Step 2: Install the Software

Once the download is complete, follow the installation guide to install the software.

Step 3 : First Time Opening the Software

Select Printer

In the software, select your printer model and nozzle diameter. For K2Plus, the default nozzle diameter is 0.4mm.

Step 4: First Print

Open the .3MF File

Click on the File dropdown menu and select "Open Project" to open a .3MF project file with color information.

 

You can obtain the .3MF file from here:Creality Multi-color Models

After opening the file, you can adjust the print settings as needed.
The .3MF file usually contains printer, material, and process parameters, but these may not be fully compatible with your printer or materials, so appropriate adjustments are necessary.

Printer Settings

If the printer in the project file is different from the one you are using, you can change it via the dropdown menu.

Filament Settings

Select the filament used by your current printer from the dropdown list.

 

Process Settings

In most cases, the process parameters in the .3MF file can be used directly. If adjustments are needed, you can modify them in the "Process Parameters" section on the right side. You can adjust five sections: "Quality," "Strength," "Speed," "Support," and "Other."

Slicing

Click the "Slice Plate" button in the bottom right corner of Creality Print to generate the .gcode file required for your printer.

After slicing, the software will automatically switch to "Preview" mode, allowing you to visually check the sliced model. At the same time, the chart on the left will display the estimated print time, filament weight, etc.

Filament Mapping

When printing with CFS, the filament used in the project file may not exactly match the filament available on your printer. When sending a print job, the system will automatically match the colors and filament types (such as PLA, ABS, PC, etc.) from the project file with the filament in CFS.
In most cases, no manual adjustment is necessary. However, if you need to manually modify the filament mapping, you can follow the steps below:
