This is a great improvement over the CR-10S Pro. The deficiencies are still in software, but the hardware upgrades are great.
Very useful, thanks for making this video ! Going to buy one of those
I have one and I love it. It’s the first printer I’ve ever owned. I have nothing to compare to, but I have very little failures.
Just bought one and having a cr-10 from 2016 it’s nice having one so updated with everything you’ll want. May get a sonic pad and try clipper on it to get a little more speed out of it.
got this printer, like you said, very quiet, works perfect with TPU... but for the life of me, when printing PLA, cant get the horizontal nice and crisp... always have these little fuzzy coming off the surface... i have 3 CR10 smart and they are running exceptionally well out of the box.
Would love to see how this one holds up over time. It looks well made and like you said, already has all the things we would do to it already pre-installed. Not bad.
Same here and it will go into my print farm and we will see how long it holds up .
@@GomeowCreations How has it been?
old trick I learned (Navy brat so moved about 50 times), to remove those stickers from items that mar (that you cannot use a scraper on) is to get a soft artists gum eraser and it will remove (turn the stick-um into crumbly balls) it, be careful with the opening for the SD card but it should work (pencil eraser will work too).
Well thanks that is some helpful info for sure 😁👍
So this would be my first printer and I am trying to see if it’s worth the money. $700 is an expensive price tag but with the upgrades and the a bigger build volume just seeing if you would recommend this. Or would the 3S1 be better I just don’t like that it doesn’t have an all metal version on the Sprite Extruder. Thank you again and great review
Nice video , after all the videos I have watched on other CR models this seem to be my answer. Thanks for the information
No problem. I have the CR-10 V1 and V2 and this printer honestly blows them both out of the water.
Hey!
I’m just wondering what settings you used on cura?
Thanks for your Insight. Got mine yesterday....so far no problems. Capable of printing very fine details in comparison to my Anycubic i3 Mega wich i had for Years, a nice Upgrade i think. And no Mods needed😉
That is good to hear and yeah I haven't had any problems with it yet. And I feel the same way about upgrades on it, non are needed. 😁👍
which 3d printer would you recommend as the first 3d printer? for hobbies.
New firmware came out yesterday and has transformed the printer especially with nozzle height adjustment fir different filaments.
Good to know. I will have to update it and check it out one I'm don't with the prints I'm doing 😁👍 thanks for that info
AGAIN a noob question, but it doesn't go nearly so smoothly when it's your first printer, and there isn't many sources of step by step instruction, and EVERYTHING I can find is for the Smart, NOT the Smart PRO. For example, I've been all over Creality's site, and CAN NOT find a firmware update for THIS printer. I find the one for the Smart, but NOT for the Smart PRO. Please point me to a link where I can get this printers updates. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the review, I think it's the first one. I ordered this printer in December, I hope it won't take long for it to be shipped
No problem and I'm surprised that it's the first review 😅 well let me know what you think of it once you get it.
excellent presentation, thanks!
Thanks
What kind of computer do you have that helps you make theses I need a computer but I don’t know which one to buy
Will the auto bed leveling happen every time I start a print or can I choose when it happens?. Some context: I need to print a single object with two different colours by printing in two passes (first pass is lettering 0.2 mm high) , which means I leave the first print on the bed and then start a new print with z hop to hop over the first print and fill in the gaps. I'm worried auto bed leveling will crash into my first print.
This looks like a decent printer. And as an owner of the original CR-10 Smart that makes me absolutely livid. The original Smart has a major design flaw of absolutely no manual leveling. Which many of us criticised Creality for. And lo and behold they added manual leveling to this one and are getting us to pay for the privilege. And charging more. And still selling the Smart which is a defective model that is not fit for purpose.
Hello, greetings from Argentina, I'm asking you. I have problems with the pause to change filament when I do it from the slicer. After pausing, it doesn't continue printing. If I pause from the screen, it goes to one side, wait and when I press again. The pause button continues printing, what could it be?
Great job perfect video.
Thanks
Got mine, the screen could be more responsive, sometime it takes 2-3 touch to select something, despite hearing beep every time. Creality cloud is buggy, won't detect my SD card, so it won't record video. Also the UI can be improved.
But, aside from that, it's super easy to use and the print quality is really good
I don't disagree with that at all haha. I don't use the Creality cloud at all so I don't know much about it 😅
@@GomeowCreations that is the comment I was looking for. I wanted to be able to directly use this printer without the cloud if I purchased it. Thank you.
