In today's video we go through how to upgrade your Creality CR-6 to the Community Firmware. In combination with our all metal hotend, this will allow us to print with higher temp materials. Even if you have a stock CR-6 SE/SE Max this upgrade is one that will completely upgrade the features and experience of using this printer.

Nice work. The Micro Swiss hot-end is here and I am currently printing out the 40mm hot-end cooling shroud adapter to help with the upgrade. The community firmware is still by far the best upgrade for the CR-6 SE by far and we cannot thank Sebastiaan and his team enough for this.
I remember watching you back in the day for rgh mods cool to see you're still making videos dude. Definitely just subscribed
Thanks Daniel, I was hoping the firmware would be released with the higher temps but you did it for us!
I was actually surprised there was not a version available since it seems like it would be a fairly common upgrade. Glad to help and it was fun to play around in Marlin a bit :)
I JUST got my new MicroSwis extruder replaced on my CR6-SE. The first test print was pretty decent. I still have a bit of tuning to do to get er fine tuned enough that I can resume 3D printed RC projects. So far I'm LOVING the upgrades. THANKS for the FW that allowed us to increase print temps, & for the videos on this machine!
I think the new extruder will serve me well, especially since it's coupled with the upgraded hot end!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
I have been trying to update the firmware on CR6 SE for 4 days and almost gave up the printer for dead! I watched and followed several other videos and could not figure out what I was doing wrong!
You were the only one who just happened to mention the need to copy the 3 kernel files into the set folder if I’ve never run the community firmware update before!
The other videos were great but in my opinion your video was the most thorough for us newbies!
Bought my machine used many moons ago. Just found out watching this video it has a tool tray, and I have a nozzle wrench! Thanks!
Thank you very much for the video!. It helped me a lot. Very good firmware development. I recommend it, excellent work by Sebastian's team. Now the printer has leveled up and it is excellent. Thank you very much again for teaching how to install this fabulous Firmware. Greetings!.
Thank you for providing much-needed information
This video saved my butt. I accidentally booted my CR6 with the SD card that ran my octoprint and it really didn't like that. Would not boot past the splash screen after that. Thanks for putting together such an great instructional video!
Thanks Danie, the video is incredible and the best is the update with high temperatures for slightly more technical materials. I have a cr6 max with the same motherboard and I would like to be able to change the temperatures. I appreciate the help.
Thanks Daniel. Your video helped me update my Printer!! I did not increase the temps because I am really new using the 3d printer.
Awesome! Happy to help 😬
My beautiful CR6E became a figher jet. Thanks you so much ModBot.
Hello, i am really happy about this guide and about your "tweak" of the firmware for the cr-6 se! I have tried doing the temperature "tweak" for my cr-6 MAX as well, without any luck.. Is there anny posibility to use your version of the firmware on the MAX?
Everything worked great for me with the exception of the initial motherboard flash. I had to use a different formatted card than the one that worked for the screen. Be patient and keep at it and it'll work out for you.
Thanks heaps, I kinda miss-flashed mine about 6 months ago, but other than losing all languages except Chinese, which since it still used regular digits, and I knew the menus backwards, I kinda just kept using it from memory. Anyway, with such a complete guide, I figured it was time to remedy that, and wow, the auto bed leveling is so much better, no more messing around with offsets! Liked and subscribed mate.
Oh, yeah, and it's back in English! ;)
Dont even own a cr-6, but I still enjoyed watching the video! Also had to go look up what the no watch dog version was.... thanks for that hahaha
This is really awesome, thankyou
Hey guys for anybody having the "firmware flashing incorrect" error ITS THE SD CARD that connects to the motherboard not the screen one. Trust me i was frustrated for hours. all i had todo is change the sd card with the firmware and it worked immediately. Its crazy. So happy it works now. Credit goes to the commenter who suggested it originally. I just wanted to enforce that it definitely is the problem.
Thanks! Worked super easy!
thanks man!!! This is a great video!
Great video. I’m now running community 6.1 with your temp recompile. Excellent!
I want to print more high temp materials and the micro Swiss looks like right/only all metal option. Once you tuned it, is it any more prone to clogging etc than the stock Bowden tube?
The exact video I needed. Upgrading with creality firmware is a nightmare.
Awesome video thank you so much it’s working
Followed this step by step all worked great. I couldnt get your firmware to work but the other one did. I had the same board as you as well. It was just in a boot loop. Also. Its safe to remove the SD after flash and first boot up correct? Then I can use the SD slot as usual? Thanks again great video.
