Getting Started With Creality Print

This video is sponsored by PCBWay www.pcbway.com/
In this video I'll show you how to download and install the latest version of Creality Print. Then we'll move onto downloading a model from the internet, bring it into Creality Print, slice the model, export the GCODE and get it to your printer. @Creality3D

Thank you, I just got a printer recently, and this video has been very helpful.

[@pushingplastic7445]

Awesome! Glad it helped! I have a few more videos coming out for Creality Print. I hope you'll find them helpful too! Thanks for watching! What printer did you get?

[@brickandgear]

Very helpful video. Especially for someone taking their first steps into 3D printing.

[@pushingplastic7445]

Nice! Glad to hear that it helped. There will be good times and bad times, but stick with it. Eventually it becomes second nature and is a great hobby!! I have more videos on my channel to help with Creality Print and am currently working on some more! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!!

[@brickandgear]

@@pushingplastic7445 I'll definitely check out your other videos. There's a lot to learn from your channel and learning to 3D print means a lot to me since I need my printed parts to be watertight and keep my LEGO RC ships afloat. A "bad" part could cause collateral damage to motors, batteries, and electronics...

Thanks for that, instead of transferring via sd physically, is it possible to plug in the printer (ender 3 v3 se) via the usb c cable and print directly?

[@plumberlance]

can you make a video on the Device tab. It would be nice to understand the whole page.

[@aleshen]

Hey, I just got my Ender 3 v3 SE today (my first ever 3d printer). What's the best way to calculate max volumetric speed? Together with the printer I've got myself a Spectrum PETG Matt and I've looked up on it's specifications. From the formula that I found on reddit (line width * line height * printing speed) I got something around ~8.4mm3/sec. What I don't understand is why by default built-in Creality PETg profile has 18.00mm3/sec? Is it because their filament can be printed faster or the print speed of filament doesn't matter?

[@meisterham23]

I want to print with PETG on a K1-Max. How do I set the nozzle and bed temperatures for PETG. Also what about the Z-Offset distances.

[@FabianL96]

thx man didn't know it had a dropdown menu

[@pushingplastic7445]

Thanks for watching!

[@affalada6868]

Good video Brother

[@pushingplastic7445]

Thank you! I actually had to cut a lot out for time. There's a lot you can do with Creality Print.

[@jasonroberts9084]

when you transfer a file why does the pic of the creality not change to the proper pic or give a print time? I noticed in your video yours was 0 min. mine does the same. (just purchased unit) great video as well. I picked up on some errors i was doing and your step by step was great.

[@pushingplastic7445]

Good eye! I have to be honest, I never noticed it. I usually hit print and then watch the nozzle and bed temperature. If they're climbing as they should I usually walk away. Now that you've pointed it out, I'll be watching and see if I can come up with answer. I'll post it here so you'll be notified of it. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for watching!

bonjour, merci beaucoup

[@neilmaccubbin844]

Hi Bill. I watched the video where you fixed dimensions in cura using horizontal expansion.It was very informative. I have been using the creality slicer with my Ender 3 V3 SE. I have both slicers but I find Creality is faster. The problem is Creality doesn't have the hole expansion and my holes are .4mm to small. I am printing a lot of functional parts for myself and it is a pain having to test print every connection before I print the part. Is there a setting for it that I am missing ? Thanks

[@pushingplastic7445]

Good news! Creality Print does have Horizontal Expansion. Open the settings dialog and at the top of the settings box, turn on "Advanced", the click the "Shell" category on the left side of the dialog. Scroll about half way down the list of settings and you'll find Horizontal Expansion. Let me know if you have any problem finding it! Good luck! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!

[@neilmaccubbin844]

I found the horizontal expansion, I can't find hole expansion in Creality print.

[@pushingplastic7445]

@@neilmaccubbin844 Got it! My bad. I haven't see a hole expansion either now that you mentions. I just took a look at Creality Print again. Their tool tip says to use Horizontal Expansion for holes, but I know doing that will affect the outer dimensions of the model as well. I'll have to do a little bit of testing to see if that's true or not but I suspect I'm right. I'll also dig a little deeper for the hole expansion.

[@neilmaccubbin844]

Thanks

[@daanverstraeten]

Hey with creality print 5.0 i can't make gcode-file. I can export my project to an stl-file but that's it. I know there is a dropdown where you normally should be able to select another file type but there is none... Anyone any idea?

[@pushingplastic7445]

After you click "Slice Plate", right below that button there is the "LAN Printing" button. You can use that to send your gcode to the printer if you are using a printer that is WiFi enabled. If not, click the Up arrow on the right side of that same button and use the "Export to local" option. This will export your Gcode. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

[@corvusmoonpottery]

Haven't received my Ender-3 v3 se yet (this Tuesday) - but I'm trying to learn as much as I can before it gets here. Thanks for your video Mate!

[@pushingplastic7445]

You won't be disappointed. It's proving to be a great printer right out of the box! Post back and let me know your thoughts!

[@dirtyburger1657]

The link you provide for the slicer does not go to the slicer you are using in the video.

[@pushingplastic7445]

There are a few versions on that page. I was using the latest at the time. In fact. they've just put out an update a few days ago on that same page! Thanks for watching!

[@AndHrut]

Where can I set the distance of the first layer from the table?

[@pushingplastic7445]

I believe you are looking for the Zoffset. That is set from printers control panel. If that's not what you're looking for, let me know. But before changing your z offset be sure to do some research first! Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@sugar-alisportstv]

My Benchy is not printing. It does not give me the printing time. And, it keeps cutting off, and not starting the print phase. What am I doing wrong! I know that I am right there, but there is a small thing that I am doing wrong!

[@PizzaPieGaming]

thank you so much i did not did not to export

[@pushingplastic7445]

Export comes in handy. Even after you make changes that you want to keep as permanent. I've already made changes, forgot to export and at some point hit the reset button. I lost my settings....thanks for watching!

My language is Chinese, how to modify?

[@pushingplastic7445]

To change the language in Creality Print, select the 4th drop down menu option from the left (Tools) then select the top option in that drop down menu. That is for the language settings. I hope this helps.

After couple of years prusa slicer usage this feels really frustrating software…I tried, couple of times actually, but no…no way.

[@pushingplastic7445]

I'm not sure if you've tried Creality Print which replaced Creality Slicer? Prusa slicer does give a lot more control of the print settings. Have you tried Orca Slicer?

[@mikatakalo8376]

@@pushingplastic7445 …yes, just that one. I have tried pretty much all available ones during the last years and PrusaSlicer feels most comfortable and most continuous automatically updating. :)

[@robertaskey1479]

After you hit slice, thats not how it really works on the screen. After you hit slice it goes directly to more available downloads.

[@pushingplastic7445]

That's exactly how it works. Maybe you're not up the current release or you're using something totally different. You saw it on the video.

[@Anthony0330T]

I can’t see the file on my printer

[@pushingplastic7445]

My first guess is that you've placed the STL file on the SD card. You need to put the gcode file on the card. Take a look and let me know.

[@Anthony0330T]

I have the gcode. But when I try to opened again in the computer to make sure is there say can’t open that type of file

@@Anthony0330T You can try another sd card if you have one, or reformat the card you have using FAT32 format. Then move your GCODE file to card and check.
