Yesss... Thanks for the video! Can't wait to get mine...
When?
Did you get one ? How was it ? Recommend any others ?
"This is the best thing you can buy for your money, hands down, right now."
A good review with a proper yes/no ending. We need more of this. Thanks Joel.
Sebastian Finke
Not all reviews should have a yes or no ending.
The great thing is that because we finally have an affordable 3D printer that prints amazingly well, that will force the other companies to reduce their prices also.
pretty good stuff! coupons:

lets see your abs prints please ?
Good luck getting one. Just waited 6 weeks to be told it's on backorder and no estimated shipping date. Was offered a store credit :|
Bummer. I guess we should wait till it's "in stock" before buying.
I think I ordered the last one about a week ago. :)
Love the new editing, well done Joel!
Liked the shout-out to you also. Your reviews on this unit have been great and it's one of the main reasons I bought one.
+RCLifeOn thank you! I hope you didn't mind the shout out to your findings.
I love that you did not remove the video. But did change the title according to your negative findings and added the description if them in the video description.
You earn my respect for handling it this way.
It is still a machine worth looking at but lets first see if they will fix their GPL violation.
Those "ribs" in the CNC/CAM world (MasterCam, etc) are called "Facets". The reason they are on your models is because your machine is running "point to point". I assume your files are in G code. CNC machines have the codes, G2 and G3 that do circular interpolation and generate smooth arcs. Software like MasterCam can reduce the facets in point to point toolpaths (G1) if the user sets a smaller tolerance from true profile when generating the toolpath.(But the file gets very large.) Maybe there is some software that can update your printer to run G2, G3 commands. If not , it might be a good project for the RPi guys :)
Coming from CAD, and saving in STL (At least n solidworks) you can customize the save operation to STL and get rid of AALOT of that :)
Thanks for an excellent review covering everything anyone could ever need to know about this before purchasing one. You're the best!
Thanks for watching!
Thx Joel for your review. I really have to state that for me you are the most mind opening, easy to listen and well narrating tech reviewer out here on RUclips. Never thought I would become a YT channel fan, but finally I am. Keep on your good work! Looking forward to your next video and my CR-10 :)
Dear Sebastian Mueller,
Thank you for your attention and support for Creality 3D, We will try our best to do better.

thanks m8
This printer has been wonderful. Got it within about 10 days of ordering it, assembled in less than 45 minutes, and the first prints came out wonderful with no tweaking. I ordered mine through TinyMachines who perform some QA before shipment to weed out a lot of the errors people get with GearBest. Also if you have any errors they have a great customer service and online presence. Highly recommend this printer, and also highly recommend TinyMachines if you can afford the extra cost.
Since this isn't my only printer, I installed a 0.6mm nozzle on it, and may go bigger some day. I would recommend if this is your second or third printer, to increase the nozzle size so you can print faster. Those HUGE models will take forever on a 0.4mm nozzle, so I made it so the CR-10 is my big printer that I typically only use for big models. It can handle the small models great, but it makes sense to target different machines if you have different machines.
Thanks for the review Joel. I've had my CR-10 for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with it. I got it from BangBest (I can't remember which one) for $369. I have printed out most of the little modification items and they work well. I admittedly have only used PLA on this machine but have never had a failure. I use the thing almost daily with no issues so far. I highly recommend this printer.
"A pretty vase is kinda boring to me..."
Totally agree. But like you say, there's something about that vase. Looks great.
Waiting for our machine now, exited as flock. Your channel is stepping up it's game! I cannot but wonder how valuable your "early" 3D machine collection will be worth in 2 decades or so. Hope you keep the boxes :D
Totally agree. I love my cr-10. Haven't had any issues with it yet.
Hellow sir is it still reliable!?
Is it just me or is this black vase fking gorgeous?!
Thank you for your neutral review. 3D printing is going ahead at a pace.
As somebody who is getting back in to aeromodelling, 3D printing is key to providing a light example of those awkward shapes to scale such as the nose cone for a Vulcan.
The CR-10 appears to be a reasonably priced option for the enthusiastic amateur aeromodeller.
