Dear @Just Vlad, Your Videos are allways exactly that what I need. Here in Germany I cannot use your links. Can you please tell me that exact name of the filament and the manufacturer? Hope you will create more of this nice stuff in future.

Can you clean up the silk filaments? Like the seam or the little marks where the nozzle left and came back. Would an exacto or any other cleanup tool make it look better or would it just look worse by trying to mess with it?

[@Ms-Garage]

where can i find the 3d models you used in this video, there absolutely awsome!

[@MinecraftLetstime]

This was my first 3D printer and I just got it yesterday, as a complete noob and new to 3D printing, I just assembled it following this video, I downloaded the calibration cube, sliced it with the Creality slicer, and boom, it printed perfect for my first print!! I have the 3D Benchy printing right now and it is also looking absolutely perfect too! I am very happy that my experience in 3D printing has started like this! I didn't have to do any trouble shooting or anything which I thought I would have to do for my first time printing.

[@raulruiz6872]

I'm thinking about buying this as my first printer, please would you tell me about your experience after 1 year of use? Does it still print on good quality? Would you recommend it?

[@gearslayer-vn3gz]

I have been using this print for over a year and it is still putting out great prints. I have had success with abs(although from research asa would have better results) and have been printing 95a flexible filament which just needs some glue stick to keep it on the bed. The auto leveling takes all the work out of it and i just tweak setting to maximize print time or quality. I have printed probably about 10 kg of material with no replacement parts. It worked 10 min out of the box and it is working 400hrs later

I just this as my first 3D printer. I have no prior knowledge on how to build, or operate a 3D printer. I used your video instead of the instructions, and I’m printing a Benchy right now. This was an awesome video, very informative, and exactly what I was looking for!

This is a fantastic review and guide! Thank you! I'm a newbe to 3D printing and backed this as my first. Very excited and I'll pull this back up when it comes to building and ensuring everything is set up right!

[@baz8755]

Awesome video! This is my first printer and I can't wait for it to arrive. Watching this video will definitely help me build, setup and resolve out of the box issues. I would recommend this video to anyone who has bought or considering buying this printer

[@raulruiz6872]

I'm considering buying it, would you recommend it after one year of your experience with it? I don't like much the type of extruder but the rest si good for me

[@The4GunGuy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm brand new to all of this and instead of following the manual, I just stepped through your video right along with you and had a perfect first print! I really appreciate how you solved the printing problem...Keep up the great work! Sub'd.

[@grantmelocik1703]

Excellent and I am so glad I watched. I just received my CE6 SE MAX (yea, it was really late) and I would not have thought to check and tighten all the factory installed bolts before setting it up. Many of my bolts were loose and with a frame this big rigidity is critical. Also had several loose wheels to tighten. I plan to use a 1mm nozzle as this printer is for big parts and using a 0.4mm nozzle is like shooting BBs out of a cannon. Will try to repost and let everyone know how it works. Update - printer is up and running with the first prints perfect. I don't know if any of Vlad's suggestions are the reason, however, I have had none of the many problems people have written about. Next steps are to try printing using Prusa slicer with the needed changes (I do not want to use two slicers and my other printer is a Prusa) and then change to the 1mm nozzle.

[@entilzhar]

got it on Kickstarter as well, really cant wait for delivery, looks really cool

[@benheynen2705]

I had a look through your comments and cant see if you have let us know HOW you adjusted the extruder. I have done the estep check (97mm extruded for 100mm request) but im getting all kinds of first layer adhesion, stringing and general inconsistent extrusion issues with my CR6SE. I have pretty much found every loose and out of adjustment piece on the printer (a few new ones thanks to this vid) but it would be amazing if you could detail what you did to fix the extruder and send out your settings so at least we can all try to replicate what you have done especially on the filament that came with the printer.

[@Bajicoy]

Thank you for another very useful printer set up video. I found your video on the Sapphire Pro very useful when I got my first printer, and again now as I set up my second. My CR-6 SE is printing beautifully from the initial set up following your advice on how to adjust the roller tension.

[@martinezrx71]

what were the settings for the astronaut. and what part do i have to tighten and loosen on the extruder ?

[@davidhbrown0us]

I appreciate the explanation of the eccentric nuts. While the CR-6 is my fifth FFF printer, it's the first I've had that uses the V-rollers/channels. Mine needed adjustments in all of Y, X and Z. The extruder carriage (the X axis) was so loose, I thought maybe you were supposed to pull it off to swap nozzles!

