This is a fantastic printer for the price! To get a printer and a CFS for $400 is a great deal. I come from the original Ender 3 and this printer was way easier to setup and run. My only complaint is how loud it is. Mostly the CFS gear noises. On the printer itself the little trimmer vibrate causing noise when the z goes up and down. And the actual cutting of the purged filament is the loudest part. All loud enough that you would not want to sleep in the same room. It's a little disappointing how much table top space the whole setup takes up. I did have an issue with a loose y axis table, but creaky tool care of it and got it replaced. For the price, it's a great buy. Read more

Recibida en Manizales - Colombia en menos de una semana luego de la compra. Ya llevo varios días usando la impresora Creality Hi combo. De entrada se ve bien ensamblada y con la mayoría de componentes "ocultos". La pantalla touch funciona adecuadamente aunque es pequeña. Comparada con otras impresoras se ve mejor terminada y estable. Estas son algunas de las apreciaciones que tengo hasta hoy: 1- Velocidad de impresión. He trabajado con otras impresoras FDM como CR6SE, Flashforge, y este aspecto ha mejorado mucho. En la Creality Hi estoy logrando impresiones de 1-2 horas que en la CR6SE me toman 6-7 horas. Sin embargo esta velocidad incrementa muchísimo la vibración de la máquina y cómo la transmite a la mesa donde esté ubicada, por ello se debe buscar una estructura muy sólida y estable. 2- Posición del CFS. Con los cables incluidos, el CFS solo puede ubicarse al lado derecho de la impresora, si uno desea una configuración diferente es muy complejo por la longitud reducida de dichos cables. 3- Ruido: La impresora es bastante ruidosa debido a la velocidad que maneja, al igual que el CFS cuando hace avance o retroceso de filamentos. Cuando se está trabajando en multicolor y la boquilla hace las purgas, el sonido de golpe es muy fuerte, sin embargo eso es lo que garantiza la limpieza de la boquilla. 4- Compatibilidad con materiales locales: He ensayado varios filamentos PLA disponibles localmente (farbicados en Colombia, importados, etc) y es importante revisar el tamaño del carrete. Algunos son pequeños y no alcanzan a hacer contacto con la tapa superior del CFS y eso hace que el equipo, al tratar de devolver el filamento, patine y genere problemas. En una de esas la impresora me generó un error. Tampoco se deben colocar rollos de cartón, porque seguramente el CFS lo mastica. También es muy importante indicar tanto en el software de corte como en la pantalla cuando se cargan los filamentos, que son PLA genérico, porque cuando esto no se hace, se generan problemas de atasco de material. 5- Firmware. Cuando compré la impresora solamente tenía disponible los idiomas inglés y chino. Al otro día hubo una primer actualización solo de versión. Hace una semana aprox. hubo una nueva actualización y allí aparecieron varios idiomas, entre ellos español. No se si eso tuvo que ver, pero desde ese momento es que han aparecido algunas fallas. Al revisar cada error o falla, la descripción que se encuentra en internet es mínima o casi nula, por lo cual la solución de las mismas es gracias a la experiencia ganada con otras máquinas anteriores. Hubo un error que me llamó mucho la atención y es que la cámara tiene una pequeña tapa que se gira para abrirla. Si esa tapa se deja a medio camino, o sea, no se lleva hasta el final, entonces el cabezal en su recorrido del eje X puede chocar con ella y no tocar el sensor. Y eso genera error en pantalla y parada de la impresión. 6- Todavía no he revisado la "facilidad" que tenga para poder acceder a las correas de desplazamiento, para temas de limpieza, tensionamiento, etc, que son necesarios para darle mantenimiento a la impresora, pero de entrada viendo casi todo cerrado y que el eje X trae la cámara en un extremo y en el otro el dispositivo de purga, puedo imaginar que cualquier operación que en otras impresoras es fácil y cotidiana aquí será algo compleja. 7- Software: también he tenido ya 2 actualizaciones del software, he leído mucha gente quejarse de éste, pero si usted ha sido usuario de cura slicer, u orca slicer, verá que es muy similar. Hasta el momento me ha funcionado bien y he podido realizar las operaciones de soportes, costuras, colores, etc sin ningún inconveniente. En términos generales me parece que la impresora funciona muy bien, la calidad de impresión es muy buena (dependiendo de las configuraciones empleadas) tanto en impresión a un color como en multicolor (aunque ahí el desperdicio es una cosa bárbara). Creo que se puede recomendar para personas que tengan algo de conocimiento en impresión 3D y que no se asusten cuando la impresora saca algún error (porque me ha tocado ver esas situaciones en muchísimos equipos de todas las marcas). Más adelante estaré actualizando esta reseña... Read more