Regards,
Michael Kitchen, UK
+Michael Kitchen YES! For the price it's a great machine.
these reviews are awesome and very informative , you want to know the ins and outs about the purchases ,specially when products are shipped and the kind of guaranteed that they use to either send the product or refund!! I work hard for my money!! I need quality and fast response , thanks!!
I just received my CR-10 and it's easy as hell to assemble. I have to do print comparisons my Prusa MK2 and CR-10 this weekend.
but... but... what about my prusa... i'm still cool, right?
What is the material of the frame?
Our prusa heated bed is still much Superior don't worry
@Phoenixoverlord17X No, it's hype. Signed, a Prusa mk3 owner.
@@tmike4160 I bought an Original PRUSA i3 MK3 and it came with some gummy bears and a used fedora. Best $1600 ever spent, now i can belittle people who got cheaper copies of my beloved Original PRUSA i3 MK3, doesnt matter if they are the same or better quality they aren't Original Prusa! and that intermediately makes it superior to anything, HAHAHAHA those Stratasys printers are mere pheasant tools besides the mighty Original PRUSA i3 MK3.
Sent from my Original PRUSA i3 MK3 with Tapabragg™
Fantastic my brother , I am always fascinated with the technology and is insane how humans we are creating such an amazing machine! not to sound cliche ! thanks for the video and the ability to explain in normal language for us newbies. I am considering just start creating things. thanks!!!
thanks for drawing attention to the GPL issue. I'm no not getting a CR10 until they get their house in order
they did go open source: www.reddit.com/r/CR10/comments/8bjlbv/creality_is_going_100_open_source_thanks_to/
What is GPL
GPL is basically a contract between you and the company as to what you can do to the software (firmware) and what you can expect from the company supplying it. The problem in this case was that Creality used Marlin as the base code for the firmware on the Printer which uses a GPL (there are many different ones that have different requirements) that states they had to release the source code showing the changes done to the Marlin original source code (it was not an all new code they used) They initially refused stating they did not have the source code only the hex code then some licensing agreement issue, at the end of the day, from what I understand is Naomi Wu stepped in and explained the GPL to them in their native language (chinese) and the source code was released.
GPL is a software license. One of the many. It forces users of GPL software to release their edits of the same software. Chinese don't have to do this because they can steal, pirate, and create 100% illegally, but still legal for them. It was nice of them to actually bide by other countries rules and open source it, though.
Great printer
Can't wait for mine to arrive! Thanks for the superb review!
Do not order form gearbest, dont have them in stock, payed additional dhl express and they dont want to give back money, instead they sent 2 rolls of filament and treat it as the order that i ordered
Hustle company
This so much.. Even tho I understand trhese Channels get free printers they are just promoting scamming websites..
Or they will hold your item after you paid claiming that you need to pay for it to go through customs. Refuse to give you the money back. Happened to me.
Gearbest can't hold anything at customs. When it is in customs it is in your country. Plus if it is being held up for "ransom", learn which carriers do that sort of thing. For example I will not accept anything that is handled by UPS. Crazy brokerage fees on top of tariffs.
Not true in my experience. I've ordered many things from Gearbest and they arrive within the announced range of dates, usually on the fast side. I had one item that was running late past the expected date and I contacted Gearbest not to complain but to see if they could track it. Instead, they sent out another one immediately, no questions asked. I ended up with the first shipped unit a few days later and the second one arrived on time. No extra charges.
Charliebrm1 that's you I'm just saying what has happened to me and countless others. Google it.
Excellent review. Based on the print examples you showed and your review, this could very well be my next 3D printer. Thank you for the informative video.
Joel, really nice channel! I'm digging through it tonight. I would like to combine 3d scanning and 3d printing to enable the fabrication and replication of LARGE multi rotor propellers. The Creality CR-10 sounds close (too small, but close). Any recommendations for 3D scanning that can cover up to 24" long objects? Any videos that give an overview of interfacing the systems?
Well ... so did ya manage to do it? ... and if yes: how? 👀
Love you channel. We "had" 3 of these as when we tested the first we were very pleased with the quality, especially for the price, BUT, over only a period of 1 month we have had nothing but problems from all 3 printers. They need constant adjustment and often fail, added with the nozzles clogging, bed level often going out of alignment to mention just a few.
