How do I set up my file for the Creality Hi?

Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Creality Hi and Hyper PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.

Which build plate should I use?

Hyper PLA sets a bed temperature for each plate:

  • Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
  • Smooth PEI plate: 60 °C
  • Cool plate: 60 °C
  • Engineering plate: 45 °C

Why is my PLA stringing?

Try 5 to 10 °C below the 220 °C that Hyper PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).

Where do these values come from?

From the profiles Creality Print ships, read at CrealityPrint v7.3.1 (254250c). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
