  • Good price.

  • Whats this like compared with the 3D printer that aldi sells sometimes?

    • +3

      In short, the main difference is that the CR-10 has a bigger build area. From memory most other capabilities are about the same - the ALDI is a re-badged Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd5EvrnQC5Q - Watch all of Angus' videos =)).

      I consider the CR-10 like a Volkswagen (Volksprinter?) style 3D printer - loads of people have one hence loads of parts/support/upgrades. It's quite capable of beautiful prints, especially with PLA, but it's not perfect (Manual bed levelling, so so temperature bed, etc =)).

    • +1

      The major differences are:
      a) The Cocoon Create is a lot more compact than this CR-10
      b) The CR-10 has a substantially larger build area, so it can print much larger objects in a single print.
      c) The CR-10 is a kit, which needs to be built from individual components. The Cocoon printer is in 3 or 4 pieces so it's much easier and faster to put together and get working.
      d) The latest Cocoon model has a user-friendly touchscreen interface. The CR-10 has a more basic coder-knob interface, although it can be upgraded with an aftermarket touchscreen for around $50.

      Like most cheap Chinese kit-build 3D printers, a certain amount of perseverance and trouble-shooting is required to get the CR-10 working well. It's very likely that it will take many hours of tweaking and tuning before you get a print you're happy with. You will probably need assistance from internet sources (Youtube videos or forums) and may also need to do things like some minor soldering or update the firmware. It's not for the faint-hearted.

      In contrast, the Cocoon printer is much more geared towards consumers with no hardware or programming knowledge, and will very quickly be up and running well. But it's far more limited in both size and possible upgrades.

      • I disagree. Assembly is reportedly dead easy (just look at it, it's no Prusa clone!). There are simplify 3d profiles (and probably cura) on its facebook group, meaning calibration is probably not even necessary. From all reports, this is a pretty easy kit to use for a novice. I wish I had it.

        • Assembly is not as difficult as some other kits (like many of the Prusa clones) since the major components are partially assembled and the control board wiring is already done. But some care will still be required to make sure the frame is assembled square, that the pre-assembled parts are actually tightened down, and completing the wiring. It's nowhere near as easy as the Cocoon, which is pretty much plug and play after a couple screws.

          I can guarantee that calibration and a certain amount of tuning settings in the slicer program are still required for good results - the profiles provided are a good starting point but they're not going to be set-and-forget.

        • @klaw81:

          In the review I saw he had awesome results with PLA and an unmodified Simplify3D profile. Unless they are going and individually making calibration profiles for every Cocoon they make, there is actually no more calibration required for the CR-10 vs the Cocoon.

          You're right that the Cocoon is easier. But I think the CR-10 is easy enough that you'd be crazy to choose the Cocoon over it (if price was not a factor in your decision). Most lego kits are harder to put together than this thing.

          (Not that the Cocoon create isn't a solid printer btw, just considering the features of this one).

  • Keen to know if anyone can comment on how this printer would handle TPU?

    • +1

      Stock printer ? - not well - however you can print a different extruder part (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2144277), fit it with a small section of PTFE tube (spare comes with printer) and it is supposed to do fine. Having said that, if it doesn't absolutely have to be TPU there are flexible PLA filaments that print ok on a Bowden extruder style setup.

  • this printer looks awesome… I'd love to replace my anet a8 with it but I dont know if I can justify it.

    Also payday is Wednesday. Anyone know when the coupon expires?

    $10 cheaper ($470.40 ) for the TEVO tornado , which is a clone with better heatbed and extruder. Huge tevo community on facebook prints multiple fillaments well ( not just PLA ) only downside is its relatively new so not us much of a comunity as creality

    Personally i think the creality is overhyped its got good rep but overhyped

      • Thats showing as AU $588.85 so not $10 cheaper?

        • +2

          Don`t forget that has the Ebay 20% off.

        • see bargain boys post below your comment

      • I don't know how to 3d print but want to learn. Would this be good to get?

        • yes maybe creality ( if youve never 3d printed before ) as it has a bigger user base ( see facebook ) so can help you with any problems you will likely encounter. Also minimal assembly

  • Goddamn. I wish I could afford this at the moment.