If you print often, and want reliability, Forget the CR-10! When they work they work well, but holy $#*¥ the reliability and quality of the actual printers is terrible
Wow! This is a great, informative review!
I might have bought that if I watched the two reviewers who gave it the best bang for your bucks. I did get an Ender 5 pro, and I broke a stop sensor the first time I turned it on. So I am waiting on that to come in tomorrows mail. I will consider the CR10 for my next printer if nothing better comes along. This 5 pro is what I will use to get up to speed on everything. Once I do that, the next printer will be ordered.
OMG, I did not know this. My order has been processed and is on it's way to me. I'm a subscriber (NUBE) and I hope now that I have found your channel you won't disregard giving tips on this printer's usage.
When I got mine, it was at the beginning of the Craz of the CR-10. It only took me a week from the day of purchase to date delivered. I got it on sale for $415 all total. I've never regrated it. Now I'm getting into photogrammetry and printing things that I want to print that you could never buy at a store or online. Was at Disney for vacation and took about 30 somewhat pictures of the Haunted Mansion plaque at the front gate and so far it looks great.
This is why I subscribe to you. Iv been looking for a good printer with these kind of dimensions!
CR10s S5 my dude
Hands down one of the best review of this printer. Great job. Now i can buy this printer. This will be my second printer after Hobbyking Fabrikator Mini V2
Editing LEVEL UP!
really
lol
why is there an icon after your name?
which i cant recognize
Nice editing, sound and graphics. You da baller now!
Hey Joel, thanks for all your work and advocacy in the 3D printing world.
However, there is one thing that mystifies me regarding the CR-10's lack of support for thermal runaway! The 3D printing community for years now have hashed over this issue, complete with videos of user's houses that burned up, etc. and the necessity for this protection is pretty well established.
I gather (please tell me if this is wrong!) that Creality had some trouble in finding the undersized capacitors they were using as the culprit for unstable temperature sensor readings, so instead of fixing this, they just turned off the runaway support and shipped the printers!
So, why isn't it pretty important to tell folks about changing the firmware to a version of marlin you can control, enabling the thermal protection support, and upgrading the control board with better capacitors if needed???
I have a CR-10s I bought just one month ago (June 2018) and its temperature readings appear stable, and I love the machine otherwise, but running with no runaway protection makes me distrust the printer until I upgrade the firmware, even if it means not enjoying some of the other features of the printer.
Thumbs Up! As a RULE OF THUMB, I always scale the model in the 3D Modeling software, to proper dimensions, plus or minus the tolerance of the material shrinkage. I do not use the scaling feature of Cura or the printer software as I have found, as in your video, some inconsistencies in equal axis scaling. I have seen a lot of machine reviews and given there are some good and bad machines out there, you'd be surprised what a cheap machine can do in the hands of creative and meticulous operators if you know the basics of 3D printing and what is really important. I started with a Fabrikator II mini and if I did not tell you some of the parts I have made on this tiny machine, you would think I made them in a much more expensive machine. It boggles the mind when I compare them with parts I use to print on an original 3D systems SLA machine of 100k plus dollars back in the early 90's. The stuff we can print these days on our tabletops, is simply awesome! If you can design and print, both, even better! We are so spoiled these days, in so many ways!
So after getting a Monoprice Mini as my first printer I quickly realized that, even though it's a fantastic little machine, it's VERY limiting, thinking about getting a CR10 due to its relatively low cost for a huge size and presumably good quality. Thanks for the review.
Love the use of the turn table.
Hi Joel
If you want the bed temperature to rise above 85, do it quicker, easier and stay more stable, then it's really easy just insulate the underside of the bed with floor or wall cork tile/s the best part is its cheap and safe. I find on a 220 X 220 bed the improvement is about 40% quicker to heat up.
The large area on the 300 X 300 bed allows for insulation on top of the cork also to be installed, there are several methods from foils to pipe lagging (you know the black gooey stuff with tin foil backing etc.
All in all this is easier on the PSU and cost less to run the printer while increasing its lifespan.
Please remember no foil near the power input to the bed.
Hey, I've been considering purchasing this printer and came across your comment; I just wanted to thank you for it.
