If you’re looking for a 3D printer for either hobby or business use, it’s hard to go wrong with one of Creality’s 3D printers. In this article, we’ll explain why we recommend Creality printers. We’ll also tell you about the differences between the various models in the Creality 3D printer lineup to help you decide which one is best for you.

The main reason we choose Creality 3D printers is because they offer an impressive level of quality and reliability at a great price. As part of our 3D printing business 3DPros, we operate over a dozen Creality printers nearly continuously. We’ve been continually impressed at the reliability of the printers and have had to make very few repairs even with 24/7 operation. For our business, having a printer failure is a major issue that affects our ability to fill orders for our customers, so we’re motivated to find reliable printers that won’t let us down.

The out-of-box experience with the Creality printers is another strong point in their favor. We started with 3D printing in the days when you had to assemble a printer from a kit and spend days calibrating it to get acceptable prints. Those days are behind us. In our experience, it takes less than an hour to set up a new Creality printer and do the basic calibration steps before trying a test print. These printers work out of the box with very little calibration, which will allow you to get great print quality without spending all of your free time making adjustments. Newer models ship almost fully assembled and you can usually be printing in under 15 minutes.

Finally, if you are looking to print large, Creality has the best large format offerings of any consumer 3D printer brand. While these printers do cost substantially more than the smaller entry-level printers, they are much more affordable than other large format printers, which are primarily targeted for the business space.

Creality offers a number of different 3D printers, and it can take some time to find the one that is best for you. In general, build volume is a great first step in narrowing down your search. We have organized the 3D printers into categories to help you determine which one will fit your needs best. In each category, we’ll discuss the various choices and help you make the best decision.

This article focuses on Creality’s FDM 3D printers; if you are interested in 3D printing with resin, you’ll want to refer to ouroverview of Creality’s resin 3D printers. If you aren’t sure what the difference is between these technologies, read our Filament vs. Resin article to get an overview and learn which one is a better fit for you.

If you’re just getting into 3D printing or if price is an important factor in your decision, an entry-level Creality printer will be a good choice. Entry-level machines have a smaller build volume and a lower price--it’s not always better to get a more expensive machine! We actually use a number of these machines for our professional 3D printing business because we can run several of them at once to produce parts in parallel.

TheCreality Ender 3 V2 Neo (View on Amazon) is our top pick for an entry level 3D Printer because it comes standard with many modern features while keeping within a budget price range.The Ender 3 series of printers has become very popular since their introduction, and for good reason. They’re very affordable and offer excellent print quality. With a 220 x 220 x 250 mm (X, Y, Z) print volume, they’re still large enough to print models and small parts, and won’t take up too much space on a desk.

The V2 Neo model adds several improvements to the classic Ender 3, including auto bed leveling, silent motor drivers, an improved print bed surface, and a color LCD display. The Ender 3 V2 Neo was released in 2022 as the next iteration of the Ender 3 V2, which was our previous recommendation. Additionally, the Ender 3 Neo is shipped almost fully assembled, so you can get it set up and running in about 15 minutes.

The Ender 3 V2 Neo added auto bed leveling, a metal extruder, and a Steel magnetic bed for a modest $40 increase in price, which is well worth it (an auto bed leveling upgrade alone will typically cost $50).

The Ender 3 V2 Neo typically comes in at around $80-100 more than the Ender 3, but we think it’s well worth the added cost. With its modern features and improved design, this is a premium-feeling printer in an affordable package. It’s one of our top picks for 3D printers in 2022.

The Ender 3 Neo is an updated version of the original Ender 3 which adds a lot of features with only a modest increase in price of about ~$50. The original Ender 3 remains one of the most popular 3D printers on the market, especially for users new to 3D printing. It’s earned its reputation. Its print volume of 220 x 220 x 250mm is a standard size in consumer 3D printers, and it’s compact and easy to fit onto a desk. The Ender 3 is a barebones printer without any frills, but it is one of the lowest cost printers currently on the market, and is easy to upgrade.

The Ender 3 Neo keeps to the same no-frills philosophy with the same rugged chassis and basic LCD, and adds a number of major features:Auto Bed Levelling - previously a feature you would find on only premium 3D printers, the Ender 3 Neo includes CR-touch leveling standard, which makes it much easier to get consistantly successful prints due to a great first layer every time

Carborundum Glass Bed - this is one of our favorite build surfaces because it sticks really well when heated, releases parts easily when cooled, and works reliably without any additions like hairspray. To keep it working well, you’ll just need to wipe it down with a wet cloth every 10-15 prints.

