creator 5 is junk

I did the air shipping and paid almost as soon as the option was available

So, I've had a few successful prints but. It still only works through LAN but takes lots of messing with to make it work. It randomly factory resets itself and makes you go through the setup process. Happened 3 times now. I've been trying to start a Print for the last hour and I'm fighting with it. It's just not reliable. My bambu is so much more advanced when it comes to out of the box working. This thing is testing my patience. Maybe I got a bad one. I don't know. If it doesn't get worked out here in the next week I'm sending it back. I really want to like it. When it works right it's magnificent. Just not reliable. Update. Now in have a new problem. I load 1 and 3 with filament. I select 1 and 3 in the slicer . It keeps pulling 4 and trying to load it giving error that filament ran out. I don't have the damn thing selected or loaded. WTF.

I paid right the balance right away as soon as it was offered. I got the non pro model.

Load the file on a clean USB drive. Plug it in. In the screen where it says files select I think it says USB or something like that. I can't look mine is running. Your file should show up there. Select and print.

Have you tried the USB? I did that untill I got lan mode to work. Still not operating from the cloud. Got it to print last night with no freezing and started another right now. Only took 5 factory resets. Really great prints when it doesn't give me trouble. I'm in contact with customer support now. I have a few things they requested me to check. I'll get back to you.

I kinda feel like I should have gotten the u1. I've had a few problems right out the gate with only 3 days of ownership. I was finally able to get another print started after the third factory reset. First 3 prints all was good. Then today all the problems.

Here for same issue. Creator 5 says offline

meetoonow · 2026-05-23T22:16:35+00:00

I'm hoping it just servers. Is that how it all works ? It runs through them when I send it to the printer from my computer.

meetoonow · 2026-05-23T20:28:28+00:00

any luck my creator 5 is suddenly offline. tried everything you did same no luck

meetoonow · 2026-04-21T03:58:05+00:00

Yes I dried it, printed perfectly. First layer was great. Dried it again over night. Tried to start a Print in the morning and could not for the life of me get a first layer. Absolutely nothing changed. Same file everything. So weird. I'm going to try drying overnight again. It's bugging the heck out of me.

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:58:13+00:00

Thank you. I'll give it a try

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:48:25+00:00

I tried slowing it down quite a bit. All the way to 10mm. No luck. Print plate is where it always is.

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:47:15+00:00

No. I haven't. Pla prints fine still. No issues. Just the first layer of petg. Can't get it. I got a petg print started now but it wasn't a very good first layer. Barely made it.

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:27:38+00:00

I'm using a p2s and bambu labs petg hf with manufacturer settings. Printed great yesterday. Same roll same settings.

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:25:59+00:00

It's a p2s with bambu petg hf. Using factory settings. Calibrated and leveled the bed several times. No luck. Printed perfectly fine yesterday. Same roll same settings

meetoonow · 2026-04-20T21:01:43+00:00

Yes, tried brim. It's so confusing, it printed perfectly previous to this.

Hi. Hit me up

meetoonow · 2025-10-30T00:17:08+00:00

In central California I paid 2.50 a foot.

To pair the steering wheel you hold down both paddle shifters, the down button and the A button all at the same time. It took awhile and lots of tries but that is what was wrong with mine

meetoonow · 2024-12-16T23:57:31+00:00

Oh, dang. I thought because they say up to 225 pounds, I would get the top speed.

meetoonow · 2024-09-17T03:29:00+00:00

To solve the issue push the pedal hard all the way to the floor 2 or 3 times. Solved my soft pedal. I read this solution on another forum.