Great video. I did not feel there was any bias. I do have one question , I only need to print PP and some PPSU if I put this printer in a heated enclosure would this printer be a good choice ? can you recommend a better choice in the under $1000 price range ?
I don't know much about those materials to be honest. According to the paper work I have with this printer the hotend can get up to 300c but I haven't tried to get it that high yet.
Hi, great video! I got this same printer and did all the leveling but noticed I still had to set a Z offset of -2.00 to get the print head to be on the bed. Yours was similar in that you showed -1.70 at the 7:46 mark. Do you know why this is needed? Shouldn't the bed leveling make the "0" mark where no offset is required? I'm kind of new to the 3d printing though I've had one for awhile. Thanks!
The offset will always be a thing. All of my printers have a negative offset and they are all different as well.
The 0 mark is the stop in the auto bed leveling sensor and this is always higher that the nozzle. You have to set that offset to your liking and what is doing to work for that printer and that material you are using. You might get it to print fine using pla and switch to abs and things will be off. Abs prints at a higher temp so the bed and nozzle might expand just a little more so you will have to fine tune things a bit. I hope that helps.
@@GomeowCreations Thanks very much! I'm still learning but at least I'm getting decent prints now. Seeing your video helped to assure me I wasn't crazy or doing something wrong having to use the offset like that. Keep up the good work!
Not with the CR Touch (or BL touch on machines that have that). You have to adjust for the difference between the touch point and nozzle touch point. My Ender 3 V2 is 1.10 offset
Yeah, this is my current problem. I finally got something to print, even with a screwed up first layer, and I'm using an offset of -2.23!!! I would think that once manually leveling the bed and then running the auto bl, it would fix the height and make an offset unneeded. So while hearing this helps to at least let me know I'm not as screwed up as I thought I was with it. But -2.23 is still a bigger offset than the others mentioned here. Why do the manual if the probe is going to ignore it???
i just got mine , super impressed with it. quick question , when the print ends the build plate goes backwards instead of forward. i tried a lot of things with the ending G code with no luck. did your printer has the same issue ?
I don't remember to be honest. Did you run any firmware updates on it yet?
I got this printer a few weeks ago and I use Cura slicer. I have to manually adjust the print speed in the printer because it doesn’t seem to use Cura speed settings. It is always at 100 and also the cooling fan would not turn on until I manually turn it on myself on the touch screen. Do you have the same issues?
Great video btw
Sadly I haven had this problem so I don't know why it would be doing that.
Years ago we upgraded direct drive printers to Bowden setups 😂 to me seeing “direct drive” as an upgrade is foreign
Great video, thanks a Lot.
Finally there's a review for that printer.
Really like the new Ender 3 S1 but it's building volume is to small for me.
So this one seems perfect.
(But after the CR 10 Smart "desaster" I'm cautious)
Yeah I know what you mean with the CR10 smart and it's problems. I was honestly worried about that when they contacted me about this printer. Really didn't want to deal will a lot of problems but wanted to see if it was any better and if it wasn't I was going to still make a video about it.
Like I said in this video I have other printers that I have upgraded, mostly ender3s and cr-10s. This came out of the box with everything I wanted and setup was super easy. I'm going to be adding this to my print farm and if anything off happens with it I will be sure to make an update video.
Question for you. This is going to be my next printer and I am building a shelf for it. With the bed pushed all the way back, how long is the printer from front to back?
Basically? What is the minimum size table (front to back) I can use if the table is going to be against a wall?
So if you have a wall behind it it needs to be about 29in due to the rear cable
@@GomeowCreations thank you! Looks like I am going to need a bigger table!
Also, I tried ordering using your link. Are they out of stock everywhere? Do you have any other sources to get one?
Can you share the .STL file for the Onyx print you made in the video please?
does the new direct drive end pass the test? I noticed it was fairly enclosed, what do you do if something goes wrong?
I don't know what you mean by "the test" and it does look enclosed but it also looks like you can get it all apart to fix a jam or replace a part if needed
Was waiting for Miss Piggy to appear lol
Hi. Does the all metal Sprite hotend use standard creality nozzles or is it something new? I want to use a 0.6mm nozzle
I believe it has the same standard Creality nozzles.
best site to buy one?
Awrsome review, Is sonic pad good with it?
Thanks and honestly I don't know because I don't have one to try on it 😅
Did you use creality slicer or something else? I've had this 3d printer for a while and I still can't calibrate it and I have various printing problems that I can't solve. A video on how to set up a good slicer for this 3D printer would be useful.
I just used the Creality Slicer for everything in this video. I used the stock settings for pla and had no real problems that I can remember. What problems are you having?
Sorry for the question, I'm new to 3D printing. Does this printer need to be leveled every time I print, or does the leveling stay calibrated?
It stays level for the most part. If you pick up the printer and move it to a new location you might want the run the auto level. If you change out the material you you might need to change the z offset.
@@GomeowCreations Thank you so much for your answer!
No problem
I hope there is a way to convert a CR-10 Smart to a pro specially the bed leveling knob
my cr-10 smart is working some what fine and got lucky its working properly
Honestly I don't know much about the older cr-10 smart other than a lot of people had problems with it leveling.
it took 30 minutes to print the Onix spike?? is it just me or does that seem really long for that small piece. is this a fairly slow print speed printer?
I honestly don't remember but I think I might have had it's at some very small layer heights on accident. This isn't the fastest printer in the world but it's also not that slow. 😁👍
Can you attach a octoprint to it or is it not possible unless rerouting wires like on the smart?
I don't know for sure to be honest. I have the board layout diagram if you would like to see it just send me an email
@@GomeowCreations Would it be possible for you to hook up a octopi to it to test?
I've hooked mine up to Octo print by re-routing the internal USB connection from the Creality cloud which is useless.
@@ipodsync you do not need to do that on the cr10 smart pro it has 2 usbs 1 for "smart webcam" 1 for octopi
@@viktorlundstrom780 I tried using the USB-C connection on the side, but found the connection to be unreliable. Once I disconnected the Creality Cloud board, it's been stable.
Any update on the use of the printer? I am looking to buy it as my first 3D Printer and I just want to hear confirmation that this is a good printer
I've been using it a lot since I got it and using it for basically production work I've had no problems with it so far and I would recommend it as a first time printer.
@@GomeowCreations Wow! That's great news! I have to say I really appreciate your quick response! You just earned yourself a new subscriber! Thanks for your help 🙂
One last question. So I am comparing this to the Ender 3 S1 Pro (agree not an ideal comparison given different build volumes) but I know the S1 Pro can also print wood... can this one print wood too?
Wood, like wood filled PLA? If so just about any printer can do that. They do have problems clogging with 0.4mm nozzles but you can do it. I used a 0.6mm nozzle in the past to print with it and had no problems.
@GomeowCreations Yes, Wood Filled PLA, given my limited experience with 3D Printing, I thought it's a unique feature of the Ender 3 S1 Pro... they seemed to be using it as a selling point too... so got my attention. If that is the case then this is probably a better printer than the Ender 3 S1 Pro given the larger build volume too.
Hi, I got this printer yesterday and was able to put it together without issue. However, when I try to home Z or auto level, the CR-Touch does not stop the Z axis and the print head continues to move down after it touches the plate and crashes into it. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Does the crouch have power and is it deploying the probe before moving down?
@@GomeowCreations yes, it has power. It runs the self check when the printer turns on and then when I click ‘auto level’ it deploys the little probe.
Before doing anything else try to update the printer. I did it with the mobile app. Let me know if that works or not
@@GomeowCreations I successfully updated it through the app, but it is still unable to level or even home in the Z axis. The cr-touch doesn’t stop the printer from moving when the probe hits the bed
And I'm sure you have tried triggering the probe before it hits the bed with like your finger or something right? Sadly by the sounds of it you need to contact reality because I don't know any other things you could try. I wish I could help but let me know what happens
Hello, can anyone tell me what nozzle this printer uses like a mk8 or whats the correct nozzle type for this printer?
Thx
I think it is the mk8 nozzles but I will have to check to be sure when I get back to my shop
I just checked and yes they are mk8 nozzles
Thank you so much and also thanks for all the content ;)
When can you pick this up on Amazon?
I don't know yet but once I see that it is available I will put links to it in this video
Hi do you recommend it for beginners?
Yeah this would work great as a beginner printer.
Can you use metal filament with it
Yes and no. You are going to want to change the nozzle to something hardened or ruby. The metal filled filament will destroy the brass nozzle.