[@BjornAre84]

Tnx for a great video, my first 3d printer was the ender 3 pro, and as you guessed i had problem with the bed leveling. And it killed my interest in 3d printing being a newbie and all. But now i hope this CR-6 can be my way back into 3d printing :D

Appreciate this video very very much, this is my first dive into 3D printing, heard great things about this printer and for the price it was a no brainer. Its great I can follow along with this video and make sure that everything is working fine and able to print everything i need with no issue

[@OutlawNix]

First off I don't currently own a 3D printer but I hope to get one at some point. There is some things I like about the Creality CR-6 SE which is the follow. First thing I like is the CR-6 SE is more easy to assemble compare to the Ender 3 versions. The 2nd thing I really like about the CR-6 SE is it comes with auto leveling right out of the box. The 3rd thing I kinda like is the included filament detector which could be used in some useful ways if your smart about it. You could very well be able to use it create a 3D prints that uses different filament color's. Something like making a vase where the bottom half is white and then the top half is red or something like that. One thing I dislike about the CR-6 SE is the bowden tube connector's on both the extruder and the hotend they are plastic held in place by a plastic clip. I know they include a couple plastic replacement bowden tube connector's. The question is how long will those plastic bowden tube connector last and will you be able to buy replacements for it at a later date. I know the CR-6 SE also includes couple extra nozzle's for the 3D printer as well. Now my question is I know the CR-6 SE uses .4 nozzle but the tip look's a little different then the nozzle of the Ender 3. I searched Amazon for nozzles for the CR-6 SE course nothing showed up. I wonder could you use the .4 nozzle from the Ender 3 on the CR-6 SE.

[@MickeyLeeBukowski]

Thanks for the video! Got my CR-6 last weekend and this helped me get it up and running fast.

[@FD-xu1ez]

hey, how is now ? do u have any problems ?

[@thewraithe]

I'm so frustrated by the utter LACK of quality from my prints on this device. This is my very first 3D printer and I have spent hours upon hours tweaking settings and trying to get any filament to print right. I got the Creality filament prints to sort of work well, but I bought various Sunlu filament (one wood, one white, one gray) and all of them print a mess. I've tried the stock 200C setting and ramped up from there all the way to 220 with almost no success. Nowhere I've seen has mentioned the extruder issue, so I will try that and see if the quality improves. Thank you!

[@josephcutwright1607]

when it was under extruding try making sure the e steps are good because sometimes there not pre set right

The photoelectric switch on mine came broken and I didn't notice until after I assembled. It isn't broken off completely, only the plastic prong looking peice that covers the LED inside. I'm hoping ot won't give me any issues. I couldn't find much info online about to see how crucial of a peice it is or what it does exactly. This video was very thorough but I was hoping maybe I can learn more about that. I reached out to Creality a couple of times but no response...

Hi Vlad, I have a question (this is my first printer). When you're plugging in the screen, and stepper motors, what are those little yellow "U" shaped things? On my printer, they're only on a single wire out of the ribbon cable, and there's only a few (whereas it looks like you have a bunch of them).

[@AndrewAHayes]

I wish Creality would produce a standard issue board that has changeable stepper drivers and maybe a choice of drivers at the point of sale. This would save money on upgrading and I suppose the ultimate printer is one that comes with parts that don't need to be upgraded.

[@thorb5191]

This one pretty much will. 32 bit board and 2209 stepper drivers. The test units were only 8 bit with 2208 drivers

[@antonioscrittorale1718]

Hi I just got this printer I noticed that the screen "buttons" are different I don't have PREPARE" mine says READY instead. I have leveled the printer that went fine I am trying to get the filament to feed I get it to go in the Filament Dector and have to use a pliers to lift it up a bit to go into theExtruder . I did release the lever and it slides in but will not go any further. I am stuck any suggestions?

Hello friends. I have this printer. When it starts printing, it first prints a thin and long blank line on the left side of the table to fill the space of the leaked filament. I haven't used the printer for a long time, I started using it again the other day, but it goes straight to printing without doing that blank printing thing. I don't understand what happened. I didn't play with the settings. Is that movement in the printer itself or was it done by the slicing program? Can you please help?

But the prints do look great can't wait to see in person.

Did it at first grind when you first auto level? For example it would go to the 3D printing board and would stay in one spot and grind? And so the outer rim?
