Nice video again. Always nice to hear your opinion on multiple printers in one go! The "ghosting" effect of the CR-10 S5 can be dimmed / gotten rid of, by tweaking the "jerk" settings in the firmware. I have put them on 1/8 th of the original setting in the configuration.h file and quality has gone up significantly. Print time estimation of S3D however, is no longer accurate and the printer takes approx. 1.3 times longer to print. But still, as I see it, a 500x500x500 mm printer should not be build in the i3 kind of frame / mechanics. Moving such a large platform can't win it from the "moving-the-printhead-only" approach and all kind of inertia artifacts start to get introduced into the prints. But ... the CR-10 S5 still is one of my favorites too! Much bang for your buck! Thanks and best regards for 2018!
1st thing I though was the jerk settings. I've yet to mess with mine on my CR-10. I use Simplify 3-d. Where do we change jerk settings, at the control box interface or some sort of firmware reprogramming? My ghosting is killing me.
See reprap.org/wiki/G-code. It can be done with M205 using the console of S3D or Repetier / Slic3r etc. You might have to use M501 to read and M500 to store parameters in the eeprom afterwards (or else put the M205 command into the start script), but I don't know if the jerk settings are in the set of parameters that get stored into eeprom this way, so I decided to do it directly in the CONFIGURATION.H file of the firmware.
Looking at things and thinking it through, it probably is the jerk of the machine. As the nozzle is drawing, the jerk in from the porthole edge, and then oscillates several times on the hull after. Longer bars, larger frame means more mass, but lowered total stiffness due to the greater leverage against itself. At first I was thinking orient the prints different ways and work out which axis and what is oscillating. But just looking back at the larger frame, you can see it easily. Go to around 16:40 and look at the frame. The Z axis is 2040, so stiff in the X direction, but looks like it's still only 20mm thick in the Y direction. Larger Z axis frame, working against basically the same Z axis to side frame braces. And looking at the video he just carried the printer by the Z axis frames not supported from below, the braces might even be a little loose even being gentle with it.. The front and back braces to the top corners to stiffen this part of the frame should eliminate most of the problem mechanically without adjusting settings. One of the early mods I will be doing to my regular size CR-10, it's obvious they're a good idea just looking at the frame, and even more so on the larger version.

I think you did a great job and the individual sample prints nailed it for me. You can talk all day about variations in the prints but the details were in the different printers creations.Saved me hours on model search, technical abilities and limitations, cost, pros/cons, visual machine accuracy.
That mGiraffe 3D Printer is insane! Why didn't these things exist 10 years ago :( The whole Makeblock system is like meccano on steroids so you could probably mod the crap out of it too super easy.
Awesome review! I can’t imagine the time it took to do and edit. Thanks for doing this, just now starting to think I need one so went looking for reviews and this covers them all!!
Let me start by saying I appreciate the "actual" info instead of the usual Top 10 style videos with horrible background music and robot voices. I am looking at buying my first 3d printer, would love to build one but probably wont have time, I would like to have a printer that prints ABS, TPU, and Nylon well. Not really sure on budget yet, I am currently using/learning DesignSpark Mechanical and would like recommendations on a printer with at least 300x300x300 and an easy to learn slicing software Thanks and keep up the awesome content
i have an ender 3, it has only 220x220 build volume tho, and it works with cura 3.5.1/3.6 i dont know if its a problem with my printer settings, but for some reason cura 3.6 heats the bed, then the nozzle which takes longer, and 3.5.1 heats both at the same time, but 3.6 has gyroid infill
Honestly i didnt know what a delta was until watching a few of your videos, now i bought a FLSUN QQS pro and enjoying it so far :) Keep up the great videos mate
I've put 200 hours on my Anycubic X and so far up to 230c head temp and 75c bed temp no burn outs. Have not put all metal head in yet..... Great review!
Awesome video, thanks. I'm having an Ultimaker 2, CR-10 and CR-10s. Recently I got an Anet A8 just because I wanted to build a printer from scratch. The first print, after my build was complete, blew my mind. The results are stunning as you show in the video. Good results do not require expensive printers. Looking forward for the slicer settings.
i watched parts of this when you first put it out, and tonight i'm researching for a larger printer. you look tired, and that was a lot of work, so i thank you so much. i'm now leaning towards the CR10S and away from the Tronxy X5S series. i don't usually comment, but i love all your videos, thanks again!
