  I've had mine for only a couple months and have seen plenty of irritating deficiencies (as well as enjoying stunning performance), but curiously the one problem I'd been most afraid of, Z cal inconsistency, has been a non-issue from the very start. I won't doubt that you've had trouble, I'll only note that, as for me, the Z cals are dead-on accurate every single time. Just don't ask me about the trashy mainboard connector contamination.

  Today I received a new mainboard from creality, and my problems are gone! Look like your mainboard is fried.

  Dear @Cmute brush back to the original firmware, change the name of the firmware, any name, just does not appear in Chinese. 2.If it still does not work, check whether the Z-axis limit switch can work, measure the voltage at the interface of the Z-axis limit switch on the motherboard.

  Ok, I had a German RepRap printer before. Ender 6 is way better and for the price it is one of the best non industrial desktop 3D printers on the market. Why? It got a great metal extruder and a low vibration frame on a 24V mainboard with great Stepper drivers. Bed levelling is key to get started. Unfo Creality is stuck in an Antclabs exclusive deals like oh so many other 3D vendors. You can't get that BL touch included in the printer for auto bed level. Manual bed level plain sucks. I prefer a Hall sensor bed level sensor with 10 mm reading distance for 10 bucks plus a bit of soldering and cut a mount plate. It is hard to get stable voltage for that in the Ender 6 mainboard. The BL touch argument goes like "oh, but you got differences in reading the thickness of the metal of your print surface and temperutres." Well, I don't. I define the points of the plane I set my checkpoints for and I level a cold bed. In fact Creality isn't to blame for the mess Antclabs created with their licensing deal clauses here. Many people do want the Antclab product as an easy goto solution. So Creality is somewhat forced into that deal by their customers. Either you get yourself the BL touch or you start modify your Ender 6 yourself. Just don't supply a Hall sensor from a PWM voltage. You need a stable DC source. Don't try a microswitch, they are to inaccurate. A BL touch is a rip off price. Chew it or grow up and learn. Antclabs as a company isn't to low to downvote Hall sensors all over amazon in the comment sections. I used that by 2010 already when auto-bed level just came up. I progressed into UV Resin PLA and even PA12 laser SLS tech. My best machine is optimized to a 300k € industrial pro machine quality level now. Nevertheless I got myself a Ender 6 FDM for quick and dirty technical model review. For the 600 bucks it is a stellar great machine for what low cost direct drive FDM can achieve at maximum optimization. You really need to dig deep into your pockets and time to make it any better. I optimized my first FDM for 3 years and know the really deep ends of it's limitations as an engineer using this for pro R&D applications daily. As you don't seem to have the money for the Ultimaker or other out of the box experience what do you complain about here? If manual bed level blows your frustrations threshold in DIY maybe you are better off using pro print services and save you a steep and brutally hard learning curve. The best idea is to be a bit more humble and seek help step by step and grow into FDM maker skills. At best analyze why other people don't share your issue before you trash talk a vendor with a lot of happy customers.

  @Gracy its not this. the m600 is used to automatically pause during printing, without having to be there. unfortunately this printer cannot do this kind of thing due to its limited firmware. it would be nice to be able to access the firmware and configure things like this or adjust the pid or extruder steps. I feel like I was wrong to buy it, I am thinking of changing the motherboard and screen to be able to do those things so necessary.

  @steamcheng The same thing happens to me with any version of cura. When it starts to heat up, the layer fan is activated, no matter what you program. with prusaslicer it doesn't happen to me. it works only from the layer you program

  So I tried copying the file into Cura 4.10 and I can select the printer, but I am not getting all the other profiles for the different sizes., (0.12 .16 .2 etc) I tried changing those cfg files, but no luck. How do I get those quality items in there? Thanks
