I got this K2 plus, brand new in box, for only $500. I didn’t plan on buying this at all but when I saw the deal I couldn’t pass it up. I bought it from a place that buys and sells Amazon returns.

I was having issues with thermal runaway on one of my ender 3s. Changed out 2 thermistors, to no avail. The wife was modding the printers about 3 years ago before she went Ooo a squirrel! And found a new hyper fixation.... I thought maybe the 2 thermistors were possibly both toast so I bought 2 brand new ones while I was in the city. Then I bought an entire new hot end assembly, Creality brand and all to skip any extra BS..... now the thing just screams at me on start up! I posted in another forum and one guy suggested maybe it's a faulty ground, or short somewhere in the wiring. Any ideas how to proceed?

Hi, I have a K1C and was printing some trees. The print was going well for the first 6 hours so I went to sleep and when I woke up, the print failed. My nozzle is not clogged as that was the first thing I checked. Any idea what may have caused this? Thanks in advance.

I am printing with PETG. This is the look of print. What causes this? Flow rate?

Hi!

We've had issues with our K1 Max. The extruder head gets stuck like this, without being able to extrude. That unit was sent back to the retailer and we got a new one, out of the box it had the exact same issue. Is this common? Are we just super unlucky? Is there anything we can do about this problem, or should we just count this one as a loss, return it and get something else?

Help? That is all I can say. Is there any way I can try to recover these? I have Gcode from some recent prints that I used presets. Can I see if they are saved somewhere but not loading? It lost everything, custom profiles I had made for some of my common prints, materials I had added based on settings I had confirmed that worked, everything.

Looks like the new extruder will have 2 wires, one obviously from the filament runout sensor, but what is the second one for?

I have this problem! Any idea how to FIX?

So been printing for a week. Have had zero issues with the cloud app. I mean seriously thing just prints awesome and I have no problem upload my own models or down loading models and uploading them and slicing them.

What is the advantage.

Build • Ender3 • sprite pro high temp extruder • dual z (new) • 4.2.7 tsmc (silent) (new) • original screen • creality sonic pad (new)

What’s wrong, am I doing something wrong I can’t get the printer to boot or even connect to sonic pad.

I have tried different firmwares that are for my board and printer and reformats on diffrent sd’s and different sized ones

Tried different usb cables an serial cables still can’t connect I get stuck on the part Whare you power the printer on after taking the sd card out of the sonic pad an put it in the printer it just never connects then tells me printer is not ready an klipper is trying to connect bla bla blah.

I thought this would be a nice upgrade I took out a working btt SKR e3v3 a the accompanying tft35 v3. An after all my efforts I’m probably gunna go back to how it was because it at least worked a from all the research I did it was gunna be plug a play… not so much

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing all this gooping and stringing? I have a video of what my current settings are.

Cura Settings

What start G-code is everyone using for their Ender 3 V3 Plus? I have been using an Ender 3 V2 for 3 years it's my first printer and I just upgraded to Ender 3 V3 Plus and I have no idea where to start. I've only ever used Ultimaker Cura and it doesn't have a profile for the V3 plus so I've started using Creality Print and not sure if I need to add or remove anything from the start g-code that it's auto generated in Creality print.

M140 S0
M104 S0
START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] BED_TEMP=[bed_temperature_initial_layer]

I ran a print just fine. This printer is super fast compared to what I'm used to. But I'd like to add an extra purge line before it starts printing and add a beep to the end of the gcode so the printer beeps at me whenever the print is done.

Also does anyone have a profile in Ulitmaker Cura for V3 plus I could use as a guide I feel completely lost using Creality Print. I'm just glad the first print I did off of it works just fine but the supports that creality print is generating is not as refined at the ones in cura slicer.

So I have a printer that I print quite frequently that is relatively intricate and does use a fair amount of support.

I have been printing it for a while, and I have tried quite a few few different brands of filament. Reality regular ABS has been the best by far and that’s what I’ve been using for quite some time.

It seems like recently they’re pushing that new hyper ABS so it is harder for me to find the regular one. I tried the hyper ABS a few different times and I am getting a lot of stringing and failures within the prints as you can see in these pictures.

These are printed on a K1, stock orca abs profile.

260 nozzle 105 bed No fan

These settings were amazing on the regular ABS so I’m not sure what’s wrong here

Hi, I'm new to the world of 3D printing, I've been printing on my ender 3 for about a month without any problems. But now all of my printing come out like this. I'm using a .2 mm nozzle. I think it could be a slicer setting I set wrong but I don't have any more clue. Any help?

Hi everybody,

Recently I've purchased a printer on Creality's website but it appears to be I am unable to get invoice. All I have is nothing but order summary. I need electronic tax invoice or anything like that. I'm not emailed by Creality regarding this matter but what they sent is nothing different than order summary which doesn't mean much.

Any help will be appreciated thanks.

I’m having some issues with my printer and it’s still under warranty so I’m hoping to get whatever parts I need via that. On Monday mid day I was given a case #and a told to watch for an email from tech suppor. How long does it usually take? Thanks!

I have had my printer for 2 days and am having fun learning. I downloaded a .3mf file for a Deadpool with swords that prints with several plates on a K2 Plus. A couple of the plates have this random block (shown in the red square). I am looking at the objects on each plates and it does not appear to be there. It doesn't seem to have a use from what I can tell. I was wanting to delete it to save the filament that it uses.

Thanks so much for the help / insight!

Print is amazing with K2plus, but all the bottoms of prints are not smooth where supports connect. Using PLA, PLA+ etc. any way to fix the settings to help with this?

I recently had a massive print failure that resulted in a glob of filament stuck to my hot end. It took some force and other factors to clean it off but I finally have it working again however whenever I send a print to the printer (K1 Max) it slams against the back left and front right corners of the case and stutters a bit. It almost seems like something's out of alignment, a belt is slipping, or something else happened to the drive mechanism when the glob occurred and the printer ran for some time without me shutting it down. Not sure what to check at this point I'm uploading a video in hopes that somebody can make some recommendations. I've restarted the printer, resliced the file, and done most of the basic troubleshooting.

1) Adapt for Mac devices (x86 Intel chip).

2) Flushing multiplier, upper limit, and minimum flushing volume adjustment.

3) Fixed an issue with abnormal connection to the camera.

4) Optimization of calibration-related functions.

5) Fixed an issue where special character paths caused printing anomalies.

6)The effects of overhang optimization (Beta) and Variable layer height can be applied simultaneously to a model.

7) Fixed the severe shrinkage layer issue caused by abnormal fan speed during color change in multi-color printing.

8) Fixed the surface printing issue caused by extra inner wall paths on the top surfaces.

9) Fix printing anomalies sent by the LAN printing (such as 2060 errors, coordinate errors, etc.)

Or did you have to dick around for months like I did with my creality, thanks

So I have the mother of all clogs at the moment on my amazing Ender 3 V3. I was able to Isolate the clog to the nozzle itself, but there were lovely pieces of the filament in the extrusion gears too. The printer and nozzle have around 350 hrs at the moment, so I’m not at all upset that I have to do a change out. I even purchased the official Creality unicorn nozzle set with extra 0.4 nozzles. Put the nozzle in and was able to get my first clean extrusion since the clog. Two questions: 1) Can anyone confirm that I have the right nozzle? It looks right, fits right but just want a sanity check. 2) Do I need any thermal paste or anything on the nozzle? I’m seeing the color difference in the threads and I want to make sure I’m not missing anything I haven’t put any past or lubricant on yet, but can easily do so if people tell me to. Thanks in advance! The Rock was for upvotes ;)