Simon, you're awesome. What a great review piece. Very comprehensive. Extremely professional. All the while with your wonderful presence and personality shining through. Well done sire. Keep up the great work.
I was literally applying for jobs on LinkedIn and an add for 3d printers came up so instead of following the add I went to youtube. Now 2 hours later I feel prepared to purchase a 3d printer I can't afford lol.
It was very informative to see the number of hours of experience you have with each machine. I wish more reviewers would do that. I like that you have actual informed opinions and you expressed them clearly without wasting any time. Now, if I can look forward to a review of an Ender 2 from you, I'll be more prepared to make a purchase decision in the next few months.
Hi simon, I love the channel surely it is time to do a rereview of the anycubic i3 mega, as now you can get it for less than €200 !! Also how about the anycubic chiron ????
Man you make excellent videos. Informative, entertaining, amusing, and fast paced. You are a TH-cam Monster. I am in the market for a 3DP and I guess I'm still waiting for you to say "This one is perfect, buy it now!" Keep up the good work!
Yet another great video in the bag! Kudos on all your success. The editing is so fine tuned I found myself unable to use shortcuts and jump around for fear of missing out on crucial info about the 3-D printing experience which I seek. Also the jokes and funny edits are short, to the point, and don't detract from the video. I appreciate the comedy in your videos in what could otherwise be a dry subject. I wish much continued success for your future.
As always, you have such a great Quality Video, and still convey the info I need. Keep it up! I do have one suggestion though, your RC videos seem to be getting a lot of success, so what if you tried to completely 3D print a massive working Drone or a massive RC-Style Car?! :) I believe that you have enough 3d printers that if you used them all at once, you would be able to do it in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you! (Please like so Simon can see this)
the TEVO tornado has more features and upgrades than the CR10, I would recommend the Tornado for that reason, and that the Tornado has a cool looking color scheme. just go with my advice.
I like your enthusiasm. A couple of Days ago, I made the purchase of, the CR-10S. I can't wait for it to arrive. It will be my first 3D printer. Love your vid's keep 'em coming.
hey boss i've just been running through some 3d printing videos and this is by-far the most informative video that i've come across. Wishing you many more views. Definitely worth the 23 minutes for all the knowledge and know how. CHEERS!
Great video, especially for someone just getting into the 3D printer scene. I like how much time you put into making the video really easy to navigate. Something as simple as putting links to which times are reviewing which printers in the comments is a small thing that goes a long way for me. Not to mention that in the comments you put a quick version of your opinions in case someone was still undecided. Great video, great channel, subscribed.
That was a very good round up of some very affordable printers. Thanks. Been looking to buy a 3d printer for some time but very hard to compare from different sources. Definitely like the last three you showed, the 10s being my favourite.
Awesome dude. but.... can someone post the actual settings values he posted for simplfy 3d so I can use them in Cura? (particularly the A8 and the CR-10)
The one thing about showing 3d prints is that even they can be fine tuned when you see what issue each one is having. For example if one printer has loose lines it might be something as simple as tightening the belts to create a better quality print, or even a different slicer. I love the vids man! I just hope people realize that all printers can be tuned and eventually print identical looking parts. It's a mixture of love and time with each one)
@@vaggosantalis8326 I ordered a tornado, then canceled when I found out it would be a month before they could even ship it. Since it was coming from china, it would be at least another two weeks (or more) in shipping times. Aint nobody got time for dat.
Great MASSIVE review, I've never seen that many different 3D printers in one place in my life! Thank you for your hard work and effort! It wasn't just very informative and educational, but I also enjoyed the occasional interjected humor, very refreshing! Keep up the great work!
If you have a a 3d printer that you don't use i would really want it, i live in kosovo I don't think it's to far from where you live 😉 if you could make a video for useful 3d prints it would be nice 👍
Love to see the A8 get some props. I added one to my classroom and it has been great. The learning that can occur while building and working with it is awesome. Great Video!
