Choose the right firmware for your Creality and DDX setup from 625 different options
Below you will find guidance on how to locate the links to download firmware compressed archives that support using the DDX Direct Drive eXtruder on compatible Creality 3D printers, and extended firmware support to many other after-market upgrade options.
All machines with touchscreens require the installation of the touch screen DW firmware.
Do not update the firmware on your unit without updating the screen firmware as well.
Firmware for the Ender-6 is available since version 7.4.5
Preferably update the firmware only if you upgraded your thermistor and heater.

Important Notices
The absence of a shortcode in the firmware file name may only signal the feature is included in the stock versions. For instance the firmware file names related to the Creality models below, do not include the BLT shortcode, but the BL Touch is supported on the versions that do not include a bed levelling probe shortcode (eg. EZABL, 12MM).
- CR-10S Pro v2 - stock version supports the BL Touch
- CR-10 Max - stock version supports the BL Touch
- Ender-5 Plus - stock version supports the BL Touch
Before upgrading the firmware to a new version, upgrade the screen firmware to the latest version first.

Final Firmware Update Notes
- When printing via SD card, You may experience issues with longer file names as RAM usage is higher. We are aware of this but the current solution is to keep your file names under 8 characters. Also, do not use your SD card as a storage device. Instead, keep the files stored remotely and only add frequently printed files to the card.
- If the firmware version did not change, Initialize EEPROM manually through the Tools Menu (Settings>Tools). For example, DW7 updating to another variation of DW7 needs the EEPROM initialized. DW7 updating to DW7.1 does not as a version change will automatically clear the EEPROM.
- After updating the firmware please verify the Levelling Sensor XY Offset values set on your unit, against the recommended values in the following document :
Level Sensors OffSets for DDX
You can learn about the added User Interface screens and how to change the offset values here.
