My case after a week of pulling my hair out, and going absolutely mad lol. The first layer no matter where on the build plate . Prints would either not stick or nozzle hit the build plate even after hours and hours of adjusting the z axis etc. Contacted Creality support soon told them I just got end

If i cannot get the Ender-5 to do more than 4 prints before a significant hardware failure, i’m not going to invest any more into it. I’ve got a new main board on the way for the current “leveling sensor chip” failure. If it fails again after this, i am done with it. As for why the Sovol SV08 Max, i

I had a similar problem with the Ender 5 Max. Creality replaced everything I showed was damaged with no issues. I have had a couple of other issues that seem to have a common cause on the printer. I think the unit vibrates so much that screws get loose and eventually come out. So far I have reinstal

CoPrint actually dialed in and installed all their sofftware and made the coding adjustments, and it bricked my touch screen. I never made ANY adjustments, so that is company programmer issue.

I had the same issue with Creality and an Ender 5 max…broken out of the box. Spent hours over the course of 3 weeks troubleshooting and replacing parts, some of them multiple times. Customer service was zero help. Then while filing a claim for the warranty I’d purchased with it, I learned the warran

creality sucks in general tbh, i had 6 new printers come in at work (3 k2, and 3 ender 5 max) i have problems with 2 out the box and two others had major issues like 1-2 weeks in of having them. ive had shittier 3d printers that have given me less problems than creality printers

Nope, not a skill issue. The K1 max I had had serious VFAs because creality used 20 tooth pulleys and all of that jazz, fine, it was their first gen of a high speed klipper machine to compete with Bambu, I'll forgive that. Then I get a K1 SE, the idlers are glued in skew causing the belts to move ve
