I can't thank you enough for making this vid Michael. I know absolutely nothing about firmware & LCD updates, so I had to watch this several times before I understood the jargon enough to guess the gist of which options I should take. I can start prints now without stressing out! Like you I love the CR10s Pro quality of printing, but unfortunately by the time I found this solution and sorted out all my bed-leveling issues, the erratic Z offset at the beginning of my prints had caused my hot extruder to gouge and damage the black plastic coating on my build plate (the removable top half of the two-piece aluminium bed). Fortunately the bed levelling issues didn't bend or cause any damage to the structure of my machine (switched it off in time). I still can't believe Creality shipped these otherwise amazing printers with FAULTY firmware. It's a beaut printer now, thanks to you! Would appreciate it if you could make a video about options on how to repair/replace CR10s Pro build plate surfaces. I'm sure there's a few out there that are badly gouged and munted like mine.
Hey mate, thanks for this fantastic video. My Creality CR10-S Pro V2 suddenly had issues where it would stop printing. After poking around, I realized I might need to update the firmware. The manual was little-to-no help in this regard, but your video was a lifesaver! Thanks a ton for making it!
VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT: You M-U-S-T select fat32 and 4096 when formatting the SIM. The default setting on my SIM was fat32 and another value for 4096. I wasted hours on this, hope this help someone out there. Thanks so much for producing this video btw...
Thanks a lot, just updated using Cura and .hex file. Works great now. Thanks again for showing multiple ways to upgrade the firmware. You got a subscriber.
Hi Michael! I have semi-bricked my LCD board (power out during update), which means it works but can't run update anymore when I put in the card, so I am stuck on a 2-year-old tiny machines firmware (yeah using it very rarely). I was reading about how to unbrick the mainboard with reflashing bootloader on it, but I don't know enough to be sure that the same thing works with the display as well. Could help me out here, is it ok to do that?
if you just want to update the Creality CR10SPro Firmware from Creality do you also need to do the LCD or just when you want to use Tiny Machines firmware?
Tinymachines website for that address is TOTALLY different now. The files you are showing in this video don't exist. I just purchased my CR-10s Pro and am running ver. 1.6 and would like to moe to the TM one but I can't figure out how to get the DWIN files for the screen and I think I have the .HEX file but I am not sure. Any help would be great.
Another great video, so informative. The channel just gets better and better. I have learned so much from you Sir and have the utmost respect for your dedication to help, inform and educate. Awesome..
Not exactly! He references far too many places we can get the software and never really indicates that he's only using one software set. This was confusing and according to the remarks caused a lot of people the loss of their printer
Hahaha how i love you - in hope to get in some hours my cr-10s pro :-) But to be honest, its absolut customer unfriendly to have so much work to make an update.
This is such great content, my CR10S is currently on transit, I hope I dont run into any issues but you have done an amazing work of sorting these out for us, it really puts me at ease to know I can come back to your videos and guides if anything happens, ty man.
Very helpful. Thank you. One stumbling block was getting the printer and computer to communicate via the USB cable. When I plugged the cable into the mini-USB port on the printer, the printer powered up even though the power switch was off. However (and it took me, a neophyte, a while to realize this), the computer cannot communicate with the printer until the printer is physically switched on at the power supply.
Thanks for this video. It helped out so much. I waited to do this until I finished my micro swiss all metal hot end and extruder mod and a all new cooling duct system. I noticed my CR10 was having auto bed leveling issues after the mod was completed (like crashing into the table during the auto leveling program) even though the height had been reset. Searching YT, I found I needed to clear the EEPROM by flashing the firmware.. And this video popped right up.. This video was the easiest by far to follow and understand. And after downloading some of the items needed I now have updated firmware and LCD display.. There were a few rough spots. TM has changed the look and layout of their site sense this video was uploaded. That slowed down the process a little. And there was no single firmware update for just the original CR-10S Pro, only the firmware for with BL Touch.. So I'm worried about running the auto leveling and crashing the hot end into the bed again. I also have an issues when homing. When you press auto home the machine goes to a different location than it did before the firmware update..
I got the firmware updated through Cura hex, but I cannot get Dwin_set to install the image files. I still don't see the Tiny machines startup screen, but the firmware does show TM3D 10S PRO. Any idea how to fix that?
I’m having a horrible customer service issue with Creality and Banggood. My bed came warped out of the box and was able to show them by pictures and video. So far Creality tells me a bed replacement would be needed, but I need to talk to Banggood. Banggood is giving me the run around so far only offering me a small credit without replacing the bed. I will never buy another Creality product or from Banggood again.
well at least you got your printer, I ordered a CR-10S pro in November 2018 and never received it, and im fighting to get my money back.....Banggood no way BANGBAD more like it...….Beware
I got a normal cr-10 a few years back from them and things always went wrong. Turns out I have the wrong extruder, etc. And I noticed when I was putting it together some things were already done. They definitely gave me a used/modified machine and sold it to me as brand new.
Thanks for the tips! While trying to update the firmware in my Ender 5 Plus touchscreen, I kept getting the update screen showing 0000 on all rows and "End" near instantly. Tried a bunch of different SD cards. Eventually got it to work by formatting the included SD card in its entirety with VFAT - that's the whole card, not the standard partition. This let me install Desuuuu's DGUS-reloaded and Marlin 2. I'm hoping I'll be able to keep the touchscreen usable when I install a Bigtree controller board.
