Creality Print 5.0.0 Release Notes

We are delighted to announce that the brand new version 5.0 has been released officially, with all upgrades aimed at improving user experience.
Firstly, with a new user interface and interaction experience, the process settings system has become simpler, and the slicer has become more user-friendly and intelligent. The K series/v3 high-speed machines now support 42 kinds of official filaments and general parameters. We have not only readjusted the machine process parameters, but all parameters can be saved and exported for sharing.
Moreover, through our ongoing efforts, version 5.0 has faster printing speed and better printing quality.Now let's see together what other surprises there.

1. Key Improvements

1.1 Revolutionary User Experience

Comprehensive Upgrade of UI

  • With the upgrading of the company's Corporate Identity (VI) system to version 5.0, we have rolled out a fully revamped UI system. A brand-new logo, theme color, icons, and page layout will be introduced to provide users with a fresh visual experience.

  • We adjusted the UI layout after the upgrade according to mainstream visual habits: we repositioned the toolbar and prioritized the process setting systems. This made the operation interface clearer, not only reducing the operation steps for settings, but also greatly enhancing the smoothness of the user experience.

Printing Becomes a Piece of Cake

  • After extensive model testing and parameter adjustment, we have developed several configurations for different machines and nozzle types. You can conveniently select an appropriate configuration for one-click printing. For instance, we offer four configurations for the K1C-0.4 nozzle.
  • We constantly monitor the processing status of the model to minimize any factors that could negatively affect print quality. Should there be any issues, our user interface will promptly provide friendly cues in the bottom-left corner, assisting users in promptly identifying and resolving the issue to minimize any potential losses.

  • The variety of settings often causes confusion. For this reason, we have selected a set of commonly used parameters as the basic settings, enabling you to quickly adjust common parameters and diminish the impact of unnecessary information.

  • 5.0 Version introduces a wealth of diagrams for parameters, illustrating complex parameters in an intuitive way. Along with these diagrams and elaborate descriptions, you can quickly understand the meaning of each parameter.

More Efficient Process Tuning

  • Indeed, we also accommodate more extensive parameter configurations. Simply switch to the advanced settings mode to access comprehensive parameter information, facilitating broad and meticulous adjustment.

Normal

Advance

  • Evidently, the valid range of parameters is closely associated with various factors such as the types of consumables and the device model. This often makes it challenging for users to accurately judge the validity of settings. To address this issue, we have established a suitable range for each parameter and provided a color-coded input box. This allows users to easily determine the status of parameters while making changes.

  • Previewing slices has now become WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get. We now support real-time parameter modifications during previews, enabling you to rapidly observe the effects of your adjustments.

More Convenient Professional Settings

  • We not only support global settings but also offer flexible and detailed solutions. When printing multiple models in the same job, you can use object settings to apply individual parameters to each model. Each model is sliced with the parameters that suit it best, effectively enhancing the print quality and efficiency.

  • Supports the comparison of different types of machines, materials, and process parameters. By using this feature, you can thoroughly compare the differences,to find out the key parameters affecting quality, providing guidance on the optimal direction for your printing tasks.

1.2 Settings Configuration Upgrade

  • Upgrade Of Default Parameter Configuration
    Creality Print provides an array of tested and official print configurations, encompassing aspects like printers, filaments, and process settings. These configurations, verified through extensive testing, are designed to guarantee successful printing in the majority of cases, and simultaneously meet essential printing needs.

A noteworthy update in the brand new 5.0 version is that we've upgraded and made great efforts to the printing configurations, with the aim of enhancing your printing experience. For instance, when printing the model in the following model on the same printer,using the default process settings of 0.2mm Standard process parameters, the print quality in version 5.0 is noticeably superior to that in version 4.3.8.

(5.0)                        (4.3.8)

  • Upgrade Of User Preset Configuration
    Simplify your printing process by creating custom slicing parameter presets for regular use according to your distinct print demands and habits, such as settings for other filaments. You can base these on official configurations, and save them to Creality Print, or export them as a Zip for reuse or sharing with friends.

The noteworthy aspect is the 5.0 version's compatibility with other slicer software exported user presets, such as Prusa and Orca. This allows for a variety of configurations from different software.
Furthermore, you can share and exchange your parameter configurations using 3mf project files. As a universal third-party standard file, 3mf offers richer and more accurate data descriptions compared to other formats. When using 3mf project files, not only printers, filaments, process settings, but also your databank for support coatings, Z-Seam drawing data, adaptive layer heights, etc., can be seamlessly used across multiple software platforms.

1.3 Efficient Multi-Plates Management

In the past, when printing splicing structural models, we had to manually group a large number of models on a print plate and store them in multiple files for printing. This process was somewhat cumbersome, prone to error, and very time-consuming. Now, with multi-plates management, you can consolidate all the parts need to be printed in one file to increase convenience and operation efficiency in classifying models, making it easy to handle the printing tasks of multiple models.
primary functions:

  • Supports regular operations of the plate, such as adding/removing/selecting/customizing names/locking, etc.;
  • Supports automatic layout and orientation of the current tray model, and you can also manually drag to adjust;

  • Supports saving the plates to 3MF and CXPRJ files for easy subsequent editing;
  • Supports quick switching between different trays to perform slicing, previewing, and printing.

2. Performance and Quality

2.1 Faster Printing Speed

The printing speed of the model is influenced by not only the hardware but also the slicing algorithm optimization. Thanks to algorithm improvements in version 5.0, a very apparent enhancement of printing speed, ranging potentially between 20% and 50%, though the exact percentage would vary based on model structure and printing process.
There are two key factors contributing to these speed improvements.
First, efforts have been made to greatly increase the speed of certain types of lines, specifically the inner and outer walls, while still ensuring printing quality. As the graphic shows below, version 5.0 presents a visibly higher speed (indicated by color) for the lines of the inner and outer walls on each level compared with the previous versions.

(Printing Time of 5.0:7h 24m 24s)

(Printing Time of 4.3.8:9h 4m 15s)

Next, we have improved the continuity of 3D-printing paths and attempted to follow the shortest routes in the printings. Below you will see the printing pathways of both the old and new versions in the same layer. You may intuitively find that the path planning in the...