Nice informative video! In the end, I opted for the Tarantula because of the foot print. It more or less uses the same concept and this one and it looks amazing!
Received it in 18 days from order which is amazing.
Thanks for sharing
peace!
Does anyone have a link to the big vase he printed?
I'm surprised Joel didn't respond to this one...
The taller on is "Spin Vase" by Devon Montes at www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-spin-vase-38295. See also similar "Spin Vase 3" at www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-spin-vase-3-41523
I can't figure out what the shorter ribbed vase is, but if you (or Joel) know please drop me a line. Thanks!
@@anthonyrich1592 Thanks for the info! I just came across this video and "forget the rocket, where can I get that vases 3d file!" =D
The Big Vase looks great. I think I will have to buy the CR-10
The Creality CR-10 S5 prints 500mm x 500mm x 500mm (19"x19"x19") and runs about $1000.
$550 w/free shipping on amazon
bought it when i saw your previous video and having seen other very positive reviews, im really curious to see how it performs comparing to my other printer which are way more expensive! thanks for the review and highfive
"Here Josh catch"
Josh: *nearly dies
I love my CR-10, I got it from GearBest and the delivery tine was very long, but the price could not be beaten!
Joel, can we have a mid year review of all you machines?
I bought a credulity under 3 from greatest the other day. It's been a trail and learning experience so far.
Hi.. can you please compare the quality of prints with cr 10 and the new obsidian by kodama? thanks :D
Also backed it and it doesn't really matter how they compare I think. The obsidian has less than half the build space this thing does. My mpm has the same surface as the obsidian and likely print quality will be roughly the same is my guess, but the deluxe obsidian will have way more features. Same thing here, as his past obsidian review showed it was nice printing with nice features. I can say though, after 3 weeks with my mpm, I want a cr10 for the build space. As does my wife. 120x120x120 is way smaller than I figured.
Great review, considering this as another printer. Hope that was the pro blk I sent you. Been waiting to see what u'd make with it. Got some stuff to send u for a fan mail Fri.
2:32 HEYOH
Very informative; Nice review and in-depth analysis.
Amazing, where do I find the woman's stl?
Hi!!!!! I have been saving up for like a year and a half to get the CR-10... still dont have quite enough, but when I do get enough, I wanted to also save up enough for upgrades. So I can get everything at once. Can you make a detailed video on this subject? I want to know the latest, most practical upgrades currently. Also, if you can show in depth how to install them, how much they cost, links to buy them, and maybe a tutorial on how to make the printer even bigger maybe. I dont know if this is possible. I know you are busy and make a bunch of videos already. I would truly appreciate it if you did. Assuming you even see this message among your trillions of other messages. :) Either way, keep up the fantastic work, thank you for your videos, and have a fantastic rest of your year.
Thanks so such an awesome review. I have been battling with going for a Prusa mk3, Ultimaker 3 extended, and also the Raise N2 + (I really liked that, but there isn't enough info on the internet, I also tried to call them and no answer today, plus it states sold out on their website, so it concerns me they are not legit.) For the Money, would you advise the CR-10 (big helmet builds etc) and a Prusa mk3 for smaller items like Spider-Man lenses?
Love you page and your advise is appreciated
I've got a Raise3D N2. I really like it. Main problem is print bed adhesion, BuildTak doesn't work for me so I flipped the plate and use hairspray on glass. Not the best option, but it works. Besides that it prints very reliably and the dual extruder feature is worth it. Although $3k (inc shipping) is a steep price to ask.
Why do you need both the Prusa and the CR-10? Just wondering. I started looking into 3d printers this spring and thought I'd get myself a Prusa for Christmas.
Hi No Limit Designs. I work for Raise 3D, and I assure you we are more than legit. Feel free to call us at 1- 888 - 963 - 9028. I may even answer the phone.
Hi Seris, an idea is to use a glue stick like kids use in school on top of the Builtak surface. We do that. Also, make sure that your bed temp is high enough to ensure proper adhesion!.

Would love to see how that vase looks with lacquer, to cancel out the reflection patterns with a glossy surface.