Great videos, thank you very much. I'd like to use Linear Advance on my CR10S Pro. Can't really find anyone using it and you don't make mention of it when you talk about it on the Prusia how to do so on the CR10S Pro. Also, I find firmware (even with Marlin 2.0) on the net, but in the example files there is no CR10S Pro as an option to start with. Can you tell me if I can simply use the CR10S? I'm afraid about it not working because of the updated screen? Thanks and kind regards
Hi there, sorry for such new questions, I only just got a CR10 s V2 and could only print via the usb cable connected to the laptop because the printer wasn't reading my files on the SD card. I updated something on the printer via Cura on my computer with the result that the printer now reads my file on the sd card but the nozzle of the hot end keeps on plunging into the bed. The auto levelling doesn't seem to kick in? The hot end jams into the surface and the stepper motors sound like they are shredding gears. Please help. Greetings from Steve. South Africa.
I downloaded the tinymachine version as a hex and udated my firmware via cura, now I have one proble I just updated my fan assembly over the heat sink what offset my probe how can I change the offset and keep the new firmware update I just made?
hmmm, according to the source code, the thermal protection is indeed enabled on the factory firmware " Thermal Protection protects your printer from damage and fire if a * thermistor falls out or temperature sensors fail in any way. * * The issue: If a thermistor falls out or a temperature sensor fails, * Marlin can no longer sense the actual temperature. Since a disconnected * thermistor reads as a low temperature, the firmware will keep the heater on. * * If you get "Thermal Runaway" or "Heating failed" errors the * details can be tuned in Configuration_adv.h */ #define THERMAL_PROTECTION_HOTENDS // Enable thermal protection for all extruders #define THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED // Enable thermal protection for the heated bed" Is there a reason then to upgrade to tinymachines software?
Thank you so much for the detailed video! how exactly do i find the latest DWIN and .Hex files? i see 7.4.6 is out now and i cant find where the DWIN for ir it. i found the .7z file, but im not sure what to do with that.
Hello, thank you very much for the information, you have founded your one good and important channel for the makers. I bought the CR-10S Pro V2 in 2020 and after a year I wanted to update its functions. Unfortunately, Creality and MyLittel Factorie had updated their websites so much at the time that I could only use them as a guide. And it came that I played a wrong firmwre which is now stuck on the device. I've tried a few more things but I've had the printer for a year (leaving it in a corner a bit frustrated). I just can't access the printer with the Com interface. Do I have to install a new bootloader (and how does that work on this board (Ender 5 don't have the same board)) ist ther samethink i am able to do?
Your wealth of experience is wonderful. Have you done a transcript of these? The description as a pdf would be wunderbar! Efficiency ;) One additional thing. We don't all live ( or want too) live in a Win ix86/64 environment. Many of are using a FULL GPL environment. An insert of linux-debian/fedora tracks would be great! I use Debian 32&64 ARM & 32-i686 personally. I have the parts to "frank" an AMD-64 from a few devices. That's 2 weeks easy Your content is great. I might even help with my .nix beasts. I have an Ender 3, & a Monoprice mini v1. I may add a Marlin board to it. The v.1 software is quite hokey, even with OctoPi.
Hi, I am just trying to upload a firmware froom Th3D. I can see the comms port but when uploading having this error ""Oops! Make sure you have 'Sanguino' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu.""
Sadly I followed the tiny machines resource page today, and your video, step by step, and now my printer does nothing but print a stringy mess. Needless to say, reinstalling all official firmware now. Aggravated enough currently, might lose my lemons, if my printer never prints normally again.
You List three different places where files can be downloaded from. But you never indicate which files are downloaded from which locations. You have the creality firmware page but you indicate that it does not have the LCD update. Apparently, magically that file got downloaded to your computer or sd card even though it's not everything we need and you explained what the files are and which one we need. Then there's a separate page from creality where you see there's a separate download for the screen software. Interestingly, on the second creality page there are three download files. One of which is the screen firmware. There's a third file apparently firmware version 1.60 .3. You never mentioned this and you probably should indicate this is not the file we're looking for. Furthermore, both files that we need appear on this page. Why not just go directly to this page and download both sets of files instead of going to one page for a four one file and another page for another file? Again unzip the files to summon Magic Place you never indicate if it's on the SD card that we're going to put into printer. Now you go to get a third page tiny machines to get 3D firmware for cr10s pro. What the hell are you doing? At this point in time I'm confused as hell I don't know what files I'm supposed to have downloaded from where and where to put those files and in what order. Like are they supposed to be in a folder or just in the root? There are a lot of remarks indicating that after they followed your instructions their printer no longer works. Don't you think it would be good to review your instructions? Make sure that you didn't leave anything out or didn't put something in that shouldn't be. You spend an awful lot of time explaining how we can take the 8 gigabyte micro SD card that came with the unit and back it up and then format it and erase it. Maybe you should have just said go to the electronic store or online and buy a new 8 gig micro SD card and format it according to instructions.. If you spent as much time explaining switching the files for firmware upgrade as you did on how to format an SD card, this would have been a different video. Most people know how to format an SD card. So you did a comparison of all of these folders side by side earlier in the video and said if you don't like the logo you can copy it from another place and renamed it as the original logo. Well when you have the D win folder, when we're actually going to use to upgrade, you don't indicate what's in the D win folder. Most stories has a beginning a middle and an end. The story of upgrading the LCD never ends. You should say something like that's it now we've upgraded the LCD we can put the thing back together again and upgrade the motherboard. To take this on the other side, when you are starting to upgrade the motherboard firmware you should state that. And you should state that this file that you downloaded from this site is the one that you need to update the firmware on the main board. You started out just assuming everything. It seems like you tried to be everything to everybody. The problem is you've got a lot of people in your remarks that say that now after following your instructions their printer no longer works!
shame the guy never actually answers these questions, pointless putting stuff up on YT if you are not going comment on questions you create by not showing every step :/
Is the choice between thermal runaway vs power loss resume due ti the size of the new Marlin version creating a larger hex than the 10S Pro has space for with both enabled?
Creality has made a post on reddit r/3Dprinting, stating that they are working to fix the issues with the CR10S Pro and they are asking people to send reports that describe the flaws they have noticed with their machine.
