How to use the Creality Box 2.0 | Print Easy, From Anywhere

[@Koolkole27]

Can I control it with the cura monitor feature using it?

[@Josiahs3dPrinting]

Do you know if this works with the ender 3 v3 SE

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

It works with all Creality printers yes, if you are worried about the USB connection port, the box comes with a converter to USB-C

[@dragonphoenix1035]

Does this work with all motherboards, I have the original 1.14 on my Ender 3 Pro?\

[@blue_skies_music]

Pro tip the Wyze v2 cam with webcam firmware works with this box

[@antonnissen4052]

Did the webcam come with the box or did you have to buy that for it self?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

The Webcam is sold separately yes, but Creality also has a "Smart kit 2.0", which has the box 2.0 and the webcam together.

⁠@@3DPrintingStorecozaI know i’m really late but where can I buy the camera by itself. I bought the nebula camera and found out the hard way that it doesn’t connect😢. so if you could find and/or link the url that would be much appreciated. thank you!

[@GeoSmithSr8]

Hi, so do you need to plug in the rather net cable for it to work

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Hi there, yes, you need to plug in an ethernet cable into the Box 2.0 for it to connect to the internet, it then sends out a wireless connection which you can connect to with your phone or other device to connect to the Box 2.0 in the Creality app.

[@nationwideric9019]

Will this work with the standard Ender 3?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Yes, it works with nearly every Creality 3D printer

[@ConnorN97]

So from my understanding, I can use the ethernet cable to set it up and then remove it and use it wirelessly?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Unfortunately no, The ethernet cable needs to be plugged in at all times, the Box 2.0 acts as a modem and sends out it's own hotspot, it won't work unless the ethernet cable is plugged in

[@MarcosRuiz1979]

@@3DPrintingStorecoza Mine doesn't connect. I connected the ethernet cable, the box connects to the creality app and I can open the camera and see feed. But I cannot connect to my printer. I have a CR 10 pro. I understand it doesn't have a wifi internally so I assumed I could connect it with a cable. My printer only has a USB and a ethernet sockets. The box has only USB sockets. I connected a USB from the box to the printer and nothing happened. I think the box is trash and a waste of money.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

@@MarcosRuiz1979 I'm sorry to hear that you have been having issues, I have heard that others have had issues with the original setup and connection.

[@blairstanfield231]

@@3DPrintingStorecozaThe ethernet cable is connected to the box 2.0 and your wifi router?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

@@blairstanfield231 That is correct yes

[@ninjatwin2283]

Will this work with the ender 6?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Yes it should, this Box 2.0 is advertised to work with nearly any creality printer, and some printers running certain open source firmwares.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Wait so i still need to put the file on the memory card manually? I can't send the file by wifi? Also, i have to plug in an ethernet cable for it to work? It doesnt connect to my home network via wifi?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

You can send it through the Creality Cloud to the Box as well, I just did this for convenience. And yes, you have to plug in an ethernet cable to it first, it then acts somewhat as a modem which sends out a wireless signal for you to connect to for setting everything up. After that you can connect to it through any network from anywhere.

[@MarcosRuiz1979]

​@@3DPrintingStorecozaThe box is not compatible with 5ghz wifi. You will need the ethernet cable. Right?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

That is correct yes

[@chrythemaster88]

I don't understand: for the First installation i must use the Lan cable. When i have done, i can use WiFi?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

@@chrythemaster88 Unfortunately no, the LAN cable must always be plugged in to the Box 2.0, the box itself sends out a wireless signal which you use for setup, you then disconnect from the box's network after you have been able to set it up on the app, after which you can connect to any network you want, go into the app and connect to your printer from anywhere. The LAN cable must always be plugged into the box for it to work

[@yasir_amin]

Awesome mate. Thanks

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I'm glad that you found the video helpful!

[@samhart-ty5ug]

Hey guys, I cannot get the camera image to come up with the smart kit. It just gives the grey screen with a spinning circle. Any advice?