Just wanted to leave a comment thanking you for the video! really helped me decide. ordered the tevo tornado as my first foray into 3-D printing! without this video I probably would have never known which one to get!
Excellent video! The boat print comparison was a great final touch and really helped make matters more clear in choosing! Thank you for making this review.
Upgrade tip: If you pick a somewhat bigger and thicker sheet of glas that overlaps the heat bed, there's no real issue in printing up to 250x250 in X and Y direction on the A8. Only the locking latch of the heat bed's connector required grinding a little dent into the lower side of the glass, which is bog standard window glass, no borosilicate. Be careful to not get pretensioned glass, that will shatter on the first scratch, though. Just make sure the glass isn't too thin, some 5 to 6mm will do very well. The sheet of 250x250x5 I got cost 3 quid at my local glazier's. Works a treat. To be on the safe side, preheat the heat bed before the print fore maybe 5 minutes, and bob's your auntie. I check it with my infrared thermometer. Once the glass surface has the set temperature, I start the print. I only used it with PLA so far, but with it, I had no issue whatsoever.
Great to see a quality rundown of so many 3d printers in one video; makes it a lot easier as someone who's considering buying a printer to see how they compare. That can be difficult watching individual reviews of fifteen printers by as many different youtubers. Also, where's that awesome compilation music from?
I just bought my first 3d printer, an anet a8 and after some hardware tweaks and some better quality filament, I am getting some very nice prints. I appreciate, very much your comparisons. A tremendous aid.
Currently printing witha cr-10s5 and it has been running non stop for 2 months with no issues. the build volume is HUGE, and it takes a long time to warm up the print bed, i usually set the heat to 70 degrees and leave it for 30 minutes to fully warm the full bed before printing at a 60 degree bed temp. Much better adhesion that way.
Awesome video as always I would like to see more deeper reviews on the printers you haven’t done yet And more important to do a review after long useage of those printers That’s would be awesome!! Thanks so much!
Still totally relevant. My CR10S caught on fire and I use it for work so I was going to check out other choices ... but ALL the main review sites just try to push top dollar machines exclusively for no functional benefit. After your comparative review I decided to just pick up another CR10S and use the old one for parts. Just going to swap out the 12V MOSFET heater for a 120V SSRelay. Keep the fact based reports coming!
Hey man thanks for this video! I have a tarantula and a prusa and now im looking for a 3rd printer with bigger volum. This video was super interesting and helpful... Now I'm looking at the CR's because this video, great job!
Dayum, son! Nice mega review. Been searching for a review about the Snapmaker.. thanks for giving the initial reaction about it, and am wanting to hear more :)
Thanks for the video and all the work you did to make it. Excellent job. I get asked all the time about which 3D printer people should buy. I'll be sending people to this video, for sure. Love your channel not just for the 3D printing but your RC stuff as well. Thumbs Up.
Nice video!! I really enjoyed it. :) Even though I like your other videos where you were out of the studio these are my favorite. Especially when you compare printers (including the Tevo Tarantula, which I own as well). Keep rocking, Simon!!

Can you post your cura settings for the CR-10? or if you've already done that and I'm being dumb, can u point me to it?
Thanks for the very good overview. Did you stop the times of the prints?
Please do a 2019 version of this or a updated version, I am looking to buy one but am having difficulties finding good ones ? Btw Love ur channel bro

@ 3:40 - 3:47, had me chuckling so hard almost didn't survive the rest of the video.
I seriously went down and looked through the comments to see if anyone else found that as funny as I did hahahaha
I thought he was going to build on his comment after "it wouldn't survive" but the fact that he didn't cracked me up even more 😂
Thanks for the review. Just bought the Creality CR-10S. Can't wait to try it out.

incredible video, great job guy. i knew nothing about 3d printers before this video.
where are the setting for the a8? you said in the vid you where going to link them in the des
Missing them too :/
ya
Thijs RC he said he’s posting them tomorrow
Does the Dropbox work for you
Thanks very much for the comparison! So hard to choose a printer just by reading specifications.
