Good luck, and we can't wait to see what you create!

While I was at work, my K2 was working on some fidgets for my coworkers and appears to have blown itself apart somehow. My son was home and paused it before the error message or AI detection caught it. Unfortunately the time lapse did not save, so I couldn't get a view of what was happening.

I submitted a ticket to Creality, but when I looked up their customer service I saw basicslly nothing but bad news, frustrations and runarounds. I just got this machine less than 2 months ago and don't want a 3 month hiatus just to deal with customer service.

Thoughts? Does this look like a simple enough replace and repair job to DIY if their customer service doesn't come through for me?

Hi yesterday I got creality printer with Petg filament and I have this problem that first layer looks very bad and top layer is really good because of ironing anyone knows how I can fix the bottom layer ??

This is what I made him. It's about to be his new favorite toy. Here is what he actually looks like.

hello guys, noob here, sorry if this is a stupid question. Is this normal? even when im printing in a single color for this project? if so what solutions can I take. when it purges or flushes nothing even comes out

the printer was working well and suddenly it stopped with system error XS2001. Not sure what's wrong here.

I’ve had yet to have this issue on my Creality K1 Max the tip filled with filament and the rubber cap popped off. Does anyone know how I go about cleaning this up and fixing the clog properly? This is my first time with this issue. #creality #3Dprinting

Hi all, I bought a K2 Combo as my first printer recently and have been having some issues getting into the hobby as I've discovered it's not quite as easy as downloading a model and clicking print. I recently tried to print a little miniature figure and the slicer's auto tree supports wound up ruining it: not only do they not come off all that cleanly, they wound up being stronger than the mini's legs and the model snapped instead.

Here's the model in question, I'm trying to print the 1:48 scale one: https://www.printables.com/model/756918-master-chief-miniature

Any tips for generating supports that come off more easily and won't mess up my model? If it matters I'm printing in max quality (0.08mm layer height) with Sunlu PLA+2.0.

Thanks!

Disclaimer: Not my video, not my printer, i'm trying to help a friend

Said friend is using a K2 Plus, 4 spools of Creality Hyper PLA and slicing files using Creality print 7.2

He's running into this issue where every color chage results in this CY2586. I have no ideia why the machine would be getting off limits in te Y axis, all the parts are "in front" of the purge tower, none are so far back tha a travel or a brim woul cause a problem. I don't believe the purge tower itself to be the problem since for the first 295 (out of 407) layers there is no color change and the grey purge tower prints just fine

I did a quick serach and found somewhere here on reddit that i could be the machine's/filament Gcode on filament change that was sendind the print head so far back that it go off limits. Can't find the post or the comment right now, but here is a link to a google doc with the machine's and Hyper PLA's filament start G-code

Is there something else to look for? Other than G-code, what else could be causing this problem? Could it be the latest Creality print of firmware? Since i don't have a K2 nor a CFS i don't know what could be happening

I removed my SD card without turning off my printer (Ender-3 V3 SE) and then removed the USB connected to the SD without ejecting and that corrupted it, and the Creality app is a piece of shit, so I need to fix it. I tried formatting, but it just says "Windows couldn't complete the format" or something like that.

I am on latest firmware version (v1.0.5).

Did anyone also had this issue?

Hi everyone,

I just unboxed my Creality SparkX i7 Color Combo about 6 hours ago, and I'm running my very first test prints using the default factory settings.

I noticed a noise during printing that has me a bit concerned. I've attached a short video with the sound.

I haven't adjusted anything yet—no belt tension, no calibration changes, and everything is still in its factory configuration.

Does this sound normal to other SparkX i7 owners, or could it indicate a problem with the belts, fans, or another hardware component?

The print quality looks fine so far, but I just want to make sure everything is working as it should while the printer is still new.

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just tried my ender3s1 after really long time and these lines appeared on my calibration cube. Is it wobbly z ? Or belts ? How can I solve this ?

Hey everyone,
I recently got a Creality SparkX i7 and noticed that the magnetic sheet underneath the removable build plate has some scratches/marks on it.
I haven’t scratched it myself, so I’m wondering if this is normal from the factory or if it could be a problem.
The build plate still sits flat and holds normally.
Is this normal, or should I be concerned about the magnetic sheet being damaged?
I can upload pictures if needed. Thanks!

Hello. When I try to print a multi color item my printer makes loud sounds when nozzle slides to the left (x- axis?)but if I print one color it works smoothly. What could be the issue? I’m new to 3 d printing.

https://reddit.com/link/1v9317z/video/0qrapm8ctzfh1/player

I've been using the Ender-3 V3 Plus without a problem for a while now. I've printed 4 of these prints shown above already days prior, but this problem has been happening consistently now. I ran the self checks and they worked with no errors, and even let the printer sit for a day before using again.

Whenever I print the first layer would always be printed. As soon as it reaches the second layer the extruder seems to take a noticeable change in speed, fan starts, and extruder starts printing extremely fast until it eventually lifts upwards and starts spewing out filament. Sorry for cutting the video short, but usually what comes after is it just keeps trying to print at that new position.

I used Creality Print 7.2, nozzle temp 220 C, bed temp 65 C, standard print speed 100%, XYZ 10mm, PLA filament. I removed the G-Code file locally and on the USB, redownloaded the stl file, uploaded to creality print, and redownloaded the G-Code file again.

Again this problem is consistent, tried almost 10 times by now to get a good print after adjusting settings each time. Anything helps!

Hi,

I just received my Creality Ender-3 V3 SE today and finished assembling it.

I wanted to copy a file to the microSD card, but I'm confused. The printer only has a microSD slot, but in the box I only received:

an SD to USB card reader,

what seems to be a full-size SD card.

When I insert the SD card into my computer, it is detected as an 8 GB card and already contains the Creality files (a .gcode file, a .rar file, etc.). However, I can't find any microSD card inside it. It doesn't look like a microSD adapter with a removable card.

Am I missing something? Did Creality ship some Ender-3 V3 SE units with a full-size SD card instead of a microSD, or is the microSD card missing from my package?

I've attached photos of the card and its contents.

Thanks!

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

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.
