7:35 thats awesome how the support comes clean out
Great review CR-6se! Definitely the best out of all the reviews that I have watched! Thanks for setting the bar!
Well, I had been on the fence for as while but after watching this I've decided to back this project. Thanks Joel
I've backed it and looking forward to getting my machine! Great review, thanks!
Great review. Sounds like your only gripe with the use of kickstarter, which I can agree with. Happy with that as I backed the project yesterday
Thanks Joel! Great video as always... After all my hassles with printing PETG on my CR-10 Mini over the past week, this is very, very, veeeeeeeeee... *deep breath* ... eeeeeery tempting.
love how informative and fun you make your videos Joel
Been waiting for this video. Kickstarting this and can't wait to get it.
Awesome video Joel!
You deserve more than 1 million Subscribers!!
Great review Joel, your reviews are always thorough and entertaining!
I have backed this after your first opening of it and video upload. thank you!
Thanks Joel!
Great review on this product and very helpful for someone looking in to making this printer his very first printer (like myself).
I did "pull the trigger" and back the printer, partly because of your feedback.
I share your excitement and partly your concerns as well.
I look forward to seeing you work with this machine, but also I look forward to using it myself. 😊
Take care!
High five! (From a safe distance)
Updates for us? How do you like it? Is all the rumors of the bad customer service / shipping true?
I backed it for 1 last night. Thanks for your in depth content on this printer.
I backed this machine early on, and I'm glad I did. I've got the E3P but this has everything I've been hoping for IMO. Best review of the CR 6-SE I've seen so far. New subscriber! Thank you!
Great video, Joel. I’m tempted. Well done on 400k subs. ✋
Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I was lucky to get the Flash Sale.
thanks, mate. gave me a lot to think about. definitely keen if you follow through on what you hinted at right at the end of the video.
I got mine in the mail today! So excited
One more thing i'd like to know when the printer pauses, either by clicking pause or by filament runout: does it dis-engage the stepper motors?
Every time i have paused a print on my ender 3, after i think something like 10 minutes, the motors dis-engage, which has allowed it to drop the gantry a little bit, enough to cause a collision when resuming the print, and if the part hasn't popped of due to the cold bed already, the nozzle smashing into it as travel speeds surely would
Your channel is just so awesome. You should have more subscribers. Just love your content, how you take time to explain things.
I bought a 6-SE at MicroCenter and honestly, i am so happy to have a solid and reliable printer where i can hit print and once the first couple layers start, i can do something else without worrying
As always Joel an awesome video! You always have me hooked, and your nerdy jokes I just can't help laughing at :-) top job buddy and thank you for your insight. I've also backed this so lets see what turns up eh :-)
You’re the best! Merry Christmas.
I love the hug each other, but high five from a safe distance. Great video and can't wait to see some testing with different build plates to get those ABS prints to stick. Can't wait to get my CR-6 when ever it arrives.
I've backed this, you get a lot of bang for your buck, and seeing these prints has made me very happy to keep my order!
True
There’s a chance you may not get it though
@@toyotatrd Creality is not a new company. Everybody will get their machines
@@toyotatrd Considering Creality is one of the most popular brands on the market with a solid reputation, and the printer is in preproduction already, it's a pretty solid bet you'll get your machine.
@@toyotatrd Creality has a great reputation and this will help them to communicate with their customer base. Needless to say we Kickstarter supporters are getting nothing but good news. I recommend you support it so you get it a bit cheaper and get a ton of benefits. :D
Also backed it with options. Great machine, no probs. Also got Prusa Mini. I prefer the Mini, but need a bigger build plate from time to time. Software design on the touchscreen is a bit clunky. These are my first two machines. I want to thank you and the rest of the TH-camrs in the 3D printing community for your contribution to getting me down the learning curve.
Thanks for this review. I am going to wait until the CR6 is officially released before picking one up.
You'll end up eating the (approximately) $100 difference. Considering the track record of Creality and their quality products, this KS isn't really a risk versus unproven companies.
