I haven't used my K1Max in 6 months as I've been so busy with other things. I see they're up to v5.1 now. I'm gonna watch all your new vids and dial in my printer again. Thanks Bill for your great work!
I start with my temperature tower, then flow rate. After that I'll go for retraction distance. Then I'll move onto pressure advance followed by Max Volumetric Flow. I hope this helps!
i have a question so in this video you update the settings after each print. i notice in your other video your printed pass 1 and 2 without entering the results until everything was done. i also notice creality print wiki also says the same thing so i am kinda of confused which way is the right way.
Good morning, your videos are the best, thanks to you I am learning how to use this software, since I have ordered a Creality Ender 3 V3 Plus and while it arrives I want to train myself, thank you very much for teaching us that knowledge. I want to ask you a question: How can I configure the Filament Cost, since I have not found how to do it. Greetings from Medellín, Colombia.
If you open up a filament, for example, Generic PLA, turn on the Advanced Setting, like the way I updated the Flow Ratio in this video, you'll find a setting for Price. It's 4 boxes below the flow ration. Enter the amount you pay for filament. For Generic PLA, it's preset to 20, put the dollar amount that paid per spool and you'll be set. Going into business?
could you please do a video on the k1max and 45degree infill patterns? I have noticed that my machine doesnt do infill cleanly and was hoping for some advice on how to tune this feature. many thanks
I do, almost always. It's an insurance policy to avoid a failed print in my opinion. It's a tool that I choose to use. Some people like to brag about not using it, but there is no prize for a failed print.
@@GamingPanda5748 I should've mentioned that I use that for PLA, TPU and PETG. In the more exotic filaments like ASA, I use a brand called Magigoo. They have different blends for different materials.
For some reason when I print out the first nine flow rate plates, I am getting blobs and strings on some. Did the temperature tower, without issue but something is amiss. Are you able to advise?
So I did everything how you said in the video but for some reason I’m seeing way more pillowing than I was seeing before I did the calibrations. Do you know why that could happen?
I was surprised to see this but not completely shocked if that makes sense. The initial release of Creality Print 5 did not include the V3 Se. A few updates later and there it was! I'm running version V5.0.3.8736. If you open the slicer, click on the Creality Logo in the upper left hand corner of the screen, click Help and then click "About" you can find out what version you are running. If you aren't running the latest, then click on "Update" From the help menu. If clicking update says you have the latest version, don't let that stop you! Go to Creality Cloud and download the latest version from there. Another tip, in my video where you see me switch from the K1 Max to the V3 Se, click on that, at the bottom of the list there is an option to "Add" a printer. Click that and see if it is already appearing in the Ender Series list of printers. Keep me posted and we'll see if we can get the Ender 3 V2 Se to show up!
@@pushingplastic7445 Thanks for the reply. I'm running the same version number you are. I've tried various build numbers and that printer is not in the list in any of them. The Ender series list only has v3 KE and V3, nothing else

