CR10S PRO V2 Tiny Machines 3D Firmware Upgrade For Advanced Settings Including Probe Offset And PID

[@gw7895]

I bricked my CR-10 Pro V2 trying to update the firmware from Creality's website. The printer was stuck on the loading screen and wouldn't go to the main screen. I followed all the steps of your video. I think the main thing was using the firmware packet you have and xloader made all the difference. This was the only thing that fixed it! Thank you!!!

[@vbared]

Hi G W, Thank you for commenting. You're most welcome, I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time. I ran into the same problem as you when trying to update the firmware. Most of the resource files or software didn't match the instructions of the videos or didn't work for me. Best of luck with your mods!

[@livmor3442]

I cant thank you enough for this video. I was extremely frustrated for weeks trying to fix this printer and searched all over YT. This is by far the simplest and best explanation out there. Helped so much thank you!

[@vbared]

Hello Livmor and Prosper, Thank you for commenting and kind words of encouragement. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time. I've resolved just about every issue with this printer so if there is something that you might have questions about just ask so I can help you make it super reliable. I have several videos on this printer my latest one is the relocation of the filament sensor. When you look at that one you're going to see how it's changed since this video. Best of luck with your build!

I cannot begin to tell you how much gratitude i have right now, i have had a printer i have been fighting with for the last month and a half trying o fix my printer issue. I stumbled on your video over Christmas break and it's a Christmas miracle. Thank you!!!! easy follow as we have the same printer and you just helped me keep my $450 investment from becoming a parts printer.

Hello DGCosplay, Thank you for commenting and kind comments. I hear you, you would think that for a flagship printer the CR10S Pro V2 would have more community support. If you run into any questions about it just ask, I think I've had to deal with just about every issue with it. All I do these days is start a print and walk away. I haven't had to do anything to the hotend over the last 6 months. Happy New Year!

[@lemming1035]

I don't typically comment on videos like this but with all my frustrations over 2 years of 3D printing I knew I needed to update my firmware for PID tuning and also a better version of Marlin. This video walks you through everything you need to know and a little more for the CR 10S Pro V2. Not scarry at all to do, except for when all the new screens pop up for the first time while flashing. *Power off and then remove SD card* Side note, My printer came with a loose wire for the y axis stop and after taking the bottom off to inspect the white Z+ connection I found that other 3 wire plug going to D11 had the yellow wire loose as well. Thank you Sir for the detailed and real time walkthrough.

[@vbared]

Hello Lemming1035, Thank you for your kind comments. Yeah, the fast icon/character flashes during the display update doesn't look promising. Great job finding those loose connections. Those would have manifest as either dead components or worse yet intermittent problems. When you are ready for more check out one of latest CR10S Pro V2 videos where I completely swap out the 8-bit V2.4 board for Creality's 4.2.7 silent board and Ender 3 V2 HD display. Now I can run Miguel's Professional Firmware or Klipper with all the latest Marlin feature like linear advance and input shaping. Best of luck with your mods!

Hi Victor, I rarely (really VERY rarely) comment publicly on anything. I own a CR-10S Pro V2 with Z axis sync (after and as you recommended, with X and Y linear rails, and more recently a Micro Swiss NG extruder). These wildly exciting upgrades led me to read and see your posts: I am forced to say GREAT work sir, and thank you! Your comments rate among the very best; thank you Victor.

Received my CR10S Pro v2 the other day and I nearly tossed the thing out of frustration. “Upgrading from an Ender 3 I thought this would be a walk in the park. How wrong I was. It is crazy how few videos and lack of support there are for this machine. After repeatedly crashing my Extruder into my bed and 12 hours of constant swearing I finally got this thing to print with your help and a fresh install of the firmware. Thank you for making this, your thorough explanation and calm attitude. You are the man 🤘 Also for those that complain about bed adhesion being too strong, trying pouring a reasonable amount of 90% Isopropyl alcohol at the base after the print has cooled. 10mins. Later the print will come off with a spatula no problem. Thank you again! 🙏

[@vbared]

Hello Douglas, Thank you for commenting and kind words. I'm glad you got your CR10S Pro V2 working. I agree with you that for being one of Creality's flagship and easiest to setup models it should have easy to find support. Thank you for the alcohol tip. I trashed my bed trying to remove some PETG printed models from it. A 1/8 inch thick Garolite sheet cut to size in place of the stock build plate is a high performance and budget friendly upgrade that I did on my Ender 3 V2. I bought a WhamBam for the CR10S Pro V2 (which works great) but expensive before finding that Garolite works just as good. Best of luck with your projects!

