Now, let's take the CR-10 SE Printing Parameter Settings step by step as follows

1. Slicing Settings

• Open the official slicer Creality Print version V4.3.8.6984 or higher version.
• Select the printer CR-10 SE.
• In the filament section at the top right of interface, choose "Generic filament"

• For printing with regular PLA, select "Generic-PLA"on the filament list.

• For printing with high-speed PLA, choose "Hyper-PLA" on the filament list.

• For printing with PLA-Wood, then choose "PLA-Wood" from the filament list.

2. Preparing for Printing

2.1 Cleaning the Build Plate

If the build plate has leftover materials or dirt, or is contaminated by sweat, use a spatula to gently scrape it off or wash the build plate with detergent and clean water.

If the glue is applied too thickly, or after multiple prints, please wash the build plate with clean water.

2.2 Ensuring Proper Adhesive Application

Use the correct glue stick as shown in the image below. Apply a thin layer of glue stick to the build plate.

2.3 Confirming the Need for Print Calibration

The print calibration includes automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection functions (Flow rate calibration/First layer detection functions are turned off by default).

If not selected, automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection will not be executed.

FAQs about Print Calibration

When must Print Calibration be selected?

• When switching filament different from the previous print, e.g., switching from PLA in the previous print to ABS (different bed temperature, leveling data differences).
• the machine has been moved.
• Just upgraded the firmware.

When is Print Calibration not required?

• When reprinting the same model that was previously successful.
• When printing a relatively small model, located at the center of the build plate.

4. CR-10 SE Recommended filament Parameters

Official Recommended filament Parameters Settings

Notes:

1. The maximum printing speed of the filament, as well as the printing temperature, is related to the characteristics of the filament. Please refer to the recommendations of the filament manufacturer and official slicing software configuration.

2. It is recommended to evenly apply solid glue to the print bed before printing to improve first layer adhesion.

3. For moisture-sensitive materials such as PA/PA-CF/TPU should be dried or stored in a dry environment before printing.

4. For non-official filament, please select generic filament parameters in the Creality Print software

5. It is recommended to use Creality official high-speed filaments to achieve better printing quality.