In late 2021, Creality introduced the Ender 3 S1, which packs in a lot of improved features over the Ender 3 V2, but with a substantial increase in price. It’s a 3D printer that has the single body chassis of the Ender 3 series, but with several key upgrades, most notably a fully redesigned Direct Drive extruder.

In 2022, Creality released the even more premium Ender 3 S1 Pro, which adds a touch screen and an all-metal hot-end, which allows you to print a wider variety of materials such as nylon, and improves the reliability of the hotend.

Overall, we feel that the many new features of the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro are worth the price tag if you are looking for a printer that will be easy to use and produce consistent quality without much monitoring. Also, if you are looking to print with flexible or high temperature materials, then the Ender 3 S1’s direct drive extruder and all-metal hotend will perform much better than other printers.

The Creality Ender 5 series offer similar print volume to the Ender 3 series, but use an enclosed frame design for added stability. This reinforced design is intended to reduce vibrations and shaking during printing, which helps avoid some common problems with larger/taller prints, such as Z-wobble. This design also keeps the print bed stationary in the X and Y dimensions.

While the Creality Ender 5 series offers features which should improve print quality, we feel that the Ender 3 series (specifically the Creality Ender 3 V2) provides a better value for most users.

The Creality CR-10 Mini is an older variant of the CR-10 series with a smaller print volume of 300 x 220 x 300mm. We believe the Ender 3 series is better in almost every way. You should only consider the CR-10 Mini if price is a critical factor for you and you need the slightly larger 300 x 220 x 300mm print volume (compared to the 220 x 220 x 250mm print volume on the Ender 3 series).

TheEnder 3 Maxwas released in 2020, and combines the large size of the CR-10 with the lower price point and unibody design of the Ender series. It features an improved power supply, quieter motor drivers, and a durable metal extruder assembly, which we always recommend as an aftermarket upgrade for machines that don’t come with one. It also uses dual part cooling fans, which will ensure that the print is cooled evenly.

The Ender 3 Max can be upgraded with auto leveling, but the process is a bit more difficult than other printers such as the CR-10 V2. The Ender 3 max also has 50mm less of vertical build volume than CR-10 series printers, but we have found that most parts do not require this extra height in our experience.

The Ender 3 Max is our top pick for standard printer since it offers the larger build size of the CR-10 with modern upgrades and a unibody chassis, all at a great price point.

The Creality CR-10was a groundbreaking printer when it was released in 2016, and it still holds up as an excellent machine. Even though many of the other machines on this page offer tangible improvements on the CR-10 design, we think the CR-10 is still a worthwhile purchase when it can be found on sale for cheaper than other printers in Creality’s lineup. However, the standard price of the Ender 3 Max is very similar o the CR-10, and the Ender 3 Max is a much better buy due to its newer features.

If you want a well-built 3D printer with a 300 x 300mm print bed and price is your most important factor, the Creality CR-10 is still an excellent budget choice.

The Creality CR-10 V2is a newer upgrade to the CR-10 and offers a number of notable improvements. It features a reinforced frame and dual Z-axis leadscrews, as well as an improved power supply and quieter motor drivers. It includes a metal extruder assembly, which we always recommend as an aftermarket upgrade for machines that don’t come with one.

The CR-10 V2 also supports some other aftermarket upgrades, such as a probe for auto bed leveling and a direct-drive extruder. While these upgrades aren’t required for general purpose printing, it’s beneficial to have the option of installing them if you choose to.

The Creality CR-10S Pro V2is a major upgrade to the CR-10, and although it costs noticeably more than other standard 3D printers, you get a lot of value for the added cost. The most noticable upgrade is the sleek unibody design, which integrates all of the printer electronics at the base of the machine and eliminates the separate electronics box required on previous CR-10 models. This reduces the desk space needed for the printer. The unibody design also includes a touchscreen UI which is greatly improved over previous CR-10 models.

The CR-10S Pro V2 also includes a dual-gear extruder for added reliability, auto bed leveling, and much quieter motor drivers. These upgrades don’t significantly improve print quality, but they make the machine noticeably more reliable and more pleasant to use.

The Creality CR-10S Pro V2 isn’t a necessary upgrade, but it does provide a number of quality-of-life improvements that you will appreciate if you use your 3D printer heavily.

Note:The V2 version of the CR-10S Pro uses a BLTouch probe for auto-leveling, which is far superior to the inductive sensor used in the V1 version; so make sure you are getting the V2 version before you buy. Our CR-10S Pro was a V1, and we saw a huge improvement in leveling consistency after upgrading it with a BLTouch.

