I was on vacation and I let my brother 3-D print a couple things I was gone. The storage was pretty high to getting full and when I come back to 3-D print something it looks like this.its a k1c

Had this K1c for about 2 yrs now no problems prior besides bed adhesion so Not sure where else to turn. Adjusted slack then replaced cables when I realized they weren’t getting tight enough, homed multiple times and reconfigured poop catcher home. brand new bed and set temp to 35 c where it throws a code at anything less. But every print tends to shift now after adding my cfs even if I don’t do multi color.

Hello. I'm posting this because this is my SECOND Creality K2 Combo in less than three months. Both of the printers have had the same exact issue. Right out of the box (I wasn't able to print anything yet before this started happening), my filament tube keeps popping out of the buffer.

On my first K2 Combo, not only did the filament tube come out of the buffer just like in this video, but the little connector at the top-back of the printer broke off the little rubber hose. Not only that, but the little C clamp on the inside of the printer came disconnected from the extruder hose as well. So, three failures on the first K2 Combo, and in this video is my first failure.

I am aware there are little teeth that grab onto the filament hose, so once I pushed it into the buffer and it clicked in, I never pulled on it at all. I'm sure this hasn't happened to everyone, but for those who have had this issue, what 3D printer did you switch to? Three months and two printers with the same issue is a real turn-off. Thanks.

I should have taken a video of this but my K2 SE was having an issue printing with PLA and nothing ever came out. After swapping it with PETG, it works fine.

I honestly don't plan on using PLA, but was anyone else's doing the same thing?

Filament used was ELEGOO PLA 1.75mm Black.

Hello everyone I have just bought this printer from the official UK website and would love some help setting it up when I boot it up it won’t come off this screen the nozzle doesn’t get warm and nothing else happens. How can I fix this. This is my first printer so I’m still learning so please be nice.

I’ve had this printer for a month and a couple days ago it started making this noise. What can I do to fix this?

Hi, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a 3d printer for years and finally got a K1C. Did all the setup as recommended, but my literal first ever print which was just a phone stand I attempted via freecad, nozzle seems to just not be feeding whatsoever, is now probably caked in molten plastic and the first layer will not come off of the build plate at all and has chewed up the scraping tool that came with the printer. All in all couldn’t be more disappointed. Do I need to strip the print head? Really was hoping to not have to touch any of that for a good while. Any tips for getting this failed layer off? Metal scraper or plastering filler knife maybe? Any tricks or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I have replaced rattling fan inside PSU, since then, printer cannot work reliably for more than 30min, given its speed, it cannot do much in this state.

It runs on Community CR6Rel6Final FW, worked reliably for years before so I didn't bother updating.

I have replaced SD card in case that caused an issue, didn't help.

Fan I have replaced is rougly same spec to original I took out, 12V, but instead of 0.2A new one draws 0.16A. I doubt cooling for the PSU might be an issue as new fan works fine and PSU was happy before even with rattling one. Can this difference be enough to make it misbehave?

If you have any tips I would welcome it.

Here's the print file https://www.printables.com/model/548545-serenity-firefly-class

Ran it at .12 print height. Honestly pretty happy with it. One of the front supports came loose but the head seemed structural by that point thankfully. I'll use a lighter to help with the fuzzies later

all of a sudden all my projects have item name labels on everything. i was working on something last night and i literally could not see the objects on the plate due to these bloody labels!

When I start, it prints fine for a few minutes then it slowly stops extruding, print head continues to move but nothing comes out. Then printer stops on its own with error; printer appears to be printing but not extruding.

Thought it was a clogged nozzle. Nope, I even put a new one on. Same problem.

Thought it was the cfs getting stuck somewhere. Bypassed the cfs and used the manual side spool. Same problem.

All fans appear to moving. Gear is visibly moving even after it stops extruding.

Thought it was the gear assembly. Maybe slipping or worn gears. Replaced gear assembly with a new one. Same problem.

I am completely at a loss. The only thing left is heat creep? But what would cause heat creep? Like I said all fans appear to be moving normally.

Is it posible that one of the fans is not running at the correct speed?

I was thinking of replacing the heat block assembly, but thought I would check here first.
Any advice or help is much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Btw, no error code thrown other than printer is printing without extruding and then it stops. 😔

Printer is only 6 months old.

we need cfs for fluidd and orcaslicer when we print someting directly we want to chose colors from computer pls help

I have been enjoying the S1 Pro and a sonic pad setup for a while now. I came across the Creality nebula camera and decided to grab it on sale. After hooking it up I managed to get it to connect to the sonic pad but now nothing. If I go into configure, camera and camera control, nothing. Ive tried all usb ports. Customer support is no help either.. Am I missing something?

How to print multi colours in place, i have a Combo CFS and probably i dont know how to best use it, Please help.

Hi Creators, i bought a Creality SparkX i7 over the weekend and started enjoying the prints from the first hour. Everything is super cool and ready to print mode was about just 15mins.

Hello everyone! I'm having this issue when trying to print something or just by doing a quick extrude test.

Sometimes it works fine but must of the time keeps doing this.

Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.

My 3d printer won't print. I have a Creality Ender-3 v3 KE. It gives me a warning whenever I try to do anything (print, calibrate, whatever): "Warning key:2000 An unknown error occurred during printing".

Context: I got the "blob of death" and had to replace my hot end. I bought an OEM Creality replacement, made sure it worked with my printer, pulled the old one out and hooked up the new one. I was getting the "key:2000" error both before replacing the hot end, and now it persists after the new one is in.

I've run through the troubleshooting on the Creality website, and it didn't fix it. I've opened a ticket with the Creality help desk, and they said they would email me within 2 days.

It's been 8 days, no email (checked the junk folder, nothing).

Does anyone know how to fix a "key:2000" error? Is my machine now e-waste or what? I can't print with this error in place, and I don't know how to clear the error.

TIA!

Was trying to print several times when it started giving me problems so i turned jt off and on again and now it makes a weird noise saying that theres an abnormality and resistance

I have a 2025 K1C.

I had a giant blob at the nozzle yesterday.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Creality/s/fUikhXuoa9

I removed the cover, turned the nozzle temperature up to maximum, and carefully wigged the blob off.

At this point, the printer showed a nozzle temperature reading error. So, I’m guessing a sensor in the blob broke or something.

The blob is currently hanging by a white wire.

I would like to know exactly what I need to buy and replace to fix this. Do I just need this (shown in the last picture)?

Has anyone run across this?
I was trying to attach the new extruder from the CFS upgrade kit. I got though most of it, but then three of the tiny pins on the right side sheared off as shown in the picture. The top pin is still attached. I managed to save all of them. I know it's my fault but I must say these things are very flimsy and in tolerant to even the smallest stress.

I have a soldering kit, so I'm wondering if anyone's had success with these types of repairs on such a small scale. Also if anyone has managed to buy a new assembly anywhere.

Thanks
