  • Pressure Advance settings
 

Edit Filament Information

For non-Creality RFID filaments or filaments without RFID tags, manual configuration is supported.

You can manually enter and modify filament information, including material type, color, and print parameters.

 
 
 

Feed and Retract Filament

CFS Settings

Click the Settings button to access CFS settings.

Available options include:

  • Automatic filament information reading
  • Automatic filament feeding
  • Other CFS-related preferences
 
 

Automatic Refill

When Auto Feeding System is enabled, CFS can automatically continue printing using another spool with matching filament settings when the current spool runs out.

To view available backup spools:

  1. Click the AUTO button.
  2. Review the detected spools that are eligible for automatic switching.

For automatic refill to work correctly, the backup spool must have the same filament parameters as the active spool.

 
 

Humidity Display

The humidity indicator displays the current humidity level inside the CFS.

Click the humidity value to view detailed humidity status information and recommended humidity ranges.

 

Multiple CFS units Display

When multiple CFS units are connected, they will be displayed on the right side of the interface.

Click a specific CFS unit to switch between devices and view its corresponding filament information.

To use Auto Mapping:

  1. Select the connected printer as the current device.
  2. In the Filament section, click Auto Mapping.
  3. Creality Print will automatically map detected filaments to the corresponding filament presets.