@@GomeowCreations About the nozzle, is it MK8 compatible? I have quite a lot of zodiac nozzle for my Ender 3 v2
Like ok 👍👍👍
What's the usb c port for
I honestly have now idea and never thought about tit to be honest 😅
@@GomeowCreations lol ok so on an ender 3 v2 there is a micro USB port and you can print using it by connecting it to a pc and if you have the correct drivers on your PC you can use the USB c port to do the same on the cr10 smart pro I just found that out and made a short to show I was able to do so without modification Luke others where doing. I found this out right after making that comment
That is interesting and good to know.
@@GomeowCreations it's some ch340 usb driver
I saw this on the Creality Store and is labelled as fully automatic bed levelling which is not the case as it does not have a third leadscrew and Z controlled bed, what it does have is independently driven dual leadscrews enabling G34 to be used to level the gantry with a CR Touch, the bed still has to be manually leveled and then probed, a fixed level bed would be more preferable, I cant see where they have spent all the extra money this costs over the CR-10 Smart, It seems they have added the retail cost of the upgrades to the CR-10 Smart price, with no consideration to subtracting the price of the original parts that were replaced with the upgrades
The Smart features on the original did not work, is this the case with this one also?
If so Creality are sticking two fingers up to the people who purchase this.
Since it came out that Creality were offering cash bribes for favourable reviews of their lemon printers despite being aware of those TH-camrs review policies and as a result those large channel TH-camrs breaking all ties with Creality I would not feel comfortable buying any more of their products
Yeah from what I have seen about the first cr smart people had a lot of problems with the fixed bed design and could never get it level. The manual bed with the car touch is a good setup, at least from my experience. This is how I have all of my other older Creality printers setup as well and I have no problem with them after I get things set up the first time.
I do a lot of product work ony printer with 1000s of hours of print time on them and honestly. This printer was added to that setup and I'm having no problems with it yet using PLA but I did have a problem getting abs to stick to the bed so that.
I wasn't paid anything to make this video, I was just sent the printer and told a date to have the video out by, and that was it 😁.
The UI on this is not something I like that much and the screen doesn't always pickup my touch inputs the first time. I really wish it was more like the big tree tech displays.
I paid for this 3 weeks ago, and it's not even shipped. Yet you got this for free.
Yeah I got this one for free* I did have to spend a week shooting a video for it and hours editing all the content I made it this one 8min long video. So nothing I get is truly free at the end of the day 😅👍
With that said let me know what you thing of your once you get it.😁
@@GomeowCreations Haha, I just thought there's a little bit of irony. Making a video will surely be worth it.
It cost me a whopping $950usd to import this to my country.
I finally got mine. I've had nothing but issues. The leveling is off, the front left it's as loose as it'll allow, back left it's has tight.
The power cable which came wouldn't stay in, had to use a different one.
And now I'm trying to print, but the extruder won't melt it for some reason, despite being 200c. It's just clicking
I'm not 100% sure. That the problem are but the level thing could be due to the z lead screws not being aligned so it would make things very out of level.
The not melting part with the clicking is odd. I know that when I try to switch the filament sometimes it will get stuck and hot get to the nozzle. I have to take the filament out and straighten it out a bit and with the cutter I cut the end at a 45 degree angle. That normal makes it's so it I move that table on the time it will slide through the extruder.
I guess one other this you can try with that is loosen the pressure bolt on the extruder so see it that is just holding the filament too tight.
I don't remember but is this your first printer?
We need a puppy update.
Ok
Well after seeing this video last week I bough a CR10 Smart pro, Regret it after 4 days, worst printer I have ever used. First of all the leveling on this thing is a nightmare, I leveled it around 100 times in the past 4 days, manual level like I do my Ender 3 pro, then auto level with the CR touch the adjust the Zhoffset. and I really don't think its saving to Eprom to be honest, Because when I do my leveling test print its off big time, So auto level isn't compensating for the bed at all. Bottom left is too low, top right is too high, and I do have a high spot in the middle it seems, but the CR touch should take care of this and it doesn't. Other issues I have is printing, Vase mode rocks, but with no retraction thats normal, easiest thing to print. Benchy looks good, XYZ cube looks good, but a actual print with support ( tree and normal) Look like crap and fail. real nightmare, and the worst 1000$CAD i wasted in a long time.
