Creality Print — import instructions
Download an OpenFilament filament user preset (.json) and import it with File → Import → Import Configs. Printer and process settings stay unchanged. Menu names follow Creality Print’s English UI.
Beta 6.x, 7.x · .json
Download for slicer — Creality Print
What OpenFilament exports
A Creality Print–style filament user wrapper JSON with string-array overrides and an inherits chain (Generic/HP base for your printer and nozzle).
- Filament vendor, type, colour, density, diameter
- Nozzle and bed temperatures (including first-layer where known)
- Flow ratio, pressure advance, max volumetric flow
- Cooling and retraction overrides when present
- Chamber temperature and shrinkage when present
- Provenance notes in filament_notes
It does not include printer firmware, a full printer preset, a process/print preset, sliced G-code, or RFID/CFS payloads.
Before you begin
- Creality Print 6.x or 7.x (Beta support)
- Add your printer in Creality Print first
- Select the matching nozzle diameter
- No OpenFilament account is required to download
- Optional: back up existing user presets (File → Export → Export Presets)
Download from OpenFilament
- Find the filament (Search / catalog).
- Open the colour / variant.
- Choose printer and nozzle.
- Pick a calibration profile.
- Open Download for slicer / Export and choose Creality Print.
- Create the download and save the .json file.
Import into Creality Print
- Open Creality Print.
- Choose File → Import → Import Configs.
- Select the downloaded OpenFilament .json file.
- Confirm if asked about existing presets.
Select the imported profile
- Open the filament list for your project.
- Find the user preset named like “Brand Product Colour @Creality … nozzle”.
- Confirm the active printer and nozzle match the profile.
- System presets remain separate from user presets.
Connect it to physical filament (CFS)
The imported preset lives in the slicer. CFS slot material identity is separate.
- Load or edit the CFS slot for the physical spool.
- Map the slot to the imported filament preset when Creality Print asks for a filament.
- RFID may identify material and colour; it does not contain the full OpenFilament calibration profile.
Verify the import
- Preset appears in the filament list
- Correct printer selected
- Correct nozzle diameter selected
- Temperatures match the OpenFilament profile
- Flow and max volumetric flow are present
- The sliced project uses the imported filament
Troubleshooting
- File rejected — confirm it is the OpenFilament .json user preset, not OpenFilamentProfile interchange JSON.
- Not visible — clear filters; check inherits base exists for your printer/nozzle.
- Wrong nozzle — re-export with the correct nozzle, or change nozzle in Creality Print then re-select the filament.
- Duplicate name — rename or delete the older user preset before re-importing.
- Old version — update to Creality Print 6.x/7.x.
Remove or replace the profile
Delete the user preset from Creality Print’s filament user list, or import a newer OpenFilament revision (prefer a distinct filename from a new download). Avoid keeping many near-duplicate revisions.
Known limitations
- Beta: structural tests pass; broader manual verification ongoing.
- Filament only — no printer/process export.
- Exotic materials may inherit a Generic base that is incomplete for that type.
