Creality have clearly put a lot of effort into making their 3D printersas accessible as possible to even those with minimal DIY or making experience. The 3D printer came mostly assembled, with the major parts fitted into the polystyrene within the box it arrived in. From there, the main step is simply putting four screws in — two on each side of th...
One of the first tests we always do when reviewing 3D printers is a torture test. These aptly named prints are designed to push a 3D printer’s capabilities to their limit, either by not using supports on a print with mild overhangs to test quality and precision, a print with a number of intricate and awkwardly placed geometries, and many others. In...
Large build volume
When the first and original Creality CR-10 released, one of the major factors behind its instant popularity was the fantastic build volume for such as cheap 3D printer (the original retailed for around $379 a few years back). Several iterations later, the CR-10 Smart still maintains this stellar print volume, but with a host of improvements — Creality call the CR-10 Smart their most technologically advanced 3D printer.
WiFi connectable
You can also print remotely using the Creality Cloud app. This is far easier than repeatedly plugging an SD card into your laptop or PC, loading the sliced STL file from Cura or Creality’s 3D slicer, and then plugging the SD card back into your 3D printer. Some computers have forgone the SD card slot entirely, meaning you have to buy an SD card to USB adapter or a microSD to SD adapter, making the WiFi option particularly attractive.
Sturdy build and reliable
The z-axis diagonal beams effectively anchor the Creality CR-10 Smart and prevent extraneous vibrations or any other factors from affecting your print. The resulting lack of z-wobble improves your print’s surface finish on even the most intricate models.
Instructions could have been clearer in one area
One step in the building process involves you attaching the filament spool holder to the side of the CR-10 Smart. The instructions only give a fairly basic guide of how to do that, as there are screws in the filament holder that do not have an immediately obvious place to fit, nor are there any obvious places on the side of the 3D printer that you’d know to attach it to. It’s actually more nuanced than the instructions tell: you need to turn the movable end of the filament spool holder so tha...
Somewhat slow calibration
The CR-10 Smart calibrates before every print, touching up and down on 16 points on the print bed. While this is great for ensuring precision for every print, this can take more than 5 minutes, and if you’re using the printer for a lot of fairly quick prints, these few minutes can add up and put a small dent in your productivity.
Firstly, the new Creality CR-10 Smart now has diagonal z-axis beams for added stability. The most recent CR-10 V3 also had these diagonal beams, but the original CR-10 did not. Older CR-10 models also did not have a touchscreen, instead using a twisting knob to choose between different control options such as printing, leveling and adjusting extrud...