And I tried Cura 4.12, Cura 5, Creality slicer and prusa slicer :(
@@MrRuber249 I would reset all the settings in the printer's flash memory first. After that, you will need to lower the bed via the wheels until they all bottom it out compressing the springs. THEN start the manual level process at point 5 (the center) - and reverse the wheels at each test point until you get within about 0.5mm across all 5 points. This will take about 2 or three cycles to get them all within the 0.5mm. NOW, you do do an auto-level and it will create an internal mesh profile of your specific bed plate. Once that is done, it will go back to the center of the bed (point 5 or the HOME position) and come to a stop after probing its latest bed distance, you can lastly make the final Z-axis fine tune adjustment. In 0.1mm increments, you can adjust the nozzle down to 0.2mm (I prefer 1.8mm). To get to that resolution, it may need a Z level adjustment as much as +/-2.5mm, even if in most cases it will be less than 1mm. This may read weird, but I own and have tested both the Ender 3 v3 S1 and this CR10 Smart Pro (which replaced my CR10S-Pro v2 as a rapid prototype printer), and up to a few mm of wiggle room to get it dialed in is not unheard of.
Even my $5K Raise3D Pro3 Industrial printer needed to be calibrated before its first use to confirm the factory precision of its gantries and robust leveling probe remained dead on accurate within 0.04mm across the entire CNC milled build plane. This takes about 1 hour from start to finish.
Once you get it done with the CR10 Smart Pro, it will be a nice feeling and the printer will pay you back with nice prints.
@@TheSbooth72 With your CR10 smart pro, did you upgrade to V1.0.13? If so did you notice the CR touch not retracting when it does auto leveling?
This printer is now $800-900. What makes it $400 better than the CR-10 Smart?
From what I have found, you can get the CR-10 Smart Pro for $838.22 shipped and the CR-10 Smart for $527.56 so a 310.66 difference. That being said the only difference I see is the auto leveling system, led lights, webcam and the direct drive setup on the pro. I can see that being worth the extra $300+ to some people that don't want to mess with upgrading later.
The only bad thing I have seen about the C-R Smart was people having a very hard time leveling it due to the fixed bed. It was soo off in spots that they had to take it apart and add shims to make it work. The pro has and adjustable bed so you can move it if needed and have the CR touch take car of the rest.
Just my thoughts on it 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations The Smart didn't have manual leveling screws, and this does. That is a huge difference between them.
👍👍👍♥️
😁👍
@@GomeowCreations thanks.♥️👍
Why are these $799 instead of $699, as shown?
I have no idea and sadly I don't control the prices and I can update it in my videos 😅
@@GomeowCreations It doesn't really help if you update to $799. I was thinking they could update to $699! :😉
I wasn't complaining about your video. I'm a buyer at$699. Otherwise I'll wait
That is understandable 😅
@@GomeowCreations I'm looking for a 1st printer and I wanted to get something with a fairly large work area and a 300 degree extruder so I could print stronger materials, later.
I thought I had found the one, but now that I look most won't even ship for weeks.
Maybe I need to look at a different CR and upgrade the extruder??
You know Randy let those who complain keep on complaining. There is nothing that you are going to do to satisfy them. They are just miserable people looking for an excuse to bitch.
Thanks 😁
Why don't you show how to start the first print, instead of skipping over that part. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING FOR SOMEONE'S FIRST TIME TO START A PRINT WHEN NOBODY SHOWS THE ACTUAL STEPS ON THE PRINTERS SCREEN... On top of that, I've manually leveled the bed four times, and then ran the auto leveling afterwards, but each time I start a print, the nozzle is STILL too high, and it doesn't stick to the bed. Over and over and over again. I preheat the bed and the nozzle, and it still seems impossible to get that first layer level and just right. It would be nice if someone would do a step by step first print on this machine. I know this is a great printer. And I know I will eventually learn all I need to, and do well with it. But it would sure be nice to get an assist to speed up that learning curve.
You just need to adjust the z off set in the settings. You can do it as it's printing too. Just start a test print and wait for it to start printing. Look for the z off set button it will take you to a new screen and look for z-axis comp and start adjusting down until you have a good layer.
@@GomeowCreations Yeah, I was really frustrated at that moment, as there's plenty of help for people who have been printing for years. But very little attention to the first steps, for noobs.
I now have it pretty well leveled out, doing exactly what you describe above. And afterwards, I see your message in my email. Lol. However you get there, as long as you get there, huh? I still need to hone the right side in a bit, but the left side is spot on right now. Bit by bit...
The snake came off functional? I haven't started printing yet so I am curious
Yeah you can print things like this that can articulate right off the build plate, no assembly required haha.
