Creality CR-10S Full Assembly To Print Guide

[@nyceuc2660]

Thank you for doing this video, your instructions for spot on. I had no issues following them. Great job, really made my life easy. 👍

[@Keep-Making]

Great to hear NYX EUC, Happy Printing!

[@onemandalorian2073]

Great video, I got the older black and white instructions on wiring(all parts compressed together). Ended up pausing yours and got me through. Thanks mate.

[@Keep-Making]

So glad I could help!

[@airman9820]

Thank You!!! Just got my CR10s5 going with your help. Benchy printing as I type. My first print ever.

[@alwayshungry331]

Loved this video! Do you happen to be cleaning the glass bed every time you print? Thanks!

[@Keep-Making]

Great to hear Sarrah. Well my rule of thumb is that if I know it's dirty ie i'm getting failed prints then I clean it. Usualy I just make sure I take all the dust of with a very clean kitchen paper towel before use and then i'm fine. I think in a year with about 50 oh prints I've only cleaned it 6 ish times

[@atylerpearce]

Thanks for the video. Great production value too. I am starting down this rabbit hole. And have my CR10S on it's way Sunday. I will be referencing this.

[@Keep-Making]

Great to hear Tyler, and thank you. What program will you be using to design things for it?

[@LPJenks]

just got one of these printers. does it need the glass bed top to print? the person who gave it to me said it was warped.

[@lubovgeorgeable]

That sucks , I dont have bed auto leveling on my cr 10s5

[@ElRednaxela]

how would i go about adjusting the z offset? My first layer looks a little too far from the bed

[@niveknailgun]

I have this model but do not have Auto bed leveling in the menu?

[@Keep-Making]

Hi Nivek, I've heard this a few times. It seems like you may need to update the firmware of your printer.

[@irin949yes9]

I just got this and put it together but when I try to auto home it started making a loud noise and I’m not sure what I did wrong 😑

[@kidrobot2k4]

Hi my extruded gear will keep slipping upward even I tried to tighten the screw after few hours of printing. New unit so shouldn’t been a worn out parts. Couldn’t figure why

[@Reftravun]

Very good video, especially liked the paint covered fingers ;-) For PLA I use a unheated base machine, though my old chisel isn't as smooth on it as your scraper!

[@Keep-Making]

Cheers Andrew, Glad you enjoyed it... Ya the paint was the last touch-ups of the workshop 😂. hmmmm I'll have to give it a go unheated as I've never done it any other way. I guess I've just followed the trend a bit blindly there.

[@wyannick888]

Thanks for the instructions. As a starter, it was easy to follow (had to pause and slow the video 100s of times ;)) , although it took me quite some time to set everything up (I had to manually bring up the Z-endnote because the plate was too high and I could not lower it with the wheels beneath the plate) and eventually print the benchy. But it worked! A great and smooth benchy!

[@Keep-Making]

I'm glad I was able to help wyannick888 and great to hear that you got it all sorted out in the end 😃

[@mightymark]

Idea's anyone? I have the CR-10S printer like you. I noticed you did NOT choose the CR-10S in the Simplify3d drop down menu, but you chose the CR-10. Aren't the CR-10 and the CR-10S printers different? There is also a CR-10s PRO in the list too, but this is also a different printer.

[@MitchC-vr8nw]

Thanks for telling us to run the wires under the frame after we've assembled the lines

[@Keep-Making]

Ah... Interesting I usually watch the whole portion of the video that goes with the step i'm going to be doing. I'll keep that in mind for future videos Knifehand.

[@ntlsalvaa3409]

Bro Thanx for your help

[@midatlantictools]

Is this your first 3D printer? I was looking into getting a 3D printer and this one was on topof my list.

[@Keep-Making]

Hey, it's my 2nd one. That I have owned. I did use to have a zortrax m200 but that is one hell of an overpriced closed system printer. I'm really happy with my CR-10s. I did have to send back the first one I got from amazon tho... It came with a broken thermostat on the printer head. A small 10-day delay but the second one has been working beautifully. I would recommend it myself for sure. Just make sure you look at 3d printing as a hobby that will get better with time as there is quite a lot of settings to test out and wrap your head around.

[@Czarek71055]

Thank you, very helpful

[@keithsantos]

Just got my CR-10s and you video was very helpful, thank you! Do you normally run the printer with the clips on the bed? Did you ever end up using the glue sheets provided to adhere the bed? Thanks again!

[@Keep-Making]

Hey Keith, I'm so glad the video helped you out. I use it with clips and I still do all of my prints with pure clean glass and I have no problems with it. The real key to it all is to be super clean, No dust not nothing.

[@shadowmaxXL]

Should you switch the voltage input or leave as is from the package?

[@Keep-Making]

I have no idea... very much depends where you are in the world.

[@cindyrolon78]

Hi! First of all thank you for this video. My 12 year old son asked me for this printer and when it came I was able to put it together bc of your video:) I know nothing about 3d printing. Quick question…. There was no option to level the bed on the lcd screen. I saw that we probably need to do a firmware update but the printer is not next to a computer. Can u recommend an affordable laptop that I can buy so we can do the firmware update??

[@joshbracken5450]

Any basic laptop will do

[@REKTcity]

excellent video thanks!

[@Keep-Making]

Are you having trouble getting the filament in? I get that some times, you just need to fiddle it around a bit.

As in you can't find it in the menus?

[@christopherreid8370]

So what do I do if I want to put the filament sensor in? It looks like it’s blocked by a chip?

[@Keep-Making]

Hey Christopher, From what i'm aware if you want the sensor it's one way and it should be a little stiff as you as pushing apart a connection with the filament.

[@christopherreid8370]

@@Keep-Making is it something I really need though? Also wondering if you can help me with the bed leveling as I have the CR-10s and no auto leveling I’ve gotten one corner but I can’t lower my other corner any lower and I can’t get the paper to slide at all

[@niyazicakar9703]

Hello, I need the software of the product. Where can I find it?

[@Keep-Making]

Hi Niyazi , I think you're looking for a slicer? In the description of the video, you have 2 Cura and Simplify 3D. Cura is the free one. I hope that helps.

[@kousakasan7882]

wow... this glass is not flat. when I set the corners to 1 sheet thickness, the middle is 3 sheets. I flipped the glass and set the corners to 1 sheet, and now the nozzle is tight against the glass in the middle...

[@Keep-Making]

Ah the infamous cheap glass... I was lucky that I only have about a 0.2 - 0.5mm change in layer hight on mine which i'm more than happy to just over extrude in the first layers to compensate. In all honesty, you have 3 options. 1. Do what I did. 2. Buy better glass, most people swear the best are Ikea mirrors. 3. Follow this slow and painful ( and in my opinion painful) process kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpucl5Rua8-crJI ( I hope that helps ) Remember to approach 3d printing as a hobby that will get better with time.

4:54 this is where you lost me. Going to look for another video. Thanks. Update: you didn’t really show where the holes I was aiming for were located. The legs should be in the center of the T

[@Keep-Making]

Hey LB, Sorry you got lost. I really had no idea how to show this in any other way at the time.

[@LB-yg2br]

@@Keep-Making It's all good, I used your video for literally everything else, and I ended up coming back after I figured out how to put the legs on. I was having a HECK of time trying to blindly screw while slowly nudging the legs back and forth to find "the sweet spot" when the screws would catch. I mean, it is so obvious NOW that I have it set up but when you don't know how the thing is supposed to look, you do a lot of stupid things to see what it might be.