The Creality CR-10S was the first upgraded version of the CR-10 and included a filament runout sensor and dual Z-axis leadscrews as upgrades. We don’t feel that these upgrades are typically worthwhile for the added cost over the CR-10. We recommend that you either save money and purchase the Ender 3 Max, or stretch your budget a bit farther for the CR-10 V2.

One area where Creality really stands out from other 3D printer manufacturers is in the large-format FDM 3D printing category. Their offerings in this category are great machines that are much more affordable than competing options. If your printing needs are larger than the 300 x 300 x 400mm offered by the CR-10 series printers, you’ll want to consider one of these large format machines.

The CR-6 Max was introduced in 2020, and effectively replaces the CR-10 S4, which is no longer being manufactured. The CR-6 Max adds many modern features that were not present on the older CR-10 series:

Strain based auto leveling - The CR-6 series uses a unique strain based leveling system that measures pressure on the nozzle, and actually touches the nozzle to the print surface to level the bed. One thing we didn’t like about this printer is that it does not include leveling wheels, so any larger inconsistencies in the bed require adjusting screws on the top of the bed, under the glass surface. However, the strain based leveling system works well, so you should not need to do this often if at all.

Improved Heated Bed- the 24V power system supports heated platform that can reach temperatures up to 110C. This is a major improvement over the CR-10 S4 which takes a long time to heat up, and cannot reach temperatures above 70C.

Reinforced Frame- Like the CR-10 Max, the CR-6 Max includes two rods to stabilize the tall Z axis, which prevents wobbling and quality issues on tall prints

We feel that the CR-6 Max is a great value for the size and features it provides, and offers most of the features of the CR-10 Max at a lower price point. Note: The CR-6 Max is not currently available on Amazon, and can be purchased from Creality’s official store.

The ender 5 plus is the smallest of Creality’s large format 3D printers, but offers an impressive feature set and 350x350x400 build volume at a great price

The Creality Ender 5 Plus, Like the Ender 5 Pro, uses an enclosed frame design for added stability, but with a larger build volume and BL-touch auto bed leveling. This reinforced design, along with a stationary build plate, reduces vibrations and shaking during printing, which helps avoid quality issues with larger/taller prints. The stationary build plate also allows you to print faster without worrying about the impact on quality due to the large mass of the 3D print moving back an forth.

The biggest sacrifice you’ll make with the Ender 5 Plus versus other large format 3D printers is the build volume. at 350 x 350 x 400 mm, it may not be sufficient for some use cases, but it is still large enough for us to consider it large format. If the size is large enough for your needs, the price point of the Ender 5 Plus is significantly lower than other large format printers. Further, it has many of the nice features of more premium printers, including BLTouch Auto Bed leveling, and a unibody-style controller with touch screen.

The CR-10 Max greatly improves on the design of the CR-10 S4 and S5 by using the new “unibody” design and adding additional reinforcement to the frame. This printer also resolves the heat bed issues from the S4 and S5.

The Creality CR-10 Maxoffers major improvements over the other printers in the large-format category. These features come at a price, but the CR-10 Max is still more affordable than most printers in this category from other manufacturers. At 450x450x500 mm build volume, it offers the largest build volume of Creality’s current lineup (The larger CR-10 S5 is no longer in production)

Similar to the CR-10S Pro V2, it features a unibody design with the printer electronics under the machine. With a printer this large, saving any amount of space is helpful. This also means that the CR-10 Max includes Creality’s touchscreen UI, which makes for a much nicer user experience when operating the machine.

The CR-10 Max includes a number of other important component upgrades, such as a dual-gear metal extruder, reinforced frame, and an improved 24V power supply. However, there are two important upgrades that make this our top pick:BLTouch auto bed leveling - Auto leveling is a nice convenience on smaller printers, but it is a gamechanger on large format printers. Maintaining a level bed gets more difficult as the bed gets larger, and other large format printers without this feature can be difficult to work with

Improved heated bed - The heater on the print bed on the CR-10 Max covers the entire print bed area (in contrast to the CR-10 S5, where it heats only the central 300mm square), and can be heated to 100 degrees Celsius, unlike the CR-10 S4 or S5.

If you need to 3D print large objects and want a large-format option with the most capability, reliability, and build volume, the Creality CR-10 Max is the right choice.

The CR-10 S4 looks like a bigger CR-10, because it is. Although the design is very similar, the S4 gives an additional 100mm of print size in X and Y.