I just got my CR10S Pro yesterday. Do you recommend upgrading the firmware immediately? I had no problem printing after basic leveling. What does this firmware update improve exactly? Second question: What is the maximum print speed mm/s you can achieve with CR10S pro? Can you share your print profile soon or make another detailed video like your comparison video soon? (Cura profile please!) Thank you for your great videos.
can you not just edit the creality version and enable thermal runaway protection? Im going to try to do that for my standard CR10s. Maybe you would need some extra LCD buttons but could possible hack them together with the tiny machines build?
If I'm trying to adjust my temp, do I do in while I'm in the ardino step during the update? I've looked over Github and the Merlin firmware there has configurations for every type of creality printer but the pro and I don't want to accidently ruin something.
Hi, I just tried downloading the Tiny Machines firmware files but it seems now they merged them with the V2. Some images show bltouch buttons and such. Will this work with my V1 model?
loaded per instructions..... loads the screen directly to the showing end.. mine does not go through all the screens like yours? any suggestions? thanks for the great video!
I had a similar problem. Jump to 3:20 and note that the allocation size may be important, as it is specifically pointed out. I also noted that the default name was longer using the windows formatting tool, so I reduced it to reflect the example "CR10SPRO" without quotes. After doing these steps it worked for me. In fact, my screen is now using the RED color set :)
@@dnainkable You, sir, are an eagle-eyed superstar! I had a feeling it would be a FAT issue, that maybe I'd formatted FAT16 rather than FAT32, or vice versa, but you were spot on with the allocation size. Mine's all updated now, I even stuck my own modded boot screen on there. Mooch-arse grassy-arse, dude! :D
Hi, I have noticed recently that the printer goes to the home position part way through a print. Is this normal if it has lost its way. I am on the V1 machine with the 1.70 Creality firmware, it has the thermal runaway, so I asume it is all up to date. I cant find the correct Tiny Machines one for it as they seem to be on to the V2 machine with the BL Touch. Using CURA 4.5.0 on iMac. Any advice or pointers?
Hey can you share the files for not BLTouch? I have some problems finding files for no BLTouch even on tinymachines :( my printer went crazy I have CR10s PRO (not V2 and without BLTouch)
The firmware link is in the official manual/document of TinyMachines. Note that the specific firmware for the display is NOT linked: docs.google.com/document/d/1cuYWpDw8aPuLEXus3uNsgDIEAKEze3Z9-hIDMWcqMK8/edit
Can you please do a updated video, with the more advanced settings such as the servo pins, as well as pin debugging, and how to get marlin 2.0 to work with the stock cr10s pro touchscreen? I have multiple problems, one is the printer and bltouch working semi-correctly (it works when you run the self test, down and up commands, but when leveling, the printer head doesn't stop). I also have the issue that after installing marlin from the tiny machines firmware, all of the fans except the one inside the printer stopped working.
Just followed these instructions. They worked perfectly, but the code doesn't. On CR-10s Pro V2 (with stock BL Touch) The wav files on the LCD are all static. The Auto Bed Leveling feature is gone. I can select it, but it goes away as soon as I leave the screen and now it won't work.
Michael, I can't get my printer to update the firmware, I flashed the screen firmware but can't seem to get the mainboard to flash. I flashed the LCD screen easily but the mainboard just doesn't connect and the COM port is still the same as if it is plugged in or not. definitely need your help... I also tried the Cura path and it doesn't connect at all, tiny machines had an Xloader link and I can't get that to work either. I easily flashed my Ender 3 months ago so I'm not completely new either. Unfortunately, I'm just stuck and have a new Hemera hot end installed and need to flash the firmware to get it working.
Hi, I have upgraded my scree and main board to the tiny machines firmware, its working, but i cant now connect to the USB port at all. Do you have any ideas?
It is here github.com/InsanityAutomation/Marlin/tree/CrealityDwin_2.0 Use 7zip to extract the file SingleExtruderScreens_V2Rev1.7z into its own folder. That folder will now have the DWIN
I updated my CR-10S Pro firmware and the LCD firmware with the Tiny Machines firmware (following your instructions), and now the printer does not home! It homes in the middle of nowhere! Any ideas please? Thanks.
Hey so I've followed your video and updated Firmware but for some reason I have lost the ability to level the bed? Any ideas what this is or could be ? Thanks
Great video Michael, as always. I have an off-topic question to all you guys from the comment section. Michael, maybe you could help me too. Every filament change, I watch your video about tuning slicing software and I do all the steps you recommend. Everything is great but I am confused with one thing. I have my perfect profile which is 203 ℃, retraction 4.4 and speed 50mm/sec. Problem is no matter what I do when I slice it with simplify3D first layer always run at 190 ℃. I have no clue what this might be. Looked everywhere and always the same. Also, Michael, you need to tell me where did you get that barbarian head model which you had in a previous studio setup. Huge Diablo fan and I need to have it.
Does tinymachines not offer firmware anymore ? their webpage has changed it seems, and after hours of searching i have an unassembled printer and a headache lol
I have flashed tiny machines firmware on my Creality CR10s Pro and everything works great except for the measurement option, when i try to do the 25 point probing, at the first point hot end goes right to the edge of the build plate and proximity sensor is in the air at that time so probing procedure fails. I don't have BL touch, using inductive proximity sensor. Is there a way to fix this via the offset menus ?
I followed these instructions (updating to the latest B7 available from TinyMachines). Unfortunately, it has broken my ability to print via USB from Cura 4.1 (Using Creawesome). The printer still connects to my PC, as indicated by the jingle and the appearance of a new COM port in the device manager. I can connect via Pronterface, but my connection to Cura is gone. Any help?