My first 3D printer, and it just works After much comparison shopping I settled on the Creality HI Combo. Arrival and assembly: As a first time 3D printer novice I was pleasantly surprised at how well the printer was packaged. Assembly was straight forward, insert the gantry, secure six screws, connect a few well marked connectors and it was done in probably less than 10 minutes. Adding the CFS was also simple, The only question was which cable went into which port. As it turned out it didn't matter, but it would have been helpful to eliminate any confusion by providing information on this part. Placement of the CFS feeder also left a little too much to imagination. If I were to do it again, I would place the part a little lower on the side of the gantry (with the boudin tube coming out about mid point on the gantry). Overall a very sturdy piece of equipment. First startup: Turning on the printer and waiting for it to go through its initial startup process was fairly lengthy (I can only guess because I have no previous printer for comparison) but since it is only a one time event, it is what it is. The only issue was the printer runs through its complete diagnostics, then goes out to look for any updates. Of course it finds an update, installs it and then because it is updated it goes through the complete diagnostics a second time. I would think it would look for updates first then run diagnostics just once (It is a new toy and I was anxious to start playing). First run: I dispensed with running the standard tug boat test and proceeded directly to printing things I would actually use. Creality Print Software: I have no other slicer to make comparison, however I find the slicer fairly easy to work with, though not fully intuitive. There are many features and options to customize your projects some come with pop ups that briefly describe what the feature does, some are more cryptic, maybe it is just because I am new to the hobby. Some features have no pop up instructions, so I will just leave them at the default until I am more knowledgeable. 2 weeks of use: over the past two weeks I have printed 36 projects. The shortest was 8:13, and the longest was 8:18:27, with a total run time for all projects at 52:54:51. I printed 14 multicolor projects all with no errors or failures. The only change I made to the default settings was to change the layer height from 0.2mm to 0.12mm. This makes very nice prints with no apparent layer lines. Materials used for my projects: As a new comer I have only been using Creality filaments. Mostly Hyper-PLA, but also CR-Silk, and CR-PLA. Summary: As a new hobbiest, I am pleased with this purchase I find the addition of the CFS combo makes this a pleasure to operate. I would purchase this again , and would recommend it to others. My only issue is I would like Creality to provide a comprehensive user manual to include recommendations on maintenance and service items that I need to do to maintain the printer. This could be a PDF on their web site. Also I have not been able to figure out how to register the printer with Creality. Read more

Excellent product but requires attention. Read more

Couple hiccups here and there but this printer is a beast Read more

To Whom It May Concern, I purchased the Creality hi Combo with the CFS at the end of May with the intention of using it for multi-color printing. I initially planned to purchase the Bambu Lab A1 Combo, but opted for this unit under the assumption it would be a smoother transition, since I already own the Ender V3 KE and am familiar with Creality’s slicer and app ecosystem. That assumption turned out to be completely wrong. From the very beginning, this printer has been plagued with problems. Every print came out misaligned by several layers. After numerous resets and calibrations, I discovered the drive belt was completely loose—nowhere in the instruction manual does it mention that this needs to be manually tensioned. That is an unacceptable omission for a printer at this price point. After manually adjusting the belt, the printer began working—briefly. Now it violently slams the print head into the endstop after purging filament, making an extremely loud, damaging sound. On top of that, any print longer than three hours results in fault code FO0528, stating the printer is printing without extruding. I’ve tested extrusion manually and confirmed that it functions, yet the fault continues. Even worse, after clearing the fault and attempting to resume the print, it lifts the hot end too high and completely fails to adhere to the previous layer. The result? Wasted filament, wasted time, and a canceled print—again and again. The only workaround I’ve found is to remove the CFS system entirely and print with the filament directly on the printer, which defeats the entire point of buying the combo in the first place. I have tried every piece of troubleshooting advice I can find online and in the manual (which, frankly, is minimal and poorly written). Still, the issues persist. And what’s worse: there is no customer service number for the manufacturer, and your Amazon-provided warranty doesn’t take effect until the manufacturer’s warranty ends. So in reality, I paid extra for a warranty I can’t even use when I need it most. This entire experience has been nothing short of infuriating. I have wasted a tremendous amount of money—not only on the printer but on failed prints, wasted filament, and countless hours of my time. At this point, I feel scammed by both Creality and Amazon. This is the worst experience I’ve had with any tech product, and it’s made me seriously question the value of Amazon Prime. I would have been far better off purchasing from a reputable retailer like Micro Center, where they actually offer a real warranty, support, and a no-hassle return or exchange policy. I expect a full resolution immediately. That means either: • A replacement printer that actually works, • A full refund, or • Escalated support from a real human being with the authority to fix this. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to file a formal complaint and pursue this further. I refuse to be left stuck with a broken product and a useless warranty. I await your immediate response Read more

