This helped my issue of not being able to level. I turned the glass around and bam, worked perfectly. Thank you for that, saved a ton of headaches. This thing print awesome.
Sooooo helpful! Thank you for taking the time and sharing!
My CR-10 will arrive soon and now I know what issues to look for. Thank you very much for your information!
Kelly Klaas K7SU happy to help
"most people print stuff that they don't even need" is so true. We all do it ... because we can. I guess the value in them is practice and learning about your new printer. Thanks for another great video! Nice endorsement at the end too!
So true, Learning about your machine inside and out is a lengthly process and practice makes perfect (or as close as we can get). Daughter wanted to be in every video so this was one way i could make it happen lol, thus the endorsement. good luck and happy printing.
Love your videos. They helped a ton with setting up my first printer (CR-10). I found a trick if your glass seems warped and you can't get the middle level. I just put 1 extra strip of masking tape on the underside of the glass and then tried to level it all again. It took me about 3 strips to finally get it all level. So if the middle seems to be sagging I think you can fix it a bit by putting tape strips on the underside of the glass just only in the middle and not the outsides. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
You are correct, I made a video showing exactly what you said with the extra layer of tape as a temporary fix.
San tube you are my idol I adore you thank you so much for making this possible thank you so so so much love you San tube
Thank you Shyla my Beautiful Daughter. You are the S in Santube..
I just had that problem whit the glass i was a bit lower in the midle. So u put a small pice of plastic under the glass in the middle and now it works perfectly!! So you can try that before bying a new glass.
Awesome man, thank you! i'm waiting for my CR-10 S4 right now!
Man you must be watching the mail man like a stocker right now lol.
Thanks
here to help.
The glass on my cr10s4 was perfectly flat and uniform in thickness. The alumium bed however, was not. It was dished like a bowl and an inspection on my granite surfaceplate showed a ridicilous dip of 1,6mm in the center compared to the corners. I have straightened it as best I can, and it works ok, but I will be replacing it with one I make myself and grind or scrape perfectly flat and fitted with a 220v heater. It sucks so bad having to wait 20 minutes for it to reach 60 degrees to see if the print starts ok.
20 minutes is a long time so I can understand why its upsetting but good luck with the new bed.
Question: How do the printer settings you've configured in Cura actually get to the printer? I'm assuming via the memory card? If so, how?
Either from a direct connection from your 3d printer to your computer running Cura or yes, a micro sd in most cases. Cura will allow you to save the file in a format with all settings specifically made for your printer.
Hi san
I hope your fine
My switch on/off is sticking I can't turn it off I don't know why is it easy to take it off by the cable immediately?
I just wait until it cools then take it off
Basic cr10 from a year ago. Heats up just fine, starts to print. Gets about 2 to 5 mins in and just stops. Screen freezes up, button does not respond. Only way is to turn the on/off switch. Once powered back up, says "power interrupted" resume or stop print. Thing is, this stock printer isn't supposed to be able to do that. Also, it doesn't work anyway if I click resume. I have a continuous uninterrupted power supply running. The other printers never stopped, house never has a flickering of power going out. I even tried to start a different model up, still did it. Any ideas?????
My printer is just literally autohoming, and when I select one of the stock images on the provided, it homes to the center, but then it doesn't move down to the bed. It then says print process and the percentage increases, but it doesn't move at all! Any ideas why it isn't going?
Great video, as always! I have a question regarding the micro SD card extension. I have read that there are a couple of problems with it. 1. the male portion does not lock into the printer. 2. Once in place, if you remove card (to take it to computer to get file) and replace it the printer wont see it unless you remove the cable from printer and reinsert it. Is this factual information? If yours does not have these issues, I would appreciate specific brand and source info. On a somewhat related issue, have you tried to connect the printer directly to your computer? I tried tonight but gave up when I found out apparently it's not just plug-and-play, there are drivers involved, etc. Have you considered a video on this process?
Dan J the ad card extension works for me no problem. If the printer is on and u remove the card then plug the card back in it does not recognize it but you can initialize the card reader again( there is an option for that in the menu) or leave ur printer off plug in the card then turn it on, these two work for me. I haven't plugged a computer into it as of yet but I did try in the beginning and it is a pain but I have no need to connect it since my printer and computer are in two separate rooms.
like Ur videos, question I'm new to this 3d thing when I got machine it printed fine in center of bed but when i downloaded Cura it started to print in front left corner of plate. need help how do i get it to print in center again. ty
Hey please could you help me with my problem?
