Creality3D CR - 10S 3D Printer

Pros:

-Very good quality prints
-Prints in most filaments
-Everything is very high quality, heavy, metal, very skookam.
-Chooches like the best of them!
-Super quick and easy to assemble.
-Some extra parts even
-I've only just started but this seems to be one of the easier printers to upgrade quite a bit
-Included micro-SD card has a couple prints on it already that are nice mods for the CR-10. Such as a couple strain reliefs and a guide, etc.

Some incorrect things that GearBest answered when people have asked in the questions section, that I would like to clear up, I just hope those same people see this review.

-It DOES come with a glass bed top ontop of the aluminum heated bed base.
-It DOES come with a little PLA filament. It's not a ton but it's quite a bit to get you started, I've printed 4 or 5 things so far and I haven't even put a dent in it.
-I believe the extruder in this is an MK8

Finally on to shipping. I'm somewhat happy to say that this is the fastest I've ever received something from China. Usually things take 2-3 weeks or more but this arrived in 10 days from China to Central US (Northern IL). The one weird thing and I'm guessing something went wrong was that when I ordered it I chose expedited shipping, and DHL EXT. It was NOT clear what DHL EXT is or what half of the shipping options mean, but I can say that my package started in China using China Post and was delivered to my door using USPS, the entire time I had a USPS tracking number to track it.

Now when I ordered and chose DHL EXT there was NO added shipping cost even though it said expedited, which I found interesting because I'm fairly certain expedited shipping from China would cost a few bucks. So I figure maybe this "DHL EXT" isn't for shipping to the US and so they just sent it through USPS. But I can't say for sure.

Cons:

-Not really a con but either it is tested before they ship it or I got one that someone returned and they fixed it or something.
-Sticker on fan peeling off
-A coupler's set-screws on the Y-axis stepper motor weren't affixed correctly, easy fix though so again not really a con. Plus I've read that some people have has those couplers snap in shipping so I figured this may have been done on purpose.

The issue I had was when I went to tighten the set-screws they went all the way through and fell into the middle of the coupler. No big deal I had to loosen all the set screws and move things around to get them out and realized I had to move the coupler up a little bit for it to connect the Y-axis threaded pole and the stepper motor. Just an FYI

Pros:

La stampante CR-10 è una buona stampante che ha un ottimo rapporto prezzo-prestazione. E' facile da montare anche dai meno esperti; di fatto c'è da unire i due pezzi principali, stringere le viti e collegare i fili x, y, z nella giusta posizione e poi non resta che partire per la prima stampa di prova. Come “tradizione” NON STAMPATE il file g-code del Gatto... è corrotto e dopo due ore di stampa va fuori centro ed è tutto da buttare! Scaricate da internet uno dei tanti files di prova e provate con quelli; a me ha funzionato molto bene il Robot di Ultimaker.
Per stampare in PLA non è necessario scaldare il piatto, occorre solo il nastro per dare aderenza. Occorre fare una buona calibrazione, che con un piatto di così grandi dimensioni non è semplicissima anche se, una volta fatta, viene mantenuta a lungo.
Il problema maggiore nella calibrazione del piatto è che se vanno bene gli angoli al centro la testina di stampa o è troppo vicina e raschia la superficie o è troppo lontana e il layer non aderisce bene... Ciò è probabilmente dovuto al fatto che il piano in vetro non è perfettamente piano ma tende ad alzarsi o abbassarsi al centro. Consiglio quindi, dato che le stampe non saranno sempre alla massima dimensione, di calibrare il piatto sulla parte centrale più utilizzata per stampe con la base fino a 18x18 cm, ed utilizzare tutti i 40 cm di altezza.

Consiglio questa stampante, soprattutto se è la vostra prima stampante 3D dove poter sperimentare ed imparare i trucchi per una buona stampa.

Cons:

E' poco curata la documentazione fornita. La scheda fornita dovrebbe avere un maggior numero di files STL di esempio ed alcuni GCODE perfetti con le indicazioni dei parametri di slicing in modo da fare subito delle prove e verifiche. Sarebbe necessario anche avere da subito CURA nella versione più aggiornata, senza dover andare a scaricarla da internet.

Pros:

The printer works well and gives good prints. I'm new to 3D printing so I can't really compare to anything else except youtube clips from other printers. One thing I have notices is that the cat print (even though it didn't print the head) included gets printed in super awesome quality and prints I've gotten of Thingiverse and sliced with Cura does not reach that quality, I guess it has to do with settings in Cura and maybe the details of the 3D files. The quality is very nice anyway though, so no real complaint, just an observation. It takes some skills to do the right settings when slicing.

My machine was not actually working ok when I first started it up. The temperature measurements were resetting randomly and resulted in Low Temp errors. I found that the problem is because the cable that goes to the to the nozzle, fans etc is glitchy, when I move the cable it looses connection. I've temporarily solved it by disassembling the connector on to the main unit and bent the cables a bit but it's not a long term solution. I will ask GearBest if the can send a new cable.

Overall, for the price, this printer is very good so far and it was easy to assemble. If it hadn't been for that glitch in the cable it would have been super easy. Still, not recommended if you are looking for a Plug and Play experience, you need to watch some you tube vids, read some instructions and be ready to experiment a bit before you get nice prints.

