Although it is a rather unpopular type of universal serial bus plug, your machine most probably included one. Otherwise, that boring plain printer (paper, not 3D), almost definitely uses one which you can borrow for a while.

You’ll be using the MicroUSB port on the controller board (exposed through the casing), which connects the to the controller chip using a serial port. If your computer doesn’t recognise the USB to serial port hardware (this is a single chip on the mainboard) you’ll need to know which driver to install. Step 5 explains how to open up the printer control box and inspect the mainboard. I started the rebuild, which took about 4 hours and then the fun started. The Official Ender 5 PRO (8 bit) page’s Creality Ender 5 PRO Firmware just did not want to do the Z-offset properly.
It is possible that the game will have up to 160 different machines that will switch between textures. Some of these toggles can be found in the SCS Blender Wiki guide.