I am using Cr-10s printer and it has started randomly pausing between a print, sometimes saying "err: change fillament" or "print paused" while the filament is perfect and nothing is wrong.
I have just got the s4 , but compared to my ultimaker, it seems to take a long time to heat the bed up, 25 minutes to get to the 55-60 range, what sort of time is yours taking. Thanks.
IntenseDef Something is wrong it should only take four minutes or so
The problem I’m having with mine is when I click auto home it keeps dumping and it seems like it’s stuck at the very bottom left-hand corner as if it’s saying that that is home but when I keep changing the XYZ to match the center of the plate, even when I go to print some thing It’s not close enough to the glass to print properly and even when I click auto home again, it goes back to that same section instead of the center of the plate. It makes a loud, thumping noise like it’s having an error. Constantly trying to push itself in a different direction that is not matching the coordinates.
I'm gonna get one of these soon. Would you recommend the CR-10s over the CR-10 as its only around 100$ extra
The CR-10S because the amount of money your going to spend on upgrades will be more then just buying it out right. So CR10S, all the way.
Do you know if TPU works on the printer? I have the cr10s but I haven't had time to test it
I haven't used TPU yet. So, sorry to say i can answer that question.
Hi my printers z axis keeps on making some weekend notice every time it goes below a certain hight
Any recommendations?
I have a flashforge adventure 3 btw
Hi, we use many of the Flashforge Adventurer 3's for our business. I'll help you if I can. But what exactly do you mean by "making some weekend notice"?
1 MAIN thing with that printer that nobody told me for 6 months. It ships with the gear tension set to max. (It will still work like this.. but in 3 months you will have issues)
This is to help with shipping. There will be an allen key included in the maint bag with the printer. Use it to loosen the hex screw until it sits roughly flush with the casing.
Then slowly tighten it back up until you feel a change in the resistance. (Overall, it should be MUCH looser than it came)
Also, Flashforge PLA is best printed at 195c, even though the default settings are 210c. (The rolls will say 190 - 210c though).
We had some pretty bad gear slipping and 'clicking' noises on both printers for a week (causing under-extrusion). I tried EVERYTHING.
Except turning the temperature down.... I only tried up. Turning it down (and fixing the tension) fixed both printers to the point they are now better than new.
For any axis problems, just clean the guides and then re-grease them with a brush.
You should be able to do ALL the maintenance without taking off any of the casing of the machine.
If you want to unclog the nozzle, and are trying the 'Atomic' method, you may need to pop off the clear top window.
But for us, unloading the filament, unplugging the bowden tube, and then hand forcing some PLA down the extruder fixed any clogs we had.
We use the default flashforge software, and no machine upgrades (or replacements).
We print high quality model and experimental rocket parts for a business.
What do you do if it switches off
mid print. can anyone help?
Pls help, my printer axis won’t move and it won’t go home
Hi there. On my CR 10 when I enter Auto home position on the unit, It moves to home area, But my Y motor will not stop once it hits the stop switch. Dose anyone know how to fix that problem
I think you have your Y and X axis wires switched. Does the Y motor make a clicking noise then thats it.
Watch the cheap surge protectors - some a surge enhancers.
agreed.
@SANTUBE 3D
Good day. We recently bought a Creality Cr-10 V3 and was using itjust fine until we had to temporarily move it to another table.
Problem is, once at the new location, the printer just doesn't work. The bed and the extruder heats up but after starting to print, the printer just stops and the control panel is frozen as it won't receive inputs anymore.
Also when we set it back to home, there is this wierd pop that sounds like its coming from the extruder or bed, we can't tell which.
If you can send a videos it will be super easy to help. It’s harder to figure out from description. Did you guys unplug any wires or take anything apart?
@@SANTUBE thanks for the reply.
Yes I did disconnect the cables connecting the printer to the control panel but loose wires weren't the issue.
Apparently, my father copied over some files from his PC and one of them was a bin file. Not sure if it was the bin file interfering with the 3Dprinter but after reformatting the SD card, everything works again.
I just bought this printer and I'm trying to print something and the nozzle keeps getting clogged and nothing comes out. The extruder is not clogged because the filament itself can go though it. Any ideas how to fix this so I can start printing? Thanks
Swammyswamswam your printer should have come with a thin metal wire looking thing. Once the nozzle is warm stick it in there and that should free it up. Make sure there is no filament in the tube.
I just bought a 3D printer. The stepper motor runs, my nozzle is up to temp and when I execute a print, it moves around, but no filament come out. Anyone have any suggestions?