@@TeachingTech Thanks for the quick response! I had to change the baud rate on the port in order to get the firmware to correctly update, but don't see an option in Cura to change that value. I did however, just set the rate back to its original value, and now Cura can print to it once again, tho...there are other issues, the connectivity one is resolved for now. If you can point out that setting in Cura 4.1 (with creawesome) or if its a gcode command...I dunno.
anywhere else to get the dwin file? ive tried multiple times and it just stays at preparing to download. it never downloads it. i even tried on my laptop and still nothing.
HI, I just upgraded my CR10s Pro to a CR10S pro V2 I add a BLtouch and firmware and screen update. I had trouble getting the machine to update but it is done. But now I have a new issue, the two cooling fans on the print head will not turn on. I have checked the settings in the new firmware, and have turned it on. the fans still will not work. Any ideas would be great. Am I still missing something? I upgraded using Tiny Machines kit and firmware.
Followed your steps and all went well but post upgrade my preset PLA preheat temps are 180 nozzle and 70 bed. Is there a way to change that? I want my pre-heat temps for PLA to be 200 nozzle and 50 bed.
Thanks for the video, however, I am having trouble with my update. I followed your instructions and uploaded the screen version (CR10SPro_Max_Ender5Plus_V2_Screen.7z) what I thought was the correct board version (CR10Pro_Stock_BIL_DW5.hex) but when I click on the Settings/Leveling screen I get a different version to what I am supposed to. It gives the five-point level check screen and none of those buttons work. My Machine is a stock standard CR-10S Pro with no firmware update since I purchased it in 12/2018. Just wondering if you have come across this.
hi guys, strangely enough i downloaded firmware upgrade from the link of creality website, and it was 1.60.8 and i flashed it. Now when i click the same link, it's 1.60.71... i'm guessing 1.60.71 is later version? does anyone know whats going on?
can you help with my issue please.. Got the firmware updated.. Tried to update screen and the dwin set says end with all 0000.. Meaning nothing chagned.. Using updated files from tm3d... much apppreciated!!
Thanks for the video - I've updated my printer to the Tinymachines CR-10S Pro firmware ( hex file.) I did run into a problem when I needed to add filament during the printing process. After adding the filament I was asked if I wished to continue printing or quit (screen 82_E_Refuel2.bmp). I selected "yes" to return to printing - but nothing happened. I pressed "yes" several times and waited as well. Still nothing. Wondering if you tested this - or have seen this before. Filament sensor tested ok. Also, pressing "no" also resulted in no action. I was required to power down the machine and start the print over. Note that the printer was maintaining the temperature fine. I have downloaded and successfully compiled the source code from Creality - but would like the features and code corrections provided by Tinymachines. Tinymachines does not provide the source code. Thanks again for taking the time to review the product.
I have the CR-10s Pro v2. I cannot get the the M600 filament change code to work with Cura. I an currently running stock everything. Could you make a video to solve this problem??? Thank you.
Hello. Xloader finishes updating with 0 bytes updated message. also cura is stucked at firmware upload pgress bar. promterface is OK with connecting and managing printer. any ideas? changed all baud rates and tried. firmware file is confirmed with tinymachines support. its CR10Pro_Stock_BIL_DW5.hex as of Feb.20
Thanks for the tutorial! Question for you if you see this. Recently my CR10spro went wonky and now has major later shifting on Y axis like it's over shooting front and back measurements, sometimes it's layer shifting only in one direction like stairs but other times it goes both ways 🤔maybe Y axis is biaxial 🤪 . I've checked all mechanics and everything is as it was since I've been printing for 13 months and boy have I been printing. Could this be a glitch in firmware? I figure electric motors are going to either work or not work . My belts are tight and teeth are fine. I had a weird episode of my flash card being deleted by the printer on the same day that the layer shifting started. That's why I wonder if it's a firmware/software glitch. Computers being stupid occasionally and requiring humans to reset them . Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have 10 rolls of filament waiting to print Christmas displays 🤣
Tried this and get a message saying the error with board, says it's not what you say to select. Not an easy thing to do as you suggest for someone not into computers and technology
i have a cr-10s i bought from a guy but i have not been able to use it because it come up MINTEMP ERROR i bought a new mother board and new hot end from the factory. i have checked the ohm for the thermistor and the other one beside it. everything checks out but i turned it on and then try to preheat the nozzel and as soon as it should kick on it goes right to the mintemp error. do you have any ideas on how to fit it please help .. i
you'll be glad to know that Creality has just released the source code for their latest firmware, which also seem to have thermal runaway detection.
Do we still lose power loss recovery when we gain thermal runaway protection?
@@bongoband5454 Hard to tell: With marlin 2.0.X you have both. I don't know which firmware creality is using now.

Hi thanks for the Video. Could you please update the link in the comments, so we can find the configuration file for the CR10s Pro V2?
Maybe it is about time to update the links ?
Thanks a lot, just updated using Cura and .hex file. Works great now. Thanks again for showing multiple ways to upgrade the firmware. You got a subscriber.
All the firmware links in the description are dead.
What is the latest firmware update for the CR-10S Pro and from where can I download it?
Hi Michael! I have semi-bricked my LCD board (power out during update), which means it works but can't run update anymore when I put in the card, so I am stuck on a 2-year-old tiny machines firmware (yeah using it very rarely).

Amazing tutorial, this helped me a lot during my leveling issues with my CR10S! Thank you mate!
Thanks. I thought I had an issue with my CR10 Max getting stuck on that blue screen, but you confirmed that's normal.
if you just want to update the Creality CR10SPro Firmware from Creality do you also need to do the LCD or just when you want to use Tiny Machines firmware?
Yes no Maybe, I am calling in a consultant but your video informed me on the process and agree with the importance. Thank You
Yes, that’s for the assistance, new firmware updated and began to print again.