Cons:

Bed levelling is a bit fiddly and I think it doesn't get exactly levelled. Mine is level in the corners but it's sagging down 0.1-0.2mm in the middle. I've solved it by levelling without tape in the corners and then printing on one layer of tape to get the middle part up 0.1 mm. I'm not sure how this will work for really big prints that goes all the way out to the edges though, the nozzle might come to close to the glass. I've yet to try any of the more advanced solutions with wedges under the bed. For now it works just fine with a layer of tape.

Could use some more instructions on how to get started with setup and printing. How to get prints to stick to the bed and so on.

Pros:

Commandée pour 305€, je l'ai reçue à la maison seulement une semaine après. J'ai ouvert le carton, déballé les pièces et en 15 minutes, tout était monté, prêt à fonctionner. Il suffit de visser la partie verticale sur la base, brancher les câbles sur la station de contrôle, contrôler les serrages des visses, et c'est parti. De plus, elle est fournie avec une bobine de filament PLA, ce qui permet de la tester tout de suite, et de réaliser ces premières impressions. La qualité des matériaux de la Créality CR10 fait qu'il y a très peu de jeu entre les pièces, et par conséquent les impressions sont d'une très bonne qualité. Le menu (en Anglais) du boitier de contrôle est simple et se prend vite en main. Si demain je devais renouveler mon achat, c'est sans hésitation que je choisirais la créality CR10 à nouveau.

Cons:

La seule petite amélioration à prévoir pour cette imprimante est une vitre de meilleur qualité. Celle ci est légèrement bombée au milieu.

Pros:

The Creality3D CR - 10S 3D Desktop DIY Printer was a very simple and easy to build 3D printer that has very good print results.
Highly recommend if you are in the market for a 3D printer that is low budget with good quality print output.
Building the printer was very easy from start to finish. Very little skill was needed as a lot of the build was already done.
I am unable to find any cons at this time I am happy to say
Unbelievable 3D printer. Well worth the money
Check out my unboxing and build video

Cons:

A few loose bolts found on the assembled parts so check when you are building yours. These may have been left loose for transport.
At this time there are no real cons as every thing was easily assembled and worked perfect from the start

Printing results are quite good.

----------------
Bütçenize uyuyorsa upgraded versiyonu almanızı öneririm. 11.11 indirimiyle kargo dahil 450 USD civarına geldi. Sonuçlar mükemmel.

Cons:

It took 15 days to deliver to Carrier 40 days to receive the printer due to volume of the box, at last everything fixed

Dec 21,2017

Pros:

Me llegó en 19 días naturales, en periodo navideño. La impresora es muy robusta y me había informado bien antes de comprarla. Al principio cuesta un poco con los típicos problemas de adhesión pero agarrándole la mañana he empezado a realizar impresiones con excelente calidad, gracias a la gran comunidad que hay también he impreso ya diferentes modificaciones para ayudarle a tener mejor funcionamiento. Es una excelente impresora si ya tienes experiencia y muy fácil de armar. Si eres novato sería mejor comenzar con una anycubic i3 mega.

Cons:

Un tornillo venía doblado en la placa de nivelación y costó muchísimo trabajo para sacarlo y comprar uno nuevo.

La banda hace contacto en el eje X y se tiene que modificar para que no se vaya a romper

La bandeja donde se introduce el usb y la tarjeta sd no corresponde a la altura correcta y se me cayó la tarjeta dentro. Tuve que quitar la tapa de abajo para recuperarla.

Pros:

bonjour je suis novice en print. j'ai acheté cette imprimante 3D pour moins de 400€ et pour le moment je m'en sort pas trop mal avec. elle va plutôt bien à utilisé et la qualité des pièce imprimé est bonne. à la livraison j'ai juste eu la vitre bombé légèrement au centre (j'ai acheté un pack 4 miroir à Leroy Merlin pour 7€90) et les coupleur axe Z cassée (j'ai acheté deux coupleur 8/5 mm. à 4€ ) et la poulie sur le moteur de l'axe y été pas très bien serez ce qui m'a fait des décalage sur mes 3 première pièces. le plateau été aussi pas très bien sere il avait beaucoup de jeu.

Cons:

En conclusion avec quelque petit problème je suis très conten de mon acaht pour le moment. à voir dans le temps.

Mar 28,2018

Pros:

It does a good job.
Tighten everything up snug tight, not too tight. Keep air circulation minimal. There's printable updates you can get to super it up more. Very versatile. You can run a large number of different slicers when you input the settings based on the printer. You can use other design software, run it through the slicers, and print. It uses micro sd. However, there's an adapter available on the internet so that you can use a regular sandisk into a micro sd.

Cons:

Gcode on the cat may be bad. you could get a scalped cat on test print. Run a fresh simple gcode from the creality site or another site.

Pros:

Great printer for the price, nice quality in my first print without too much adjusting I think it is a great platform to get into 3d printing like myself.
The printer came well packaged, protected and complete.

bought Jan 7 and arrived the 22nd to Mexico, tracking was available thru the webpage provided by Gearbest

Cons:

the instructions could be better but there are plenty of youtube videos on how to assemble and adjust it.
