Creality Cloud - 3D Printing

I’m a hobbyist printer that wanted to be able to transfer gcodes to my ender3v2 wirelessly. I found that the creality Wi-Fi box was one the cheapest and simplest ways. They came along way since it first came out and the first reviews of it that had a lot of failures. I’ve been running it over 2months now and haven’t had a failure from the box. I use cura to do all my slicing and love the add-in to upload directly to the cloud. There still are issues with the gcode settings that it shows when looking at slices uploaded but these do not transfer into the prints, so what you upload prints as uploaded. Things I would like to see added or fixed would be the following: 1. The pause function when set in gcode to actually pause. As of now it runs through the pause command and then resumes immediately after the offset of the nozzle has been achieved. 2. When the print finishes it cycles the print to the front then to the back before it stops so the print sets at the back instead of the front.

This app has made huge strides from when I first logged in and since has improved so much. They offered a firmware update for my Halot one and it all seems to work so perfectly now I have a hard time considering a printer from another company. If you had previously tried there slicing software and this app and ran away wondering if you made the right choice well the answer is you did and should give it another try. The social community and your feedback is essential to the future of this program. Also the software rewards you in coins for basic things that you’ll all ready be doing on a daily basis while you learn about your printer and how to become successful at printing. You can even sell your scans and other ideas through this app. In my experience you can’t get much closer to a complete ecosystem of images cloud storage, slicing and printing from any other company. You can even trade your coins for a new printer or printing supplies. How about a new home pod to listen to your favorite music while you print. Well that’s all possible with this app. Oh yeah, I love my Halot one printer too. This company is really great and I didn’t get a coin for saying this either. 🫶

I love being able to control my printer on the go, and the newly implemented camera feature is pretty stable in my experience with it. One thing to note is that when I want to swap filament, I use the program to have the hotend at my temperature, then I have to manually pull the filament out because there is no extruder option in the move screen, and I haven’t been able to find one yet. So I’d‘ve liked to have the option of controlling my extruder motor from the move screen. Otherwise, my only other complaint so far is that there doesn’t seem to be an option to pause your print in the splicer at a certain layer. You just have to watch what layer the print is on and pause it yourself, which I could see as being a problem for people who want to embed stuff like magnets or electronics, or for people who want to switch filaments at a specific layer. This was a feature on the Creality splicer provided with my ender 3, and I’d love to see it implemented here soon, maybe I overlooked the option somewhere, but I wasn’t able to find it in the splicer options. Overall, I am not disappointed in the app, or the Creality cloud box I had to order for my printer, aside from those two requests, and my Camera cutting out occasionally, but that seems to have been fixed in the most recent stability patch.