Did you check for a clog? Have you tried priming your nozzle by hand to see if filament comes out.
Sounds like the filament didn’t reach the nozzle. You have to feed a surprisingly large amount thru the tube. Heat up the nozzle and push until it comes out the nozzle.
Just got mine and the z threaded rod seems to want to keep coming out of the motor adapter. Is this common? If there a correct way to fix?
the is not normal. insert the rod back in and tighten the lock screws.
Ya thanks, I didn't think it was normal. Set screw was loose. Thanks for your content man.
I'm struggling to find anything thin enough to pass through nozzle to break blockage up any suggestions on what I can use also does anyone know where to order new nozzles
Its easier to just buy nozzle now instead of unclogging them but i would still recommend you try just to understand how to do it. Here is a video on that, its not the most common way but it worked for me.: th-cam.com/video/wEvIEVAJ_P8/w-d-xo.html. Here is a link for the nozzles: amzn.to/2zBemhi.
Hello, I have a Creality CR-10S Printer that I can't get to print. The z Axis goes up and down when homing but won't When Printing. It just stays on the first layer. Is this a printer problem or am i doing something wrong in Cura ?
You ever figure this out... I'm having the same problem with one I got secondhand
After printing the bed moves to the back instead of coming out front on my CR-10s. Any way to fix it?
check your axis wires i think you have the wire switched.
SAN TUBE the prints come out fine though
My CR-10 turned on for a moment and then shut off an now it will not turn on at all. Any advice suggestions as to get it going would be appreciated!
There’s a “switch” on the right side that says 230 use your finger a somewhat that can reach and put it to the right and now you’ll have 115v. Mine did the same and once I did that it came on.
Hey, is there a memory limit on the micro SD cards that you use?
yes, i use cards any where from 2gb to 18 gb.
Thanks! i'm trying to line up all the info i'll need for the upgrades. i plan on printing in PC.
hey Sam How tight should i tighten the wheels under the bed to stop it from wobbling? (not the ones to adjust the bed level)
baruch shad, tighten it is much as you need but don't over tighten it just enough so the bed doesn't wobble.
oops i think i might have over tightened them?! should i loosen them? what happens if they are too tight?
Loosen them up again, then tighten each wheel until u can move it and the bed moves with the wheel and then make sure it doesn't wobble. Then repeat with the other two.
kk thanks
what if everything heats up fine you hit play and nothing moves printer just counts down on timer as normal
Something is wrong in your g-code. Try slicing another model and see if it does the same thing. Now this would be just one issue. also try using another SD card.
2 types of glass, float and plate. plate is cheaper and is rolled across a large steel roller, float is as said , its floated on a bed of of alloy, and thats perfectly flat . plate has imperfections.. cheers
Colin Tonkasdad thanks for the info. Did not know that.
I have an ender 3 pro, when starting to do a print it stays to the left side edge going up and down digging into the bed tapping away with the filament at the bed
How do I fix this issue?
Check your z limiter switch to make sure it makes connect when the x axis comes down towards the be, by any chance did you modify your start g-code, also click on preference top left side , then printer, then machine settings and make sure your origin to center is unchecked. There could be other things too but lets start with that for now.
@@SANTUBE I had this issue with my Ender 3. Turns out I had the Z axis and extruder plugs swapped.
Hi, I'm nub. I have a cr10s with cura I just finished assembling/ setting up. I pulled up the little boat for my first print and loaded it up and it was doing pretty good at the start. Then.. it stopped paused there with the extruder still hot and did nothing. I thought maybe it was waiting on the bedplate to warm but idk why the extruder would stay hot like that and not relocate. Then it rezeroed and started from the beginning and screwed everything up. It did it twice. I'm running via USB to the cr10s. I can't get the card to work that it came with plus I like the onscreen read outs. Any idea what caused this and how to fix? I am using the USB wire it came with.
How did you connect using your computer (PC or Apple). Try printing something else and see if the file is the problem. As for the SD card no working. make sure its plugged in correctly because sometimes when you go to plug in the card it gets inserted in the gap above the slot. also get a SD card extension cable. sorry for late reply. Good Luck.
SAN TUBE pc a USB cable it came with. Using octo through cura.
SAN TUBE I think it has a short somewhere. The lcd display light level changes rapidly and i witnessed it go blank right before it reset last time. The SD port just don't work. I tried it every way I could without damaging the Port. It also doesn't want to go to the lcd menu sometimes when I push the knob. Instead it goes blank but the lcd display stays lit. I think I have a dud.
checking courier track section. (daily 5 times) printer has arrived in my area i hope tomorrow it will be delivered.
lol, most people do the same man.
you should check out the assembly video before it arrives.