What an amazing printer the print quality is next level and it functions and ease of assembly are great for the value of the printer, will recommend buying 100%. Read more

I built my first 3D printer, an Anet A8M, so this is the first “ready to wear” printer for me. Out of the box, setup was quick and easy. I did a standard Benchy, for the first print out of the box, with default settings and compared to the Anet it is impressive. Print time was 40 minutes, compared to 72, for the Anet. No Z-banding. Circles were round, surfaces smooth, and overhangs clean - no warping or sag. Construction is solid. I don’t have a vibration tester, but shaking at the top of the gantry felt the same as at the base. Startup is simple, though it takes several minutes to go through the initial homing, bed-leveling, and initialization. You quickly learn the process for starting a new print. I had forgot to order filament spools, so I was unable to test the multi-color feed. The pause function is a lifesaver, though I wish it had the ability to rewind, by layers. Because I forgot filament, after the sample filament ran out I had to hand-feed scraps and filament from my 3D pen. As a result I didn’t realize I accidentally fed it ABS until the 3rd layer started peeling from the PLA. I was able to pause it, peel off the ABS, and feed more PLA, but because I couldn’t “rewind” 3 layers, the gap was too great for the new PLA to adhere to the old. In the end, it’s a great first-time 3D printer for someone who doesn’t have the knowledge and skill to build their own and just wants to print. Read more

TL:DR Both the printer and CFS are DOA. Creality support is MIA. As the owner of two Ender 3 V3 KEs, a K1 Max, and a K2 Plus, I've put a good deal of faith in Creality. This is not how I expected to be rewarded. Long version: I've been a long-time faithful for Creality. In addition to the four currently in my farm, I've had several other Creality printers. DOAs happen. Being unable to get a response from support is unacceptable. I've had my K2 Plus since January and I still haven't gotten a response from support after several attempts to resolve issues that are over three months old now! Now this printer errors out of initial startup and the CFS won't feed through the 5-way when tested on my K2 Plus! Creality, I love your mod-ability and availability, but this can't stand. If this is the new normal, Creality, I will reluctantly start shopping for other options. My patience is wearing thin with you after the previous issues and lack of communication. This DOA was very costly to my side-hustle, and the time I'm going to have to spend documenting these failures for the return to Amazon, repacking the printer, and returning it is insult to injury.

Great printer. More accurate, easier to use, and almost automatic compared to earlier models by other manufactures that I've owned. The software is also great, and very advanced. Read more

I have had others issues with other retailers with great customer support however Creality helped me with my issue when I got the printer. I have over 120 hours of great printing quality and very pleases with Creality customer support. Please don't believe others reviews when it comes to the service of Creality the are very empathetic and resolved my issue in a timely manner. Thanks Creality!!!! Read more

Amazing and fast! This is the best 3D printer I have tried. I have only had one error out of 20 + prints and it was my fault. Read more

It prints fine albeit off center, none of the usual tricks works to fix it. I can use it, but large prints that need the the whole bed are off limits to me right now. Creality tech support isn’t helpful. Read more

It came nicely packed and on expected delivery. But after following the directions and putting together it isn’t leveling and it jams moving up and down on the left side. It makes a horrible grinding sound and just sticks. I’m lost on what to do or how to fix the issue. Read more

I am pleased with the ease of use and print quality. There is a learning curve, but overall great setup. Read more

I have used it to make about 10 items so farand all of them have prinded without a problem. Still learning about it and how it worked over the Ender 3v2. So far i give it a 5 star. Read more