Was planning to get the tornado but now I am not sure if it is better than the cr - 10 , what do you guys think?
the TEVO tornado has more features and upgrades than the CR10, I would recommend the Tornado for that reason, and that the Tornado has a cool looking color scheme.
just go with my advice.
G. S. If you want one I can get the best price.
I would go with the Tornado.
And about that artefact thing, is it really bad? Couldn't really see in the video because of my shitty cellphone screen...
G. S. I just like the cr-10 much more. I can get you a coupon core on gearbest for 330 if you want it.
Great video. The only thing I miss is a speed comparison

Yuck
Because you are going through puberty?
Lots of work to put this together. Many thanks for taking all that time. Loved it!
Thumbs up!!!

Awesome dude. but.... can someone post the actual settings values he posted for simplfy 3d so I can use them in Cura? (particularly the A8 and the CR-10)
You can open the file, it is a XML file readable by any text editor. I have the cR-10 and can help you with any values you might not know.
Fair enough - ended up buying S3d and haven't looked back!
Great channel Simon love to see the RC stuff besides the printers here. Always pleasure to watch you keep uploading. Thumbs up!
"Lets get started!" ? seems like u watched to much Makers Muse :D
Ninja Turtle hahah
"Lets get started!" is by (Great Scott) ;)
thats a pretty common phrase.. also i dotn like makers muse, nothing against him just his videos dont seemt o work well for me
I certainly didn't make it up :P And everyone has their preferred style. Happy Printing!
The one thing about showing 3d prints is that even they can be fine tuned when you see what issue each one is having. For example if one printer has loose lines it might be something as simple as tightening the belts to create a better quality print, or even a different slicer. I love the vids man! I just hope people realize that all printers can be tuned and eventually print identical looking parts. It's a mixture of love and time with each one)
You should do a head to head review of the CR-10 and the Tevo tornado. I am trying to figure out which one I should buy.
Darian Jensen Did you decide to choose one of them?
@@vaggosantalis8326 I ordered a tornado, then canceled when I found out it would be a month before they could even ship it. Since it was coming from china, it would be at least another two weeks (or more) in shipping times. Aint nobody got time for dat.

I don't approve of this! 2018 has just started...
It's clickbait and only chinese crap...
Yes it's clickbait and chinese, but it's not crap. Some printers are crap, but most of them are pretty good
mhh, ye.. some of them are Ok...
I have been wanting 3D printer for Christmas, and this has helped me decide what kind to get. Thank you!
If you have a a 3d printer that you don't use i would really want it, i live in kosovo I don't think it's to far from where you live 😉 if you could make a video for useful 3d prints it would be nice 👍
Etro just get one from me. I can get any printer for super cheap.
Freeloader alert
About the useful 3d print video, he make one or two this year. Try looking them up in the search bar.
I lnow that i wanted more because they are cool
FILIPPOS KYPRIOTIS yeah , this comment that i did feels pretty dumb but i gave it a try
An incredible review. My God I wish more reviews gave as much clear comparison and expertise as this. Top Marks. Subscribed !!!
Love to see the A8 get some props. I added one to my classroom and it has been great. The learning that can occur while building and working with it is awesome. Great Video!
Just wanted to leave a comment thanking you for the video! really helped me decide. ordered the tevo tornado as my first foray into 3-D printing! without this video I probably would have never known which one to get!
Thank you for all the work in this video, this year I want to get into 3D printing and now I know I'll get the CR-10S.
You've outdone yourself Simon! Thanks for the presentation!
Thank you for such a comprehensive comparison. You give me the info to help make a more informed decision on buying and building my first 3D printer.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Snapmaker with us! Look forward to the full review!
The comparisons were phenomenal; excellent job!
I really appreciate this video, I have a 3D printer and was looking to maybe buy another to get more experience and this video really helped, thanks.
