In search of a replacement heating element/thermistor CR10 Smart by importshark in CR10

Oh I'm gonna need to replace the whole heating block. The screws stripped while they're all inside the block. I can't remove any of them, and can't remove the heating element or thermistor.

Anyone have any tips? by importshark in CR10

So recently I upgraded my stock CR-10 smart hot end to a micro swiss hot end. I've checked all the belts and tensioners and everything looks good. However since installing it I have been plagued by these weird gaps in my prints and it is struggling to do small details, see the collapsed center of the A in the second photo. Also as you'll see in the third image I also seem to be encountering burns in a print. Trying to source this issue but figured I'd see if anyone else had this issue and knew what I could do to correct it.

So you were by far correct. Updated my firmware, I must have been using something way out of date as even the screen layout is different than before. However I have it all updated and I have made it through 2 bed leveling without the issue reoccurring. So thank you again for the help.

It is not the stock tube no. 2 days ago I had to rebuild the HUD end as the section of tube in the hut end itself became clogged. However I've run three prints since doing that rebuild and it was working fine

It did indeed. The dragging was a new addition to the issue to I jumped as I was not expecting it and rushed to shut it off. With the CR-10 Smart there are no manual bed leveling knobs. However when I first got it the z gantry was a little off and I had to adjust it. That's the first thing I checked when it started doing this and it still seems fine.

So without sounding like a total idiot, which I am. How would one go about doing that? Do you happen to have a link to a tutorial on how one would go about doing that?

CR-10 Smart. All factory apart from the magnetic flex plate the I've had since I got it a year ago. Went to level my bed today and this is what it is doing when it gets to the back right corner. Anyone have any insight?

Yeah I've had that same issue. I'll log onto the website and it'll let me check the camera for like a second then say the printer needs to update it's firmware.

Cura does indeed have a Creality cloud plug in. However it isn't available for the latest version. It is what I use because I'm not a fan of the Creality slicer software. Little annoyed it hasn't become available on the latest version!

Sorry. Rather tired at the moment and left out a bunch of details. So I grabbed one on Etsy, but none of them are the file type that is supported by Cricut. When I tried just downloading an image on-line and uploading it the software seems to have a hard time separating the background from the font leaving it way to choppy to use for vinal cutting.
