In this video, I’ll show you how I installed the Creality Sonic Pad on my Cr-10 Smart Pro 3D printer. The Creality Sonic Pad is a powerful and versatile device that can control up to four printers at the same time, speed up printing while keeping the quality, and offer an intuitive and user-friendly interface using Klipper Firmware.
I decided to try the Sonic Pad because I had problems with the automatic level of the Cr-10 Smart Pro since the beginning. The compensation made one of the sides always be too close to the bed and the other side too far. I had it working with manual level for four months without problems, but I wanted to make my printer faster and try to fix the auto level problem.
In the video, you’ll see how I unboxed the Sonic Pad, connected it to the printer, started it and upgraded it to the latest version. Then I chose the printer model, flashed the firmware and connected via USB. After that, I started the initialization process, checking that the fans were working and tightening the bed level screws at max. I had installed silicone spacers but I had to replace them for the original springs because they didn’t have enough height to reach the lower part of the Z rods. After that, I calibrated the Z probe offset and the screws corners. Finally, the machine started the automatic level calibration.
After that, I could explore the interface of the Sonic Pad, which is very intuitive and easy to use. I made two prints to test it out. The first one was a first layer test to finally adjust the Z offset distance during the process. Then I printed two personalized keychains that I had to 3D Print for a commission. The results were stunning: the movement of the printer was smoother and faster than before.
Now I need to check some other things like a speed test, resonance calibration, PID tune, Creality Cloud synchronization, etc. Let me know in the comments what you think I should do next!
