Thank you for making this easy to understand video - just received my K1C yesterday and somewhat stuck on where to start. Your video helped a great deal. Greetings from the UK
Hi sir .. i used to do a timelapse with my old marlin printer using cura .. Does creality print support add timelapse to gcode ( where printer head home after each layer to take a photo then contenue printing and so ) ?
im on the ender 3 v3 se and cant print at all it keeps coming up with the currently selected printer does not support multi plate printing but im only printing on one plate any suggestions for fix this
OK, that sounds weird... using only 1 plate, but printer says it does not support multi plate printing... What if you redo the slicing again and check if there are no other parts or models sitting outside of the main plate in Creality Print... is it giving the same error again?
On the right-hand site, under "Process", you gotta go in the "Strength" Tab. There is the setting "Sparse infill density". Its hard to explain with no pictures but i hope that helped.
Very helpful video!! I do have a question with something I'm having problems with. What screen resolution are you using along with your text percentage and icon size if you're using Windows? I'm getting Creality Print to display too large and parts of it overlay other parts of it making it unusable. If my text is over 101% this happens. I need the text to be larger so I can see it. I'm using 1280x960 with 125% text and small icons. Thanks
Thank you. You are using the Windows sizing of the fonts in order the read it? For Windows 11 I use 100% Resolution, not 125 or 150. But in Creality Print I don't see the Option.
going from 3rd to 5th is a major impact. i've been liking the added features, but I also grabbed my printer when it wasn't in any other slicers yet, and so the other big name slicers just didn't optimize better than 3, but this one has been a big "plug and play" jump for my unit. So I guess suffering with Creality 3 has impacted my view of things.
Indeed, for starters that just wanna print, it's great, but I rather want to see already known slicers being added with their printers and people being guided how to use those. What do you mean with Creality 3, like Ender-3?
I downloaded it and I really don't like it when compared to the previous version. I look through your video tomorrow, but for now I just want to say that I can't import 3mf-files without them getting all jumbled up in the down left corner. And when I finally do get a model properly loaded in - my own design - the program refuses to print it due to an error stating that it needs supports. But it doesn't; I've printed that model dozens of times and it prints fine without supports. But I can't make the program ignore the error, like I could in the previous version. Two major annoyances that made me download the 4 version.
You still have the previous version on the computer, because I also still have it on mine. It basically install a new program instead of overwrite it. I always unselect the pre-selected options, because I use various slicers and I want to choose which slicer it needs to open it. Just as I mentioned in the video, some feature are great, but I rather want to use Orca Slicer
@@Zachary3DPrints ORca Slicer does look good, but the main problem I have with that software is that I can't seem to get it to work directly with my Creality K1. I managed to add it to the program, but then I keep getting error codes and it refuses to print. I think the error was something along the lines of something not found. For now, Creality 4 works still works the best, although I've been having a lot of problems with proper bed adhesion/smooth first layer lately.
Loading the Gcodes to the printer, goes via the IP address on Chrome or other browsers... I also don't like it, but maybe in the future Creality actually allows other Slicers upload to the printer. I'll be switching over to Orca for my Creality printers and make video's about them... The Adhesion issues? Try to clean it, use the glue stick, and calibrate it
@@Zachary3DPrints I'll make sure to give those videos a look, to see if I can get around the errors. Because I think that if that problem gets fixed, I might like Orca better overall than Creality. I clean the bed regularly, use the glue stick, and calibrate it regularly as well. I think it's a matter of slight differences between the filaments I use (eSun, local print shop brand, Fiberlogy, Redline) so I'm currently working on making separate profiles for each of these filaments. Also, LOL: my husband suddenly decided to buy a Bamboo Labs printer with multiple filament printing options 'for personal use' (the K1 is for my very small business) to see if it has better software and prints better 'out of the box' and has less first layer print problems. XD (I was okay with it, btw)
Indeed, a good practice to make special profiles for different filaments so you don't run into loosing filament because of failed prints. The Bambo printers are great for small and bigger businesses, so you are doing great that he bought one
If the execution is right, it is fine for beginners to start somewhere, but I really would like to have a handful of standard slicers that work with all the printers.
Of course we are allowed to grow, but re-skinning from already existing programs? Creality put efforts into something that is already there. Why not putting the time in already available slicers and give customers instructions how to set it up in those slicers. By using the printer and slicer they will grow, just like you! When did you start WhiteTrash731? I like to hear your story

So theres no Support infill Density Setting in Creality Print 5? ive looked everywhere and cant find it. Its definitely in Creality Print 4

Trying to follow along but I dont have all the options you do in Filaments. is there something else I need to do?
Hey, did you try to use the Advanced Options?
@@Zachary3DPrints ?
This slicer is at mix from cura/prusa slice and the ocar and bamboo slice it is at derivation from prusa slice
Yes indeed
8:34 in, I don't have all those default configurations when I run 5.1.2, Windows, or MacOS. The only option I see is "0.20mm Standard"
Need to enable advanced options.
@@XboxRecordThatClip I have advanced features enabled. Latest update is no different.

Don't get me wrong, it looks cool. But, do we really need another slicer?
@@el_teodoro Why not? Are we not allowed to grow?
Its just an Orca Slicer re-skin to make it work with their propietary stuff. I would stay away from it.
If the execution is right, it is fine for beginners to start somewhere, but I really would like to have a handful of standard slicers that work with all the printers.

Yes, especially when it is unstable
what is this slicer , Name of slicer ?
Creality Print... it is in the title of the video, but mentioned it several times in the video... 🤔😉
you save my ass
You're welcome
This looks so wrong if it’s just a reskin for their proprietary stuff then that is the scummiest thing in the world
@@davidl6354 if you watched the video its mentioned its based on other slicers not their own
I agree with you on this. Why not putting the efforts into decent profiles in the known Slicers that people are using the most!
It is indeed not their own slicer...
