Creality CR-10 Smart Pro - 3D Printer Manual

NOTES

1. Do not use the printer any way other than described here in order to avoid personal injury or property damage.
2. Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive objects. We suggest placing it in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.
3. Do not expose the printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor print quality.
4. Before using experimental or exotic filaments, we suggest using standard filaments such as ABS or PLA to calibrate and test the machine.
5. Do not use any other power cable except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power outlet.
6. Do not touch the nozzle printing surface or motor during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from machine while in use to avoid burns or personal injury.
7. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in the printers moving parts leading to burns, possible bodily injury, or printer damage.
8. When cleaning debris from the printer hotend, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle directly when heated. This can cause personal injury.
9. Children under 10 years old should not use the printer without supervision.
10. This machine is equipped with a security protection mechanism. Do not manually move the nozzle or printing platform mechanism manually while booting up, otherwise the device will automatically power off for safety.
11. Users should comply with the laws and regulations of the corresponding countries and regions where the equipment is located (used), abide by professional ethics, pay attention to safety obligations, and strictly prohibit the use of our products or equipment for any illegal purposes. Creality will not be responsible for any violators' legal liability under any circustance.

Bed Leveling

1. Select "Level" to automatically level
   

During the leveling process, please do not touch the nozzle cable.

Move the nozzle the front/left leveling screw and adjust the platform height by turning the knob underneath (the thickness of a piece of A4 paper)

	The nozzle is too far away from the platform, so the consumables can not adhere to the platform
	Filaments are extruded evenly, just sticking on the platform
	The nozzle is too close to the platform, and the filament is not extruded enough, even scraping the platform

Use a piece of A4 paper to assist with the adjustment, making sure that the nozzle lightly scratches the paper. Complete the adjustment of the screw on all 4 corners. Repeat above steps 1-2 times if necessary. Keep adjusting until there is a resistance on the A4 paper from the nozzle.

After the leveling is completed, adjust the Z-axis compensation value according to the adhesion of the printing consumables and the glass

During the leveling process, please do not touch the nozzle cable.

Preheating Method

To avoid extended pre-heating time, you can warm up the machine before selecting the model or setting some parameters.

Notes: The interface of the manual of instruction is only for reference, and the actual interface shall be subject to the display of the machine.

Notes:

1. The print preheating standard is adjusted at the factory, PLA preheating standard: nozzle temperature 200 °, hot bed temperature 60 °, ABS preheating standard: nozzle temperature 240 °, hot bed temperature 70 °. If you need to adjust it due to printing materials or other reasons, you can adjust the parameters on the interface home page control → temperature → PLA / ABS preheat setting.
2. In case of replacing used filaments, you need to heat the nozzle and draw out remaining filaments when it is melted. Or, some filaments may remain in the nozzles, causing blockages and even damage to the extruder.

Load Filament

When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the filament over the Filament Holder.

When it reaches the target temperature, insert the filament into the small hole of the Extruder until it reaches the nozzle through the filament cutting detection module. If the filament flows out from the nozzle, it presents that the filament is properly loaded.

The method of extrusion spring adjustment: turn left to loosen turn right to tighten (as shown in Fig. A)

Tips: How to replace the filament?

1. Cutting filament near the Extruder and slowly feed new filament until they are fed into new filament
2. Withdrawing the filament quickly and feeding the new filament after nozzle preheated and filament pushed a little forward

Off-line print

1. Download the software from official website (www.cxsw3d.com) or find the software in storage card for installation.
   

File names must be Latin letters or numbers, not Chinese characters or other special symbols

Please don't insert or remove the storage card during printing.

Notes

1. For details on the software instructions, please refer to the slicing software manual in the storage card.
2. Saved files can only be copied to the root directory of the SD card, not to subfolders.

Start Printing

Inspect the machine before printing: Turned off:

1. The nozzle is tight and moves left and right smoothly;
2. X-axis is tightly horizontal and runs smoothly up and down;
3. Y-axis is tight. The platform board does not shake around, and moves back and forth smoothly;
4. The filament rack is tight, the roller works smoothly with uninterrupted materials, and the material comes out smoothly. Powered on:
   1. The display works smoothly and the touch functions normally; the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis move smoothly and sensitively;
   2. The heating of the nozzle and heated bed functions normally;
5. Normal material-in and material-out;
6. Normal leveling. The printer can be set to "Auto power-off" through setting parameters during printing while it is working. When auto power-off is set at "ON", the printer will come to full cooling until auto shutdown 5min after finishing model printing.
   

Note:

1. In the first use or if you need to clear the owner information, you can click "Restore network" button on the screen, wait for 1-2 minutes and then try to scan the code again or connect the network via Bluetooth.

1. Manually adjust the tightness as needed by turning the knob left and right (clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.) Avoid over tightening, which may break the belt and cause damage to the machine. (As shown in A)
2. Please use clean water to clean the dirt on the flat pallet.
3. The machine will restart after power interruption and pop out the "resume printing" button. Please clear the redundant filament between the nozzle and model before resumption to avoid printing failure.