@@halifornia2001 Too bad I missed it, I would love one or the max version. Guess I'll have to wait a long time.
The retail price will drop. It just depends how long it will take. If the Ender 3 had the same leveling sensor I'd but that.
andy parry how much is it?
Great video, all my hugs from Dublin :)
Socially distant hugs right back
Joel, thank you!! I backed it too and I'm already accumulating STLs to print.
*Shameless plug*
I have one you might find useful one day: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4133753
I made this to combat the problem he mentioned of the filament not feeding into the PTFE tube properly. On my Ender 3 I have to take the tube of everytime I want to change filamnts, no idea why. Maybe you find this useful, anyway thanks for reading and have fun printing.
This machine brings me so much joy. I don't have use of my thumbs and this machine just takes away a lot of the struggles i had with my other ones.
It does? I am seriously considering buying one... So please tell me more about your thoughts about it.
@@magnussamuelsson2630 Its a fantastic machine honestly. I've had it for around 6 weeks and can't fault it. I have no use of either of my thumbs and this machine takes away all the stress of gripping clips and things. It printed perfectly out of the box and still does now
@@nikkimoyle5220 How is that auto-leveling-thing doing? This is pretty much the reason why I am considering.
@@magnussamuelsson2630 its okay! not always the best and sometimes (rarely) i have to level twice but its still kicking! deff made a difference in my prints
Backed it, because of this video. Great features, good improvements over the Ender 3 that (I think) justifies the price difference. And with a 32-bit board (was a stretch goal that was met) it's just that much better.
thanks for always giving your honest opinion joel!
Great video. Your thoughts are spot on with my own.
Great, thorough review!
Of course your words matter Joel. Very keen on this new printer. Creality is going far. I like the clips. Looks like a promising machine.
Thanks Joel I did back it too. Reason: it seems as a neophyte to 3D printing this machine has a lot of new technology that when I have exhaustively studied all the 3D TH-camr it incorporates a majority their wish lists
Backed and Ordered mine !! Thanks for the review of it :) I don’t mind it being pre order service to be honest
Great video, if you were to purchase your first 3D printer what would be your choice between Anycubic mega x or Creality CR-6?
Fun review. Now if only I needed another 3d printer.
You always need another
Thanks great review. An idea when they will ship?
I have a heavily modified ender 3 and the prints from it are awesome. I am thinking about getting one of these to use it for a second printer.
Thanks for giving us a first look! I tried to purchase the Ender 3-Pro from Ali 3 times with no luck. My money is on hold and said they can't ship from China to US. Was reluctant but ended up backing the Kickstarter for CR-6. It looks like they're shipping from HK. First time on KS and never owned a printer. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Thank you!
They got hundreds at microcenter here in my town i was shocked! They also have the auto bed leveling accessorie
Looks like what I want as a second printer (have a CR10 now). But, I really don't want to fiddle with the whole Kickstarter silliness, just want to buy it. Great review!!!
While I don't agree with kickstarter as preorder / promo by a large company, the prints are super clean. 0.15 on the clearance test is not easy to achieve!!! Crazy how far along bowden ooze control has come in the last few years.
That’s just it. That 0.15 clearance test pass was done with default slicer settings. How cool is that?
Will you review it too?
Great content in all your videos, I really like your style and your presentations! But I can't find any unboxing / review on Creality Ender-3 Pro. Is it something I have missed or do you plan to make some video on that 3d printer? :-)
Great point about the morphing of KS! I've been active with KS campaigns from almost day 1, and have been burned by a couple. Presenting almost complete products gives backers a heckuva lot more confidence that they will actually see a product in the end, so I have no problem with KS as a "pre-order" system. In fact, I kind of prefer it.
As an owner of a Ender 3 Pro, which I bought with the glass bed as an extra option, this kinda feels like an Ender 3 with all the most popular upgrades from the community.. That said, I can't judge the hot end, sensors and electronics of course. On top of that, I can hardly imagine a Creality printer would disappoint. Informative video as usual, thanks Joel.
