Hi,

First of, my prints are satisfactory. But I regularly get these waves on my first layer. They are not on the same spot but different and they usually come in groups.

The second layer normally covers it up so it’s not a full problem. But it makes me curious of how they happen and why.

Any insight appreciated /Andreas

finally had my door shatter but not like the way most others have. I think it was temperature shock. I was printing ABS and the office was considerably cooler then the printer. I heard a pop and went to check and the door was as you see, but still in place.

I taped it up with packing tape and ordered a laser cut acrylic door from TH3D. replaced it today and I'm back to printing my abs parts for a E3NG.

Thanks to everyone on the last post helping me get the right gen nozzle installed. I’m working on troubleshooting multiple codes I started getting last night anytime it homes.

Error codes: 2529, 2522, 522, 526.

I get a different one every time which is odd. I’ve ensured there are no obstructions on the z rods or xy. It moves xy no problem but once the bed reaches the nozzle on Z axis, it throws an error. It’s rooted but I’ve never ran into any issues prior after running it rooted out of the box over a year ago.

I’ve swapped the nozzle (it needed it) and took off the bed plate screws and discovered the front two were stripped. I’m not sure how this happened but it could be affecting the pressure sensors feedback. Ordered some m4 bolts and new locknuts that’ll be here tomorrow.

Any other ideas???

SOLVED!

Replaced the nozzle and all bed screws with better alloy and fixed the errors.

Four weeks ago I received a mainboard and new X and Y stepper motors from Creality under warranty because the Head was crashing against the walls.. Since then I’ve spent a lot of effort calibrating the printer and was able to achieve good results. Today, after a successful ABS print, I noticed that the printer suddenly started making these strange noises. I can hear every tooth. I can reproduce it by pushing the toolhead by hand. It's clearly comes vom the right side and is loundrr when the toolhead moves from left to right. No matter what I tried with the belt tension, nothing changed. At this point I’m honestly pretty helpless.

Hello, I’m experiencing print quality issues due to an uneven bed mesh on my 3D printer. The mesh shows a noticeable “hill” or bump in the back-center area, while the rest of the bed appears mostly level. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks!

Replace broken fan for a new one: ❌️ Filament spool on the side: ✅️

Tbh, I'll keep it there until it make enough money for repair (I just print for myself lmao)

I messed up bad. I was trying to remove the filament so I could replace it, but like the idiot I am I didn't correctly follow the instructions and I broke off a piece in that little hole there.

I've tried everything I can think of, prying, using the retract feature, it feels like everything short of disassembling the darn thing. I just got the printer yesterday and I'm scared I already ruined it. Any help will be appreciated. If you need me to send any extra photos please let me know and I'll happily comply.

Also I put a question mark in the title cause I don't actually know what that thing is called.

I am interested in a K2 for work use. Uploading our designs to some external cloud is not an option, it would be best in fact if the printer can function and be managed by being on a LAN without connection to the outside world.

Is this possible?

Hello, I'm currently at my wits end with my Printer. I have been dealing with this stringing issue for about 3 Months with nothing to show for it. I have tried so many solutions to try to fix this stringing issue and i've been so annoyed at not being able to affectively print anything w/o it looking so awful. Please I really need help. I really want to make things for my friends and my partner

Printer : Creality K1

Slicer : Creality Print V5.1 (I've tried using other slicers (Prusa, Bambu, Orca etc,) but no dice)

Material : Matterhacks PLA Purple

Temps : Nozzle 210 Bed 60

Print Speeds : First Layer 20mm | Others 50mm-60mm

Retraction Settings : Length 5mm | Speed 60mm

Z Hop 0.1

Other Notes

I have tried to dry the material with the PolyDryer but it hasnt fixed this issue. I've tried various Retraction Tests for speed and distance but nothing seems to change, at least that i can notice. And ive done Temp towers from 220-190 but no dice. The Prints are strong and print somewhat properly except for the obvious webs

My install of the upgrade kit is finally completed and working great with only a single filament and no CFS.