Tinymachines website for that address is TOTALLY different now. The files you are showing in this video don't exist. I just purchased my CR-10s Pro and am running ver. 1.6 and would like to moe to the TM one but I can't figure out how to get the DWIN files for the screen and I think I have the .HEX file but I am not sure.

Hahaha how i love you - in hope to get in some hours my cr-10s pro :-) But to be honest, its absolut customer unfriendly to have so much work to make an update.
Mine should be coming tomorrow, and I'm already thinking of also updating the FW.
This is such great content, my CR10S is currently on transit, I hope I dont run into any issues but you have done an amazing work of sorting these out for us, it really puts me at ease to know I can come back to your videos and guides if anything happens, ty man.
Very helpful. Thank you. One stumbling block was getting the printer and computer to communicate via the USB cable. When I plugged the cable into the mini-USB port on the printer, the printer powered up even though the power switch was off. However (and it took me, a neophyte, a while to realize this), the computer cannot communicate with the printer until the printer is physically switched on at the power supply.
Thanks for this video. It helped out so much.
I waited to do this until I finished my micro swiss all metal hot end and extruder mod and a all new cooling duct system.
I noticed my CR10 was having auto bed leveling issues after the mod was completed (like crashing into the table during the auto leveling program) even though the height had been reset. Searching YT, I found I needed to clear the EEPROM by flashing the firmware.. And this video popped right up.. This video was the easiest by far to follow and understand. And after downloading some of the items needed I now have updated firmware and LCD display..
There were a few rough spots. TM has changed the look and layout of their site sense this video was uploaded. That slowed down the process a little. And there was no single firmware update for just the original CR-10S Pro, only the firmware for with BL Touch.. So I'm worried about running the auto leveling and crashing the hot end into the bed again. I also have an issues when homing. When you press auto home the machine goes to a different location than it did before the firmware update..
I got the firmware updated through Cura hex, but I cannot get Dwin_set to install the image files. I still don't see the Tiny machines startup screen, but the firmware does show TM3D 10S PRO. Any idea how to fix that?
Make sure when you format the SD Card the "Allocation Unit Size" option is set to "4096 Bytes"
@@trajanonerd That did the trick. Thank you
Question: With Creality releasing their v1.70.1 of the firmware. Which is better to use? Creality or Tiny Machines? I have the CR-10S Pro V2
Thank you for the great walk through. My CR 10S pro comes in today and it will be the first thing I do.
Could you cover the V2 of this printer?
Absolute great informative video , I learned a lot from this video!
I’m having a horrible customer service issue with Creality and Banggood. My bed came warped out of the box and was able to show them by pictures and video. So far Creality tells me a bed replacement would be needed, but I need to talk to Banggood. Banggood is giving me the run around so far only offering me a small credit without replacing the bed. I will never buy another Creality product or from Banggood again.
well at least you got your printer, I ordered a CR-10S pro in November 2018 and never received it, and im fighting to get my money back.....Banggood no way BANGBAD more like it...….Beware
I appreciate the video he made for us unlucky ones that spent money for creality.
My recommendation, upgrade to a better company....
I got a normal cr-10 a few years back from them and things always went wrong. Turns out I have the wrong extruder, etc. And I noticed when I was putting it together some things were already done. They definitely gave me a used/modified machine and sold it to me as brand new.
@@SomaCruz29 I find it incredibly amazing some people still recommend creality products.
Thanks for the tips! While trying to update the firmware in my Ender 5 Plus touchscreen, I kept getting the update screen showing 0000 on all rows and "End" near instantly. Tried a bunch of different SD cards. Eventually got it to work by formatting the included SD card in its entirety with VFAT - that's the whole card, not the standard partition. This let me install Desuuuu's DGUS-reloaded and Marlin 2. I'm hoping I'll be able to keep the touchscreen usable when I install a Bigtree controller board.
Thanks a lot, prints much smoother now!
Great videos, thank you very much. I'd like to use Linear Advance on my CR10S Pro. Can't really find anyone using it and you don't make mention of it when you talk about it on the Prusia how to do so on the CR10S Pro.
Also, I find firmware (even with Marlin 2.0) on the net, but in the example files there is no CR10S Pro as an option to start with. Can you tell me if I can simply use the CR10S? I'm afraid about it not working because of the updated screen?
Thanks and kind regards
Hi there, sorry for such new questions, I only just got a CR10 s V2 and could only print via the usb cable connected to the laptop because the printer wasn't reading my files on the SD card. I updated something on the printer via Cura on my computer with the result that the printer now reads my file on the sd card but the nozzle of the hot end keeps on plunging into the bed. The auto levelling doesn't seem to kick in? The hot end jams into the surface and the stepper motors sound like they are shredding gears. Please help. Greetings from Steve. South Africa.
I downloaded the tinymachine version as a hex and udated my firmware via cura, now I have one proble I just updated my fan assembly over the heat sink what offset my probe how can I change the offset and keep the new firmware update I just made?
Do you know if the latest firmware 1.70.1 from Creality comes with the thermal runaway enabled ?
hmmm, according to the source code, the thermal protection is indeed enabled on the factory firmware " Thermal Protection protects your printer from damage and fire if a
* thermistor falls out or temperature sensors fail in any way.
*
* The issue: If a thermistor falls out or a temperature sensor fails,
* Marlin can no longer sense the actual temperature. Since a disconnected
* thermistor reads as a low temperature, the firmware will keep the heater on.
*
* If you get "Thermal Runaway" or "Heating failed" errors the
* details can be tuned in Configuration_adv.h
*/
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_HOTENDS // Enable thermal protection for all extruders
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED // Enable thermal protection for the heated bed"
Is there a reason then to upgrade to tinymachines software?
Thank you so much for the detailed video! how exactly do i find the latest DWIN and .Hex files? i see 7.4.6 is out now and i cant find where the DWIN for ir it. i found the .7z file, but im not sure what to do with that.