A good thing you want to help out the new 3D printer users with your video's. Perhaps you did not intended to, but showing a spool of ABS filament as first buy to a noobie?
:-D
While the CR-10 technically can print ABS, without an enclosure the high frustration rate might scare the intended audience away from this great hobby!
lol, i didn't even realize it was ABS. thanks for the heads up. happy printing.
mine didnt come with cr10 soft wear its 20x20x20 theres abunch of machines i dont know what to print
how do i print straight from pc
i haven't figured that out yet. i still use the SD card.
i figured it out needed to upgrade my software thats about it thank you
i want to use glue stick but i don't know which glue to use?
any clear glue with work but Elmers glues is the most common.
Hey, I just started my first print on my cr-10, everything was going fine until after the heating. The vertical metal rod started turning back and forth over and over again. Please help
Are you talking about the Z rod, thats the one that pulls the X axis up and down.
Yes, it is the metal rod going up the side of the back left post.
vimeo.com/245092227 for a video of it
I think you have your wire crossed. double check your z, y and x axis wires to make sure they are connected in the right places.
I had to put the file on a different SD card to get it to print. That still doesn't help explain what is wrong though.
if all you did is change the SD card but had the same file then it mite have just been the card.
hi. i'm french. i'w waiting for it... anyway just started following you. very usefull and sharp video. just don't change anything. could you just post the link of the facebook group ? regards. Eric
Thanks, sorry for late reply. Heres the link to the Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/CrealityCR10/
tks. nice videos. 👍
My printer (creality cr 10 s5) x axis is not moving. At all. I can move it with my hand but it doesn't move when the printer tells it too. What do I do?
Sorry for the late reply, Sounds like your connections are connect correctly. You mite have to open the control box to make sure the cables are pushed down all the way. Easy way to check if its you cable or motor. Take the Y axis wire and connect it to the x then try to move y axis and if your x axis moves then its not the motor you just have a loose connection. Hope this helped.
@@SANTUBE I have been talking to customer support and I'm about ready for a replacement, hopefully what you said helps, thanks!
@@iforgor227 Good luck to you bud. Hope everything works out.
@@SANTUBE so I got it to move right. But now it can't move left
thattrojanguy tru to auto home frist
lol that's a Imovie intro music you used.
Rawdilz just keeping it simple lol
My printer keeps printing in the corner and I want it to print it in the middle
By default the CR-10's home is top left corner, this is a very easy fix. Open Cura, click on Cura at top left then Preferences then printers then machine settings then uncheck where is says machine center is zero and that should fix you problem. Good Luck!
my printer de bed is sturdy but it vibrates
Check your screws, tighten them up.
My creality cr10 didnt come with an sd card. (false advertising). do i need it? and if so where coould i get another. My printer came with no instructions. But i already have it built ready to go... i think?lol
amzn.to/2wyWxjq ----- SD card extender.
amzn.to/2yIZkrq ------ Mirco SD card
Allen, I thought mine didn't either. I found the sd card stuck in the back of the thumb drive. Sneaky bastards, LOL.
I wish that was the prob. The discripion said that it’ll be included but when I couldn’t find it anywhere I contacted the seller and then said that he made a mistake and forgot to delete the Sd being included. Also it didn’t come with a flash drive. I would’ve paid more for full accessories and how to operate. But thank god for the Internet and youtube. I’m just waiting for SF,tr, extension, pro filament and back plate to print on. For some reason I couldn’t make the usb cord to work to print directly from laptop. So yeah, playing the waiting game till the 31st
How about making a video showing what to do when an object from won't print? I'm trying to print an item called the Screwdriver Stand on my Monoprice Maker Select 3D Printer and it just refused to print! At first I thought it was because the size was too big at 200mm which is the max. size so I reduced it to 95% but it still refused to do anything. I even made a new version of it in 123D Design and that won't even let me make a GCode file of it in Cura! How can I find out what the problem is?

ok let me try to print it and i will let you know what happens.
SAN TUBE i need help.......plz meassage me
How can i help?
SAN TUBE sweet I was just gonna sleep, but since I got u her I go,

2. I have absolutely have no idea how to transfer a made print on thingongverse to the cr 10.
I can show u what I mean through a video, do u have a messanger.
LMK thx
Please speak up. I love your video, but I can't understand it.
Sorry for th audio, i have since then got a better mic.