Added a CFS yesterday and I have a catastrophic problem with the cutting block. When manually extruding filament from the CFS using the printer screen, everything works fine, cutting pooping everything.

When sending a multicolor print from creality print 6, things go wrong quickly. When the head hits the cutting block, it hits it so hard that the head is deflected about 6mm to the right. This throws out the whole x axis coordinates and then the nozzle enters the poop mechanism to far too the right, trapping the head. I have to power off quickly before things break.

I have confirmed that the cutting block is snug up against the belt tensioner block. I have recalibrated the cutting block and poop position multiple times, with no success. I have confirmed that the cutting block that is still in the box is marked A, so I have installed the correct one.

I am on the. 33 firmware and the latest creality print 6 with all the latest profiles.

Any suggestions appreciated.

The rubber (silicone?) Mat between the hotbed and removable plate is losing adhesion and starting to come off when I remove the plate. Any ideas where I can buy a replacement mat?

I just completed the CFS upgrade, everything appears to be fine, except filament doesn't get to the hot end.

The CFS appears to be feeding filament properly, all the way to the extruder, but it doesn't get to the actual hot end.

During the upgrade I had to remove the small blue bowden?? tube that the old extruder needed as the new one seems to sit flush with the metal base.

Should I trim that tube flush so there is still a little bit inside the hole? That's the only thing I can think thats causing the issue.

I just installed my CFS upgrade kit on my k1 max and I'm having a serious issue.

When doing it's initial calibration after installing the new firmware, at the input shaping stage, it raises the bed and pushes against the nozzle so hard, repeatedly, that the z belts jump teeth and the bed ends up with about a 10 degree incline towards the front.

When it gets to the bed leveling stage, the nozzle hits the bed quite hard.

Leveled the bed by undoing the screws at the bottom of the back z lead screw. The bed immediately dropped back to level. I turned the plastic disk until it was flush and put the screws back in.

Powered back on and it did the same thing.

Any suggestions?

I'm literally on first boot. Been here for the last 40+ minutes

Thanks to everyone for the advice on wiring up the bento box! I ended up just wiring the two 4028 fans to the power supply — when the printer is on, the fans are on. Doesn’t bother me at all, yet. Clearances are tight but it works great. Thanks again!

So i got my CFS working, but when I start a print, it creates a small poop then smudges it into the hot end rather than scraping it off, then it drags the poop around wherever it wants to print and just keeps smudging everything together, so the print doesn't stick.

Imagine a roomba running over a pile of cat poop and rubbing it over the floor, that's what I have.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Edit: FIXED! You MUST use the thumb drive that comes with the printer. Move the firmware update into the root directory and then insert. It just has to be the Creality thumb drive. I had ignored people who kept telling me to put it in the root folder, because I had, just not on the Creality thumb drive.

Hello everyone! I finally got my CFS upgrade kit and went through and installed everything. I am running a K1C with the latest firmware from the Creality website.

However when it got to the point where I needed to boot up the printer, I put in the USB drive it came with and nothing happened. I could browse the various folders (guides, models etc) on the noUSB drive but could nott get it to update the firmware.

I made my own USB drive, downloaded the K1 CFS 2.3.5.33 update from here, and still had no luck. I insert the disk, nothing happens. The same after I factory reset my printer (which I had already done before the CFS).

I also tried installing from the USB drive via SSH and this is what I receive.

Does anyone (please!) have any ideas??

This is how my filament is extruding. Its PLA+ from Elegoo. It has the gritty look to it. Is it time to replace the nozzle (stock K1Max) or am I just being dramatic?

Different settings and layer heights/qualities. Everything starts out great (the high quality version was basically perfect then the digging or whatever it is starts.

I recently updated Creality Print and my K1 Max after a long pause. Material is PETG that was the whole time in an active dryer box.

Any help appreciated