@@vbared thank you so much. I really appreciate you offering further assistance. I agree. You’d think there would be more support. As popular as these printers are, I’m blown away on how little info there is. I’m pretty new to 3D printing and it was very discouraging to find such poor documentation regarding this model or even this series. I’ve even tried contacting a few different companies like Tiny Machines. I’ve emailed them several times with no response. I even offered to pay them to fix it for me. If I remember correctly, they’re located in Houston as am I so it wouldn’t even be hard to get my machine to them. The printer has just been collecting dust for the past few months and I decided to search again today to see if someone had possibly made a tutorial for dummies ( me) lol. Your video was one of the first ones to pop up. Seeing it has rekindled my excitement to get it up and going. So again, thank you for the video and a special thank you for offering further help!

Thanks for the great video, one addition: the printer needs to be turned OFF before connecting the USB A wire to flash mainboard

[@vbared]

Hello 3BeePrinting, Thank you for commenting, kind words, and awesome tip. I didn't try plugging in the cable with the printer off, mine was on when I plugged it in and flashed it so I guess it can be done both ways. It does make sense for it to work with the printer off as well since the USB cable voltage supplied by the PC powers up the printer board and display. Best of luck with your mods!

Thanks a lot for the video 💪 I have some issues with the filament change function when the filament runs out… It first pushes 400mm forward and then when it starts movinh to the last point of the print it pulls out the entire filament. Espeacially for the direct drive it would be nice to push only 8cm of filament an then resume the print

[@vbared]

Hello Maurice, Thank you for commenting. I'll have to see if i can figure out how to compile firmware to address this issue. The Tiny Machines version is already compiled so I have no way to change that. I did run out of filament during a print with a direct drive extruder and it did push out a lot of filament but in my case it picked up where it left off without issue. I'll need to test this some more. Best of luck with your projects!

What an absolutely spot-on video. Really easy to understand and follow, it's very useful for the newbie and yet a great quick-reference guide for those with more experience under their belts. I have the original 10s-Pro, and the first thing I did was swap out the capacitance probe for the inductive one and haven't looked back since. I've had an E3D V6 plus a version 3.1 BL-Touch sat on my desk for around a couple of years. Hell, I've even modified the new boot screen with my name and logo, I've just never found the great need to do the swap. I don't know why, I've upgraded or modded everything else in sight, lol. I have no excuse to not get this job done now, and this video has made for an excellent refresher. Thanks for the up.👍 Looking through your other videos, there seems to be lots of other interesting content to go through. *Subbed.

Hi Loneman, Thànk you for commenting, subscribing, and kind words of encouragement. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time. When I was searching for this info most of it was either not clear enough for me or the flash file directories changed. After many days of scouring the forums I came across the right puzzle pieces to complete this firmware upgrade. It's amazing to me that for being such a flagship printer the support is seems to be so low. If you run into any questions, just ask. I'm still learning but would happily share what I know in the hopes of saving others from getting frustrated. Best of luck with your mods!

Hi. Thanks for the video. There are other similar videos quite clear for me, however your tutorial is clearer than some others. BUT... it seems there are no enough informations about what to do if for any reason the firmware upgrade goes wrong. You also don't consider the eventuality... have you at least an idea what would you do in that case?

[@vbared]

Hello Giuseppe, Thank you for commenting and concern about the flash going wrong. If you are searching for ways to improve the performance of your printer then the stock firmware is no longer meeting your needs. If something does go wrong and you mess up the control board then it would need to be replaced. The stock board is the limiting performance factor for this printer. Check out my video linked below for the way I upgraded it so I could benefit from faster print speeds and improved print quality.

