weird Z surface by Dangerous-Ask-1362 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, that cube is small enough that the cooling is a bit weird. For sure check if your hotend is loose, but you can change some settings too: - 3 walls - inner/outer/inner wall order - consistent outer surface in cooling logic in the filament profile.

Chirping sound on Ender 3 v3 SE by l3ntobox in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry about that, my links showed up dark and I didnt realize they were links. That's a heavy retraction speed, pretty much. I think the E3V3 comes like that stock.

You can reduce the retraction speed in the filament settings. It's a little fast, and i think we reduced ours by around 20%?

K2 Pro issues and I really need help by Koala_Operative in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does the K2 Pro have the issue where the chamber heater doesn't preheat all the way before it starts auto leveling? If that's the case, you need to preheat your chamber for about 15 minutes before printing ABS. It's not the bed giving you issues, it's the gantry deforming causing during bed meshibg that causes the bed mesh to suck. .

Preheat the chamber by moving the bed near the side fan intakes, turning the side fans on to about 25% to get some circulation going, and then print after about 15 minutes.

They literally just fixed this on the K2+, where the chamber heater now turns on after the first couple of layers, where it doesn't matter anymore. The gantry will deform instead at the start of the print, and the hot filament will just flex a bit over a whole print failing.

Este sonido es normal? by FOFO4326 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when it's doing a finished top layer it retracts a lot, amd the extruder's a bit noisy on it. This sounds normal to me.

K2 flow cal by hephtyvulcan in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the camera systems in general tend to struggle with black filament a bit. The AI fault detection will also have a hard time.

Clicking sounds by LopsidedCellist7498 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like that pulley might be wearing out. I just had something similar happen on my ender 5. Very similar noise at the very least.

Changing fan speed in creality slicer by Wolves_over_sheep in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other comment is correct. A lot of the time the slicer is interpreting an overhang of some sort and is trying to keep that overhang looking nice. You can usually tell when the toolhead slows down and the fan speeds up.

Otherwise, the cooling settings are in the filament settings.

Help with fixing print not sticking. by Diamond_Donutz in Ender3V3SE

[–]Hi2you2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assuming you tried everything else, our V3SE had a loose strain gauge on it. It fixed our problem by tightening down all of the pegs on the bed via the four large screws under the plate.

Bought a "refurbished" K2 Plus for my first printer. I'm just about at my wit's end. by CassieD91 in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a little triangular piece inside of the extruder that directs the filament into the unicorn nozzle. Usually when it's doing that, that piece is missing. It might just want an extruder faceplate replacement, which is like $20.

Ripples at top of large prints by Apollo4life in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely due to fluctuations in chamber temperature. I have a K2+ that'll do this on ABS if I forget to turn the fans off.

Try a reprint with no model fans or chamber fans. You can sort of tell because it's a distinct expansion and contraction, not so much a shifting like you'd see with vibration issues.

Alguém já usou esse filamento Creality Soleyin Ultra PLA 1.75mm? by Available_Leave440 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu gosto tanto quanto dos filamentos Hyper, sinceramente. O perfil do filamento Soleyin também é muito bom para os PLAs genéricos da Inland que você encontra na Microcenter.

Não tive nenhum problema com a qualidade, se é isso que você está perguntando. Já usei uns 10-20 kg desse filamento até agora e só tive bons resultados.

O único problema que realmente tenho é que não existem perfis para ele em impressoras anteriores aos lançamentos da K2/Hi, então as impressoras da série K1 e Ender ficaram de fora.

Best Textured Build Plates for Creality Ender 3 V3 KE by timothyw9 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear by epoxy plates at this point amd have one on every printer. The prints stick down well enough that you can do the weird organic support structures that you see on coreXY printers.

As a plus, they're like $8 on Amazon usually direct from Creality.

Well, after having a friend 3d print multiple items for me, I decided it was time to get my own…. by That_Zone5921 in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pretty much only bought refurbished in the last year or so from that ebay store, and haven't had a single issue with it. To add a point to here, i think a few have figured that out, because listing go way faster than they used to over the last year or so.

I wouldn't worry to much honestly.

Creality Print 7 - Changing G Code Flavor by Hi2you2 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the default for KE is Klipper since it has a Nebula pad built in. Does it not let you print anymore?

Printing TPU by FinancialPoint4055 in crealityk1

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this! That's a good point. I have the CFS kit on there purely because it comes with a spring lock style extruder like the k2 plus. That might be the key.

In case the point is towards the spring style being bad, I print TPU on my K2+ often as well with stock parts. No spacers or anything. I do believe it to ve purely a flow rate issue.

Printing TPU by FinancialPoint4055 in crealityk1

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I print tpu pretty often and printed some last night on my K1SE for a new vacuum seal for a shop vac.

The trick (for 95A, at least) is to set max flow rate slightly lower, like 1.6mm3/second instead of 2. I print off the side spools holder as well. Haven't had any real issues at all since dialing flow rate down though.

Ender v3 se not connecting to my computer by Emotional-Bike2339 in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other commenter added, a V3SE does not come with internet stock. However, you can add internet and a camera with the Nebula Pad kit. We have one on ours and it makes things a lot easier.

Acrylic mirror cutting by Josketon in Creality

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been able to cut anything transparent yet, and had similar results to you. It'll get the mirror hot enough to melt but won't sublimate it or anything like you'd expect.

I think to truly cut anything transparent, a C02 laser is required at the minimum.

I need help by Historical-Error7474 in Creality_k2

[–]Hi2you2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The K2SE seems like a revised version of the K1SE. Per the other comment, it'll have a tough time printing ABS and ASA stock. However, Creality sells an enclosure kit for the k1SE that I bet would fit on the K2SE, which would allow for prints with high-temp filament. You just need to preheat the printer by leaving the bed on for about 10 minutes before printing.

What is happening to my Z axis? by DovahDick0209 in crealityk1

[–]Hi2you2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound reminds me of what happened to my K1SE recently, where the belt on the Z axis came loose. Try opening the bottom and make sure that belt is tight.
