Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Official Dawnblade CR Touch Leveling by Creality by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy installation. Absolutely bad instructions.

Read this if you have a CR10. So let me make it easy for you because the guide will have you banging your head on the table. Assembly is easy. A 5 year old could. Firmware update yes here is a 411 about it. Download the latest firmware for your printer from the Creality website (creality.com/download). Connect the micro USB cable from the computer to the control box. In Device Manager, make sure you have a working USB connection and don't need a driver (correct if necessary). Make sure you are using a newer slicer (modified CURA 4.x which Creality can download from their website). Go to Slicer Settings > Printer > Manage Printers > Update Firmware (make sure your printer is selected in this list). There you have the option to update the firmware. Select the newly downloaded firmware that has BLTouch in the name (they are programmed the same in terms of controller). After the update, go back to Settings > Printer > Manage Printers and select Machine. Settings. Add "G29" just below where it says "G28". This will enable auto-alignment for your new GCode prints. It took me about an hour to find this online. I want someone to list or wait for this. Maybe Creality could just put everything in the instructions? The instructions are clearly written for an Ender or any other Creality printer that allows you to update firmware from an SD card. The CR10v3 I use does not. Nevertheless, the ability to update the firmware in the slicer clearly and easily makes it much easier to use. Oh, and the Z offset. Yes, that's really annoying. Mine wasn't easy. Another 30 minutes of online video and I finally got it. It took a lot of tumbles on the bed and downright panic on my part to get it, but here we are. Type like kings. This really is another good product with junk instructions. I would have already guessed that there is a group of people who are fluent in both English and Mandarin and able to give decent directions. I think that even at the beginning of the 21st century this is not yet a reality. But can it be in universe?
