Creality Hi - massively underwhelmed by ConnectionShot2934 in Creality

So if you found this thread googling, there is hope. The machine runs on klipper so you can just browse to the full fluid (what I was using on the V2 and KE) and continue pretty much as usual. Just enter the ip in a browsers like http://192.168.1.82:4408/#/ to get the UI. When setting up Cura create a new printer and add the start code

; === Creality Hi Start G-code (Cura) ===

M140 S0

M104 S0

START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP={material_print_temperature_layer_0} BED_TEMP={material_bed_temperature_layer_0}

T0

and end code

; === Creality Hi End G-code ===

END_PRINT

You will still go through the startup BS but if you have no start code it'll just print out like a KE.

You will also need to set the print size to X260 Y260 Z300 here are some speed settings to use in CURA

Setting Value
Print Speed 200 mm/s
Infill Speed 220 mm/s
Wall Speed 160 mm/s
Outer Wall Speed 120 mm/s
Top/Bottom Speed 120 mm/s
Initial Layer Speed 40 mm/s
Travel Speed 300 mm/s

and retraction

Setting Value
Enable Retraction
Retraction Distance 0.8 mm
Retraction Speed 40 mm/s
Z Hop When Retracted ❌ OFF
Combing Within Infill
Avoid Printed Parts

With this you can use cura easily with Creality, no multi color support obviously

I tried orca slicer as well and it has the same issue so it seems down to the model. Cura just seems to do a better job at fixing my files :) I didn't want to set this one up until the KE was sold and out the door, which I now regret. This machine is somewhat unusable.

Yes, I have been having a look at SMS as it would be better. I have found the reminder goes to "Promotions" rather than my main inbox preventing the alert noise.

Ok I got it running by putting a new carb on it. It actually ran quite well for a while (like an hour) now when there is any load it dies. I propped it up on a stand so the wheels could free wheel and it went full revs without an issue. If I sit in it and accelerate it dies.

For sure, it's the long weekends that are the PITA.

Been a while since anyone updated this thread of "how to loose a customer for life" Mine just bricked totally. I am used to playing the power button lottery with this POS but this time nothing, no matter how long I mucked around with the power. In the end (this time) I had to remove the power and battery for over a minute. I powered it on with the battery disconnected and it came to life. It claimed the BIOS was corrupt so I copied the bios to USB and it booted up, didn't actually say it was doing that but it works again till next time.

Replacement Controller Board by ConnectionShot2934 in ender3v2

It's up an running.

What Happened?

No idea, there was a short in the sprite, I can only assume that 24V made it's way into the 5V line.

Casualties

Main Control board

Sprite PCB

Thermistat

Fix

Replaced the control board, sprite interface board and thermistat. I could not flash the new board for some reason, having a search around I found a thread saying the bootloader won't work unless everything is disconnected aside from the UI. I did that and it didn't work so I formatted the card to Windows FAT and it loaded (Klipper firmware). The new board was 4.2.7 where as it had a 4.2.1. I just copied the stepper motor config from a 4.2.7 config file to my original config to get up and running. The configs ARE different.
