Creality Products - 4 years of experience
I purchased my first Creality Printer (CR10S pro) in Mid 2021. Easy to set up and use - yes I had a few printing failures and mishaps but, either immediately or on reflection the vast majority of these were my fault. I've modified the printer with a magnetic heater bed cover, better hot end, a hotter print bed and a thermal enclosure.It took a little while to come to grips with the Creality Slicer software but these days it rarely is a problem. I've printed a lot of stuff with it going through several hundred rolls of printer filament. I still use it mainly to print with TPU. Overall I would rate my experience with this printer 8/10 but could see a non-technical people rating it lower. My next purchase was a Creality Otter Scanner in mid 2024, I haven't used it that much as it's taken me some time to upgrade my computer as this scanner generates huge files and needs a fast high capacity computer. I'm now driving it with a MacBook Pro with the M4 Max cCPU, with 64Gb of RAM and a 2 TB HD. It's tricky to use - certainly not as easy as the Youtube videos show. But I have managed to do useful things with it as I get the hang of requirements. I would rate my experience with this at 7/10. Recently I purchase a Creality K2 Plus printer with the CFS. Again very fast and easy to setup and when it prints it's fast and produces very smooth prints. Most of my problems have been with the CFS with both major CFS problems inadvertently caused by me. My main problems with the heater has been lack of adhesion of the print to the bed but I think I have that sussed now. I have exchanged several dozen emails with Creality about these problems. Their response has been fast, courteous and helpful they are very willing to send all manner of spare parts in an attempt to solve problems. This printer still has too many potential problems for a raw printer newbie unless they are technically minded. Mostof teh issues are with the CFS. Once again I would rate my overall experience at 8/10 with this printer, and 9/10 with Creality in attempting to solve problems.
