![]() ![]() On the other hand, my supplier sent me a protocol to check the Micro_USB plug of the CR-6-SE. Having contacted Creality (cs no answer so far from the Creality technical department! …. There are some reports of damage caused by electrical shorts on the CR-6-SE printer’s USB connections, but they are quite rare.įor my CR-6-SE printer, the tape solution (above) does not work regarding data transfer. The menus of the CR-6-SE do not allow to read and correct the E.Step/mm value.īelow in 3 steps how I was able to calibrate my extruder of my printer.ġ) The control of the micro USB plug of the CR-6-SE printer: To calibrate the CR-6-SE printer, a USB connection must be used and an application that to read and transmit data to the printer’s internal memory (EEPROM). Just remove the tape and put it on the right place and it will work again What happens if you do it wrong?ĭon’t worry – the worst that can happen is that you can’t connect to your printer anymore because you covered the wrong pin(s).
