I bought the Creality K1 about 2 weeks ago, it prints the supplied test prints perfectly. I’ve been looking for slicer programs, so, I got the Creality print, I downloaded the latest version today, 16 Dec 2023, it’s installed and I’m trying to learn how to use it. Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial on the Creality Print software. Have a great Christmas and New Year 2024.
Thank you very much, sorry for the late reply! I had a wonderful and nice Christmas and new years celebrations. There are more video's coming on this slicer and other ones too
Any idea how to do stacked prints? Try to print multiboard and want to stack with 0.2mm gap, but it cant slice bc "one object has an empty initial layer and cant be printed" but the emty layer is the ofset of each board from the surface.. Cura can do this, but can this?
Depending on how big a object is... if it is rigid, then you can go fast, but if it tends to vibrate, then slow it down. Nothing wrong with slower print speed to get success. If you are using the K1, I would use the 300mm/s for the rigid parts and 150-200 for the more delicate tall prints.
hi dude. But why is it matter the temp of the bed? after the first layer the printer will get away from the bed and so more temp to the bed will make the whole print more unstable and allowing it to move or flex on the bed a liitttttlleee bit. and therefor you end up with more errors in printing... or is it not?
Hi, depending on the ideal temp for the filament to stick on the build plate, the most used temp should be 50-65 for PLA, but for PETG or ABS it needs to be more... like 90-110. Read the label on the box of the filament.
It depends on the Profile you are changing, it could be something like 15-25% infill and you can lower it to maybe 10%. You can find that setting under Shell you see the Infill
I just bought the Creality Ender printer, I’m use to using Cura, I’m not sure why a manufacturer would limit you to using only their slicer, I’m not to happy about this, what would happen if I try to use Cura instead of this creality print,not sure if it will even allow me to add printer but I’m going to try it.
So is this slicer ONLY for Creality printers? Or can you create any machine profile for a different brand printer like you can with Cura? Like Cura, are there the start and end print code areas?
Hey BlondieSL, you can use different slicers for these Creality 3D printers, the profiles in Creality Print are very fine-tuned within this Slicer. I have pushed this towards Creality, that they should make these profiles on the popular Slicers available too, so people are not forced to use this slicer only. In Creality Print, within Printer Settings, under G-code you can find the Printer Start G-code and Printer End G-codes
@@Zachary3DPrints I think that if I do buy the K1 MAX, I'll use Creality Print to get started and the find out what's necessary to configure Orca to work with it. I do understand that Cura is more difficult to get working with the K1, if at all. Something about Marlin vs Klipper. Doable, I guess... just some extras needed to be done. For my current machine I use Cura exclusively. I'm still in "justify mode" on buying the K1. LOL
@@Zachary3DPrints Well, 6 months later and oh how things change. LOL On Saturday, I got a 3V3 plus. My old printer can't hold a candle to the quality of print this thing produces. I like it so much, I got a 2nd one today. LOL I'll be dumping my old printer. LOL
If you are going to add this printer to Cura and not Creality Print, you can use the profile from the Creality Ender-3 Pro/Ender-3 v2 Neo. Most of these printers are sharing the exact same printer profile in Cura
Vielen dank für dieses Video, ich kann nur sehr wenig Englisch aber ich habe so einiges verstanden. Um was es mir ging war der Teil mit Buld Plate Adhesion ! Danke 😘👍 Leider ist Creality Prind nicht auf Deutsch 😪
Maybe if creality focussed more on the slicer than all the adds and irrelevant sales on their redundant app the slicer might actualy be less problematic,but from My side Creality print is a definate NO GO on any platform
In my opinion there is only one useful advice when it comes to the Creality slicer: don't use it ... For nearly all Creality printer models there are profiles for Prusa, Cura and/or Orca slicer and all 3 of them are better and more up-to-date. Also, if you run into trouble they all have better documentation and a much larger community to help you.
I'm one of those types who say 'don't knock it until you've tried it' and having tried it.. I have to say, you're completely right. That said, I have the Ender 3 V3 KE and so far for ease of use Creality Printer is the only real option right now. Orca has a profile, but it throws up weird errors and doesn't want to send my gcode file over Wifi. If I had the habit of using a USB drive it would probably be what I use. Having run into issues with Creality's Slicer beyond the 'just print it' tasks, I guess I will have to get into that habit.
@@RutgersSieve I'm currently having the same problem when using the creality print slicer on both my crealtiy printers (CR-10 smart & Ender 3 V3 KE). That being thick tree supports, rough layer lines and poor end results. However For my CR-10 Smart Cura gave me amazing results so that's my go to for it, but I still need to test cura on my other printer (if there is a profiel for it). Any advice?
You are right, there are some great Slicers out there that do an amazing job and have some great profiles for many printers. Some of the Creality printers are not in those slicers yet and people do want to start printing with these printers, that's why I make these video's to help them going. By time there will be profiles added to those slicers and then users can use those slicers as well. Thank you for your wonderful comment! 😊
I'm using the Ender-3 KE with Creality Print and sending my files directly to the printer. did you add this printer via the workbench in Creality Cloud?
I don't know if they pay for it yes or no. But hooking it up to PC... we had those days, where you had a failed print, because of updates on the computer or when the computer crashed...
i have officialy given up on crealitys awfull slicer and would never suggest it This slicer wil cost you Time and Money No wonder everyones using ways around it to rather use any other slicer on the web,so far everyones packing up and headed to Orca and i must say,first print allready gave creality a hiding in their own back yard on my K1c
Just got my first 3D printer, Ender -3 V3 KE and I have learned so much from this video, well done! I'll be watching more.
I'm happy that this helped you with your KE, really Cool
yap that was a lot of good information. i just bought an ender 3 V3 KE too. Mozambique.