Thanks for the well done upgrade! Glad to have these new features on my CR-6SE, which I just got yesterday.
Thanks, Daniel. As a side question, do you have a preference for the CR6-SE or Ender 3-S1? I'm a beginner and might like to print in Nylon at some point. Thanks for your response.
Thanks Daniel.
I hope you had a great weekend :)
This was a great video and super easy to use. But my printer won’t level and then of course doesn’t print at all correctly. Firmware seemed to download cotrrectly.
got any videos on z-offset on octoprint?
Any chance you could throw a max-temp version for the BTT CR-6 board on your drive? I had one of the original (likely to catch fire) boards and recently replaced it with the BTT board (has UART control and the ability to not run the annoying mobo fan all the time).
Great video, easy to follow and very thorough. I also upgraded to the Micro Swiss hot end and decided I'd update to the latest community firmware. Successfully flashed my Creality TFT screen, then the motherboard with your increased temp build. On power up, I get an audible tone and a message on the screen saying "build 60 found but expected 61". I flashed the the screen again with the CR-6-touchscreen-2021-03-27 DWIN_SET folder, but still have the same error. Any ideas or anybody else reported this issue? Tried Google but no love. Where do I find 61?
a it late. but, flash the 300C firmware, do all the calibrations especially PID tuning, then flash the normal one. this seemed to help the 2 i have, and they are even different generation boards.
I am converting my Creality CR 6SE over to be able to run higher temperatures I’ve already put in the micro swiss hot end. QUESTION; do you know of a better (heavy-duty) aftermarket thermistor than what is currently supplied with the Creality CR 6SE? Thank You, Bob Griffith
Do u have this for the cr6max? And can the bed size be edited to take full advantage of the large bed? Also can u edit z offsets more than .5?
Everything went well. Autoleveling OK. But very soon after starting a print, I will get a message that the print is succesfully completed. On every print, no matter what slicer I use. I used a Creality v1 mainboard and now a Creality v4.5.3 32 bit mainboard. Different board, same result: 100% after a few seconds.
What are the main benefits for the upgrade for the all metal hot end?
I’ve been trying for two days to update my printers firmware for this issue and have failed miserably
Great video! I appeared to successfully flash the touchscreen, but I keep getting the 'firmware flashed incorrectly' message on the bottom of the community upgrade screen. If I select a function, the back button won't work. Not sure what I did wrong?
I have the same issue ! Have you found a fix?
I just bought the CR-6 SE and the motherboard version is Era v1.1.03 out of curriosity did this board version come out soon after the v4.5.3 with more bugs/fixes to the hardware version v4.5.3 which was suppose to take care of the USB issue in some v4.5.2 boards. Not sure why creality went from v4.5.3 to v1.1.03, version wise it doesn’t seem to make any sense?
I'd love to see a video where you go over your settings for Cura with this updated hot end & firmware!
I JUST got done upgrading to the Micro Swiss hot end on mine.
In the past when I've had issues the bowden tube would clog up on me. My fear is that if I clog the metal hot end I might not be able to unclog it. It wouldn't be as simple as pulling the Capricorn tube triming it, slamming in a new nozzle, & going again.
I installed a Micro Swiss all metal to my ender 3 pro and changed the max temp to 300. Does anyone know if the stock ender 3 pro thermistor can handle temps higher than 260?
something tells me that the ABS part at the end is a voron 0.1 part...
ive got a question. No one seems to want to provide a proper explanation as to why the nozzle temp is set to 0 when leveling the bed as the z axis goes down. wouldnt you be getting inaccurate measurements of the bed if youre probing all 16 points at varying different temperatures? so one point can probe at 149 then the next gets probed at 140 and so on.
y para la cr 6 max no tiene? despues de istaalr esto la renaudacion de corte de luz no me va bien
I followed these directions to a tee and now my printer won't work and the led on the hot end just blinks. I got the right version. 4.5.2 , I formatted not 1 but 2 separate cards . Now the machine is a brick. Fantastic....
Have a question I updates my LCD firmware now i cant get the onscreen back button to work tried a couple times ?
Everything looks fine, except: I can't print since I updated. When I start a print, it says: load/unload filament, but the filament is already loaded, and it worked before the update. No matter what I'm doing, the print never starts.
What did I overlook?
I tried your way of flashing the update and when I turned it on it came up with firmware flashed incorrectly. Question is which one , the screen or the main drive ? How can I tell. Thank you for your help...
Big question... I have a CR-6 SE and mostly print PLA and the thing prints perfectly out of the box.. Why should i update besides the features? will it print even better? im trying to see the added value of the hassle of installing the firmware on a printer that prints perfect out of the box?
