I still hate this POS - EDIT #3

I was really looking forward to doing something cool with this printer. It was really easy to put together which makes it easy to send it back or throw it in the trash. I printed half of one of the models that came with it. I had to manually adjust the Z offset because it just splattered the squiggly lines. Halfway through the print (at 4 hours) the print came off the bed but continued to print and was only dangling about 1/2 inch from the side. Then it moved again and tipped sideways with a large pile of straw. So I figured it was time to add the BLtouch sensor I bought to go with it. It was also very easy to attach. Of course you need to update the firmware. Thanks YouTube girls, I learned how to download firmware, configure settings and plug in the USB port. Of course, the USB port isn't recognized, so that doesn't help me. I contacted Creality customer service and they told me to update drivers and firmware. Which would be nice, except that this is the very problem that is preventing me from moving forward in life. It seems we haven't learned anything about setting up your VCR since we sent you the VHS tape of your VCR. Advanced Placement Log on to the Internet to find a solution to why you can't connect to the Internet. So for three days I tried every MicroUSB data cable I could find, tried every USB port on my computer, uploaded video connections and the best response I got was when they just stopped responding. officially my father was compared to the IBM PCjr. Update: For the past 3 weeks, Creality has been repeating the same "update firmware" suggestions over and over, which is exactly the problem I started with and the USB isn't working. Update #2: I finally got it working. It took me a month and I basically figured it out myself with the nerd community on the internet. Comgrow and Creality had many suggestions (often repeated) but now that I've loaded the Marlin firmware and adjusted the Z offset it seems to be working. I need to learn the settings because the first level looks like the top of a ding dong but I'm sure I can figure that out too.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