Hello, thank you very much for the information, you have founded your one good and important channel for the makers.
I bought the CR-10S Pro V2 in 2020 and after a year I wanted to update its functions. Unfortunately, Creality and MyLittel Factorie had updated their websites so much at the time that I could only use them as a guide. And it came that I played a wrong firmwre which is now stuck on the device.
I've tried a few more things but I've had the printer for a year (leaving it in a corner a bit frustrated).
I just can't access the printer with the Com interface.
Do I have to install a new bootloader (and how does that work on this board (Ender 5 don't have the same board))
ist ther samethink i am able to do?
I'm having trouble finding the right versions of the printer and the monitor, can you please tell me where to find them?
Masterpiece! Thanks so much!
bro i can't find the hex files. can you help me?
hello got a question i have a CR10S PRO but for some reason the bed keeps heating up on it own .... any help thanks
is this the same for the CR-10 MAX?
Have you got an answer to your question?
@@mariocarcamo5942 I too would like to know this
Your wealth of experience is wonderful. Have you done a transcript of these? The description as a pdf would be wunderbar! Efficiency ;) One additional thing. We don't all live ( or want too) live in a Win ix86/64 environment. Many of are using a FULL GPL environment. An insert of linux-debian/fedora tracks would be great! I use Debian 32&64 ARM & 32-i686 personally. I have the parts to "frank" an AMD-64 from a few devices. That's 2 weeks easy
Your content is great. I might even help with my .nix beasts. I have an Ender 3, & a Monoprice mini v1. I may add a Marlin board to it. The v.1 software is quite hokey, even with OctoPi.
Will the CR10S Pro firmware etc. would also work with the CR10Max?
Hi, I am just trying to upload a firmware froom Th3D. I can see the comms port but when uploading having this error ""Oops! Make sure you have 'Sanguino' selected from the 'Tools -> Boards' menu.""
Is there a newer update till date?
Sadly I followed the tiny machines resource page today, and your video, step by step, and now my printer does nothing but print a stringy mess. Needless to say, reinstalling all official firmware now. Aggravated enough currently, might lose my lemons, if my printer never prints normally again.
im getting a cr-10s pro in a couple of days, should I go ahead and do the firmware update before setting the printer up to print, thanks for any help.
I ran this update last year and it was great. Any plans to do a follow up to update to the latest tiny machines firmware?
i get "sd card process end!" and it wont flash. any ideas?
You List three different places where files can be downloaded from. But you never indicate which files are downloaded from which locations. You have the creality firmware page but you indicate that it does not have the LCD update. Apparently, magically that file got downloaded to your computer or sd card even though it's not everything we need and you explained what the files are and which one we need.
Then there's a separate page from creality where you see there's a separate download for the screen software. Interestingly, on the second creality page there are three download files. One of which is the screen firmware. There's a third file apparently firmware version 1.60 .3. You never mentioned this and you probably should indicate this is not the file we're looking for. Furthermore, both files that we need appear on this page. Why not just go directly to this page and download both sets of files instead of going to one page for a four one file and another page for another file? Again unzip the files to summon Magic Place you never indicate if it's on the SD card that we're going to put into printer.
Now you go to get a third page tiny machines to get 3D firmware for cr10s pro. What the hell are you doing? At this point in time I'm confused as hell I don't know what files I'm supposed to have downloaded from where and where to put those files and in what order. Like are they supposed to be in a folder or just in the root?
There are a lot of remarks indicating that after they followed your instructions their printer no longer works. Don't you think it would be good to review your instructions? Make sure that you didn't leave anything out or didn't put something in that shouldn't be.
You spend an awful lot of time explaining how we can take the 8 gigabyte micro SD card that came with the unit and back it up and then format it and erase it. Maybe you should have just said go to the electronic store or online and buy a new 8 gig micro SD card and format it according to instructions.. If you spent as much time explaining switching the files for firmware upgrade as you did on how to format an SD card, this would have been a different video. Most people know how to format an SD card.
So you did a comparison of all of these folders side by side earlier in the video and said if you don't like the logo you can copy it from another place and renamed it as the original logo. Well when you have the D win folder, when we're actually going to use to upgrade, you don't indicate what's in the D win folder.
Most stories has a beginning a middle and an end. The story of upgrading the LCD never ends. You should say something like that's it now we've upgraded the LCD we can put the thing back together again and upgrade the motherboard.
To take this on the other side, when you are starting to upgrade the motherboard firmware you should state that. And you should state that this file that you downloaded from this site is the one that you need to update the firmware on the main board. You started out just assuming everything.
It seems like you tried to be everything to everybody. The problem is you've got a lot of people in your remarks that say that now after following your instructions their printer no longer works!
shame the guy never actually answers these questions, pointless putting stuff up on YT if you are not going comment on questions you create by not showing every step :/
Is the choice between thermal runaway vs power loss resume due ti the size of the new Marlin version creating a larger hex than the 10S Pro has space for with both enabled?
I'd be interested to know this as well. Also if there is a work around currently to gain thermal runaway without losing the power loss function.
Creality has made a post on reddit r/3Dprinting, stating that they are working to fix the issues with the CR10S Pro and they are asking people to send reports that describe the flaws they have noticed with their machine.
They should also post a step-by-step explanation of how to update their firmware and main board!
I just got my CR10S Pro yesterday. Do you recommend upgrading the firmware immediately? I had no problem printing after basic leveling. What does this firmware update improve exactly?
Second question: What is the maximum print speed mm/s you can achieve with CR10S pro? Can you share your print profile soon or make another detailed video like your comparison video soon? (Cura profile please!)
Thank you for your great videos.
