I’m getting both belt tension error and filament sensor detecting filament in the extruder. I opened the print head and there is nothing in the extruder. I swapped out nozzles to make sure, and same error. I was able to run the belt tension calibration in the fluidd dashboard and on the old firmware it runs perfectly. On the new firmware the left side errors. I downloaded the previous firmware version to confirm. Something is not right and I don’t think it’s the printer. It still prints perfectly.

Thanks 3Drundown! Very well broken down. I am awaiting my K2 arrival from CA and its on a FedX truck somewhere! I will be updating to Creality Print 6 right away!
It's great to see how Creality is approaching this new era of 3D printers. I also appreciate your down-to-earth input, which is helping me with a purchase decision.
They have come a LOOOOOONG way, the past 2 years. Especially in the Firmware and Software dept. Used to have to run random Ender 3 firmware made by strangers. Those days are dead. I appreciate you too. 🔥🔥
Let me ask you something. Since the Firmware update my K2 Plus is doing a bed level every single time I start a print now, even with the box checked off not to do it. Is there something wrong with my install or is this the new thing going forward?
@@3DRundown Yes I am, tried in both 5.1 and 6.0 and it’s always doing a bed level before printing. Even old prints started directly from the printer do a bed level before printing. Probably going to go back to previous firmware.
After the update and before you calibrate(self check), do a complete power cycle. This should eliminate any belt tensioner errors during calibration. Moving forward, I plan on doing this for all firmware updates.
@3DRundown no direct correlation that I'm aware of. Seems a simple on/off does the trick in avoiding errors after updating. I've been seeing these errors pop up all day in posts and someone in one of those groups suggested a power cycle. It'd probably be best to make it a practice after firmware updates. Just saw another post where someone's build plate and hot bed were badly gouged. He had the belt tensioner error after calibration...
I still wish that you could either add a camera to the Fluidd interface or (my preference) add a Mainsail interface with the ability to add the camera. I just like working with Mainsail better. YMMV
Just in general, with any Creality printer's firmware updates.... if the new firmware messes things up, is there a way to go back to a previously working version?
My brand new K2 plus failed immediately after this update. The strain gauge failed. Tests passed before this update. As soon as it completed, the test failed. Have not even been able to print anything yet.
CA2719 error after firmware update and calibration run. Belt tension timeout error. HELP QR Code doesn't go anywhere. Printer printed fine before update and printed a single small test print after with no issues. Off to research I go.
Flashforge had an issue with their firmware update. After updating the touchscreen stopped working and the printer would randomly shut off during prints.
@@3DRundown Left over strings on my prints and a dribble out of the nozzle at the end. To me this indicates insufficient retraction. Creality Print 6 reset all the profiles but Creality 5.1 is still around so I need to do some comparisons and calibrations.
@@3DRundown Comparing filament settings side by the side for Hyper PLA shows they are exactly the same. If anything the new profile seems to be a little slower, but it does have a new setting related to retraction over infill. I'll play around some more. For the most part the strings are something I can just wipe off although I did have one small printed item get dislodged from the plate and it looks like it was the string that pulled it.
Just upgraded mine and now I have a CA2720 error message - "Abnormal belt tensioning module, right belt tensioning module calibration value abnormal, please recalibrate the module". I've run the calibration twice, same message. There's no CA2720 error codes on the Creality Wiki. There is a CA2710 code which I guess is applicable? Going to print something and see if I run into any issues. If I do, I guess I'll contact support. No issues prior to running the update. Ugh!!!
Thanks for sharing. Curious how widespread this is. Perhaps there will be a small patch, or official response. Sounds like some kind of config conflict with the new tensioning method.
I have the left tensioning module code ca2721, I took the back off and it's not moving so I'm hoping it's a code fault and not a mechanical failure this early on
@@horzel26According to the Wiki, it says to check if the XY belt active tension module is disconnected or if the screws are loose or damaged. Were either of these issues present for you or did you follow the "K2 Plus Belt Auto Tension Module Calibration Process" referenced in the Wiki to resolve the issue?
one certain thing is that creality has a garbage sensor for detecting faults like stringing, clogged nozzles etc but it will stop when there is nothing wrong with the hotend and tell you there is a problem. lol
The update screwed up the calibration sequence, as it first heats up the print bed to its final temperature, then waits for it to cooldown, which takes forever with ABS. This is REALLY annoying!
I've got it installed. This darn BELT situation, has delayed my Intro to CP6 Video. However, I was also suffering from crashing, while using the hole tool. With this new version, that crashing is GONE. The delay, looks like a blessing in disguise.
@3DRundown I would send a file through creality cloud after the update and the printer would begin its preliminary processes before starting a print . The printhead would then center itself above the hot plate and sit there with the temps ramped up and nothing happens. Had to roll back the firmware and reinstall the new firmware several times to get it to start working again normally.
Peeps have the 7, running on Sonic Pad, but, sounds like work. I would consider moving on from the E7. The K1's are sooooo good, and the V3's are great too. Thins have moved on, allot... For ender 7, google this: "sonic pad ender 7" Then, look for REDDIT results, and read up on those threads.
@@3DRundown on the old software my print lies neatly flat on the plate Z 0 and with the new software it is automatically higher and cannot be adjusted. this changes the layers, just look, I believe this is automatically set to 1 or higher
SO: Are the errors false, or...... is the Firmware, detecting belt tension issues, that previously went undetected?

