  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.

  How to autolevel?

  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.

  @MaxS said in CR-6 SE autolevel keeps pressing printhead in the middle: @Kohen said in CR-6 SE autolevel keeps pressing printhead in the middle: My CR6-SE has some trouble. When trying to autolevel it moves the x and y properly. Then it moves to the middle of the bed and start to lower the printhead The sensor on the left (lamp) turns off and the head still keeps going down Then it presses on the headbed and keeps pushing till you turn off the power... Even if I remove the plate it still keeps going on and on. Turing the CR6-SE on And placing a metal piece between the sensor on the left the led turns off When pressing on the printhead a blue led turns on in the head. Everything seems to work but why is it failing. Can't start any print because it keeps pressing in the middle of the headbed. Anyone?! I have exactly the same problem as it seems. I also see a blue light appearing each time I put something against?the nozzle. Can we please get super here? I have the same problem but when I put pressure on the extractor no light comes on. I have upgraded the firmware and still have the same issue.

  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.

  The sensor has interference from the servo motor that it is close to. Unscrew the sensor and move it away and the print should work fine.

  @SpencerSpinn Hi I've had the same problem and I finally figured out what was wrong. Somehow the SD card got corrupted and the firmware on the main board and on the screen also got corrupted. I tried to update the firmware with CURA and it didn't work. So I used Creality's Slicer to upgrade the firmware on my CP-01 mainboard & it Worked. I also upgraded the screens firmware through the microSD card slot on the screen with the .hex firmware file. The screen updated no problem but I still had the boot screen and nothing else until l upgraded the firmware on the mainboard through Creality's Slicer. My CP-01 is up & running again. I hope this helps.
