Using Cura Slicer with Creality Ender-3 V3 KE

Рет қаралды 31,452

Күн бұрын

In this video, I'll add the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE to Cura Slicer and use this Slicer to slice models that I can print on the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE.
This 3D Printer with Klipper usually comes with Creality Print to slice models that you can use for this printer, but I show you how you can use Cura Slicer for this printer as well. The method I show is making a basic Profile to get you going on your Creality Ender-3 V3 KE and Cura Slicer.

@Zachary3DPrints 4 ай бұрын

Hey Kevin, you have the KE? On the KE but also on the K1 the Klipper firmware is closed and you cannot change the nozzle diameter. In the Slicer, you don't have this option directly, but you can change it in the settings from your printer. you can find it in the tab Extrusion1 from the Printer settings

@3DJapan 5 ай бұрын

I generally like Creality Print the only down side is that I can't Pause At Height to swap filaments. I need that for HueForge prints.

@brokeneggz 4 ай бұрын

Something I just tried last night for this out of Creality Print was use the slicer to go through your layers and find which layer you want to change filament at and note down the number. Save your gcode directly to your PC and open that file in notepad and search for that, for example search LAYER:26. Directly under that line in notepad create a new line that just says PAUSE. Printer will then pause and wait for resume to be pressed when you reach that layer. Not a perfect solution I know but its a work around.

I thought Creality used Klipper bot the v3 ke? Heard it in a few reviews I watched before I got this printer

@Zachary3DPrints 5 ай бұрын

Yes, the Creality KE is based on Klipper, but Klipper isn't in the Gcode flavor. I did look for it when I did this video, but it wasn't there. If you check the Voron Designs in the ADD PRINTER, you'll see that the Voron 0(for example) is running Reprap Gcode Flavor instead of Marlin.

I used the same settings you provided with my KE, the prints came out perfect thanks a lot. But the speed is way lower than the first benchy I printed. which took only 16min with the benchy file that came with the printer. with your settings it took 55 min, do you know why?

@mrmothernature_nexus 3 ай бұрын

Someone mentioned to me that the Benchy on the USB drive is a "speed Benchy", and is somehow calibrated to be very quick. Every other Benchy I have tried slicing is about an hour. No clue why though

@Zachary3DPrints 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. The slice shows a different duration and the actual printing time on the KE. This video was made to show people that they can use a different slicer. I have printed many other models in the meantime and the prints are faster done then mentioned in the slicer.

My KE printer brings an error 2111 after I watched your video. It will not print with CURA. I tried Creality Print slicer and after I slice and start printing, the KE enlarges the print. Any suggestions? I tried chatting with Creality and they reffered me to your video, but nothing is helping. Ready to give up.

no worries, thank you. It's a brand new KE. I had a few successful prints but then all of a sudden I noticed my prints were enlarged by about 5%. I checked all of the settings for both the KE and Creality Print to no avail. I even reinstalled the updated firmware for both the KE printer and the Creality Print software. I used Cura with my Ender 3 v2 and had no problems, but trying to print using Cura on the KE has become quite frustrating.

I received an error code ( Warning Key 2111 Unknown Exception) after the bed leveling step in printing process. I added a printer same as you did in Cura. Added the G29 g-code line. Changed a lot of print settings. I'm wondering if maybe my version of Cura is causing a problem. I'm using 4.12.0 Which version are you running? I'm just looking for any help. I absolutely HATE the supports in Creality slicer. Big fat blocks. All I'm really familiar with is Cura, had I known upfront the KE wasn't compatible right away with Cura I would not have bought this machine. Ah hindsight....

@wanieldeber6903 5 ай бұрын

I have exactly the same problem. It must have something to do with the start code . Have you found a solution yet? I have noticed that the error occurs because the nozzle cools down too much after the second homing. I was able to partially avoid the problem by setting the nozzle to 180 degrees at abl (in the printer's fw). However, it does not take over the temperatures of the filament profiles

Hi there, I did use Cura 5.6.0. in the video, and I checked again, I do have the G29 in the start gcode and mine is working normally without any issue. I hate also the supports in Creality Print... they are the worst... maybe I should do more videos about those... Anyways, I think that Creality should make more profiles in other slicers as well, so people can choose

@Zachary3DPrints 4 ай бұрын

Hello, I only have added the G29 into the start print gcode and it works fine... I did several test prints before I made this video. The hotend fan and both part fans are also working as they suppose to. The printer does run a printer sequence before starting the print as in the start print gcode