Gregg - I was waiting for your video before I made any updates.
Thank you sir!
Very welcome friend. Catch you soon, for an intro to CP6.
@3DRundown I'll be in line for that video too!
Mine is arriving on Thursday!!
Yay!!
Epic
I can't wait to get mine!!
I've updated my K2 & had no problems
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good for you hope everything goes well! 🍀🙏🏻
As I dive into CP6, we'll see!!!

great upgrades. only problem is that the camera isn't showing anymore in the slicer :/
Have you moved to CP6 today?
I still wish that you could either add a camera to the Fluidd interface or (my preference) add a Mainsail interface with the ability to add the camera. I just like working with Mainsail better. YMMV
Was there an update for the k1 series as well? I just updated my max yesterday.
Yessir
Just in general, with any Creality printer's firmware updates.... if the new firmware messes things up, is there a way to go back to a previously working version?
Typically, but I've never tried it
@@3DRundown Can confirm you can download prior firmware, load the firmware on a usb and plug it in. Will ask to "ugprade", and will do so.
My brand new K2 plus failed immediately after this update. The strain gauge failed. Tests passed before this update. As soon as it completed, the test failed. Have not even been able to print anything yet.
Did you power cycle and run a full calibration?
CA2719 error after firmware update and calibration run. Belt tension timeout error. HELP QR Code doesn't go anywhere. Printer printed fine before update and printed a single small test print after with no issues. Off to research I go.
I'm sad to see a few reporting this. Support has been made aware.
Power Cycle the machine, then run Calibration.
Flashforge had an issue with their firmware update. After updating the touchscreen stopped working and the printer would randomly shut off during prints.
Got the new firmware, got the new slicer, and it seems to be not fully retracting. Time to recalibrate the filament!
Oh no.... Elaborate?

I can't remember the last time I had stringing. Maybe 2 years ago. That's user error. Same with Nozzle clogs
I agree

I have not heard this, but, that is certainly not correct. I'll test mine to see if it's doing that.
You are being featured in todays video.
Creality Print 6 seems to have been withdrawn.
Likely preparing for an update release
@@3DRundown Indeed a new release is available now. Release notes were the same as before though.
I've got it installed. This darn BELT situation, has delayed my Intro to CP6 Video. However, I was also suffering from crashing, while using the hole tool. With this new version, that crashing is GONE. The delay, looks like a blessing in disguise.
This update bricked my k2
Elaborate:
@3DRundown I would send a file through creality cloud after the update and the printer would begin its preliminary processes before starting a print . The printhead would then center itself above the hot plate and sit there with the temps ramped up and nothing happens. Had to roll back the firmware and reinstall the new firmware several times to get it to start working again normally.
What happend to creality 6.0 it's GONE!
Gone???
@@3DRundown yes it’s been taken down from their site.
It would help if they also update the ender 7 firmware its a great machine but they forget the people who have one.
I feel you. Creality was not good with firmware on the older Marlin machines. Always letting them fall behind. Consider a Sonic Pad.
@3DRundown yes i considerd it, but also no support for the 7 🤔
Peeps have the 7, running on Sonic Pad, but, sounds like work. I would consider moving on from the E7. The K1's are sooooo good, and the V3's are great too. Thins have moved on, allot...
For ender 7, google this: "sonic pad ender 7"
Then, look for REDDIT results, and read up on those threads.
New software have to much problems 😅
Nope. Just one minor issue to iron out.
Come again? Can you re-phrase that? Not sure I'm following. Also, make the move to CP6
@@3DRundown on the old software my print lies neatly flat on the plate Z 0 and with the new software it is automatically higher and cannot be adjusted. this changes the layers, just look, I believe this is automatically set to 1 or higher