I'm going to have to look into this. I don't think it is there, I haven't seen it. But honestly, I wasn't looking for it either. I can see where that would come in handy!
I’m using Creality hyper pla on my K1C for my test and I got 0.998 for my first run. Just wanted to know if that sounds okay. edit: my starting flow was 0.95 cause that’s what the program set the original to
After upgrading firmware, i have been having trouble calibrating flow rate. Are these formulas the same for k1 max? I followed the creality tutorial and they are different...
@@pushingplastic7445 Thanks for pointing that out. I just performed this using the formula in the video (excel spreadsheet). For me, my 1st flow rate was 0.95. Then the best of the pass 1 print was 5. So my new flow rate, was 0.9975. Then the 2nd pass, best was -6, leaving new new flow rate as 0.93765. However, if I use what I'm seeing on their tutorial, it seems rather different, depending on if 0.93765 is a percentage or not. Using what appears to be their new formula, it appears that 5%+(-6%)+100% = 99.00%. LOL I really don't like when changes are made and one can't be sure which is better. For the moment, YOUR formula seems to work well. The tiles do follow and show which is better.
Thanks for sharing this, but when I try this in 5.1 it's slightly different, and the instructions they link to is different in how to calibrate the result. I get a different result using your method, than using the method described in the instruction. Have you tried it in 5.1..?
Im doing this right now, and it asked me to select the calibration that was best in part 1 of the calibration. I think it is removing the need for us to do the math
@@ja-no6fx also the layout is different in the software and also is different instructions on the website. So do you use the number or the position of the best print. Come on creality sort your self kid lol
The creality instructions seem to be an updated copy of the orca instructions. I think your supposed to select the one that looked best in the first pass without changing anything and then change stuff after the second pass
Another great video. One question.....instead of all that math, wouldn't be easier to go "Ok, at .98 and I thought -5 was the best so 98 minus 5 is 93. Then -1 was the best so 93 minus 1 is 92"?
hi bill having bit trouble with the maths my flow is 100 and my best square was -5 which is working out 9,995 is that correct thanks im not thick but not getting it lol
I'm not sure how you had 100 for your flow. That is way to high in Creality Print 5. It would make more sense to me if your original flow ratio was 1.00 (not 100). Your new flow ratio would work out to 0.95 in Creality Print 5. Now in Cura, the flow rate is a percentage, so your numbers would make sense there, but not in Creality Print 5.0. Are you starting with one of the built in profiles from Creality Print? Keep me posted and we'll do what we can to work through this! Good luck!
@pushingplastic7445 Bill, you replied in a comment that you are using V5.0.3.8736 the latest version I can find is V5.0.0.8636 as of 05-07-24, also, why use Creality Print ? Is it not just a fork of Orca ?
Go to Creality's Github link github.com/CrealityOfficial/CrealityPrint/releases/tag/v5.0.3 scroll to the bottom and download v5.0.3.8736 released two weeks ago. I don't know why they have the older version still on Creality Cloud. While it is a fork of Orca the algorithm has been re-written to be more specific to Creality Printers. Same reason the firmware has been updated for some of the Creality Printers. The same question could be asked as to why use Orca, it's a fork of SuperSlicer which is also a fork.
@@pushingplastic7445 , Thanks for the information, although I did know that Orca was a fork (of a fork...), I was just asking to be clear, and also just realized I had already downloaded that version, just have not unpacked it yet. Keep that plastic pushing !
@@madmaxh3 The nice part of all of these slicers becoming forks is a common language between slicers! Let me know what you think of the latest version!!!
I tried to download and run 5, 3 times. Installed, uninstalled, and every time I open it, my cursor is off from the icons I want to click on. Like over 1/4" off. Only program i have the issue with. So uninstalled it again and gave up.
Not sure if this will help but I had such an issue once with some program, I don't remember which. I was running my screen scaleing at 125% (right-click on desktop and scroll down to Scale in Scale & Layout) Setting it back to 100% solved it for me (and a new pair of glasses 🙂
Fun fact! Don't buy crappy PETG, especially "Neat" Gun Grey. OMG! So I have several PETG filaments that print nicely. But the one above, not so much. Even ever hours in the dryer. Just bad! So, I thought that I'd follow this vid to create its own profile, hoping that this would "cure" the not-so-good results. I set up for the first pass (called Course with CP 5.1.4) and wend down for lunch, all the time monitoring the video, from its cam and an HD cam I have mounted above the printer. I'm watching this horrible 1st layer... I'm talking missing places, blobs, just bad. So I go up to find that the extruder is making a "thud" kind of sound. It turns out, that this horrible filament not only clogged the nozzle, but the entire nozzle, up past the heat break and about 1/2 up the titanium piece!!! So I took apart the extruder and cleaned out the gears... there was only a little bit of stuff in there and removed the nozzle. I took the nozzle to the work bench and tried to use my SMD hot air gun to heat up the entire thing. I tried pushing the stuff out with the wire thingy... some came out, but it felt like the walls of the inside of the entire nozzle had a thin coat of that PETG on it. Impossible to get it all off. So I put it back into the printer and thought I'd try with a 300C setting and using the metal pin thing, I removed what I could, then used some good PLA.... this got more pushed out, and it appeared to flow better. But nope! When I tried to extrude, it did flow, but clearly obstructed. So I tried a retract and THUD THUD THUD again. LOL Fortunately, I had the presence of mind when I bought these V3 Plus printers to get a spare nozzle. I put the new nozzle in and now all working well. I'm running the flow thing but using this good PLA instead of the PETG!. I will not be using that PETG every. Funny thing is, I also have some nice Cherry Red PETG, same brand and it just works nicely! sigghhh.... the wonders of 3D printing.
@DigitalInventor did a review of Creality Print 5 11 days ago (ruclips.net/video/wDm9vqLe52c/видео.html) and he deemed it unfit for use by end users. I tend to agree with him.
Sorry, I looked at that video and haven't seen anything about dialing in the flow rate. But I did see somebody voice their opinion for nearly 28 minutes about a slicer he doesn't like. I don't believe in bashing other content creators and I'm not going to give a review of his video. If you don't like the slicer, simply don't use it. There are plenty of other slicers out there to choose from. But the majority of the people viewing this video are doing so because they want to learn more about it. Thanks for the comment.
I haven't used my K1Max in 6 months as I've been so busy with other things. I see they're up to v5.1 now. I'm gonna watch all your new vids and dial in my printer again. Thanks Bill for your great work!

Thanks you! More videos with Creality Print are in the works!!! Thanks for watching!
is there a specific order to tune a printer like pressure advance, retraction, etc?

Thank you for the video. I didn't know where the calibration menu was in Creality Print 5.
No problem! Glad it helped!
Bill, @pushingplastic is it worth printing a speed tower, and have you made a video on how to use it on Creality 5 please?
Have you ever had an issue where you set your temperature for the pla profile and the target nozzle temperature stays at a higher temperature?
I am new. I needed this video so much. Thank you. 👍
Great video, I am between buying a ender3 V3 se or a KE,

@DigitalInventor did a review of Creality Print 5 11 days ago (ruclips.net/video/wDm9vqLe52c/видео.html) and he deemed it unfit for use by end users. I tend to agree with him.
Sorry, I looked at that video and haven't seen anything about dialing in the flow rate. But I did see somebody voice their opinion for nearly 28 minutes about a slicer he doesn't like. I don't believe in bashing other content creators and I'm not going to give a review of his video. If you don't like the slicer, simply don't use it. There are plenty of other slicers out there to choose from. But the majority of the people viewing this video are doing so because they want to learn more about it. Thanks for the comment.
@@pushingplastic7445 I appreciate the level of detail you have gone to in creating your very informative videos. Thanks.