Any Chance of a Video to swap a non-Creality machine using RAMP 1.4 to the Creality mainboard to get the quiet stepper drivers?
artillery sidewinder fix video pleasssse :)!
very good like always
What's wrong with your Sidewinder? I may be able to help
can you not just edit the creality version and enable thermal runaway protection? Im going to try to do that for my standard CR10s. Maybe you would need some extra LCD buttons but could possible hack them together with the tiny machines build?
You can do it that way. What advantage do you hope to gain for the extra work?
this is a really good video the only problem i can think of is that he didnt mention you need a 16gb sd card or smaller to format to fat 32 4069
Can you print with the CR-10s Pro also Nylon/Carbon Fiber filament without changing the hotend before?
If I'm trying to adjust my temp, do I do in while I'm in the ardino step during the update? I've looked over Github and the Merlin firmware there has configurations for every type of creality printer but the pro and I don't want to accidently ruin something.
Hi, I just tried downloading the Tiny Machines firmware files but it seems now they merged them with the V2. Some images show bltouch buttons and such. Will this work with my V1 model?
Thanks ... great video.
Firmware link for Tinymachines is not working now, where can I get this?
loaded per instructions..... loads the screen directly to the showing end.. mine does not go through all the screens like yours? any suggestions? thanks for the great video!
Is it updated and working? If so, happy printing.
It didn't update the screen. I just updated the latest firmware on creality. The screen would not update.
I had a similar problem. Jump to 3:20 and note that the allocation size may be important, as it is specifically pointed out. I also noted that the default name was longer using the windows formatting tool, so I reduced it to reflect the example "CR10SPRO" without quotes. After doing these steps it worked for me. In fact, my screen is now using the RED color set :)
@@dnainkable You, sir, are an eagle-eyed superstar! I had a feeling it would be a FAT issue, that maybe I'd formatted FAT16 rather than FAT32, or vice versa, but you were spot on with the allocation size.
Mine's all updated now, I even stuck my own modded boot screen on there.
Mooch-arse grassy-arse, dude! :D
Hi, I have noticed recently that the printer goes to the home position part way through a print. Is this normal if it has lost its way. I am on the V1 machine with the 1.70 Creality firmware, it has the thermal runaway, so I asume it is all up to date. I cant find the correct Tiny Machines one for it as they seem to be on to the V2 machine with the BL Touch. Using CURA 4.5.0 on iMac. Any advice or pointers?
Hey can you share the files for not BLTouch? I have some problems finding files for no BLTouch even on tinymachines :( my printer went crazy
I have CR10s PRO (not V2 and without BLTouch)
The firmware link is in the official manual/document of TinyMachines. Note that the specific firmware for the display is NOT linked:
docs.google.com/document/d/1cuYWpDw8aPuLEXus3uNsgDIEAKEze3Z9-hIDMWcqMK8/edit
i have a small problem. when flashing the screen it does not seem to accually flash it. There is no "download" or anything. just "done"
What can i do?
Is this all one needs to do to plug in and use a bltouch?
Can you please do a updated video, with the more advanced settings such as the servo pins, as well as pin debugging, and how to get marlin 2.0 to work with the stock cr10s pro touchscreen? I have multiple problems, one is the printer and bltouch working semi-correctly (it works when you run the self test, down and up commands, but when leveling, the printer head doesn't stop). I also have the issue that after installing marlin from the tiny machines firmware, all of the fans except the one inside the printer stopped working.
Just followed these instructions. They worked perfectly, but the code doesn't. On CR-10s Pro V2 (with stock BL Touch) The wav files on the LCD are all static. The Auto Bed Leveling feature is gone. I can select it, but it goes away as soon as I leave the screen and now it won't work.
Michael, I can't get my printer to update the firmware, I flashed the screen firmware but can't seem to get the mainboard to flash. I flashed the LCD screen easily but the mainboard just doesn't connect and the COM port is still the same as if it is plugged in or not. definitely need your help... I also tried the Cura path and it doesn't connect at all, tiny machines had an Xloader link and I can't get that to work either. I easily flashed my Ender 3 months ago so I'm not completely new either. Unfortunately, I'm just stuck and have a new Hemera hot end installed and need to flash the firmware to get it working.
can you alter the spelling mistakes on the LCD display?
Hi, I have upgraded my scree and main board to the tiny machines firmware, its working, but i cant now connect to the USB port at all. Do you have any ideas?
Soooo... Where in the world do I get the firmware for the mainboard?
i cant find them either they dont seem to be on tiny machines anymore
It is here github.com/InsanityAutomation/Marlin/tree/CrealityDwin_2.0
Use 7zip to extract the file SingleExtruderScreens_V2Rev1.7z into its own folder.
That folder will now have the DWIN
I updated my CR-10S Pro firmware and the LCD firmware with the Tiny Machines firmware (following your instructions), and now the printer does not home! It homes in the middle of nowhere! Any ideas please? Thanks.
Hey so I've followed your video and updated Firmware but for some reason I have lost the ability to level the bed? Any ideas what this is or could be ? Thanks
Great video Michael, as always.
I have an off-topic question to all you guys from the comment section. Michael, maybe you could help me too.
Every filament change, I watch your video about tuning slicing software and I do all the steps you recommend. Everything is great but I am confused with one thing.
I have my perfect profile which is 203 ℃, retraction 4.4 and speed 50mm/sec.
Problem is no matter what I do when I slice it with simplify3D first layer always run at 190 ℃. I have no clue what this might be. Looked everywhere and always the same.
Also, Michael, you need to tell me where did you get that barbarian head model which you had in a previous studio setup. Huge Diablo fan and I need to have it.
Just a heads up, the creality drivers link doesn't work anymore. Thanks for the information!
thank you teaching tech
I updated the Lcd firmware and sometimes i get a screen from previous UI PLEASE HELP how to reset all memory and stay on latest
Hi, I did this upgrade to my Ender 5 Plus. The resume feature doesn't work. How can I get the resume feature to work? Thanks
THE KEY HERE MOST WILL MISS ON THE TM3D SITE IS INSERT SD CARD INTO LCD PANEL NOT MAINBOARD!
