After following this video, my nozzle was still hitting the bed. Figured out I had to adjust the z-offset adjustment and this can only be done while you start printing. You can start any print and while it is warming up adjust the number. I had to adjust mine from -2.5 to -0.2 and it resolved the issue.
Your comment on this lackluster video saved me from pulling my hair out. The video was certainly not helpful, but your comment is exactly what I needed. It's obvious he needs to learn more about bed leveling or at least update the title of his "tutorial" videos. Many thanks!!
Oh thanks mate! Worked it out, wouldn't do it before the print weirdly, but in leveling in the settings on the left you can change it but it doesn't tell you how much compensation is on until you get to a print! Cheers again :)
I have the same printer and I love watching your videos. I'm new to 3d printing and watching your videos gives me confidence to work on my machine. Thank you for the information and keep up the great work!
Thanks, I had Ender 3 then an Ender 5 pro. I bought a second hand Cr10s pro V2 which was part destroyed in the post. ( I won't buy second hand again. I could not get it working, this video was perfect for me to sort out the bed leveling it's seems so much different to the Ender 5. Thank you.
Could you share the measurement of the sitck that can with? I got my machine used and for some reason since I changed nozzle I can get it to print anything closer than about 1mm off the bed. I've used .2mm feeler guage to level the bed, the z access gantry is flat. I think the new nozzle may be every so slightly smaller despite being from creality and labelled as for the CR10s Pro V2, I think it's throwing off the bl touch sensor which is struggling to compensate. I've tried adding a -1mm z offset in Cura but it refuses to slice.
After a lot of problems with the CR10SPro V2 and still having issues, I purchased an Aqulia Pro which was half the price and so far apart from the reduced print area a much better printer. No failed prints yet.
I have the CR-10 Max. Just came in today. The belts are spinning and making noises almost as if the software is expecting the bed to be larger. Meaning after the bed or nozzle bottoms out in one direction, the computer tells it to keep going, hence the belt makes an awful noise
I have the opposite problem,, my nozzle is always approx 1 mm to high. Been trying for hours and days. Am about to get my baseball and smash into pieces...
Thanks for this. When does your nozzle hit the bed? Here’s what I’m experiencing with my brand new CR10S Pro v2: Start up & everything seems fine. I press Move -> Home. The nozzle ends up above the bed and the screen says 29.9. Zero drives nozzle into bed. Manually adjust screws to zero, enter 13mm. Ensure Z gantry is level. Set Z to zero and it’s about 5mm above bed. Manually adjust to zero. Go to Levelling. It begins to auto home. The head lowers, touches sensor on bed, sensor retracts, head rises, sensor drops. Head lowers, touches sensor, sensor retracts, head rises, sensor DOES NOT drop. Head lowers and wants to drive thru bed. Hit power. Start over. Try tripping sensor early to fool it. Then adjust manually to zero. Go to print. Does the same thing above and before I can hit power the nozzle gouges the bed!! I’ve tried about 100 times with no success. Ideas?
If I can trick it to get into the levelling screen, when I run Measurement, if it works it will do a similar thing to auto home. It usually gets one correct, moves the next quadrant, the sensor doesn’t drop, BL touch flashes red.
I have the CR10S Pro and it dosent look like yours nor did it come with a block or metal spacing tool. Mine came with a thick plastic paper with leveling instuctions printed on it.
Shit-Hot advice mate - better than sex (as I remember it at 73 years!). I picked-up my CR10S Pro V2 Today and remain busting to justify this, my new 'toy' to my wife - GLOOM. I have assembled it by trying to follow the included instructions ( Chinazeeze) and immediately realised that I needed help. Your video inspired me to create a new play-list, (and subscribe), in your honor. Thank you and Cheers, n.
How can it be that when i check te bed leven after a print. I have the level of the bad move up after eatch print? When the level of the Z axel will stay correct whit the Wood thool.
This is so frustrating I've followed the video to every detail and still it hits my printer idk what to do. This is a great video don't get me wrong idk what's wrong with my printer I hope I can figure it out
@@AntonsCreations I adjusted the auto leveling with the metal tool in the box I set the height where it was and I auto leveled again and it goes right into the bed after what do I do
So let me summarize on the bed-leveling actions order after the Z-Axis leveling: 1) Go to leveling settings 2) Disable Auto-leveling 3) Do the Aux-leveling 4) Enable Auto-leveling 5) Do the Measuring Is this correct?
So my biggest problem is my z-brace is not level and there is no videos out there showing how or where to disconnect to adjust for the off z-axis brace. Unscrewing the stepper motor mounts and retightening doesn’t work either does unlocking the motors and moving one side up or down (they do not stay) as soon as you turn on the printer the adjusted side drops again. Any fixes to how to level your z-axis bar?
hi Anton, thanks for your video! I am here as my printer has crushed the bed many times and I am not sure how to fix this. when I am going to Leveling, the printer performs the Auto Home and doesn't give me the chance to do anything else. do you have any idea on how to fix this? cheerio
Hello, i just got one of these 3d printers (second handed but in good conditions) and it didnt come with the wood tool, is there any link or page to get that specific tool?