I still love my Folgertech FT-5. It has the same print volume but does cost a bit more at 500 USD but it is a solid and rigid frame that is easy to enclose. Could you do a FT-5 review?
Dave about a month ago I was trying to decide between an ft-5 and the cr-10 but I went with the cr-10 for a few reasons. 1. It comes almost assembled, and 2. It was cheaper for less hassle. I have built 2 ft 2020 i3 kits and they taught me a ton, but I wanted something that just worked out of the box without 20 hours of build time. The cr-10 was cheaper and took less time to get amazing prints. Just my opinion of course.
Wellcar the rate prices keep flcuating on the cr10 there is barely any price difference now. Especially for the USA plug.
You have the better printer with the FT-5. I've build several printers from scratch - including a heavily redesigned C-Bot/D-Bot build and I can say with certainty that closed frame printers like the FT-5 are inherently more rigid. Also, the mendel style moving bed is heavy and archaic. A machine that only moves the heavy printbed slowly in Z is going to have much faster and precise X and Y moves. It's all about inertia. You can't break the laws of physics.
The closeup of the fins on the rocket at 2:05 show heavy ringing and artifacting. This is a sign of high axis inertia and /or a lack of rigidity.
I love the fact that when your printing the rocket at 2:12 onward, theres a second one on your other printer printing in the background :D lol
Even better, is that while the head is moving up on the CR10, the bed is moving down in the background
Gearbest takes a loooooooong time to process their orders. By the time I'll get mine to arrive, I'll be over 100 years old.
WTF BBQ Ordered mine and it's still processing aswell, just out of curiosity when did you place your order?
a week ago...... still says "processing". I thought it would be at least be sent out for delivery days ago. I read online that it could 4 weeks to arrive at your door. It's making me nervous actually....
WTF BBQ I believe I ordered mine about a week ago too... From what I've read online majority do eventually make it to your door but I've heard of many varying shipping times. I'm starting to feel the same way though, I'll be happy as long as it ships fine trying to be patient
Ordered mine on 20th and still processing....back order is bull shit
I ordered from GB on June 22. I emailed them yesterday about the processing time and they replied that there is high demand, but they expect to ship during the week of the July 10. So maybe a month plus shipping. Patience building exercise. I spent some time learning Cura. I read all the assembly instructions and watched all the videos. I even looked into how to modify for a dual extruder. Now I can just wait I guess... ... ...
Great review! Thank you for your objectiveness !
Love this video style!
those layers are incredible
hum, I just got the "ender 3".
how has it been working?
@@mrbrodywebb6595 I got a cr10 as well, both a not working atm.
TheSkruer that sucks, sorry to hear that
@@mrbrodywebb6595 no matter how many times I level the bed and sensor.. Stuff comes loose of the glass bed. I kinda regret I upgraded to glass.
TheSkruer yeah, i have had that issue too. have you tried putting down some double sided tape and leveling it with that on? that really helped me
Great review. Do you have any updated opinions on the CR-10S since it came out?
been waiting for this forever omg yayyy
Gatta are u sure? i mean i dont mean to be a dick or anything but alot of people are having issues with this printer but like i said in my other comment, most of them order it from gearbest and they ship it sometimes with warped beds, broken pieces etc and if you order it from tinymachines you get a full working machine because they inspect the hole thing and make sure you have fun. and i was so worried on wich one to buy if this or the prusa since am new to all of this 3d orinting stuff
I'm someone who got it from Gearbest, and the ony flaw I had was a slightly warped glass bed plate. As an example, I printed out Maker's Muse's Tolerance Test, and was able to separate the 0.15 knob, meaning it literally performed better than every FDM printer MM had at the time he made the test. I am not only happy with mine, I'm ecstatic.
Valandar2 lol fair enough. i really want to get in this cr10 hype wagon. and out of all the 3d printed guys over youtube, i only trust joel. and thats why i was waiting on this review.
I fully understand. I should note that I have replaced the glass on my bed with a mirrored tile from Lowes, 6 for $10 at my local one for 12" x 12". They're flat as can be, and I have extras in case of disaster.
Nice vid, good prints.... vase looks awesome.
Here from Brazil. Great review! We always use yours tips about 3d printing to make projects in Sao Paulo Fab Labs.
