Awesome! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I appreciate hearing those words! And thanks for watching!!!

I have to admit, so did I. It was the reason I did this video first! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Thanks for watching!

@@pushingplastic7445 Creality Print 5 does not allow you to select the best tag from Pass 1, like it does in Creality Print 4. So I would say it is a bug.

@@howardbealeau It's not a bug, it's an updated method. Now it's more in line with how Orca, Prusa and Bambu Studio do it. Did you watch the video to see how it's done?

@@pushingplastic7445 When you got to the point of doing Pass 2 of the flow rate calibration test (beginning at 7:05) you paused (at 7:46) and seemed to be surprised that the ten blocks produced were "...incrementing by negative one", i.e. the flow rate was being decremented by one. So ten blocks (or tags) were produced with relative flow rates of 0, -1, -2, -3, -4 , -5 ,-6, -7, -8, and -9, with respect to the flow rate that was set in the profile after Pass 1. That was surprising to me as well, because now we don't get an opportunity to judge the print quality when flow rates are incremented by one w.r.t. the flow rate that was set in the profile after Pass 1.

@@howardbealeau There was no surprise, I knew exactly what to expect. I've done this quite a few times while dialing in other brands of PLA, PETG and some ASA. In addition I participated on the Beta test team. I'm not sure what your end game is, my guess is to drive viewers to another video? Either way, like I said previously, if you don't like the slicer, don't use it. There are plenty of other choices.

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?

You got it! Thanks for watching!

@@pushingplastic7445 love your work, thanks!

If you're seeing pillowing, then you aren't using enough top layers. How many are you using?

@@pushingplastic7445 6 top and 6 bottom with a 3 line wall

@@pushingplastic7445 I’m also doing prints that have to be printed vertically so idk if that has something to do with it

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!

@@pushingplastic7445 Thanks for checking into if for me.. It should be there but Im not finding it.

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

And somehow, it's now in there when I checked again.... Weird...

Much better print quality with the new flow rate following your advice! Thank you :)

@@MrCharliethegorilla Awesome!

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.

@@pushingplastic7445 okay thank you for responding. In that case what brand do you use? I’ve been looking for a good glue brand to use for my prints

@@GamingPanda5748 Elmers Purple Lgue Stick. It works great and washes off of the build plate with warm water and dish soap.

@@pushingplastic7445 thank you!

@@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.

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!

yeah it was 1 bill sorted now thanks

@@paulmurtha766 Good to hear! Is everything printing good now?

very good bill

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 !

@@maxharnisch314 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!!!

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 🙂

@@Ozzy-K Everything else works fine.

If you still have it loaded, try running it in Administrator mode and see if that helps.

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.
