I’ve had my Ender-5 Pro for a few years, and I’ve been slicing with Creality Slicer the whole time. I was liking the ability to upload slices directly to Creality Cloud and manage my prints from the app once I got the little Creality network box (Creality Box 2.0, I think it’s called) to connect the printer to my cloud account. I’ve been missing the ability to directly upload slices to my cloud account since the function hasn’t worked for a long time, and also since Slicer hasn’t had an update in about 2 years, so I thought I’d try Creality Print. I installed the current release version, 6.2.1.3044. Well, it doesn’t see the printer on the network. The app shows me the IP address, CP doesn’t seem to see it there when I try the IP address option. When trying to manually select a printer type, the Ender-5 Pro is not listed as a selectable printer.
I haven’t been able to find any information on this, and I’m not certain why the Ender-5 Pro wouldn’t be a choice for a printer in Creality’s own software. Slicer 4.8.2 has been working for me, aside from Cloud complaining about partially sliced files with the gcode it’s been creating for a while, even though there are no problems with the printing occurring, so I can just keep using it, but I’d like to see if CP works better for me overall. Is there something I’m overlooking with CP that’s preventing it from 1) finding my printer on the network, and 2) allowing me to manually select my particular printer model?
