Camera Stops Working

I am having the same issue with mine, ever since this firmware update, the camera will fail with the same error, and the print fails. The print continues, but whatever happens messes up the print, but it keeps trucking along.

I just stopped the print, I told the printer to home as I wanted to lower the hotbed, and it just freaked out on me. I ended up powering it off and losing some 8 hours into a 15-hour print.

Have they found an issue yet?

My printer is still with them and they have said nothing to me until now. So, no news and no printer.

same problem i am having i msg creality and they just say restart the machine and if it still happens msg them again which i did and nothing back.

after a reboot usually it will last 1 print then it goes blank. viewing it on the phone will disconnect in mins. on the pc its usually oki for the first print then it just dies sometimes after reboot its still dead.

I regularly have my printer at 50 deg or more. I was having the same problem, but I have never used the lidar. I have unplugged it and the camera is working fine. Check that you have the lidar turned off in the settings.

My camera was doing the same as yours. Either freezing, or just going blank after as little as an hour. I unplugged the lidar and It’s run for 2 days without a failure.

A work around is to use a browser to access the K1 printer, You need the IP address of the printer. You can find this out in by looking at the top left Creality Print screen. Then you can simply open a new tab in your browser and enter the IP address with “http://” in front of it as the address.

Through the browser interface, you can not only monitor the current progress of the print or access the connected camera, you can also make all the settings here. The browser interface is just as much a full-fledged interface as the printer itself.
