Why does Prusaslicer set the final temperature in two steps?

Since the bed usually takes longer to heat than the nozzle, the nozzle is in a pre-warmup stage so that it doesn't ooze filament waiting for the bed while homing and/or finding the Z limit. Once the ...

CR-6 SE rebooting at fixed moments in print

Turns out this is the behaviour of files that get corrupted. This has very little to do with the slicer and everything with how some SD cards are just intent on getting themselves a bad name. In this ...

Shocks and enclosures

First, let's get your physics straight: To make it moderately shock-resistant it's placed on a 50x50 cm concrete tile which is placed on 3 mm of foam. The foam reduces vibrations being redirected to ...

Installing Creality CR6 SE Community firmware

If you can reformat a (micro)-SD-card on a Windows PC (there are built-in system tools) and copy files to it, then you have enough skills. Going back to the stock firmware is as easy as copying the ...

CR-6 SE glass build plate - no lifting possible

I have had similar issues, and I have learned three tricks: Some slicers (i.e. Cura) let you specify the height of your first layer, and I have found that slowly incrementing up from 0.16 mm by 0.2 ...

Experiencing Under-Extrusion and Print Instability on CReality CR6 SE with Various PLA Filaments

Try following a guide on debugging under-extrusion all the way through. The most obvious point you did not list in your question are: checking the mechanics of the extruder and cleaning the nozzle: ...

CR-6 SE glass build plate - no lifting possible

Am I doing something wrong? Did I destroy the "Carborundum" coating (silicon carbide) of the glass plate? I doubt it. Silicon carbide is tough stuff: it's a 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, ...

CR-6 SE glass build plate - no lifting possible

It is likely the surface was damaged by the chemical cleaning, based on your description and octopus8's comment. If you are unable to mechanically release the print, there is a chemical method that ...

Prints not sticking to bed or just not extruding?

The CR-6 SE uses strain gauge based sensing for the auto leveling. This implies that the nozzle itself is the probe for the leveling procedure. It is important that there is no filament left on the ...

Raising E-steps on my CR-6 SE makes the extruder choppy

You cannot change the Vref of a UART operated stepper driver, setting the current directly is the way to go on UART operated stepper drivers; in fact that is actually what you are doing on non-UART ...

Weird pattern on vertical surfaces on all prints

Seeing the infill from the outside is usually caused by having a thin wall or an incorrect wall thickness compared to your nozzle. Wall thickness should be a multiple of your nozzle diameter; so a .4 ...

What kind of thermal paste do I need for a heatbed thermistor?

If you need it to hold the thermistor in place, there are thermally conductive electrically insulating potting compounds, such as Appli-Thane® 7300 Urethane that have a temperature range of -100 to ...
