UNLOCK your Creality CR-10 Smart From Creality Cloud and Print Directly From OctoPrint / PrusaSlicer @EmbraceMaking

Uploaded October 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

In this video I will show you how you can easily modify your Creality CR-10 Smart to make it even smarter and interface with OctoPrint or your favorite print host. Using OctoPrint and PrusaSlicer you can also slice, upload, and print in a few clicks by connecting PrusaSlicer to OctoPrint. I will take you through the setup step by step and you'll have it working in no time!

What you'll need:

► RaspberryPi and USB-C power adapter
► OctoPi software (can be found in the Raspberry Pi imaging app):
raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility
► 8GB MicroSD card... don't forget that you are no longer using the Creality Wifi board in the printer, so you can take that 8GB SD card and use it for your Pi. Free SD card, woo!
► MicroUSB cable to USB-A male

Optional:
► RaspberryPi Camera Module

This is a great alternative to Creality Cloud due to the app's limitations. You will now also have a G-code terminal where you can send custom G-code commands to check your firmware settings, modify them, and save them. You will now also be able to run PID auto tunes for any modifications you make to your machine.

This should unlock the full potential of your CR-10 Smart and improve your printing experience along with the flexibility of this capable printer.

$Creality Ender 7 Assembly, Setup, Slicer Settings, Review and First Prints! In this video I will be walking you through the setup and assembly of the Creality Ender 7 3D printer! I will provide you with tips and suggestions along the way that you will not find in the user manual, and also take you through my slicer settings to get you the best print results avoiding frustration! Thank you to Mech Solutions for providing me with this printer! If you havent yet purchased your Creality Ender 7, head over to: ► https://www.mechestore.com/ Also check out their Cloud3DPrint software for an amazing cloud based 3D printer host solution! ► https://www.cloud3dprint.com/ The Creality Ender 7 is marketed as a printer built for speed. Although this appears to be the case based on the CoreXY motion system, large XY stepper motors and drivers, and high flow rate hot end, it seems to fall short of the advertised 250mm/s print speed. And this is simply due to the fact that Creality has very conservative machine limit settings in the firmware. The printer simply cannot accelerate fast enough with those settings to cut down on print time for small prints. This can easily be changed and you can get the printer moving quite a bit faster without any further modifications out of the box. Overall, you can get very respectable print quality at ~80mm/s external perimeters, and 125mm/s speeds for internal features. This is still better than most other consumer grade printers on the market today. With a large enough print, you can get the print head moving up to 250mm/s and the extruder/hot end combination will keep up, but dont expect exceptional quality of your print surfaces at this speed. When attempting to run very high speeds and accelerations, I noticed that quality is lost on sharp corners (as one would expect) and the printer would greatly benefit from some advanced compensation techniques like linear / pressure advance. The Z motion system also leaves something to be desired as it is fully cantilevered and the free end of the bed support sags. The adjustment screws and knobs will allow you to properly level the print bed, but it is very evident that you have to unscrew the front knobs much more to compensate. The use of V-wheels on the cantilevered Z motion system was also a questionable design choice. Despite all of this, the printer still manages to make very nice prints and there are no Z artifacts surprisingly. In future videos I plan to address several of the Creality Ender 7 shortcomings. Namely, I have already designed and prototyped a 3 point linear rod and lead screw system for this printer to eliminate the bed sag and increase the lateral stability of the print bed. After that, I will be installing Klipper and trying to do a more advanced tune and control for this printer in hopes of achieving much higher speeds while maintaining quality. Perhaps a direct drive extruder and hot end are also in the works! Overall, the Creality Ender 7 is a well built machine with a lot of potential. There are some issues that need to be addressed but stick with me and we will get this printer flying!
