CR-10S Firmware Update Made Easy

Let’s install the firmware for a Creality CR-10S, with TH3D Unified Firmware Update, it’s so much easier!

For more information, drivers installation ect. Go to the TH3D website:

* After the upgrade, you should do:
LCD go to Control - Initialize EEPROM to clear out the EEPROM to defaults (New versions may automatically reset your EEPROM so please note your settings BEFORE flashing an update)

** You also need the U8glib library installed in Arduino Library manager for this to work.

Hi, I'm Frank my channel is all about 3D printing. I can't get enough of my 3D printer. I make everything and anything out of 3D filament (PLA, PETG and more). As I say a printer that is not printing is a missed opportunity.

I'll be doing electronics, mechanics, computer engineering, DIY, reviews and tutorials.

I update twice a week on Tuesday and Saturdays.

Since I'm old and forgetful, I have to keep referring back to this video every time I want to update firmware. It's the best, easiest tut on YouTube.
It's sad that out of 45K views you've only got 645 thumbs up. But I appreciate your vid!

You made this so clear and easy! I had few errors while compiling, but managed to fix them in a second. Flashing went flawlessly. I did unplug printer rom AC and only usb connected as read somewhere.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finding this probably saved me hours of pulling my hair out and throwing my hands up in frustration. TH3D has a how to video but makes no mention of the need to uncomment the model. Very helpful video and straight to the point!

keep getting this error. i have tried on two different computers. also the example file in no longer there with the cr10s

Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

fatal error: U8glib.h: No such file or directory

#include <U8glib.h>


compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega 2560.



This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

thank you so much, Ive spent almost all day trying to install this on my cr10s and you have saved me, now it finally works.

[Hotwire_RCTrix]

Thank you Frank, I looked high and low for this but somehow missed your tutorial until now. 😁👍

[chrisB_OG]

thank you for the video! should be 58k thumbs up!

[JASE]

Figured it all out just had to read the great comments ☺️

stil working in 2023? i have a problem with a CR-10S, the extrude motor doesn't work and i want to upgrade the firmware before try to change the base board.

[scivisbelgium]

Thanks a lot, you saved me !
Tried 2 times before through Octoprint with Marlin 1.1.9 and it would give me "Flashing failed" errors then the printer wouldn't work properly.
Worked like a charm with TH3D and a laptop PC.

After marlin firmware not worked fine on my CR-10 (bad print quality despite hours of adjustments ). this one is awesome and with installes bootloader it just take 3 mins to configure, thx frank!!!

[KavinayKishor]

Thank you Frank. I was really worried about bricking my machine but that was indeed pretty easy. Cheers!

[briant]

TY so much! you saved my CR10S from becoming a brick.

[wearetherandombros]

Thanks mate !! You saved me !! Just letting you know that it also works on CR20 pro. Direct connection to the PC no Arduino board and jumper wires needed.

[johnnicol]

Nice, simple and straight forward instructions. Merci.

Hi, I'm Andrea and after 3 years of inactivity I put my creality cr10s back into operation.
Reason for moving house.
I realized I still had the bltouch to assemble and today I assembled it.
Unfortunately I can't figure it out with the firmware.
Could you link me an updated firmware for my printer to mount with Arduino?
My card 3 a creality v2.1.
I thank you in advance

[Mgapcdev]

My first compile failed, but I recompiled and it was able to upload.

[ClownWhisper]

i can not connect to my cr10 v2 I have done ever fix on the internet 10 times and nothing works.
is there a way to update the firmware manually

[thefrieguy]

Confused about how to install the Arduino

[ecocharged]

I was able to flash the firmware successfully but now all I get is a blue screen on my display. I flashed it while it was powered up. Does that matter?