I agree with you Joel but it would be nice if such a large printer had auto bed leveling. I'm guessing they hand picked your glass bed for you because the CR-10 I got the middle of the bed is clearly not level no matter how hard you try to level it. After a bunch of prints and glue it seems to be a sweet spot leveling it now.
"Just choice" Showing your age there Joel. =)
MarcoNoPolo hearing it for the first time, using it from now on
saying "choice" is so choice!
I'm not "pro choice" but I like it nonetheless.
So a $400 printer utilizes machined plates yet the prusa still relies on 3d printed parts for the major structural connections? Come on Prusa! I get that it is supposed to be open sourced and easy to re-create by anyone, but at $800 I expect more metal!
The CR-10 you recieved must have been pre-tested by the manufacturer because out of the box these 3D printers are just a shabby as all other Chineses 3D Printers.
* Limit switches are all randomly placed with no stop plates or ajustments. This is the most critical but simple parts of any CNC machine.
* X axis of the bridge has no packing spacer so it took and hour just to get the bolts in the bottom.
* No manual or setup guide, just a single sheet of rubish instructions.
* No plans so you don't know how the thing is suposed to go together or be fixed.
If you are a Nerd do the tech stuff not the car sale babble!
Car sale babble! LMFAO! That's awesome.
3D Printing Nerd I’ve had to fiddle with mine and tweak everything to get it to print nicely. But I knew I would have too.
I got my printer two weeks ago, I was doing my first print after 45 minutes.
Paid up the ass! Ha! That's funny. I've yet to be paid for any review.
uh bullshit, rclifeon raves about this printer
AWESOME!!! Great thoughts, Joel. Got mine up and running today. :-) Can't wait to print with'em with that Uncle Jessy preset #HIGHfive
Joel you have inspired my to purchase my first 3D printer a Creality 10S Pro. I've been a maker and craftsman my whole life while "working for the man". I run a software development shop in Olympia and am still looking for what I want to do when I grow up. Maybe I can walk away from corporate America and become a RUclips content creator like you. Keep up the GREAT work!! I am thrilled to see you include your children in your channel content. High 5!!
just helped put one together going to have to get one.
Wholeheartedly agreed Joel!!! It's da bomb! High 5!
Flashforge Adventurer 3 vs. CR10? Will be doing a lot of prototypes and sacred geometry shapes.
Thanks, that was very informative!
Would be nice to have a video on Updating the firmware, I have two CR-10 printers that have different UI options and behave different but are still the same model except one had leveling knobs.
Awesome video!! so I do have 2 questions. If you were buying your second filament printer, knowing what you know now, what would you buy between the Cr-10 and the Original Prusa i3 MK2?
also do you have any plans on checking out and reviewing the B9Creator SLA printer? That printer is AMAZING!
Your videos are amazing :D
You can still get in on the “Early Bird Special” on Kickstarter to get the CR-6 SE for $319 with auto-leveling and a 32mb processor. Last I checked, there was only 693 offers still available. When they are filled, the offer goes away. When it debuts to the public later this fall, the price will be around $899. Don’t wait, go to Kickstarter and lock your price in now!
I got the 400x400x400 version from EN3dstudios. They cost a bit more, but at least they got it on stock, and they test the printers. I removed the masking tape, and now print on the glass with some 3DLAC. I kept some masking tape on the front and rear so the clips holding the glass down have more grip. I still have some ugliness on infill, which is probably down to temps and print speed. I printed some vanity models and some gears, and so far it all looks great. Despite some imperfections on the infill, the exterior of all the parts is fine. Dimensional accuracy of the gears seems to be excellent also, the tolerance on my 145mm diameter sprocket is smaller than 0.1mm, I can't measure it exactly with my callipers.
Hi Joel, I have one that worked great for about 2 months then screwed up. To explain: I designed a 50 X 50 MM Square, 0.2 mm thick. When it prints I see 2 lines touching as it should the a space abou equivalent to the width of the 2 lines. My theory is: Something in the Y direction has failed causing the Y to skip . I cannot fix it so I ordered a new one.
Do you have a download link for that vase? Your layer consistency on it seems amazing and I want to see if I can match it.
