Creality CR-6 SE

Also known as CR-6 SE (2020), CR-6 SE (2021)

Open firmwareImported

A free replacement firmware exists.

Klipper ships a config for this printer (config/printer-creality-cr6se-2020.cfg); its controller board is flashed with the Klipper firmware (MCU: STM32F103).

Get started

2 known ways to put open firmware or software on this device, easiest first. Each one links to the project's own instructions.

Before you start
  • Back up your data and settings (and the stock firmware, when the guide says how).
  • Check the exact model, hardware revision and firmware version against the guide: a close model may not work.
  • Charge the battery or use a stable power supply; do not unplug during the install.

Board-specific build and flashing steps are in the header of config/printer-creality-cr6se-2020.cfg. Going back needs the vendor's stock firmware file, when the vendor publishes it.

Most 32-bit boards install firmware.bin from the SD card; 8-bit boards are flashed over USB, and some ship without a bootloader (then an ISP programmer is needed). Going back needs the vendor's stock firmware file, when the vendor publishes it.
