Share your filament settings thread! :-)

On Printer you need to switch it on here

and when you set then calibration when sending print or printing them they sill be done!


If you switch above on then all 3 calibrations (Bed mesh, PA and flow rate will be run on this print.

I’m sorry frank, forgive me but if I don’t enable it on the machine - does enabling calibration in creality print not do anything worthwhile? Or do I disable calibration in creality print on that print screen above, and only enable it on the machine itself? Sorry, I just want to be sure I do this properly. Also, here is flowrate pass 2:

Interestingly, on the printer both flow rate and auto PA were enabled. So every time i’ve printed, and also enabled calibration in CP6 - was that even necessary? Does auto calibration on the printer (not CP6) mean the PA settings in the filament profile are ignored or they take priority?

@frankjoke here are some pics from me following your steps in your new roll calibration thread. It’s a brand new roll of Erryone matte dark forest green PLA, only I had to choose creality CR-PLA in CP6, I didn’t see any ā€˜generic’ one otherwise. If you spot anything, please feel free as always :slight_smile:

Maybe you did not import them, see below how to import needed system settings:


The cog on the upper right side in CP6 shows the menu (after a while after CP6 grasp the info form their servers).

Ah I found the issue - somehow my 0.6mm nozzle was a user preset, not system, and I couldn’t gain access to those until I added the nozzle under the main printer settings again. Thank you! :slight_smile:

Do you print so many big parts because using 0.6mm nozzle?
You need to be very careful to define right maximum flow rate with 0.6mm nozzle because the profiles are set for speeds which you can achieve only with 0.4mm nozzle.

I tested and found that I gain only 10-20% for average prints with 0.6mm nozzle (for the quality I want) but loose a lot of layer adhesion and strength of the parts unless I print slower and then loose again the advantage!

I have 0.6mm noizzle on my Qidi printer but use it only for GF/CF filled filaments or some wood filaments I have, but 99% of prints I do on K2 with 0.4.

I was/am printing mainly multiboard tiles as well as some panels (300mm long) out of PLA-CF and PETG-CF. I was able to cut the print time down by 50% nearly. I also found filament profiles for many of the vendors in C:\program files\creality\creality print 6.0\resources\profiles - but even when clicking File → Import → Import Configs after selecting the configs and CP6 tells me it imported - I don’t see those filaments in the dropdown, or in the list to enable. Are you familiar with this by chance?

Take a look at this, at the top right under Filament you have a cogwheel, here you can then select all the filament types you want to use, as well as the generic.

I was in despair yesterday because it never drew me the flow and the PA pattern until I tried the CP6 Windows version after several hours of the CP6 Mac version. It’s a pity that Creality didn’t simply extend the OrcaSlicer for the K2.

Yes, this was Kris trying but the problem is that Creality does not have for all printers/nozzles all configs and therefore you get only what they have for your printer.

I have also OrcaSlicer installed (V2.3) and installed there the Creality K2+, my Quidi XPlus3 and Bambulab P1P. I then downloaded all the bambulab/quidi/k2+ filaments they have for Orca and when I create a profile for K2 I look up if the filament is in Orca/P1P and use some settings from there (like temperature, bed, cooling and maximum flow rate). The PA & flow rate need to be measured in separately.

Can you think of a reason these aren’t selectable or importable @frankjoke ? I tried using the import tool which says it was successful but the filaments are nowhere to be found that I’ve looked at least, in CP6.

That was my first post here, it took a long time to be approved by a moderator, so my reply didn’t make much sense since you had already replied to it.

My filaments are in different location, I reach it by

in there I have a System C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Creality\Creality Print\6.0\system and C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Creality\Creality Print\6.0\user\default\filament directory where my filaments profiles are stored in subdirectories for different printers.

p.s.: Using CP 6.0.5.1840