Hello! Any idea how to upgrade CR10 Max? Scrolled all the way down and nothing there :)
Does tinymachines not offer firmware anymore ? their webpage has changed it seems, and after hours of searching i have an unassembled printer and a headache lol
Is it true this no longer works because of the screen on the newer model cr10s pro?
I have flashed tiny machines firmware on my Creality CR10s Pro and everything works great except for the measurement option, when i try to do the 25 point probing, at the first point hot end goes right to the edge of the build plate and proximity sensor is in the air at that time so probing procedure fails. I don't have BL touch, using inductive proximity sensor. Is there a way to fix this via the offset menus ?
I followed these instructions (updating to the latest B7 available from TinyMachines). Unfortunately, it has broken my ability to print via USB from Cura 4.1 (Using Creawesome). The printer still connects to my PC, as indicated by the jingle and the appearance of a new COM port in the device manager. I can connect via Pronterface, but my connection to Cura is gone. Any help?
Perhaps changing the baud rate for the machine config in Cura.
@@TeachingTech Thanks for the quick response! I had to change the baud rate on the port in order to get the firmware to correctly update, but don't see an option in Cura to change that value. I did however, just set the rate back to its original value, and now Cura can print to it once again, tho...there are other issues, the connectivity one is resolved for now. If you can point out that setting in Cura 4.1 (with creawesome) or if its a gcode command...I dunno.
does this apply to the cr-10s pro v2 aswell ? or should i use different files?
anywhere else to get the dwin file? ive tried multiple times and it just stays at preparing to download. it never downloads it. i even tried on my laptop and still nothing.
HI, I just upgraded my CR10s Pro to a CR10S pro V2 I add a BLtouch and firmware and screen update. I had trouble getting the machine to update but it is done. But now I have a new issue, the two cooling fans on the print head will not turn on. I have checked the settings in the new firmware, and have turned it on. the fans still will not work. Any ideas would be great. Am I still missing something? I upgraded using Tiny Machines kit and firmware.
Followed your steps and all went well but post upgrade my preset PLA preheat temps are 180 nozzle and 70 bed. Is there a way to change that? I want my pre-heat temps for PLA to be 200 nozzle and 50 bed.
Thanks for the video, however, I am having trouble with my update. I followed your instructions and uploaded the screen version (CR10SPro_Max_Ender5Plus_V2_Screen.7z) what I thought was the correct board version (CR10Pro_Stock_BIL_DW5.hex) but when I click on the Settings/Leveling screen I get a different version to what I am supposed to. It gives the five-point level check screen and none of those buttons work. My Machine is a stock standard CR-10S Pro with no firmware update since I purchased it in 12/2018. Just wondering if you have come across this.
hi guys, strangely enough i downloaded firmware upgrade from the link of creality website, and it was 1.60.8 and i flashed it. Now when i click the same link, it's 1.60.71... i'm guessing 1.60.71 is later version? does anyone know whats going on?
can you help with my issue please.. Got the firmware updated.. Tried to update screen and the dwin set says end with all 0000.. Meaning nothing chagned.. Using updated files from tm3d... much apppreciated!!
Thanks for the video - I've updated my printer to the Tinymachines CR-10S Pro firmware ( hex file.) I did run into a problem when I needed to add filament during the printing process. After adding the filament I was asked if I wished to continue printing or quit (screen 82_E_Refuel2.bmp). I selected "yes" to return to printing - but nothing happened. I pressed "yes" several times and waited as well. Still nothing. Wondering if you tested this - or have seen this before. Filament sensor tested ok. Also, pressing "no" also resulted in no action. I was required to power down the machine and start the print over. Note that the printer was maintaining the temperature fine.
I have downloaded and successfully compiled the source code from Creality - but would like the features and code corrections provided by Tinymachines. Tinymachines does not provide the source code. Thanks again for taking the time to review the product.
peter Howard sounds like a question that should be directed to TinyMachines.
Superb walk through and advice Michael.
I have the CR-10s Pro v2. I cannot get the the M600 filament change code to work with Cura. I an currently running stock everything. Could you make a video to solve this problem??? Thank you.
Hello. Xloader finishes updating with 0 bytes updated message. also cura is stucked at firmware upload pgress bar. promterface is OK with connecting and managing printer. any ideas? changed all baud rates and tried. firmware file is confirmed with tinymachines support. its CR10Pro_Stock_BIL_DW5.hex as of Feb.20
Perfect explanation. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the tutorial! Question for you if you see this. Recently my CR10spro went wonky and now has major later shifting on Y axis like it's over shooting front and back measurements, sometimes it's layer shifting only in one direction like stairs but other times it goes both ways 🤔maybe Y axis is biaxial 🤪 . I've checked all mechanics and everything is as it was since I've been printing for 13 months and boy have I been printing. Could this be a glitch in firmware? I figure electric motors are going to either work or not work . My belts are tight and teeth are fine. I had a weird episode of my flash card being deleted by the printer on the same day that the layer shifting started. That's why I wonder if it's a firmware/software glitch. Computers being stupid occasionally and requiring humans to reset them . Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have 10 rolls of filament waiting to print Christmas displays 🤣
Tried this and get a message saying the error with board, says it's not what you say to select. Not an easy thing to do as you suggest for someone not into computers and technology
i have a cr-10s i bought from a guy but i have not been able to use it because it come up MINTEMP ERROR i bought a new mother board and new hot end from the factory. i have checked the ohm for the thermistor and the other one beside it. everything checks out but i turned it on and then try to preheat the nozzel and as soon as it should kick on it goes right to the mintemp error. do you have any ideas on how to fit it please help .. i