Heard you were in, hard times mean I am going to wait, love the content though. Maybe the give away will come my way. Thanks for all you do.
Well, its a year later and i have two of them. Yes there are those machines. I love the cr6
Great review, thanks! I do hope they leave the build plate on during paused prints, that needs to happen.
I actually wish (and I'm sure there will be a hack for it later) there was a way for an audible alarm to sound, as well. Even if they just have a normally-open connection get closed by the runout sensor so I can connect a buzzer or whatever..
I don't care too much about ABS not sticking, I've never printed with it, and between warping and fumes, I'm not really interested.
The flexi was a pretty amazing fail, but I wasn't expecting a bowden to print flexi super great anyway. I actually have only used direct drive on my Anet A6, so I'm not well-versed on the bowden style. (How do you continue a run-out on bowden, anyway? Does new filament just force the other through the tube reliably and contiguously?)
I think the kickstarter price is a good deal and it looks like it's going to be worth it.
it has to change gap ( reduce gap between nozzle and bed) because there is a retraction between nozzle and bed
Re: ABS
I wonder if the open frame has anything to do with it? Otherwise yeah, PEI should do the trick, or maybe hairspray/ABS Gloop on bare glass. I have not tried ABS juice yet, it's on my bucket list. I'm assuming the filament was bone dry when you tried it.
Thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Joel, very nicely done and a great selection of prints to show of. People who can exercise some patience (we live in a I-want-it-now society) will be rewarded with a very good printer (in its class) for a lower price.
Hey Joel really curious to know if you got your hands on the new Ender 3 v2 and if not is there plans to test one out and do a review?
Great video! I'm a newbie to 3D printer and this is gonna be my first, excited about it! I've already read quite a lot on 3D printers and printing. Have You thought about trying the non-planar 3D printing?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Rasmus-Richard Marjapuu I have been printing for about 9 months on an ender 3 and I have funded this on Kickstarter as well. I have not tried it yet but I have been planning to. Teaching tech did a video on it btw
I really love the little timestamp things!
I know there’s tons of Ender and CR10 channels out there (hopefully they continue with the CR6 as well) but I’m excited to see Joel jump in more on this and maybe potentially make some getting started or tips and tricks in his style when the CR6 ships!
Thanks Joel, really appreciate your review!
A year later, trying to get back into 3D printing, I bought this machine. So far, it's worked great with Creality filament, although it has been a real challenge to get prints to release. With my ancient previously opened filament, I've not been able to get it to stick prints. I've got two more ancient but never-removed-from-the packaging filaments to try. Wish me luck...
got mine for 299 haha so hyped for it!
The trick to using the Creality glass build surface (on my Ender 3 Pro) for ABS is to coat it with ABS dissolved in acetone. It sticks very will. I turn off the fan and heat the bed to 100C, nozzle temp (+-)220C . I've used it quite a bit. I need an enclosure to print large ABS prints. I get layer separation at about 3/4" tall. I have two separate glass surfaces, one for PLA, cleaned with alcohol and the other for ABS with the coating above.
Thanks for your video. Do you think that the CR-6 SE is a more precise printer compared to Creality3D CR-5 Pro ?
I am actually considering it even though I just got my Ender 3 Pro a few months ago
Same here
Same here very happy with my Ender 3 Pro, great printer for the price. So I pre-ordered it I was going to wait, but I knew I would end up buying so it makes sense to get it while its cheaper. This 6E has features I wish the Pro had. Now I will have 2 printers, am I Official a farm now? LOL.
I picked one of these up used in a package deal with a Prusa Mk2. I'm pleasantly surprised it's actually a great little printer.
Thanks for the review @3DPrintingNerd!......Any opinions between CR6SE vs Anycubic Mega X?
