But as is normal with Creation Workshop, there’s probably going to be a bug.

It should work for the YHD-101, the KLD-LCD1260, or the Wanhao D7. This is a link to the machine configuration file that came with my YHD-101. On both my Windows 10 and Windows 7 laptops I didn’t need to, so I would expect for most people this will just work.Ĭreation Workshop properly configured for the YHD-101 should look like this. If you don’t have a com port, and the printer is connected by USB, you probably need to install the FTDI USB to Serial drivers. Make sure your printer is plugged into your computer by USB and click the “configure” button. This will open a configuration window with a drop down selector for ports, and if you only have one printer connected you’ll likely only see one com port to choose from, so pick that. Under the “Configure” tab of Creation Workshop, inside the “Configure Machine” pane, there is a “Machine Connection” box. The newer version of Creation Workshop can be hard to come by, so here is a courtesy copy. After v1.0.0.75 turned out to work I quit investigating. I have no idea why this would be the case. M106 didn’t turn on the light, moving or homing the z-axis did nothing, Creation Workshop was displaying images on the LCD correctly but that was about it. After I wrote Part 1 of this series the seller did message me on Aliexpress with a download link for the same files, so I did have them to work from.īut, as is pretty par for the course with Creation Workshop, it was buggy and you will need to do a little work to get it ready for use.įor some reason v1.0.0.54 absolutely refused to control the stepper or send usable g-code to my printer. Some people have received printers that include CDs or flash drives or an SD card in a reader containing a preconfigured copy of Creation Workshop v1.0.0.54 and the appropriate drivers for the controller board. Either way, though, the lucky day has arrived and I’ve organized my experiences and thoughts about actually using this printer to print. …or I’m just too busy to find more than an hour a day to tinker with this printer, and that makes for slow going. It has taken longer than intended to write my followup to Part 1 of my series on the printer of many names, but you just can’t rush quality like this. That’s Reims Cathedral at 30% of original size.
