  Why are some of the prices so much higher than on vip.creality.com? Carborundum Glass Platform, and replacement LCD are both like twice the price.

  CR-6 SE New Firmware Update 24th Nov

  I bought my CR-6 SE printer in the fall and had a need to do some out-of-the-box printing straightaway. While it worked for the small footprint objects I was printing, the Z-axis homing and offset was inconsistent so I had to be careful about rechecking between every print. After searching about this phenomenon I came across this forum thread and it seemed to address what was by all accounts a firmware upgrade need. After studying the thread thoroughly I finally got around to doing the firmware upgrade. I have to thank all those who came before me working out the kinks in the "documentation" and process; as they say, "standing on the shoulders of giants". I used the 8 GB SD card (reformatted to 32K to 4K allocation size) that came with the printer to perform the main board firmware update. I managed to scrounge a 4 GB microSD card (also reformatted to 4K) for the display firmware update. Both worked the first time through the upgrade process. As indicated in a number of places, I do wish Creality would be more consistent in labeling the firmware package version information. Now the Z-axis homing and offset are consistent, at least as many times as I rechecked it from various random offsets. I also had to perform a Z-axis bed leveling to take out the skew across the bed. I found a video that indicated loosening one of the Z-axis pulley screws at the top and tweaking the lead screw will adjust the gross Z-axis offset across the center of the plate. The adjustment was a little tedious but doable and I got it very close by eye. It's a little off along the front and back edges of the plate, but now I hope the auto-leveling will have an easier time compensating for fine adjustments. Thanks for al the information and experience provided in this thread.

  @HVJ17 +1 I agree, faulty power switches should be replaced by sending new ones by Creality team.

  A question that has not been answered here still is this: is ABL on without an explicit M420 S1 command ? There's lots of warning in the marlin firmware documentation that a G28 disables auto-bed-leveling and you need to turn it back on afterwards.. i'm getting mixed messages about whether it is required in the preamble G-code for your slicer. Would appreciate advice here from either the community or @admin !

  How to switch to CURA 4.7

  @Sonics99 said in How to switch to CURA 4.7: Thanks, I was wondering about this and if it was a smooth transition to go to 4.8. Were you just able to do an inplace upgrade? Not ncbob but I had some snags w/ Cura trying to migrate settings, so ended up clearing the Cura user data folder after installation and starting fresh. Have been using 4.8 beta since it dropped and results have been very good.

  I had exactly the same problem after upgrading firmware to 2.0.1.3 Red light turns off when I put something in the z-axis sensor (proper), blue light turns on when I put pressure against extruder (proper), trying to return to the home position makes extruder to try and break through the printing bed (improper). The reason was – incorrect firmware. I have installed firmware for motherboard 4.5.3 but mine motherboard, as I found out later, is actually 4.5.2. Reinstalling the proper firmware fixed everything (except some marks in the center of printing bed). Here's how to figure out which motherboard version you have. https://secureservercdn.net/192.169.223.13/i6h.45f.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/default_attachments/1609596985-MOBO.png

  Printer head won’t level / touch bed

  Hi, were you able to fix this? I am having the same problem of the printer not touching the bed when leveling or auto-home. But the first time the head goes down, it works, the pressure sensor is okay. Then the head goes up and down again like always, but the second time it does not touch the bed and tries to return to zero. But this never works until there is an error 202 homing failed. I got the latest firmware btw and the pressure sensor works just right. @admin said in Printer head won’t level / touch bed: Dear @adamk4679 It may be that the pressure-sensitive line is loose, please remove the nozzle fan cover and re-plug the pressure-sensitive line. Please refer to the tutorial to refresh the motherboard firmware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKIfwPgN0qs&feature=youtu.be CR-6SE - V1.0.2.bin

  This is with 85A shore hardness NinjaFlex: Settings: Extrusion settings: 0.2mm layer height, 0.4mm width, 1.2x extrusion multiplier (120% flow if using Cura) Slicing: 3 perimeters (walls if using Cura), 3 solid top and bottom layers, 10% infill. Disable filling of small gaps. Speed: 20mm/s print speed, 15mm/s for outermost perimeter, 50mm/s movements. Temps: 230°C hotend, 45°C bed Feeding the filament is a bit tricky, even with a printed guide between the filament sensort and the extruder, but using a lighter or torch to melt the head of the filament stiffens it a bit and makes it pretty easy to get into the bowden tube. Once it's in the tube the extruder does a good job and the filament doesn't get misaligned or bunched. With a heavy spool it might have trouble rotating the spool, moving the spool from the plastic holder onto some bearings on a filament stand solved this for me.

  My new unit is the same - dead! No red light on power switch, no images on display panel, no noises, no movement, etc. Just opened and assembled yesterday. Sounds like the power switch is a typical culprit. Should I just return it??

  @Backer8288 If you follow the wiring harness to it's origin, you'll find the motherboard. I don't know your exact printer but if it's powered like the Ender3 or 5 series, the bottom of the power supply is held on with 4 screws, remove them (hold onto the plate, the fan wire is connected to the motherboard) and you need to unplug it before completely removing the bottom plate) and the motherboard is in there. No idea why your bed heat runs away like that. I'm new to 3D printing/printers myself. Had a small issue with my Ender 5 firmware but got it going and I really like the printer now that I've worked out the bugs and gotten it set up right. Poor customer support around here though. Good luck.

  After months of operating the SD Card reader in our CR-6 SE is no longer working reliably. We formatted to Fat16 and used a smaller 2GB card with filenames no longer than 16 characters. Doesn't matter at all. Seems the contacts start to lose reliability. May open it up and attack the contacts with contact cleaner.