@@AntonsCreations I’m still having levelling issues! I can level all four corners with the gauge, then do the auto levelling but the print still starts too far away from the bed. I have worked out how to adjust the Z height during print but this is about -1.2mm, I thought the self levelling was mean to compensate for the offset. If I’m having to do this what is the point of the BL Touch??
Just got my new CR-10s Pro V2. I have readjusted the level five times using aux, and no matter what I do, my nozzle just spews spaghetti like 1mm away from the bed. I go back to aux level, only to find it's 2 or 3 mm's from the included gap tool. I tried setting the z axis compensation to -1.50, but same laying spaghetti down from above. Nowhere near pressing nice hot filament into the bed. I'm very frustrated and ready to give up. Am I doing something wrong? I also brought my gantry to 100mm leveled. Can't figure this freaking 3D printer out!!!
So I’ve adjusted everything for the z to be 13 correctly but after I bed level and go to z it appears that it’s back to being lower. I don’t know what to do
I see you have the Wham Bam plate on. is it just the PEI Flexi plate or you have to add something else to keep it on? is it magnetic? Thank you for your videos I am still learning
I prefer the pei flexplate. Yes, it is magnetic and quite the fantastic addition for a printer. And no problem! Great to hear the videos are of help :)
Does anyone possibly have the length of the z axis tool? I never got one with my CR10S Pro V2 when I got it 2nd hand so figured I'll just print 😁 cheers
Hello I'm having an issue but I'm not sure if you can help. My issue is with the "Z-Bracket". Everytime I move Z couplings (the knobs to go up and down) they don't level. For example, I'm using the X-axis spacer to adjust the height except the left side always falls lower than the right. While I simultaneously adjust them to be even, the left side automatically falls lower as if its evening itself out. I'm not sure if there's an issue on my end or if it's a manufacturing issue but the bracket isn't evening out no matter what I do and its quite frustrating because its my first printer and I was very excited. I still am but I'm very close to just sending it back for them to fix because it's just not working..
Thank you for making this but after repeated attempts and countless nozzle crashes the solution was a firmware update/upgrade. The BL touch behaved very differently after I installed the Tiny Machines firmware. Just finished my first 12 hour print on this and it came out flawlessly. Also, for bed adhesion being too sticky pour a little Isopropyl Alcohol 90% around the base after it has cooled and 10mins later the print will release fairly easily.

Hey Anton. So z axis levelling was a challenge. Right side was always too high and everytime I lowered one side to level it the left side would drop too - even if I held one side while I turned the other. Saw a vid saying it's due to the weight on the left so I should tighten the bolt next to the wheel either side which I did. Now I can lower one side to match and get it even without the other side shifting. However I'm finding after every print that the z axis is out by 0.5mm to 1mm or more and I have to re-adjust it everytime (I don't move my printer around). Am also finding I need to go through the full levelling process after every print otherwise I won't get good adhesion, which is contrary to when the printer first arrived and I couldn't get the prints off the bed. Is this all normal or not? thanks
Dude, I’ve had cr-10s pro v2 for about 5 months now. It has been so unpleasant to work with. I hate the bl touch. It adds so many more problems than just having a regular s limit switch. Not to mention I’ve had to replace the entire hot end, the extruder arm, and this thing seems so shitty when it comes to leveling. Seems to not work hard the time I don’t get it.
I’m the exact same, I had an ender 3 pro prior to this and never had any issues, now I have the CR10s-pro V2 I have none stop issues. When it works it’s great but it only seems to work half the time
Thanks a million Times Anton! Your tutorial and narration was mucho helpful.Thanks for sharing and for your time. At the first-layer I had to lower the Z-axis comp by 0.55 is this OK?
I have fairly larger z offset as well. It has seemed to function fine for me. If it prints well for you, I wouldn’t bother much with it. Glad I could help!
Hey dude, I was struggling with the Z hitting the bed and sort of fixed it, but now nozzle is all the way up, and not going down or print at all...have you come across this? And how do you fix it? ps thanks for this video and the previous one both helpful 🙏🏽
This is not a good video. Far too much time spent watching the presenter and nowhere near enough on actually demonstrating what he is rattling on about.n It has left me very frustrated.
Do you have to level your bed each time you use a different layer height? I used the .2mm shim that came with the printer. What happens if I decide to print at .24 or .28 or even swap to a .6mm nozzle and print at .32 layer height
Got my very first printer today and scratched the hell out of the bed already, super frustrating. Gonna try to level using your advice but my printer didn't come with that wooden tool, is there anything else I can use for a cr10 v2 to help me?

I think we should collectively raise the issue with creality as it's a manufacturing defect and they to resolve it