[@ssouthur]

I had the same - turned out it didn't like my Unifi Wifi. It worked with my Starlink Wifi - but I had to use Ethernet to be able to use Creality Print on my PC (Starlink is different subnet to Unifi - PC is on Unifi subnet).

[@HowHigh_Juana]

Mine is not recording video. Is that cause I'm printing from the sd card in my printer instead of the creality box?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

It might be yes, but it could also be because the timelapse recording isn't enabled in the app, there is a setting that you need to turn on for the box to record Timelapse's which is off by default

[@84_Most_Wanted]

Kann ich es mit meinen. WLAN verbi den und von ausserhalb steuern?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Sobald es angeschlossen und eingerichtet ist, können Sie von überall aus eine Verbindung zur Creality Box 2.0 herstellen. Sie müssen nicht mit demselben WLAN verbunden sein, um es zu verwenden. (sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I don't speak German so I had to use Google translate) Basically, you can connect from anywhere using the App once you have set up everything, you do not need to be connected to the same network/wifi

[@84_Most_Wanted]

KZbin has a transmare button 😅 thx that helps me a Lot. The software is no problem if i have marlin?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Not a problem at all. It should be fine as Creality states that it works with other open source firmwares as well

[@84_Most_Wanted]

@@3DPrintingStorecoza thank you :)

[@loeschc49707]

Does this work with any brand 3D printer?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

They claim that this would work on any non-Creality printer which is running open source firmware, I don't know if it must be a specific open source firmware or any. I would need to do some further testing on non-Creality printers to see what that means exactly.

[@themaniac5864]

@@3DPrintingStorecoza Did you ended up doing the research?

[@ivanbystrik]

I don't understand why the device needs a wired connection to Ethernet since it has a wifi-module.

[@mixpix]

Thankfully it does, because wired actually works.

[@richardmiller3781]

Makes no sense if you can’t send files wirelessly. If you still have to copy your print file to the SD card and then insert it into the adapter you might as well just plug the SD card directly into the printer. The only thing that is wireless is the ability to watch your printer from your cell phone. For that buy a cheap usb camera and point it at the printer.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Since the recording of this video, Creality Print came out in which you can slice your print and upload it to your Creality Cloud. So you no longer have to slice it and manually upload it to the SD card and insert it into the Box 2.0, which is a huge improvement.

[@NinjaForHire]

use creality print on your pc, you can send straight to the printer then by un ticking the exact printer box and selecting your, then tick send file after selecting LAN/WAN from the slicer screen. the files will also be backed up onto the micro sd thats in the creality box

[@lmrpcrepairltd3465]

I can’t get mine to work with an S1 plus! It’s USB C

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

There should be a little USB-C converter in the box with the Box 2.0

[@boomerwantsanap]

Imagine putting helpful instructions online so I can print via WIFI!!! Not Bluetooth. And from my computer. So many tools on youtube now.

[@NinjaForHire]

your full of ST. The box 2.0 suppose to be able to use a variety of webcam types this isnt helpful at all you are using a Creality camera, mind you I have one coming in the mail anyway because i ended up getting a steal of a purchase this the creality camera is no special cam at all its a basic plug and play USB cam. This needs to be shown how its dont on other branded cameras. You also leave you network connections out of the picture, they should be explained, for example does camera require a hard line not wifi? please make some note corrections or something to update this bland everyone has common sense how to plug things in video.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

The Creality Box 2.0 does indeed work with different types of USB cameras yes, I apologise if I didn't answer all of your questions in this video.

[@NinjaForHire]

Im soorry bro Im not atacking you but more like aiming at creality for making products that do not work together but a random 1080 camera will work with something like the 2.0 Box makes no sense to me. They even pretty much advertise their products to work together when the truth is that one thing will not work unless its paired with another specific thing even if the functionality is and parts are identical to one another. Look at all the different versions of Box they have.@@3DPrintingStorecoza
