I am having an issue where the Creality print software doesn’t recognize the spool/color. The CFS itself reads the filament, feeds it properly and shows it is ready with the indicator light. But on Creality print, it doesn’t show there is a spool in that slot. It is a cardboard spool but it has treated edges. I even tried printing the caps someone posted for the cardboard spools, but even with them on. I have tried moving the location of the spool to a different slot. It still doesn’t recognize it.
When trying to select the slot during print, it states that there is a consumable there, but it hasn’t been edited…?
Creality 6 needs a sync button. Why they got rid of it makes no sense.
I was having a similar (if not the same) problem…until I discovered the “Change filament” menu option on a right click when the model is selected. Click the filament slot you want to use, then once you press “Send print” the previously un-selectable slot is available for selection!
I’m not sure if this is a bug or just how Creality Print works, but I made the ‘mistake’ when I first started using the software of thinking that the slot I selected in the “Filament” panel was the one that would be used, then wondered why the CFS slot was different in the print dialog.
When I tested this, I had a no name brand PLA in slot 1, Creality PETG in slot 2 (no RFID tag), and Hyper PLA (RFID tag) in slot’s 3 and 4 (different colors). I had configured these slots on the printer’s LCD, and tried restarting the printer and restarting Creality Print with no success - until I did the aforementioned “Change filament”.
