Creality CR-10 Max 3D printer review - all you need to know

[@Creality3D]

Awesome video and we will continue to improve :)

[@rayan2770]

Creality hi

[@blackjacko]

Have you solved the thermal runaway issue, on the ones selling today? Only thing holding me back from buying

[@bojongarage9407]

This machine is a junk kit. Problem after problem. Creality is a scam. Only response on this fire hazard is "contact tomorrow".

[@Vladlabs]

You guys already do a very great job for the community for the price! Lower priced machines help push the whole industry big time!

[@jenspetersen5865]

Maybe if you want to improve you should make CR10 Max so it homes the bed and actually works. It would be wonderful as well if you actually answered support requests so a quite expensive printer could actually be used. It is absolutely unacceptable that there is no help available. While the CR10S burns the control cards, the only problem free Creality printer is the Ender 3 Pro.

[@cameroningle6782]

The good thing about your reviews is you show that almost every printer has the potential to be good if assembled and used correctly. The same cannot be said about all reviewers, which is why your channel is so good

[@stevesloan6775]

Man that was easily one of the best 3d printer reviews I’ve seen. There’s nothing like a quick fix. One of the fundamental teaching principles is to design in mistakes for the student too solve. Again excellent work. 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀😎🤓

Thank you so much Steve 😎👍😁

[@rylar4663]

This was an excellent review. I appreciate the time spent focusing on simple fixes as well. I hope Creality watches this video and incorporates similar fixes into their updates.

[@gaylamawith2dicks]

This channel is underappreciated imo. You make some of the best and informative videos on 3D printing!

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

2021, May: Don't remember where I have seen it but was available for less than $500. 2 QUESTIONS: - Is the controller board a 32 bit? or 8bit as on the previous Creality models? - where does it fall for noise level? not a value, but a comparison to other silent machines... THIS PRESENTATION!!! To the point, no fluff, no stupid jokes, pacy, thorough, with injected experience... I challenge anyone to match this level of presentation/review... I had seen another review which basically talked me out of this machine... after seeing this one, it is obvious the other presentation was made by one who lacked understanding and failed the machine rather than the other way'round.

[@trevstrucknrc7010]

Thanks after watching this I removed the frame rails and stuck them onto a fire blanket then cut them out. Amazing even thermal Temps over bed after doing that. Great video

[@TomandDarci]

Excellent review and the fixes were ingenious.

[@NexiTech]

Thank you very much.

[@Sylarn79]

Fantastic review, this video sold me on this printer and the recommended fixes are very much appreciated. Awesome job Nexi

Awesome review man :) Still super happy with the CR10-S4 u sold me!

[@NexiTech]

Glad to hear that my friend, thanks for comment! Best Regards :)

[@themystx2]

In 2021, a few of the issues you had with your printer were not present on my CR-10 Max; the wiring across the X gantry does not sag below the print anymore, it was well above the nozzle, also the wiring out of the back on the Y axis was not short on mine, there were plenty of slack and I saw no reason for concern. HOWEVER, the aluminum extrusions on bottom were definitely not improved; I went ahead and did the fix you showed in your video prior to assembly. Thanks again!

[@NexiTech]

Thank you for the information. Best regards man!

[@themystx2]

@@NexiTech I had that Y axis ringing you did in your video, did the exact same thing, put it on the floor and my ringing is gone, with the Z banding about 95% fixed; guessing that last 5% is tweaking the flow (had to do this on my Ender 3). Thanks again for your video it was a lifesaver!

[@Skott62]

Hi Nexi. I was wondering if you still have the CR-10 MAX and how well its holding up? Update video maybe? Thanks!

[@aqhan]

The assembly process for this printer is amazingly simple, I see. I just got the Creality Ender 3 V2 and it took nearly 2 hours to get it assembled.

[@astro7996]

Excellent review! You figured out the problems and improved your results greatly. Quality review as usual. Thanks.

Very informative. I was sold on the CR10-S pro, but after watching this I think I'll save up a little extra money and go big.

[@jesse_giovanni]

7/10 video review. You covered almost everything but not everything. You went into deep detail and did extra work no one does 😂

[@thehappyextruder7178]

Another Great recap Nexi, your quick fix suggestions are always spot on continued success and best regards !

[@NexiTech]

Always nice to see you in comment section my friend. Thank you so much for nice words and best regards! 👍😊

[@OlivierSuire]

Excellent review. Yet at 14:19 , I think that the insulation on the aluminium stiffener defeats their purpose because their rigidity doesn't benefit the bed anymore...

