r/Creality

Okay im resorting to Reddit because im tired of buying bew unicorn nozzles for the Hi im doing intricate designs on some prints that require a .2 nozzle and for some reason they always get clogged and when i push the noclogger through it it doesnt really work i did a cold pull and got most of it out but theres still some attached to the sides and idk what else to do to clean up the plastic (Its Pla btw) .Its Stressing me out atp

I need help with some settings to run Creality Hyper PLA-CF Black from my Creality K1C. I can’t seem to get this one to print right. I have the dryer and dried this stuff for 8 hours and I just have had a hard time to get this stuff to work for me.

I just dusted off a cr-10 v3 that has been in storage for a while. I was able to power it up and preheat the end and bed. I was also able to run through the filament change and home with no issue so I know the heating elements and motors are all good. However, when I go to "print from tf" and select a file, it gets to "heating done" then just sits there and doesn't start printing.

I checked the card on my laptop and was able to read the files with no issue.

any ideas what might be wrong? I know that's probably not much to go on, so how do I troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!

I've been managing to spend more time with the max recently, another project is close to getting tied up so my adhd brain is seeking dopamine again lol

Had to do a lot of hand-patching to get this to compile, but I've learned a fair bit which is priceless.

So Creality ship their printers with a 'it works' philosophy, the code klipper runs on is mainly generic, no fancy stuff, easy to compile, easy to release updates you get it (hopefully)

This is what happens when you create a program (for want of a better word) that uses all of the brain that it's meant to run on. I remade python and numpy (needed for a lot of math calculations on a printer) and this is the performance difference.

No overclock, stock cpu settings, this performance has always been there, just not being used, it's free.

The reason why i've done these sorts of things and others like Doom and a Media player on the Max is it's quite sad when people say the K1 series are weak, barely able to run klipper, moaning basically, I'd just like to prove that with a little bit of work the X2000 cpu is quite a little beast.

Anyway, this is the difference, enhanced files VS stock files. If my math is correct its around a 40X speedup, no overclocking, no hacks just using a chip with its full capabilities (tbf there's a bit more on the table)

Tldr Stock does the math in 150 seconds, fancy shizz does the math in 3.5.

This is a bit like gaming on a pc, Stock the Max is using an IGPU, unlocking everything is like adding a GPU to to the same pc if that makes sense?

Anyway, gonna leave it for tonight, just thought I'd share what the Ingenic X2000 chip can do when properly utilised :)

I’m having some troubles with really most slicers other than Bambu Studios right now. I updated Orcaslicer to the newest version and now my filament options are VERY narrow. Generic filaments like Generic PLA and Generic TPU are listed as unsupported and it only wants me to select filament that’s the same brand as the printer. Is this just a new thing or do I have a setting messed up? Thanks!

I got a firmware update prompt on my printer saying something like “there’s a firmware update available, do you want to install it?” I clicked yes, and since then it hasn’t worked at all.

The weird part is that the update was from 2024, so its not even something new. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to fix it or roll back the firmware?

I'm on orca 2.3.2, I have a k2 combo and I have the port as 4408, host is octo/kipper and agent is orca. Iv tryed changing the host the creality as well and it does the same thing. Anyone know a fix?

I was thinking of buying the filament maker from Creality, but was hesitant about buying the shredder as it might be too much. is there a better alternative to the filament shredder that works for most filaments? (preferably PLA and PETG)

Hey,

I wanted to ask you guys if you are having the similar problem.

Currently I am not able to get a good leveling, so at some points the head is too far or too close to the printbed. It is very inconsistent.

I think I tried everything that is possible that could fix the problem (flow rat, z offset, cleaning the bed, cleaning the nozzle, using another filament, ...).
I usually print with PLA or ABS, and the problem seems to be especially on ABS. Maybe because of the higher print bed temperatures? But I don't know what to do anymore.

Thanks for answers in advance :)

Trying to get as smooth a surface as possible. This is not smooth. What am I doing wrong?

Creality Ender-5 Max running Hyper PLA, nozzle @ 220°, bed @ 45°.

Does turning on "Precise Wall" help this? Is my Z offset wrong?

Hi everyone! I need help with my Creality Halot R6. I tried to update the firmware and now it's stuck on the Creality boot screen and won't go further. I've already tried:

- Reflashing via USB drive (FAT32, file in root)

- Connecting to PC via USB to use PhoenixSuit (FEL mode)

- Contacting Creality support with no response

The mainboard says "R528 MIPI MAINBOARD" (Allwinner R528 SoC).

I need the firmware in .img format compatible with PhoenixSuit/FEL mode to reflash it, or any other method that has worked for someone in the same situation.

Has anyone successfully recovered a bricked Halot R6? Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙏

I currently have an ender 3s1, I'm looking at a new printer with multi color. initially was looking at ender 3v4 combo but now I'm confused between the 3v4, sparkx, and the hi. they're all combos for $400 on crealitys website and not much info on differences. any input would be appreciated!
