So have they fixed this yet or are they still denying there’s an issue? I’ve gone over to the Bambu Labs A1 but as I’m stuck with this POS because no one wants to buy it (not surprised) it would be nice if it at least worked as advertised.
The CR10 SE is a great printer.
Just stop using the auto calibration.
The offset only needs to be done when you swap the nozzle.
Root the printer.
Install Fluidd and use the GUI to set the offset the manual way, “paper test”
Fine tune it using “baby steps”.
The point is it wasn’t sold as a set it manually printer was it? I could have saved a ton of cash and bought an ender instead. The issue is it’s not as advertised and Creality have just ignored the problem they created
Yea. Contact Creality Support.
Also raise it on Creality User Voice and link to the discussions here.
There are more threads about it on this forum.
@CREALITY can we have some sort of reply or acknowledgement please?
I would have to agree with you on this. It should be working as intended. And next to that, what if you don’t know the first thing about root access, command prompts or even what a z-offset is ? You would need to install third party software in order to get a correct z-offset because there is no way to adjust this in the standard Creality web-interface. The only way is to adjust it while printing.
I did install Mainsail on my machine, I installed the “official” Creality version from Github that is over a year old. First, there is an error in the instructions and when it did work, the first thing you see is that you need to update the software, but there is no option to update anything. Just…why?
The software is not really 3rd party.
It’s the actual software used by Klipper based printers by default.
Creality chose to rebrand Klipper as Creality OS and create a crippled version of Fluidd.
Normally the intent of the vendors is to lock down the version to ensure stability so they can support it. But they missed the point completely.
They are so confident in the auto zoffset that they deliberately removed the manual option form their Fluidd copy, and touch pad.
The only thing they did to undo the mess is to add the useless manual option to the pad.
They got called out for not complying to the OpenSource licence.
They then put their old Klipper version on GitHub and called it a day.
Being so proud of their useless auto zoffset, they closed the source code of that file and made it proprietary.
But now they don’t even have the common human decency to reply to any Issues or Pull Requests on GitHub. Which is the purpose of OpenSource.
So even if it is fixed or rewritten by the community (like they did for the K1) no one except the technical community will ever see that change.
They seem to silently in the background see our bitching and make improvements. However they are too coward to acknowledge it in these forums.
e.g The Ender V3 comes pre rooted, with full Fluidd installed , like all printers should.
@CREALITY any response or recommendations?
If you use The Helper Script, you can ignore the Annex instructions, uninstall and reinstall the proper versions of Moonraker, Mainsail and/or Fluidd.
Then uninstall the Creality interface.
They can then be kept up to date under System Settings.
I use Orca, with Adaptive Mesh, Upload and Print directly.
On the printer I use Guppy Screen, with the pad in landscape mode using a bracket I designed.
Happy chappy.
I already installed this. But then I’m getting timeout errors while homing… So I edited a file to increase a certain value and that is now solved after many hours of searching. You could also opt for the pre-rooted firmware from a guy on Reddit, Destinal. It comes with helper script.
The machine itself is allright, but it’s just all the fuss around it like you mentioned and if you expect a response, you can wait until you weigh an ounce. I believe on Github they never responded to any question.
And then Creality Print 5, the build height for the CR-10 SE is set at 240 mm. instead of 265, wrong speeds in the profiles, my Ender 3 Neo is not supported, but the ancient Ender 3 is. Why not add all models with different nozzle sizes ?
Of course it’s all fixable with some effort, but it shows that Creality is just sloppy and they don’t care, they expect the customer to figure it all out.
This will definitely be my last Creality printer.
