Materials
Material settings:
PLA 60C Hotbed, 200C Nozzle, for long narrow prints use 65-70C Hotbed temp
ABS 100C Hotbed, 240C Nozzle, ensure no drafts during print
Warping on long models:
Set to 60 to 65 degree and im am cooling it down after first layer by 3-8 degree to 57°). Also tried reduce the temperature from the bed to 50-55 but Amazon Basic PLA (which is known for bed layer adhesion…) don't seem to stick well with this setting.
I reduced the fan speed and i enable the fan at layer 3 instead of 2 (also read that some people start fan at layer 5). This seems to work for now….
In general i would suggest to reduce bed heat as much as possible and maybe reduce the z-offset so that the first layer is literally pressed onto the bed. (Attention to not scratch your build plate) - (Check with first layer calibration prints which z-offset is the minimum to still have a nice first layer)
Webcam holder
Note that the standard webcam/tripod/camera mount screw is 1/4-20 UNC = 6.35mm with 20 thread size. An M5/M6 screw does NOT fit.

The instructions are quite bad, so here are a couple pointers:
- It doesn't matter which LED power plug goes into the switch on the right hand side
- To screw it in, remove the blind plastic pieces at the top of the Z Axis
- for cable routing use the same path as the filament sensor cable. The blind snaps off and back on:

About 1-2mm of overhang from the original connector needs to be removed to prevent the connector from catching the Z Axis motor.

Cura and Klipper/Sonic Pad
https://www.creality.com/pages/download-creality-sonic-pad
https://all3dp.com/2/cura-klipper-tutorial/
- disable coasting in cura (interferes with klipper's pressure advance)
- disable acceleration control and jerk control in speed settings tab
- set Cura’s retraction distance to 0.75 or 0.8 mm
Addons from marketplace:
arc welder
moonraker connection
- Install and restart cura
- Go to “Settings > Printer > Manage Printer” and select “Connect Moonraker”.
- Now configure the URL for your Klipper-Moonraker instance using the IP address including port i.e. http://192.168.1.16:7125
- Optionally add the identifiers of any powered devices you’ve configured in Klipper (e.g. LED lights), and add a camera URL if installed.
- Choose to upload G-code or UFP files. Configuration settings are saved when this window is closed.
After slicing a model, the usual file save options will now include the prompt “Upload to <Printername>” that pops up a window where you can change file names and set other details. It’s as simple as that!