Btw you seem to print a lot of...ribbed things
i hear you on the flexible build plate but i have a (i think) similar bed on my cr10- v2 - i have come from a flashforge printer with a flexible build plate and while i loved that i found the usual problems of prints not sticking... with that i had to use a glue stick and a raft every time to get it to work. granted, as soon as the print was done i could remove the build plate, bend it and get the print off but...the build plate on the cr-10 which i think is the same one as this is fantastic, i use isopropyl to clean the bed and as long as i have levelled it propperly it sticks straight away and my first layer is beautiful. once the print is finished and the bed cools the print literally pops off so i dont need a flexible bed anyway. took me a while to get used to it but i love it now.
10:14
Is that secret the Maker's Muse logo that you show printing in the next clip?
what slicer did u use and what are ur settings. that support came out beautifully!
Hey Joel can you post some print times for the models that you printed. I feel like speeds are not talked about enough when doing printer reviews.
I got this and it has no prefab on the following SD card. I love the design.
I'm new (this year) to 3D printing. Could you do a video on the technology differences are between the Ender 6 and CR-6 SE? I love my Ender 5 pro, but I"m already drooling over the new features of the 6's... but they both seem to have cool technology the other doesn't. Like if I want the direct XY drive I can't get the auto bed level, etc. Love your show!
I backed it weeks ago good to see reviews coming out. Glad i backed it hopefully they atleast hit the 3000000 million mark would love to have the upgrade. I currently have an Ender 3 Pro and love it but this has all the upgrade i wish i had but i also want a second printer. I was wondering that if you back the kickstater would we be getting the 32 bit board or is that still up in the air? I hope to see more reviews about what this thing can do it seems alot more capable than a stock Ender even with a few add-ons and the fact that the fan seems to be blowing right at the nozzle or a little lower is awesome and the light looks nice too. Wish they would have made it a white light but Im sure i can solder a white led on it instead of blue.
On your flexible filament test was that the only try you have done? We are looking to replace our method of making photopolymer stamps for our pottery. We currently us an Imagepac XL pro and it's a pain in the butt to work with. We were hoping something like this printer would work for making flexible stamps with decent detail and let us make all sorts of other cool stuff.
On the vase, was it water tight?
The flexible filament is filaflex from recreus, a Spanish company. The website was on the spool. They also make some less flexible ones that are easier to print on a bowden setup
Lets just hope 3 million dollars is enough money for this “project”
There's a lot of boardgame companies, COMPANIES, that use Kickstarter as a "pre-order" system. Not just indie folks. So Kickstarter has evolved, or at least, companies are using it for things like this. Thank you for that look at the machine!!
Are we going to be able to upgrade with a second cooling fan? I heard someone else complain about that and it seems to be a big oversight
A pre-order system....maybe...except that with kickstarter you don't have any warranty, you receive a prototype.... and kickstarter is not a store. no refund, no warraty if you are not plenty satisfied.
Anyway, a really good video as always, nice catapult !
Hello. Great review thanks. I am wondering if some of the success in the great print results is due to the filiment you used because other reviewers didn't get the excellent results you did. Can you use the same filiment in an ender 3 and show us the results? I have an ender 3 that I put an SRK mini v1.2 board in and I would like to see if I can get the same results using that filiment. Again thanks.
You sold me on it, I backed it. Looking forward to seeing it.
It came yesterday, I set it up this morning, very easy install. Gonna have to tune it for my slicer or fire up simplify 3D.
Hello Sir, what would be the best Creality printer to make models cars, model cars models, chassis etc ? Thank you for your Chanel !
ok Joel, I have 2 questions, why didn't you use new filament on this machine? and secondly did you only use the Creality slicer included with the machine?
Would you recommend this printer if I plan on printing a lot of TPU material?
Subscribed because of the high ground reference.
Time to geek out!
I ordered mine the first day. Shipping seems high, but does look like a great machine. I agree that the kickstarter is more like an advertising ploy, but seems to have worked.
Shipping on the site is listed k
in HK, about $20 USD.
Very interested in getting this only there are 2 things in the way:
1. debating on whether to buy a prusa mini or one of these
2. Not entirely interested in backing in it on kickstarter so I may have to wait.
In the same exact position, but I don't do kickstarters and the mini has 4 months lead time. So I'm going to wait after summer... I already have an ender 3 after all.