Thank you very much for the very intuitive and simplified sharing. I have a question that maybe you can answer and allowing more users to take advantage. I finally upgraded the ender 3 to the cr10s pro version 1 without bltouch and replaced the proximity sensor with an end stop, finally allowing coherence on a glass bed. However, in terms of calibrating the stepper directly on the printer, is it possible to use the board and screen firmware upgrade process described in this video, even without bltouch? Thank you very much.

[@vbared]

Hello joaofonseca3281, Thank you for your kind comment. If I'm understanding you correctly, you have an Ender 3 that you installed a CR10S Pro V1 board, touch screen minus the proximity sensor, and limit switch as the z-endstop?

@@vbared sorry was not explicit. I have a cr10s pro v1 that I replaced the proximity sensor with an endstop but to complete the upgrade, I wanted to have access in the menu to the steps/mm for calibration, since from the pronterface at the end of a print the printer resets to factory values, even recording the values ​​with the m500 code. So I wanted to update the firmware in order to have these tools directly on the printer. Thanks

That's not what I meant. Sorry for the misunderstanding. probably due to my bad english, I'm using the translator. What I meant is, I sold the ender3 and bought the cr10s pro v1. I replaced the proximity sensor on the cr10s pro v1 with an end stop, so I don't have the Bltouch. Now I want to calibrate the steppers to the printer. So I connect the printer to the prompterface to calibrate the steppers. I introduce the new values(m92 x__ y__ z__ ) and save (m500). Then I confirm if they were properly stored (m503). Apparently everything is ok The problem is that after printing, I check the values ​​of the steps and they are back to the original values. Now I want to install a firmware that allows me to calibrate the steps/mm in the printer menu. My question is: Are the firmwares in your tutorial only functional for versions 1 and 2 with Bltouch? or can i install the same firmwares on cr10s pro v1 without bltouch. I can't find any firmware for the cr10s pro v1 that accesses the steppers/mm calibration menu. I hope I have clarified. Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for your interest and help.

Wait about 10 minutes then press "Store Settings". To PID tune the bed: Set the bed temperature, Start the PID tune for the bed (the display will say finished but it's not), wait 10 minutes, and store the settings. That's it your PIDs are tuned.

Thanks for this. I have the exact printer cr10s pro v2 with version 2.4. Stuff I tried before bricked my machine. I did exactly what your video said and it came up like your video same screens etc. Hope at last but the hotend temperature temperature was -15c. After the hardware upgrade I did check the temps to make sure nothing got busted both temps about same. But with software upgrade the hotend is -15c. Guessing the hotend sensor went bad measured the ohms across sensor going into the breakout board it is 94k ohms which is close to the 100k ohms they are supposed to be. So maybe it is software, went to github downloaded latest hex file and it is still wrong -15c temp. Not sure what to do next.

[@vbared]

Hello dougleppard, Thank you for your kind comment. I would try swapping out the thermistor, PID tuning and trying again. I didn't experience this issue myself so I don't know for sure. Since the making of this video my CR10S Pro V2 has gone through many changes because I was tired of not having access to the advanced firmware features like input shaping, pressure advance and unified bed leveling. I swapped out the original 8k board for a Creality 4.2.7 silent board that has 512k of memory, added a Raspberry Pi with Klipper, lead screw timing belt, a Micro Swiss NG REVO direct drive extruder and JUSTHANGIN's G10 Garolite build plate. The PETG prints are now beautiful, complete at half the time, I can print on the whole bed without any adhesion issues or need for scrappers to get the prints off.

Hello Jamie, Thank you for commenting. I show the hex flash file being 443kb and the display file is 51.7

[@BushPigADV]

Really too bad you can't punch in offsets for "home" instead of moving the limit switch and adding spacers. So when I "home" the machine the probe should end up center of the bed (150, 150). manually put in 150,150 the extruder should be in the physical center of the plate?

