Recently got the K1C and I've been using the latest version of the 5.0 with it.Have only been using standard PLA so far but the performance and prints have been great. I'm coming from a Flashforge Adventurer 3 so this is a nice step up. I have no experience with the previous Creality slicer so I can't comment on that.
Good info. Didn’t know they had a new version, will give it a try. Hope you can keep the old and this version so you can go back if you run into a problem. I’m a nubee at this so will watch your channel for updated info. Dc
Great review. Ive Been using it for the last week, i was going to switch to orca but since trying out 5.0 ive been very impressed so far with my k1 The only problem with it so far is im still getting the crash occasionally when using it I like how the infill overlap is now set to 15% as standard. It was at 0% default in the previous creality print
Nice video. With the calibration in v 5.0 pass 1 prints then load up pass 2, you can’t pick the best print on Pass 1 . This v5.0 needs much more work on it to fix the bugs. Also Creality, don’t have a user manual for v5.0 that I can find yet.
Good call! I noticed that as well and had a note to mention that in the video and I dropped the ball. I put in a message with the Creality developers on that one. For now I did the "old way" of dialing in Flow where you print the hollow cube, 2 walls, no top, do some measuring, a little calculating....ect. I have an older video on my channel using that method if it helps. Thanks for watching!
With CR5 PRO-H I have tried Creality Print two years ago however I could not find any advantage with Creality slicer by then I saw Creality Print had less options. Maybe I am not smart enough to do it by myself. Even so Creality Slicer has less options than Cura. What are the differences between them? Thanks for sharing it
Cura is a good slicer. I was using it all of the time and started using Creality Print when the K1 Max was released. Creality Print handles that printer better than Cura did. But the one thing I would like to see in Creality Print that Cura has is the Per Model Settings, or modifiers as they're known in Orca. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
Orca slicer is a fork of Prusa slicer as is Bambu Studio and Super Slicer. Prusa Slicer is based on Slic3r, that's how this works. Each developer put's their own twist on their version of the slicer as they develop it.
Thanks! I was raised in an area here in the states where a lot of people migrated from Poland in the early 1900's. Lot's of love for the people of Poland! Thanks for watching!
Don’t know if have noticed it but when I installed 5.0 in my windows 10 laptop and open the slicer, sliced a normal cube, and no that the preview was showing it printing anticlockwise, so I printed the cube and yep the model was printing anticlockwise. So i uninstalled it, an reinstalled the one that came with my ender 3 v3 se and went back to clockwise printing.
Creality Print 5.0 has a revamped printing algorithm that reduces overall print speed and improves print quality. This could be why you are noticing a difference is print direction. Thanks for watching.
Very good videos you have, one question for you.. can you use variable layer height (you got me hooked on this feature in other great video of yours) in this version? Thank you very much..
Yes you can, it's a little different but same concept. It's the icon on the top of the screen that looks like a bunch of horizontal lines on top of each other. They call it adaptive layers in this version.
@@AntonioLima9000 I have, not in Creality Print but I've done it before. The supports and adaptive layers both functioned as they should have. I would expect the same in Creality Print.
@@pushingplastic7445 I've tried, unsuccessfully. Seems to me that at the moment you activate the support option the variable layer becomes disabled. But thanks a lot for your exchange with me.
I set the chamber temperature for ABS to 45. I wrote 1 below to activate it. The exhaust fan does not activate even at 50 degrees. I set the exhaust fan to operate at 25% during printing. Exhaust fan does not run at all. Could you help?
hello. i want to print the first quarter of the print with 25% fill rate and the rest of the print with 15% fill rate. how can i do it? my machine is k1 max. does this program have that feature?
In Creality Print 5, it is in the "Other" category. Turn on Advanced Options and you'll find the settings there. However I'm not sure that they added the density yet and it may appear in the next update.
In the top toolbar, Adaptive Layers is the icon all of the way to the right, it looks like a bunch or lines. Select your model, click that button. When the dialog box pops up slide the top slider towards Quality, .25 should be good. The further you move it towards quality the better it will look but the longer the print time will be. I hope this helps!!! Thanks for watching!
multicolour printing is coming for the k1/k1/k1max/v3/ke soon it going to be a upgrade those printers listing now are going to be multicolour printing also i have seen that my k1 and max is alot faster at printing also there was a new firmware for both printers alot fast than my bambu lab
My question is will the parts required to upgrade those machines to color be cost effective and will the process be easy enough for "most" users to do it themselves vs buying a new printer that comes from the factory ready to print color.
@@pushingplastic7445 what creailty told me that the upgrade will include all the parts required including the CMS i am waiting on the K2 and K2 plus coming out i alway wait and see how it doe's never rush into stuff it will bit you in the ass. here in the UK there a delay in getting printer by 3 months behind you guys in the USA.
The second icon from the right in the tool bar is for Paint On seams. If you turn on Advance settings on the Quality tab you'll find the seam settings. Thanks for watching!
Just loaded it onto my win11 machine. Sliced a model i had in cura. Sliced to same settings and the file size is s about 30 percent larger. Any thoughts?

i hate this update, i was using the previous version before then it stopped working so i had to update it, trying to change the infill % is basically impossible, not matter what i change it pops up with an error and i have to reset it, i was enjoying 3d printing until this stupid update

@@Elimn8r64 The method you described is to update Creality Print. I'm not sure what printer you are using, but you want to check to see if there is an updated version of firmware for the printer itself.
Creality Print 5.0 is horrible so far. Since installing it, I have not been able to print a single thing successfully. I was printing fine on the older version. My prints fail due to layer shifting. This was not a problem before. I can not change the flow rate for my material either. So, this causes the hotend to extrude too much which causes it to get hung up and the layer messes up. I have the ender 3 v3 ke.
I understand your frustration. I have a video being released in a few hours on how to dial in the flow rate in Creality Print 5. Does your Ender 3 V3 Ke have the latest firmware? That might be the issue with the layer shifting. Keep me posted and good luck!
@@pushingplastic7445 Yes, I updated it when I went to Creality Print 5.0. I did mess up on my post though. I did have some layer shifting before but nothing like with the 5.0 update. The ke is my first foray into 3d printing and I've been doing it a few months. I know you have to get it dialed in but I was on the verge of getting it good to go before the update.
@@danielhulan3058 Understood! Sometimes an update can seem like a step backwards. When I see and update come out I do my best to make sure my firmware is up to date and run the calibrations before doing anything else. Then I'll start dialing in my profiles.

@@pushingplastic7445 more print profiles would be nice! The V3 KE has one profile and it is 0.2mm layer height I wonder if they plan on doing 0.1/0.3/0.38