Upgrade tip: If you pick a somewhat bigger and thicker sheet of glas that overlaps the heat bed, there's no real issue in printing up to 250x250 in X and Y direction on the A8. Only the locking latch of the heat bed's connector required grinding a little dent into the lower side of the glass, which is bog standard window glass, no borosilicate. Be careful to not get pretensioned glass, that will shatter on the first scratch, though. Just make sure the glass isn't too thin, some 5 to 6mm will do very well. The sheet of 250x250x5 I got cost 3 quid at my local glazier's. Works a treat. To be on the safe side, preheat the heat bed before the print fore maybe 5 minutes, and bob's your auntie. I check it with my infrared thermometer. Once the glass surface has the set temperature, I start the print. I only used it with PLA so far, but with it, I had no issue whatsoever.
Just ordered the cr10s on Hobbyking. €315 with 2kg of filament ain't a bad deal. Thanks for these amazing videos.
Thank you for a very clear and precise comparison of many printers. Cheers!
Thanks for putting the time in great high level comparisons!
This for me answered so many questions...what an excellent video that must have taken hours to make.
Big thumbs up.
I just ordered the Anet A8 because of this video!!!
nice comparison! Thanks and greetings from Germany
Great to see a quality rundown of so many 3d printers in one video; makes it a lot easier as someone who's considering buying a printer to see how they compare. That can be difficult watching individual reviews of fifteen printers by as many different youtubers. Also, where's that awesome compilation music from?
We found your video more informative than multiple other videos. Thx for your hard work!
I just bought my first 3d printer, an anet a8 and after some hardware tweaks and some better quality filament, I am getting some very nice prints. I appreciate, very much your comparisons. A tremendous aid.
Amazing video as always Simon! Nice to see the TT still holding up
Currently printing witha cr-10s5 and it has been running non stop for 2 months with no issues. the build volume is HUGE, and it takes a long time to warm up the print bed, i usually set the heat to 70 degrees and leave it for 30 minutes to fully warm the full bed before printing at a 60 degree bed temp. Much better adhesion that way.
Nuts! U’ve done an exceptional job putting this video together. Thumbs up! 👍🏻💯
Awesome video as always
I would like to see more deeper reviews on the printers you haven’t done yet
And more important to do a review after long useage of those printers
That’s would be awesome!!
Thanks so much!
Excellent reviews and choices of printers, I am a newbie to this world and going to be a hobbyist printer and this video really helped.
Still totally relevant. My CR10S caught on fire and I use it for work so I was going to check out other choices ... but ALL the main review sites just try to push top dollar machines exclusively for no functional benefit. After your comparative review I decided to just pick up another CR10S and use the old one for parts. Just going to swap out the 12V MOSFET heater for a 120V SSRelay. Keep the fact based reports coming!
Thanks for the Anet A8 profile sir!
Great review and rundown of all the different printers, thanks!
Wow thanks for this video . I can imagine how long it took . Very well done thank you
Thanks a lot for this video. Very objective without any jibberjabber, great help to form an idea to what printer to get.
Awesome work on the video.
Must of taken hours but great info.
All the best Simon
Hey man thanks for this video! I have a tarantula and a prusa and now im looking for a 3rd printer with bigger volum. This video was super interesting and helpful... Now I'm looking at the CR's because this video, great job!
Dayum, son! Nice mega review. Been searching for a review about the Snapmaker.. thanks for giving the initial reaction about it, and am wanting to hear more :)
Thanks for reviewing, I'm buying CR10S , is on sale near my home
you got the TEVO tornado! great printer. I got it for Christmas and got an almost perfect 1st print out of it. no complaints.
also that is the most 3d printers I have seen in one spot...... like EVER
xD
where do you store them?
Thanks for the video and all the work you did to make it. Excellent job.
I get asked all the time about which 3D printer people should buy. I'll be sending people to this video, for sure.
Love your channel not just for the 3D printing but your RC stuff as well. Thumbs Up.
Glad i found you, you’re an awesome youtuber. Thanks for making boring stuff interesting and useful
Wow! The snap maker would be really good for custom PCB jobs.
Nice video!! I really enjoyed it. :) Even though I like your other videos where you were out of the studio these are my favorite. Especially when you compare printers (including the Tevo Tarantula, which I own as well). Keep rocking, Simon!!
Thank you very much for this video. I am wanting to get into 3D printing. This has a lot of info on each printer and very good comparisons. Fantastic!
very nice comparison, thank you