[@leisphang2370]

Your video and detailed explanations helped me a lots on my CR10 Max

[@AndrewAHayes]

This is a great review video, I am so glad you printed things that take advantage of the build volume and the fixes to the problems!

[@NexiTech]

Thank you very much for your comment and positive feedback.

[@ElektrotekSolutions]

Great review - especially great fix on bed stiffener extrusion insulation. That sure was elegant! Your fix for the cable dragging on the bed was excellent too! Thanks so much for sharing these tips.

[@NexiTech]

[@cbrunhaver]

I love that your reviews are also very good upgrade guides.

[@NexiTech]

[@harrisonaero]

Fantastic review- one of the BEST I've seen for any printer. Most likely will get a Max based on this review. Nice job.

[@NexiTech]

Thank you so much for such a nice and positive comment. Best regards!

[@andyb5052]

Any chance on a link of the files to the filament guide you showed in the video. I have found with my new max that it was way better to take the spool off the top rail and move it to the bench below and the filament guide would be perfect for this. By moving the spool below and off the top frame, it reduced the overall vibration in the machine greatly. Thanks Andy

[@BuhdaPunk]

Thanks again for the resonance issue portion. Might try pouring a 2" thick concrete table top for the printer stand.

[@dontbeje11y]

Would you mind doing an updated video on this printer? I use this video once a week while printing with this printer. And would love a new video of upgrades and what not!

[@jonmaster2143]

Hi at 13:47 you mentioned installation column sheet, what material is that?? Thanks

[@NexiTech]

Insulation cotton, you have the link in video description. Cheers!

[@jonmaster2143]

@@NexiTech thanks matey. 3 more questions if you dont mind 1.) when you print the grout do you have to use any support for the head when printing? 2.) When you use 0.8mm nozzle, why do you use 0.6mm thickness instead of 0.8mm, not sure if 0.8mm thickness is possible? Sorry for these questions, I'm just beginning to get into 3d printing 3.) Do you recommend using 10% feel for the first large model print or what would be the possible minimum required % filling?

[@Gwiennn]

Hey Nexi, thanks to this video i just bought and installed my cr10 max. 3d printing is all new to me and this is my first printer. I've followed your tips with the insulation cotton and the flower stick haha. Could you maybe give me some tips (or make a cr10 max tutorial) on the best way to use this printer? My main question for example is how did you decide the offset for the Z-axis and what print settings work best for this printer?

[@ktm890rsweden5]

Hej Nexi I own a 10 max and was trying to do the noctua fan upgrade but my power supply has 2 fans and each has 3 wires and every time I install the noctua fan my hot bed stops warming as soon I go back to Creality fans all is fine again

[@ktm890rsweden5]

Plz help bra

[@danielegger1]

Awesome video, awesome prints! Could you share your Simplify3D profile as I the prints on my 10S Pro look way worse then yours, I thought the Creawsome Cura profile is good, but man, your‘s is way better

[@DrekeXorn13]

Fantastic review, I've seen dozens from many KZbinrs and this was one of the best. This engineer is impressed with your solutions!

[@RoadRashSpirit]

Great Video with lots of Brilliant tips. was wandering if you would do a slicer video for the settings you used with different nozzles. I have just received the CR10 Max. I printed the elephant example great, but cant get my own models to stick to the bed. It almost seems as if the nozzle is too high and wont push the first layer into the build tack. Im using the creality slicer.

[@alextutusaus]

Wow man, thanks for the vid! You brought hope again! :D

[@mactastic144]

People should start saying where they get their printers from since each printer from different vendors is going to be different considering how many suppliers fix 3D printers they receive from the manufacturer of the 3D printer.

[@aggronn]

Dear god, epic review and prints

[@NexiTech]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@JoniK1]

Hi, great review! I had to check out your channel and this is the 3D printer I've been thinking of buying. Mainly for car stuff so ABS may be the best option? Or at least that is the material used usually. Do I need an enclosure? I'm fairly new to 3D printing 😃

Could you do a review of the Crelaity CR-X 3D printer? Awesome vids!

[@AmusementLabs]

My only gripe is that with the new improvements over the Pro you now have to buy the max, which for most is WAAAY too big and sips far too much power. I wish they had a version that has those improvements, but is the same size as the Pro.

[@drboltzuk]

I changed out my .4 for a .8 and was dissapointed by the quality, of course the lines are more prominent. I reverted to the .4 and decided to live with the loooooooooong print time for large prints..

