By microswiss i mean this one :
https://store.micro-swiss.com/collections/creality-cr-10/products/all-metal-hotend-kit-for-cr-10
buy it from manufacturer to avoid clones.
0.5 nozzle is good. don't go lower than 0.4mm
CURA slicer is producing Gcode directly. you can modifiy it if you want.
it REALLY easy.
- take the stl file of the thing you want to print
- open CURA, import the stl file
- choose the parameter you want (speed, T°, bed T°, infil,....)
- clic slice
- save the gcodefile produceed.
that's it.
Changing the firmware is also very easy and and very quick. On the youtube channel i gave you, you have complete method to do it
example :

Your are cumulating lots of oproblems. - STOP printing at these T° with your stock printer ! As you have already done it, your bowden tube must be replaced. remove if and you
Catlord
Hi, Is your CR-10 stock or did you make some upgrade on it ? If it's stock, don't waste your time : XT-CF20 needs to be printed around 250 /260 °C and your bowden tube will start melting
Catlord
Ok lets begin then :) Stock mean you didn't make any upgrade on your printer. you didn't change the bowden tube by a quality one (like capricorn), you didn't change the hot end.

Your are cumulating lots of oproblems.
- STOP printing at these T° with your stock printer !
As you have already done it, your bowden tube must be replaced. remove if and you will see that the end part that touch the nozzle is in bad shape. cut this part (perpendicularly !)
I don't have a Cr-10 but an ultimaker original and an ender that is pretty the same as the CR10.
If you change the hotend, you will need :
- to make adjustement in the firmware (to reach 250/260°C)
- to run a PID tuning (use pronterface)
Why do you write your own Gcode ?
use Cura (it's free).
Print speed 25mm/s
low speed doens't mean you won't wear your nozzle ! And this ultra low speed will cause you other problems (filement is made to melt a little, with 2mm/sec, your filament stay TOOOO LONG in the nozzle !
stick: use a PEI Sheet.
I strongly advice you to watch these youtube channels :

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbgBDBrwsikmtoLqtpc59Bw
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Ak7Ir1WMOWauY_oH00-Qg (and look for LUKE'S manual for mounting ender3, preety the same for CR-10)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPFChjpOgkUqckj3378jt5w
in these channels you will find ALL THE ANSWERS you need to understand where you problems come from and how to solve it.
it will take you a long time by it's worse the effort 😉
My advice :
First you need to repair your printer: it's damaged as you have printed at a too high T° => cut your bowden tube (or better, buy a capricorn tube with the pliers that cuts perpendicularly)
run a few print with PLA at standard T° to check if everything is ok
you still want to print XT-CF 20 ?
=> buy a microswiss hotend
=> change the firmware ( look at teaching tech videos about it)
=> run a PID Tuning
=> proceed to ALL tunings (temperature tower, stringing, dimensionnal accuracy, extruder tuning,...)
Then you will have no trouble to print XT-CF20 filament.
Low grade ( and even high grade) 3D printers are NOT plug n' play unfortunatly. it requires a tons of tweaking and learning :/

Thank you so much. So by microswiss you mean sth like https://www.robolinkmarket.com/cr-10-j-head-hotend-v6-24v-50w-ender-3.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2vjuBRCqARIsAJL5a-L59h1CSSzq2046IMEvLFUGHJw8nnMpxuMBTzdDEQqsEf1r4JESfyAaAgekEALw_wcB
?
And, I use 0.5mm nozzle. Is it ok?
Why I use gcode? Since we cannot print some staffs with out gcode. It is an academic work actually
If we buy that hotend then changing firmware would be a really annoying task since this is an academic work and it might take too long to FINISH THIS WORK (so changing firmware is really necessary right?) Unfortunately, I have limited amount of time
