After cfs upgrade of my K1 i have no real purge line anymore before a print!
When i start a print, he printer starts with calibrating and… and it don’t take PLA from CFS. Temperatur is ok to make a purge line but there is no pla in the extruder yet. so it wil make a line without PLA. when done with the fake line the hotbed goes down and then the extruder goes to the back of the printer and then PLA is coming from the CFS. it cleans the nozzle, poop is falling down, and when it has done it starts direct the print!
But in the first 2-3 seconds there is no PLA comming out of the nozzle, after a 2-3 seconds it does and printer is printing, but it is missing lenght of first layer
Strange if you ask me! I don’t think this is normal.
What can be the reason of this behavior or what can i do?
I notice this as well - maybe a future update to Creality Print will fix this. In the interim, you can add a brim or purge tower to account for the missing first part of the printing after the initial poop purge. The purge tower will handle this when printing multiple colors automatically. I think the default is this to be on, but we turn it off when single color printing …
Something wrong with your code. tried it out but it messed up z. so reverted back to just extruding first fillament and it is a hassle but atleast i do not get messed up first 3 layers.
The latest firmware 2.3.5.34 fixes this - also fixes the display issue and now my first layers are beautiful compared to before.
Now the K1C pulls filament in, then does the purge line, then begins printing like it should.
2.3.5.33 had lots of issues.
I had to manually find 2.3.5.34 and write it to a USB drive because my printer did not detect there was an update through OTA/wireless or the phone app.
I manually updated to version 2.3.5.34, and it fixed several issues on my K1 (with upgrades). The printer is now working about 99% perfectly. I’d like to know if anyone is aware of any newer upgrade released after version 34.
Thank you! This has solved the screen issue and the purge line for me. I wonder how you found the update file. Was it from support or from Discord?
EDIT: I found the Creality Master directory with the updates. .34 was the latest version, but I decided to dig deeper and found a newer version number, which I tried, and it was a disaster; I almost had to dismantle the printer to access the mainboard. Luckily, I found a way to skip the initial check, access remotely, and flash .34 back, so now my K1C works perfectly fine.
For me 2.3.5.34 freezes UI at least two times a day. Screen is darkened and stops responding. Most of the time it is after the print. I have to turn printer on and off.
I feel scammed that I invested into CFS. There is more trouble than joy. It is half finished product and it is sold for months without delivering functional product or fixes.
