How to Get Perfect Prints on the Creality CR30 Print Mill

In this video I'll show you how to get perfect prints on the Creality CR30 Print Mill.

[@itsrachelfish]

THANK YOU for making this! After buying this printer I've been frustrated trying to figure out how to get my prints to properly adhere to the belt. So many content creators just talk about how cool this printer is and don't mention all the work you need to do to get it to print properly

[@Level_Up_Nation]

A feeler gauge works well as well.

Great and helpful video. This machine cost a lot of money so not having it work out of the box was very frustrating. I own about seven printers for my small business and I thought this could be the next thing to elevate it. But having non stop quality issues was driving me insane. My nozzle was too close to the bed so it was exploding filament everytime it moved up. So following your guide instead of crealitys documentation saved me. Thank you

[@dannydodgelive]

That's great to hear!

[@ericchamberlain9542]

Thanks man i really appreciated the info, i spent an entire day trying to get it level worked the first time following you!

[@dannydodgelive]

That's awesome!

[@tylertasker9524]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a visual learner and this was fantastic.

[@RevJimmy69]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@4080139]

Thanks for the video! I just ordered one for Christmas, this video will help me a lot setting the printer up!

[@EarlWatkinsII]

Thank you for the content. I am glad I found this before embarking on Honeycomb Storage Wall builds. The 2.5 day per 210mm swath is rough but will be better with a bed that doesn't destroy the print. Hang in there! (get it, cuz they can hang on the wall)

[@madsstensrud946]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@hayabusaghost]

Very very good explanation.....thankx and greetings from Germany!

[@frilockthewarlock]

Thanks for the video, helped me to finally get my CR30 printing perfectly. I'll say that earned you a subscribe!

[@dannydodgelive]

I'm really glad it helped!

[@shtdfckup2550]

You make me want to get one of my own even though i have one in my workplace.

[@mcleesattic]

Fantastic video!! The step by step is perfect. I am teaching my 5th graders how to 3d print. And soon, how to 3d design! I have an Anet A8, AncherMake, FlashForge Inventor, and arriving today... Creality CR-30.

[@dannydodgelive]

That's really cool!

[@timkuenen8533]

[@chrisnewman658]

Wow. 10k views. Way to go Danny! Very informative video!

[@dannydodgelive]

Thanks Chris. People need help when the manufacturer doesn't provide it.

[@wytcorp]

Thank you so much

... thanks! just subscribed.😉

[@thomasgebert6119]

Holy crap, after hours and hours and hours of screaming at this thing, your guide fixed my issues. Not only will I subscribe, if you're ever in the NYC area I'll buy you a drink! Question! What slicer do you typically use with this thing?

[@dannydodgelive]

Sorry I'm just now seeing your comment. That's awesome to hear it helped! Thanks for letting me know.

[@jeffreyhiggason4004]

Love your videos- sad that you have so few subscribers!

[@dannydodgelive]

Thanks Jeff, I just wish I had more time to make these videos.

[@Makhrozan_Hunter_Detexpert]

Nice

[@TheShadeSki]

using light was a smart idea

[@coolcat312]

Thanks for this. I've been having so much trouble with my CR-30 that I don't really use it at all. I'll try this and see if I can finally get it running well.

[@drdomestos]

How did you get on? Interested in getting one of these too.

[@duffyknight2005]

So I started out using this video and really helped. I had several prints go really wel. Than changed filaments and few more good prints. Then just stopped printing well, it’s like it doesn’t have the same flow right on one side of the bed like I do the other and nothing adheres to the bed anymore

[@dannydodgelive]

I guess I haven’t had enough experience on mine to say that I know what your problem is. Wish I could help though.

[@uwukushikimiowo1981]

Cheers man this was ultra helpful had some serious issues and confusion when setting it up initially my only question is wether or not you move that one the two screws that alows it to move freely back up?

[@dannydodgelive]

I'm sorry, which screws are you referring to?

[@stuartlark6441]

Do you use any type of adhesive on the belt, if so which? and do you apply it to the entire belt before the print starts or just to the area that the print needs? Love this video, glad I came across it as I'd given up on my cr30 because it just had no consistency, so it's just sat gathering dust for the last 6 months but I really want to make it work because it offers possibilities that other printers don't.

[@dannydodgelive]

I don’t, but I know others who have used stuff. I just wish I knew what it was.

[@FuzzyOne37]

Hi Danny. Informative video. How long have you had your CR-30? How many do you have? How reliable has it been. Looking to add it my small print farm. Have you had any issues with prints NOT sticking to the belt after having/using it for some time? Thank you for you time.

[@dannydodgelive]

Sadly, I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I just need to get the right printing jpbs for it. So I don't feel like I have enough time on it to answer that quesiton.

[@mattz6113]

many thanks , witch slicer do you use ?

[@dannydodgelive]

It's the creality slicer that came with it.

[@lougarcia1485]

thanks a million best friend!!

[@tgfgggggggggggggg]

Thank you so much for this video. Do you have a profile to share? I have a lot of Ender s1 and I print with 3mm , but in this cr30 3mm stay too bad. I am from Brazil, sorry for the bad english.

[@dannydodgelive]

I just use the standard profile

[@idmimagineeringCOUK]

Thank you Danny 😊 How is the printer now, 7 months later…? I hope it’s consistent still? and you can get stock of belts for a good 10 years?…

[@dannydodgelive]

Sadly, I haven't had a lot of jobs to use on it. So I can't talk with experience on that.

[@falexyy]

what is the best software to use for the cr30?

[@dannydodgelive]

I'm not sure on that question.

[@joeking433]

Is Creality the only company making a belt printer?

[@dannydodgelive]

No, I know there are several others out there that do, but I really don’t know the names of them

[@efboiz5302]

I dont understand why your belt rollers are so high, on mine if i crank the bed all the way down there is still at least a half inch gap between my straight edge and the belt roller

[@danielayvar5075]

This is the same case with my CR-30. I'm assuming he may have a different iteration of it.

[@danielayvar5075]

@efboiz5302 turns out that the rollers were attached incorrectly on mine. Simply swapping the left and right attachments to the rollers at the end of the bed fixed this for me. Thats creality quality control for ya.

[@dannydodgelive]

I would guess that’s just an initial factory physician that they didn’t quite get right
