I'm curious that you used standoffs for the motherboard fan instead of a shroud or duct of the same height to ensure that most of the air still came from outside.
Is this a good printer to have for a beginner? I own a Prusa MK4 that is the only experience I have with 3D printers. I am thinking of buying a CR-30 for some production work
I've had pretty good experience with this printer printing out of the box, but I did have a couple nozzle clogs that ruined a few prints. I changed to a new nozzle and changed to PTFE capricorn tubing which helped solve this. The other challenge has been the software. Currently Creality has their own custom slicer software to support this printer which is not as stable as current slicing software. Occasionally strange artifacts will show up in the slicer, or sometimes models will refuse to slice all together. Everything else about the printer has been pretty solid!
Very interesting upgrade. I’m curious, how did you manage to bend the pla in your box design. Can you recommend a video about this or how tall do you give to the part that bends. Every time I try to do it it break 😞
In my experience the noisiest part of my ender printer....which is the same across all the creality printers....are the main PSU fans. Easy Pickens to get a higher quality fan from digikey with your dimensions and voltage for cheap and the nojse difference alone is night and day. The part cooling fan and extruder fan noise is negligible compared to that awful psu fan.
yes I believe so, although I personally haven't don it. Just make sure to upgrade to a hardened nozzle as carbon fiber filament tends to be more abrasive and wear out nozzles faster.
Nice video! I’m may buy this printer for some architecture. Do you know how fast can this printer goes with decent quality ? And with Creality Sonic Pad may be it could also help with speed and quality? If you get one would be nice to make a video.
I haven't done too much to push the speed on this printer. Even at the stock speed it sometimes struggles with quality, but this is usually due to random issues with the slicing software. Unfortunately I think the slicer is the weakest part of this printer.
I just bought the sonic pad for CR-30, unfortunately, I didn't understand how to make a very accurate printing, and also it looks like not support using creality slicer for doing slicer so I just used creality print as my slicer.
it's on the list haha. Didn't have time for this video. Printing head re-design, direct drive upgrade, and more in the future. Any recommendations for a direct drive or one you'd' like to see? I'm currently using the orbiter V2.0 on my Ender 3 printer.
Yes so far I haven’t had any filament jams during any longer prints. I think it was likely from the extra junk near the nozzle from a poorly cut Bowden tube.

Nice video!! The best UP of the machine!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Great video
Good work, I might try some of these upgrades myself
Curious if you ever dealt with layer shifting on the Creality CR-30
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😃

Is it possible to print PA-CF on this printer? :)
yes I believe so, although I personally haven't don it. Just make sure to upgrade to a hardened nozzle as carbon fiber filament tends to be more abrasive and wear out nozzles faster.

Hi, can you share your profile slicer which you demo in this video?
Sure I'll do my best! Let me know if there's any parameters specifically you're curious about.
Belt Wall speed: 10mm/s
layer height: 0.2mm
wall line count: 4
T/B thickness1.0mm
Top layers: 5
Btm layers: 3
Infill density: 20%
Infill pattern: triangles
material: PLA
printing temperature: 210C
Bed Temp: 60C
Print speed: 40 mm/s
I still can’t get mine to just level and print. It’s just throws spaghetti.
Just curious why didn’t you make it direct drive?
it's on the list haha. Didn't have time for this video. Printing head re-design, direct drive upgrade, and more in the future. Any recommendations for a direct drive or one you'd' like to see? I'm currently using the orbiter V2.0 on my Ender 3 printer.
Did the tube upgrade solve the previous issues?
Yes so far I haven’t had any filament jams during any longer prints. I think it was likely from the extra junk near the nozzle from a poorly cut Bowden tube.
@@DesktopInventions Nice
The power supply muffler is badly mounted. You are now blowing the hot air back into the intake…
All my prints on white come out smeared! Some one too????
Smeared? That sounds strange. Maybe try cleaning the nozzle or changing the filament
A intenção era silenciar e encheu de bujinganga ...
All this upgrade is just a shit only to do something , find ways to pass the time lol
heii, are you on instagram orfacebook?
Yes I’m on Facebook and Twitter, although more active on Twitter. My handle is @Dtopinventions my Facebook page is just desktop inventions