Graeat review video. Thanks to your video I just bought one yesterday because I need that print size and your great video took me out the insecurities. But I have a question. Which slicer you use? Because i just downloaded Cura and I didn’t see the peofile for this one. Can you help me out with this please?

[@NexiTech]

Thank you my mate, I'm glad that my video help you out. I use Simplified 3D. In CURA you can use Cr10 or Cr10S4 printing profile as well. Just go to the machine settings and edit/increase machine size to 450x450x470mm

[@BobPulgino]

Nexi Tech What about the startup gcode - don’t you need to embed gcode to invoke the auto-bed leveling at the start of each print? I use PrusaSlicer.

Great review (as usual). I just got this printer, but do not have time to open it. I hope that Creality did the modifications you recommended. Now, only thing is that I plan to have it on my desk (that I made myself) so hope that there will be no need for it to be on the floor.

[@BIGDW-ie8st]

I was just wandering if there is any chance you could do a review on the CR10s pro V2?

[@NexiTech]

I already reviewed CR10s PRO and CR10s PRO V2 has only Bltouch instead of capacitive sensor probe and better resolution LCD. It's basically the same 3D printer with identical print quality.

[@BIGDW-ie8st]

@@NexiTech Also one more thing does the CR10s pro V2 have thermal runaway protection? And thanks for info.

[@BIGDW-ie8st]

@@NexiTech When you first opened the box did you find any residue in the little box of accessories? The reason I'm asking, is my CR10s pro nV2 just came in today and I found some residue in there. It was mainly in the little bag of leveling tools. If you could tell me what it is that would be great.

[@javialonso6952]

Very good video, which printer would you recommend the anycubic chiron or this Creality CR-10 Max? Thanks

[@viktoribanez91]

Great review and fixes! What "slicer" program are you using? I am getting my CR-10 max tomorrow and downloaded "Creality slicer" but I can't find the CR-10 max in the program.

[@bstienwand]

Any chance you could give me the footprint specs like front to back and width on where the feet are? i need the minimum length and width for it to sit on a table. Trying to build a table for it and don't have it yet.

[@bakhteria]

great review. Can I upgrade the hotend to an all metal hotend and if so what would you recommend? are the parts interchangeable with other cr10 printers?

[@thewellbeingc9258]

Interesting review and awesome quality models. 70C/0 means initial layer printing temperature 70, then you put the bed off ?

[@NexiTech]

Thank you! Yes that's correct.

[@KevOXO]

I enjoyed watching your review (NO fast forward) after almost two years of use, what do you think about it? Does it still work, have you added any modifications to it? I am sorry if you did further testing with this and I have not watched them yet, well worth a subscribe and bell.

[@mouqarnasdesign9607]

thank you for the video. wich slicer program you have used ? people says the result is not good if you dont use creality123 slicer? is it true? have ever test it? wich slicer you recommend for 10 max

[@eliavedri7876]

I've been watching your videos for a while and seeing how you find solutions to problems without much effort, and then I ask myself, what prevents the engineers from finding these problems and fixing them the way you do? When you buy a product at such a high price you expect it to work properly without "necessary upgrades" BTW... I want to buy a new printer, around $ 500 maybe even mor ... Any recommendation? So far I am debating between the cr10s and the cr10s pro. I'm open to more recommendations besides these two models :)

[@davidpupu]

Good video. What slicer do u use. Can u share the cr 10 max profile u use on those prints

Is there a heated bed up grade to get a better heat on the bed ?

[@atchoum981]

Hi ! Thanks for your instructive video. Does your noctua fan swap video on the CR-10 work for the MAX ? If I'm right, the MAX is an extended+ version of the CR-10, right ? Is the process the same ? Thanks ! :)

[@davidbutcher6637]

Hi where is the insulation from for the bars under the bed also could you add a seperate ac heated bed mat like others to get the bed up to 135 is this needed and an enclosure for better abs and polycarbonate prints ? thanks David NZ

[@NexiTech]

David Butcher If you going with the AC silicon heater then I would replace the aluminum heated bed with the custom cuted thick tempered glass. Any glass cutting store should be able to make you one glass sheet for cheap price. That would fixed any aluminum/temperature warping problem and you could have nice and flat huge tempered glass bed with AC silicon heated under it.

[@rickb1444]

Great review! Thanks! I was not considering the Max until I saw your review. The price is high, though. If I find a discount code, I may purchase one! I will own one if I can get the price down to $799. I will strongly consider it if I can get it for $899. Thanks again for the review!