[@vbared]

Hi Bush Pig, There are a couple of ways to do it. Both require compiling your own firmware and preconfigure it for this setup the other to preconfigure the non-touch display which displays these settings needed to change the home positions. Tiny Machines 3D sells a kit. I actually bought it but decided to keep the color touchscreen and just mechanically alter the home positions. I'll see if I can learn how to compile a firmware for the CR10S Pro V2 and share it.

[@vbared]

My bed measures 12 3/16" wide and 12 5/8" deep. With the mechanical mods my nozzle sits at 6" x 6.5" when I punch in X-150mm and Y-150mm. For me it's close enough but I can understand wanting the right way to do it. I'll dig into it some more and see if I can get it working without having to lose the color touch screen.

so if I have the stock nozzle hotend bl touch etc I dont need to do the probe offset configuration, right?

[@vbared]

Hello Bruno, Thank you for commenting and great question. If you haven't moved the BL Touch from it's factory location then you don't need to do anything with the probe offset. The stock firmware in your machine has the correct values programmed for the factory BL Touch's stock position. It's only if you move the probe more to the right, left, forward or back that the probe offset values need to be updated in the firmware or settings menu if available to the you. I had to update my firmware to gain access to these settings that the stock firmware doesn't display since everything with my hot end mount was moved around from the stock position.

I would imagine you can run a flavor of Linux that is compatible with Klipper on a PC and then just use a big USB hub to connect all the printers to, each one will have it's own port. Maybe search for multiple sessions of Klipper off one Raspberry Pi and apply some of that port info into to your Linux PC setup.

@@vbared thank you! Would you say that the PID tuning is required for stock Hot end?

[@IrulianDark]

Wonderful video. I seem to have an identical setup (including the direct drive from Micro Swiss which is what led me to download the Tiny Machines firmware because I need the x offset). Unlike you I'm having all kinds of issues with the firmware . Specifically it has disabled the auto levelling button (it's visible you just can't select it), and when you go into AUX level it ignores the probe offset (even though it recognizes it perfectly when you home it). When trying to measure the probe also ignores the offset and starts levelling with the probe off the bed (again, it's ignoring what I'm setting and looks to be going back to the factory offset even though it's clearly set). Any ideas? I noticed there are a lot of firmware versions for this printer and you used the BIL_DW7.4 I tried that one and the newer 7.4.3, but what are the differences with the BIL_ME or BIL_MC hex files? I don't know where to find this information or how you came to conclude which one you needed. Any insight is appreciated.

[@vbared]

Hello rashton33, Thank you for commenting. Give me a call [phone] so I can help you. It might be confusing for me to clearly communicate what you can do without you being able to ask me to elaborate on points that you need more info on.

[@IrulianDark]

@@vbared I really appreciate the offer and will probably take you up on it but have another small problem to investigate first. I had my first successful print last night since upgrading to direct drive. Only now, for only the second time in about 3000 hours of print time, I got filament pushing back up - only a bit - it actually came out sideways from the block - weird and it continued printing fine for the next ten hours so the flow stopped before it got bad. I might have to watch your installation video - I must have not seated the tube properly. I've got three months of printing to catch up on, that and fixing my Ender 6 is next on the list. Thanks again and will talk to you soon.

[@vbared]

@@IrulianDark Hi Rashton33, I just went through the same repair last night. I noticed oozing from under the silicone cover dripping down the tip. The heat cycles can cause the tip to heat brake mate surface with the nozzle to open up. It sucks when it happens and messy to clean up.

[@IrulianDark]

@@vbared Hey Victor I've got this thing dialed in fairly well now, just two oddities. (1) With Tiny Machine firmware it never remembers the Y probe offset value. Every time I turn off the printer or finish a print job it goes back to zero. It remembers x and z without issue. (2) Issue and maybe I'm dumb, but after doing the AUX levelling and then hitting measure it comes back with the message " set z offset". How? Wasn't the literally the point of measuring is that it now knows the z offset? I'm 99% sure it didn't do that before the Tiny Machines firmware. What I'm doing for now is manually adjusting the z offset while it does the brim on my first print job.

