy an entirely new machine. Experience vibrant, efficient, and synchronized color printing that brings your biggest projects to life.
