Enclosed Ender 5 for high temp filaments - Part 1

The cube frame of the Creality Ender 5 makes it almost ideal for converting into an enclosed 3D printer for printing ABS, nylon and polycarbonate. In part one of this series, I fit a range of parts to achieve this goal. These mods don't require any firmware changes and some are free.

All of the basics are in place, so in the next part I will change the mainboard and implement a heated chamber. I'll also try and enclose the top to prevent the heat from escaping. Suggestions are very welcome for that one!

Many Ender 5 upgrades are the same as th Ender 3, please see the referenced videos below.