[@vbared]

@@IrulianDark Hi Rashton33, After making changes you need to store them in the EPROM. There is a picture of a chip on the lower right of the screen in the adjust steps/mm button. After you set it make sure to press the picture of the chip that is labeled store settings. You also have to press the store setting chip icon or the button on the first tools menu before shutting down after you dial in your z-offset. Let me know if that works for you.

[@vbared]

Hello Kimjongun, Thank you for commenting. I hadn't heard of it before but just looked it up. It's a custom version of Klipper that works with the Creality touch screens, right? I'll have to procure another Raspberry Pi. Give me some time to gather the parts and learn how to install it. It sounds promising. I'm currently using Klipper on one of my Ender 3 V2s and it works great.

[@kim__jong__un]

@@vbared yes, that's correct! Desuu is Custom Klipper firmware with working touchscreen. Difference is that Klipper is another dimension firmware! Raspberry Pi 32bit CPU is fully in control of printer, not shitty 8bit Creality board. Prints are much nicer because of that CPU power and powerful processes of information. Problem is that instalation is pain in ass and ther's not much information how to install on Cr-10s pro.

[@peebs2424]

Hello, My cr10s pro v2 is printing beautifully with the stock firmware. But recently I’ve been trying to utilize the filament change script but my current firmware isn’t recognizing the M600 code and just continues printing. I’m hoping updating the firmware will help with this feature. Have you ever tried this script with the tiny machines firmware? I just don’t want to go through all the trouble if it still won’t work.

[@vbared]

Hello peebs2424, Thank you for commenting. Unfortunately, I haven't used an M600 script. The folks over at Tiny Machines are super helpful and am sure they can answer your question. I've since replaced the stock 8bit board on the CR10S Pro V2 with a Creality 4.2.7 512k board to run Mainsail Klipper and take advantage of all the its advanced features like Pressure Advance and Input Shaping so I can print faster without quality loss. Best of luck with your mods :)

Yeah, man, I agree with you. The CR10S Pro V2 could have been an awesome printer out of the box had Creality used a different control board and made the touch display code available. I replaced my stock board with a Creality 4.2.7 flashed it with Klipper and ditched the display altogether since Klipper can be controlled using a web interface. If I need to be next to the printer my smart phone works great with the web interface.

Hi Chris, Thank you for commenting. The screen is the only part you have left to flash? If so I would try a different SD card. Sometimes they can develop corrupt sectors that data gets written to. Also make sure the DWIN folder along with its files are the only thing on the SD card. If the files are on the root directory of the SD without it's containing folder the flash won't work.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for commenting. Try formatting the SD card or using a different one. The PID tuning works but it doesn't display the status on the display.

Are you using the stock blue USB to Mini USB cable that came with the printer? Some USB cables are charge only and lack the data wires even though they appear to look the same on the outside. If you have the right data cable the printer will show up in your Windows Device Manager. If you don't see it appear there when you plug in your USB cable from the printer to your computer and are using the original data cable then you may need to update the windows drivers for it.

[@vbared]

Hi Glenncol, The CR10S Pro V2's advantage is the build volume. Unfortunately its lack of community support and proprietary touch screen limit enthusiasm for it. The Ender 3 V2 is an amazing printer that with a few hundred dollars in upgrades rivals the quality and reliability of printers in the $1000 price range. The community support is robust. If you decide to purchase the CR10S Pro V2 because of the build volume or because it's dirt cheap I would look into installing and configure Klipper to work with it. The CR10S Pro V2's software support is its weakness. Best of luck with your build!

Hello friend, Thank you for commenting. Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the screen issue you're having so I can only guess at a possible solution. In my opinion the biggest problem with the CR10S Pro V2 is its 8-bit control board and proprietary touch screen. What I've done to my own and recommend that you consider is replacing the control board, loading Klipper firmware on it which will eliminate the need for a display. All the printer controls would be accessed by any device that uses a web browser like a laptop, smart phone, or tablet.