Joel...a couple of questions. You mentioned that you ran out of gold filament, but there was still some gold filament in the line when you finished the vase. If you did not want to mix colors, how would you have cleared the gold from the line before starting the new printing with black? And, as you said you might try, is there a way to start a print with one color and either alternate or change the color during the printing process? Thanks for the great review!
what’s the brand of black filament you used for the vase?? it’s absolutely stunning! nice work love this video
Matterhackers BUILD series PLA. It's here: 3d.pn/mhbuild
on the rocket, there's this faceting, I think that's because there's not enough resolution/geometry - it look like it was made so it looks good on screen - the shaders smooth out the facets - this is what commonly happens while rendering and you have smooth shading turned off - I see this in a lot of prints - basically you can use zbrush to retopo and add more of the missing data with more resolution..
- since the second female model doesn't have the faceting thing going on .. and the black vase no facets
- there are I think other retopo tools, but maybe they are not obvious in the 3d printing pipeline
- commonly you can subdivide meshes that are made in low poly, give them 2x the resolution, and make them smoother easily, but for models made with cad software, the output has to be in a really finer mesh..
- maybe there are limits to the data size, to which I'm not aware so far - it's a pity cause I think you can get double the smoothness on that rocket easily
- or maybe it's the .step data for instance - is how the printer software interprets it, at a lower res.. then you should output .stl which is more fixed, since it's like .obj, but outputted with higher res settings..
- anyway, it is obvious it's good to know how to prepare good prints with some 3d software (blender is free and can do a lot to fix those issues) - it's like when you should use photoshop to get better
prints out..
- nice review, the black filament looks awesome
I absolutely love the factual information you give mate! I'm just buying the machine on your review and I know I'll be happy with my purchase
I always like to see your videos, can you please make video tutorials series on 3d printing for beginners
I do! Look at some of my fusion 360 tutorials!
as of 2021 do you still believe this is the best machine to buy under $500?
This printer is not as good as you are trying to project.
Things people should know about this printer.
1) they ship it out with warped glass beds. So your need a new flat one. about £30
2) there is only one z axes lead screw leaving the other side to move. So your need a Z axis lead screw update about £35
If your lucky this will do the job and your now ready for some quality prints, But if like a lot of others your now have the clicking extruder stepping motor to sort out.
Hope it is not as bad as the prusa shipping (6-8 Months out) for machine and or parts which make it not a good machine to own.
i reeeeally want a prusa but that wait time is quite disheartening.
This video convinced me to get one. It's 2020 now and this printer is STILL AMAZING! >:D I've printed out some really cool things so far! I actually just bought some glow-in-the-dark filament so I can print something pretty unique for my next video! lol
Great Review I knew the CR-10 was a winner when I did not have any nightmares at all and other than tweaking the bed it has not let me down ! NOTE: Not fair Joel we are all full of crap-use a different analogy.....LOl As Always Happy Extruding
cheers, you convinced me to just buy one.
hey I want to 3d print to sell scalable goods online, what should I buy?
I am thinking about finally getting into 3d printing after waiting for the technology to get better and cheaper, But i am torn between the CR-10s , The Lulzbot Mini, and the Flashforge Creator Pro. I mostly want to start printing props like movie/game replicas and such. Do you have any recommendations on which printer i should get? It does not have to actually be one of these 3 if you know of a better printer, my price point is teetering around the 1000$ mark and these just seem to be the popular ones.
" This will be my first printer, but keep in mind i am quite a tech savvy person so i should be able to learn fairly fast, i don't need what is necessarily the easiest printer. "
Have you heard anything about the Creality CR-5? I can't find reviews anywhere, but it seems to be advertised as a more accurate CR-10, also has the enclosed case. Says it can print copper, and many more materials.
Thanks for the review, high five
Is there any update on the best 3D Printer? Is it still the best?
Thanks for the video can anyone tell me what is wattage does it use?!??? Because I live in place with not reliable electricity that usually in midnight we have power outages. So trying to know its wattage usage and choose the fitting ups.
Do you think that I should buy this printer off banggood? I’m not sure I trust it but it is much cheaper then off gearbeast...