Hi Joel,
Which one you suggest for beginner who is skilled in 3D modelling ,Ender 3pro or cr6se
thats a super cool shirt! Where did you get it??
My main worry is all of these high profile reviewers being sent the best printers, and the build quality varying heavily once production happens. As much as I love my CR-10, it's taken a lot of work to get it to a state where it's reliable, with plenty of aftermarket parts, and the build plate that came with it wasn't even usable due to warping. I'm hopeful that the production units will be as polished as the review units, but I'll have to wait until some of these are in the field before I decide to throw down the money.
they have send me BROKEN hardware that I had to fix. heck my cr6 SE stopping working live on stream (grubs came lose on the drive gear in the feeder) let me tell you it was no fun getting that spring back in.
Most of these established companies can't be bothered to try and "cherry pick" units for people.
@@nerys71 Aren't the review units made using rapid techniques such as 3D printed parts where final would be injection molded?
@@johndododoe1411 some were but mine came with all injection molded parts
in 2020 it was on kick starter but not in 2022. on amazon 569 Can . I am analysing if i will buy this model seems interresting to me. would be my first 3D printer. after looking at so many models,
why does Creality not add thos bars like on the cr 10 v 3 on all those models that place the filament roll on top? It would make the hole printer more rigid and stable no?
Between this and the Prusa MK 3, as a new user just getting ready to jump into the 3-D world, what would you recommend? Looking for a top of line machine, that’s going to be “relevant” for years to come.
Perfect timing.... I can still cancel so I will watch!
Chilling with an ender 3
Same
@@michaelplaczek9385 Same (the pro though), its amazing with Cura, best entry level 3d printer to this day, perfect to learn along with upgrades etc. as well.
Makes sense if you've already got one. I needed to replace my FDM, and this makes sense vs the Ender 3 (less hassle, better features), and the KS price point is decent.
I’m stuck deciding between backing this vs an Ender 3 pro for $200. Any thoughts?
@@AndrewCislak I run an ender 3 pro and with the right profile (Cura) you can get absolutely perfect prints with common materials. The only problem I ever ran into is the fact that you kinda need to replace the extruder feeding part with a metal kit (10-15$, its super easy to install) because the stock one might break. Id say that if you dont want to print fancy materials like PC, the ender 3 pro is a steal of a deal at 200$. If you have the money and know that you will stick with 3d printing, the CR6 might still be worth it. However, if you want the abality to have access to the largest community that has the same printer and the most mods, the ender 3 right now is the best in this regard. Modding support for the CR6 will likely be large too within a short while as the printers arent too different I think.
Over all, if the difference in price seems like its worth it to you (auto leveling is kinda cool to be honest, especially if you are a beginner) for the many quality and quality of life improvements, go for the CR6. If you are not sure you will stick to the hobby or your budget is a bit tighter, better get an ender 3 (with the metal extruder kit would be best, it really is super easy and cheap). The leftover 80$ is enough to pay for 2-3 rolls of filament or any further upgrades you might want down the line.
Final note: Please use Cura, nkt Creality Slicer. I conducted a small test and Creality Slicer is pretty good, but Cura has so so many more options and results in visibly better prints. Also, Cura has the former mod called Creawsome integrated into its Creality profiles. This mod is basically an almost perfect profile in every regard, its absolutely amazing.
Pardon the eventual typo, Im on mobile and english isnt my first language.
I was too late to back on KS ... but hey ... those last few seconds of your video were very interesting :-)
Hi, would you recommend this over a Prusa Mini? I don't care for the Build-Volume, nor the touchscreen.
im new to 3d printing. Is a flexible build plate better than a glass one?
I think that if we can't print correctly Flexible, because Flexible has a lot of retraction. it has to have the possibility to change offset reduced the gap between the nozzle and the heating bed on autolevelling. It 's the same for PETG). Is there the possibility to choose gap between nozzle and heating bed for autolevelling?
I love that machine. But I thought they said it had special cameras or something? It could be ended 6 that is coming out?