TheCreality CR-10 S4is essentially a larger CR-10. It’s similar to the CR-10 in almost every way, but includes a larger 400 x 400mm print bed, as well as dual Z-axis leadscrews and a filament end sensor. It has proven to be a reliable machine, and the larger 400 x 400mm bed opens up significant options for larger 3D prints.

There are a few downsides to the CR-10 S4. First, since the power supply is 12V, the print bed is incapable of heating beyond approximately 70 degrees Celsius, which makes it impossible to print with ABS and other high-temperature materials on this machine (there is a third-party heat bed available for this machine, which we use and recommend, but it’s a significant added cost). The larger footprint of the machine is also a consideration--you’ll need a fairly large desk or workbench for the S4.

The Creality CR-10 S5is the largest Creality 3D printer, with a print volume of 500 x 500 x 500mm. It’s basically a supersized CR-10 and has a very similar set of features to the original CR-10. If you need to print 500mm objects, the CR-10 S5 is really the only affordable choice, and it’s a good printer that has worked reliably for us.

Second, the S5 can be a bit hard to work with because of how large it is. It has a large footprint that won’t fit on most desks. Bed leveling is also a challenge due to how large the printing surface is. The S5 definitely is not as easy to use as Creality’s smaller machines.

Creality CR-30 (3DPrintMill)200 x 170 x ∞ mm print volume (8" x 7" x ∞)Unique Belt design allows for infinitely long prints, or continuous printing of smaller parts

The Creality CR-30 is a unique printer in that it has no limit to the length of parts you can print on it, which it accomplishes by printing parts onto a moving Belt, similar to a treadmill. In order to be able to continuously print very long parts, the extruder is oriented at a 45 degree angle. The standard vertical orientation would not work, since each layer would require the printer to traverse the entire length of the long print.

The Creality CR-X Pro is a unique printer in Creality’s lineup with its two extruders. This allows the printer to print two colors at once, although to do so you’ll need to find or create a 3D model that is designed for dual-color printing. The two extruders feed into a single hot end and nozzle, which does mean that both materials will need to have the same printing temperature. This slightly limits the capability of the printer, but the single-nozzle design is much easier to calibrate than a dual-nozzle design would be.

You can also print single-color models with the CR-X, and it’s a great machine for single-color printing. Aside from the two extruders, it is very similar to theCR-10S Pro V2, and features the newer unibody design with the electronics under the heat bed, BLTouch auto leveling, and dual drive metal extruders. Additionally, it uses standard nozzles and has dual cooling fans, unlike the CR-10S Pro.

If you’re interested in dual-color printing and want a 3D printer that is capable of both single and dual-color prints, the Creality CR-X is a great choice.

Choosing a 3D printer can be overwhelming since there are a lot of options available. If you aren’t sure where to start, print volume is an important factor to consider early on when choosing a 3D printer. We recommend considering what types of objects you’ll want to print most often and using that as a basis to choose a printer in the lineup. However, keep in mind that with the possible exception of the 500mm S5, a larger printer generally isn’t a bad thing, and you may find yourself really wanting a larger build area later. It’s worth considering an Ender 3 Max or CR-10 S4 even if you think you might be able to get by with the Ender 3.

The Creality3D CR - 10 3D Desktop Printer is a 3D printer with imported special aluminum frame. It features with super large 300 x 300 x 400mm build volume, standard 0.4mm nozzle diameter ( can be replaced to 0.3 / 0.2mm ). To maintain the garage-built feel and the handmade charms, CR - 10 3D desktop printer is also a build-it-yourself kit, which provides you an unforgettable step-by-step learning experience of 3D printer!

● It is unassembled DIY kit, which provides you an unforgettable step-by-step learning experience of 3D printer from scratch. As long as you have a passion for creativity, you can not afford to miss this product

Also all the plastic parts are not 3D printed as for of my other 3D printers and I also like that. I really like this quality level for all the pars. Even the endstops look a little bit better than the commune endstops of DIY 3D printers. The extruder is so compact and well wired and screwed in place and it reach 200 degree in one minute. The heated bed doe, gets heated quite slow. I had no wiring issues and I love the fact that everything has a connector that plugs directly into the main case. I love the huge bed and printing size of 300 by 300 and 400 height and the glass plate as a bonus.

Despite the bed is huge, it has a metal support so it is very stable so won’t move a bit even if I press on the corners. All the parts are very good quality, the end stops and step motors are well placed and the printing quality is amazing. Of course I have to use it a for a longer period of time for the final opinion and I also want to compare it with the Anet E10 and also the Creality CR10 mini. The price for this printer lowered a lot, it is now around 330 euros on gearbest.
