How To Guide Creality Ender-3 S1 Troubleshoot
- Thread starter JANEFLANDERS01

1. The nozzle temperature display error
Solution: Check if the Extruder connection cable is properly connected.
2. PLA + first layer adhesion failure
Solution: Increase the temperature to 70 Celsius degrees or exchange the Soft black magnetic sticker with the Gold PEI Magnetic sticker, both will help to improve first layer adhesion. Note: PLA+ requires a hotbed temperate of 60 – 80 Celsius degrees.
3. Failed Prints – Not extruding enough + prints Zits and Blobs
Solution: 1. The extruder may be clogged. If this happens, check that the filament is clean and the spool is dust-free. If there is a lot of dust on the reel, it can block the extruder as it accumulates inside the nozzle. 2. Not extruding enough: Screw up the adjusting clamp a bit, try again after a bed leveling.
4. “It looks like the last File was interrupted …” – How to get rid of that?
Sometimes happens if my printer is connected to the PC. or maybe the gcode is not saved completely (check the gcode file if it still has End-gcode at the end).
5. Plowing after a good first layer
You’re too close to the bed. Layer 1 is epic, layers 2-4 suck, then pretty good from 5 onwards. The plastic pushes upward. When the next layer goes down, it doesn’t have enough space, so it happens again. Normally, this clears a few layers, and you get an elephant to foot. But it can keep going depending on you level of over extrusion.
In theory, every layer after the first should be perfect but that’s not usually how it is in reality. Imperfections in the v rollers frame not dead nuts square, lead screw backlash, etc, etc all make things less than perfect as it travels up the z-axis. That’s probably why you’re seeing plowing after a good first layer. Even with ABL, what you have to do sometimes when looking for perfection is to set the z offset for the first layer, then adjust a layer or two up to make things just right. That’s assuming all the stuff you initially set is set up well and not cause for concern.
6. Can’t get corners to stay down
Try slowing down your first layer some
Try reducing airflow and/or keeping the bed a bit warmer so the corners peel less
Try bed tramming

Can someone please help!!!! Ender 3 s1 stuck on creality screen ever since i tried to update it. Ive tried all the flashing stuff, i think, if ive done it right. Im new to the 3d print game and a lot of this Klipper/Marlin is like chinese to me. Can someone please helo me get this thing going again?

I don't have this printer but maybe the display firmware needs to be updated toCan someone please help!!!! Ender 3 s1 stuck on creality screen ever since i tried to update it.

hi, been using my new ender 3 s1 for a couple of weeks and all good, printed some things with petg and after a few hours it started jamming up, been messing around with it the last couple of days with some not really much success, i think it retracts and then gets stuck going back in, when it jams i pull out the filament and the length of it to where the step was where i think it jams is pretty much where the top of the threads of the nozzle would be, is there any way they can come out of alignment? tried dissasembling and reassembling with some filament inside so it would stay in line but still keeps jamming up

Hi, I can't seem to solve the first issue by checking only the connection. The connection seems fine on both ends. Any other suggestion? Could this be an issue of a faulty thermistor? Also, the printer's Z axis does not move when home or bed leveling is performed.
the onboard s1 screen isn’t kipper compatible. Once you flash to kipper the screen freezes and no longer works. This is normal. If you need a screen I suggest the sonic pad.Can someone please help!!!! Ender 3 s1 stuck on creality screen ever since i tried to update it.

MY S1 was printing fine now all of a sudden when I home or try to autolevel the z axis will not try to lower. I can manually raise or lower the axis, though. I have checked all the connections and nothing appears loose. I am getting a flashing ????? on the screen with the z axis.
What firmware are u using Marlin or klipper if clipper check printer.cfg for z axis settings
hello evryone , i'm having some issue with my Creality 3 ender S1 i have it for 1-2 month everithing was running smooth
but one day it started to have probleme like the one in the picture.
i have checked my level tramed my bed 100x time , made reset factory ,clenaed my bed ,my nozzle,tryed some other fillament , i checked that everthing is square and alligned
i even try to do my Gcode with : leachee , prusaslicer,crealityslicer,and cura
I don't know what to do now
