  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 !

  @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.

  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.

  @admin said in CR-6 SE shuts down when trying to Preheat: If there is no multimeter, it is recommended to connect the nozzle heating wire to the output end of the hotbed and connect the nozzle thermistor to the hotbed thermistor to the hotbed thermistor. Please rewrite this sentence. It is way too confusing. Thanks.

  The Gcode files are in a subfolder. You will have to copy them to the main root folder in order to see them on the printer screen.

  Hi I was talking about this issue with Steve over on the Gambas One forums as I was getting this very same issue on my Ender 3. I have not upgraded the Firmware from what was installed in it from the factory. Going to my about page on the printer shows I'm running the following: Marlin Ver 1.0.1 2020-04-25 Ender-3 Extruders:1 Baudrate:115200 I have been writing a program to control my printer using the Gambas programming language and was perplexed by the response I was getting when sending an M155 S2. I kept getting the identical duplicate response that you described. I then tried running miniterm to see if there was something wrong with my program. miniterm reported the same duplication being sent from the printer so I knew it wasn't my software, but instead it was the printer. So then I went ahead and tried to snoop the communications between Cura and the printer as Cura monitors the temperatures. It turns out instead of sending a M155, they simply send a M105 every couple of seconds. M105 does report back properly. So I have since modified my Gambas program to send M105 every few seconds. This is unfortunately not a good fix as it does add a little extra traffic on communication port, but it seems to be the most reliable method. I could try and update the firmware, but unless I have a guarantee that the new version is fixed, I'm not going to risk upgrading to the wrong firmware and possibly bricking the printer. For it is currently working quite nicely with only this one minor (for me) issue.