Thank you for helping me. I'm very new to 3d printing and you made things easy for me.
Great to hear! If you need anything else, I'm here for you
You are right! I'm struggling! Tx for precious tips:)
You’re welcome ☺️
I am new to 3D printer, this was a great video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

really really useful video. Thanks a lot !

Supports, are their connections to the model like the connections to a model as in 'raft'. Thanks for the info.
Yes, exactly
What print speed do you use for tall objects ?
Depending on how big a object is... if it is rigid, then you can go fast, but if it tends to vibrate, then slow it down.
Nothing wrong with slower print speed to get success. If you are using the K1, I would use the 300mm/s for the rigid parts and 150-200 for the more delicate tall prints.

Thank you so much for you time. Help me to much.
Glad to hear that
any ideas for infield setting? seems like the generic settings print too dense
Under print quality settings if you havent found it, like the print speed modes
It depends on the Profile you are changing, it could be something like 15-25% infill and you can lower it to maybe 10%.
You can find that setting under Shell you see the Infill
Here for the bonus tip 👀
Thank you

Hello, sorry for my late reply. Yes that is what I'm pushing the manufactures to do, making profiles that work with the normal slicers
So is this slicer ONLY for Creality printers?
Or can you create any machine profile for a different brand printer like you can with Cura?
Like Cura, are there the start and end print code areas?

I think the K1 is great and is justified! And guess what, the Creality OS is actually Klipper...

Can you make models or do you have to upload files on Creality Slicer?
Hi, you can design your own models or you can find them online via Printables or Thingiverse.
Could you make a clearer speed setting video in Cleality Print?
Oh can do that, are you looking for something very specific? Did you saw my latest video about Creality print?
Hey how can i add my ender v2 Neo on Cura?would appreciate your help

Danke fur deine reaction. Ich weis, schade das es nicht auf Deutsch ist
Thanks man this helped alot
Glad it did help!
Seems my creality print version is different from what you're showing I wonder why
Yes, I have noticed that. Which one do you Have?
@@Zachary3DPrints 5.1. Their software resolution is off, doesn't match to screen's resolution
Yeah, more scrolling on the right side... it's not really convenient
Thank you
Thank you too
Thank you.
You're welcome!
If possible to use .8Nozzle ?
If possible please update video full configurations setting sir
I have ender3 v2 printer
I can Do that, give me some time... I won't take that long
@@Zachary3DPrints Thanks for your reply sir
Thanks!
OMG… thank you very much 🤩
thank you
Thank you too
Je bent nederlands he?
Why would you think that? But I wan't really made a secret about it. 😉😊
Your english is verry good but i can hear the accent
Oh... I tried to cover it... failed 😂
grt video

Yes, I agree with you on this. I make these videos to help out people that want to use "their" slicer.
But noo support for Ender 7 😢
Yeah, that is kinda weird from them... they also have several other printers not in there as well. Need to use Creality Slicer instead

They pay mad to wireless print when they could just usb to their pc and teamviewer from laptop/phone v.v
Already pay for net/phone bill so might as well.

Sorry but The Ender 3 v3 KE is a network printer
Oh, did I mention that it wasn't a network printer? Because I know that KE stands for Klipper Edition
Merci Merci 💪💪
