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.

Iâm sorry frank, forgive me but if I donât 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 iâve 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. Itâs a brand new roll of Erryone matte dark forest green PLA, only I had to choose creality CR-PLA in CP6, I didnât see any âgenericâ one otherwise. If you spot anything, please feel free as always 
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 couldnât gain access to those until I added the nozzle under the main printer settings again. Thank you! 
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 â Import â Import Configs after selecting the configs and CP6 tells me it imported - I donât 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. Itâs a pity that Creality didnât 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 arenât selectable or importable @frankjoke ? I tried using the import tool which says it was successful but the filaments are nowhere to be found that Iâve 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 didnât 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
After a few hiccups with each filament type the K2 is printing PLA, ABS, PETG, and PC just fine. The one filament Iâm still having probs with is ASA. About every 2-3 prints it clogs the nozzle and when I warm pull the filament I get this - see Photo.
ie a fattened slug on the end of the pulled filament.
Iâve see this before on filaments albeit not so long. It looks like the filament is softening up too much before it gets to the heated section of the extruder?
I checked the printing filament temperature as I just accepted Creality_Prints default value and it says 260ÂșC which is 20Âș higher than the max recommended printing temp on the side filament spool.
Just wondering what folks who print with ASA use.
Found the problem - nozzle not blocked but a small fragment of old purple filament caught up in extruder filament sensor. I donât understand how this was not a constant problem because the last time I used Purple filament was about 2 months back
Iâm kind of late tot he thread. I ran across this web site dedicated to sharing printing settings. Thought it might be useful to the group and a nice database already set-up for filament settings.

Folks need your help. Started printing Sunlu PETG-CF. First 2 prints, 20 hrs each, absolutely amazing, so much better than PETG and look great, support come off easy leaving a clean surface, dimensional accuracy also great. But after the 3 print things went wrong. I have disassembled and assembled pretty much half od the printer and CFS around 3 times in past 36 hrs. 1st error, just got jammed in the middle of the model, not start but well 5-6 hrs into the print. 2 nd time the damn roll got tangled (this we should not count). 3rd the PTEF tube just snapped out from the back of the printer on the union and the nozzle was jammed again. Now the strange thing when I extrude, it does push filament out, but when printing good ifing luck. Again, extruder out and cleaned and back. 3rd time Same thing again, extruder chewed on the filament. I am using CFS, nice free to move arrangement, 2 first prints amazing then not wanting to print. Tried different spools, tried the external spool tool. It just does not want to print. Finally changed the nozzle, fixed the tube but not willing to try the PETG-CF again till I get more info from you. What I am doing wrong?
Hi Brains Trust,
I am relatively new to this hobby, I have a K2 Combo and have recently started to experience âstringingâ (I believe that is a term) I am printing using PLA, the print commences properly, and seems to properly adhere to the bed plate, but then after a while, the layer seperates and I am left with a jumble to extruded plastic. Nozzle temp is 220 and the bed temp is 50
any help or advice will be greatly appreciated