The community firmware is far superior to creality's which is so bad that you won't believe how bad it is until you change to the community firmware upgrade. DO IT NOW you will not regret it.
Is linear advance coming?
I've been trying to update my printer for 2 weeks with absolutely no luck. Hopefully you can help. I've got to 6:35 in your video and my screen does not show the boxes off to the left to chose the 3 items to move over to the other file. Totally new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
not sure if you figured this out but when i downloaded the new firmware those kernel files were already included in the dwin folder. nothing to move and everything flashed correctly!
Is there an increased temp firmware for the 6SE MAX?
Hello how are you? I have a CR-6SE, I was printing for more than a year without problems, until it stopped extruding, it starts printing the first layers of the piece, but after a few minutes it stops extruding material, but if you push it by hand, it flows usually. change the
all hardware components Hotend, barrel, heatsink, teflon capricorn, and place a metal extruder. It had started fine, but every two prints, one goes wrong and gets stuck again.
I have two CR-6SE for now, one has been working without problems.
I already took it to a service, and they returned it to me the same.
I would be very grateful, if you manage to detect the error and share it with me. Greetings.
CR6 Max?($900) Don't see a CR SE MAX but that would be a cool mod like the ender extender.
How do I access the files you created? Sorry I'm new at this.
I was able to get it to work. My SD card was to big. I guess I should pay more attention. Thank you for making it easy for us newbies.
Hey mam. Is there a way to contact you, or anyone for help. Im having problems with this firmware and dont know where to get some one on one advice. Thanks
My CR 6-SE orginal extruder broke. I put a dual gear aluminum extruder. What is the printer e-steps?
115
So i installed the community firmware on my CR 6 and i started experimenting with multicolor prints so i added a pauze in Cura slicer and that worked perfect. The machine pauzed and i could change the filament to the right color.. However i could not find a way to resume the print.. I think i tapped on everything i could find but could not for the life of me get it to resume. So i decided to cut the power and then after powering it back on i got resume but then it started printing way to high in the air.
So my questions are:
How can i using the community firmware when i sliced in a pauze with cura resume printing?
Why did it start printing in the air when i powered it back on?
If anyone can help me gain any insight with these problems its much appriciated!
I think if you pause in the gcode then you'll need to resume in it as well? Perhaps you can insert a delay to give you time to change the filament.
When I turn it on the screen just shows it down loading then it beeps and stays on the loading screen, What can I do?
hello there.. I followed your instruction to the letter until I tried to do the "pid" and I got the following: "HEATING FAILED The target temperature for the nozzle or the bed was not achieved within the allotted timeframe. This is usually caused by a too cold environment, damaged or incorrect hardware, or a poor electrical connection within the unit. Verify your hardware and environment, and try again.." :(
Is this printer worth +$200? A friend wants to sell me hers. I already own a 3 Max and looking to add another.
Please I need help, i followed the instructions and when i plug in the touchscreen and turn on the power, the hotend area just blinks blue, did I do something wrong?
Did you ever find a soulution?
@@shaneshanahan8897 yes, I had to replace the touchscreen panel itself.
I installed your firmware but it still wont let me go over 250 on pid tuning.
Hi nice video, exept when I downloading and unzipping the file the file "firmware-210327-155336" is a media player go file ??? and not a dir.
Hey, when i go to do the screen firmware it never goes to the blue screen. Any ideas?
It has been some time but I would double check everything again. I remember it being very fickle and I may have had to try it a few times to. Different micro SD card may be worth trying as well.
Your link Purchase CR-6 SE Here (AFF): not found
why is my screen all black and white? did I do something wrong?
PLS HELP!!!!! did both screen going black not working
Anyone coming here with an unresponsive display (the progress indicator goes all the way then just get a beep). Use the same micro SD card you used for the display. Then you know the card is good if the display had updated. Also make sure to do a full format. Do not just do a quick format if doing the format from a gui.
Would the stock thermistor reach those higher temps?
Thanks Daniel for making the modified firmware with the higher temps available. But I am in the same position as Alvin. Are the stock thermistor and heater cartridge rated for these higher temperatures? I don't have a problem with 260°, my issue is with repeated use exceeding this.
Le estás copiando a MisterCarlos?
GTFO, these printers are trash... its ridicious home much tinkering you do than printing
Summary: The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you have to flash multiple times to begin to try to make something work, then the hardware is garbage. Just get rid of it. I'm tossing this printer ASAP.
