Creality CR-6 issue list

This is an initiative to create an overview of the issues found with the Creality CR-6 SE.

As of this writing (2020-09-19) the large number of the motherboard issues have not been publicly acknowledged. Hopefully this overview forces Creality to acknowledge the issues with the Creality CR-6 SE leveling free 3d printer.

Update 2021-07-17 from Creality

According to Creality all issues should be resolved in the newer models:

Here are the improvements we did as below:

CR-6 post-unboxing checklist

With most of the CR-6 SE issues being due to bad wiring or loose/too tight screws I feel like it is time for a good post-unboxing checklist, to be walked through pre-assembly. Even though I do not have my unit shipped yet, I've seen enough issues and fixes that I can compile this post.

I initially posted this on the independent CR-6 community Facebook group but since not everyone wants to use Facebook (which I totally understand), I will repost it here. I mirrored most of the relevant content of Facebook to imgur.

If you have any feedback or anything that needs to be added, please let me know and I will amend this post!

Note: There are some known issues with this printer - please read the entire guide. (It is long, I know, but this is a necessary evil!)

Creating and Growing a Discord Server

Introduction

Hello! I'm jagrosh#4824! I'm writing this guide to try to help new server owners set up and grow their servers, which is a commonly-requested topic. It's very easy to go about this the wrong way, so it's best to be prepared and make smart decisions so that your community can flourish!

Background

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates
In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.
