Review on Upgraded Creality 3D Printer 300x300x400mm with Meanwell Power Supply and Extruder Motherboard by Timothy Barnes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Direct extrusion is NOT possible. False advertising.

They advertise this printer like you could just throw a titan at it. It's not relevant. I spoke to Creality support and even they admitted they don't have a solution for this. They suggested I ask the Facebook community for a mount. Well it's a joke! If you're going to advertise the direct mount ability, you'd better make sure it can do it the way it's advertised. Creality in particular did a terrible job with this printer - first advertising it would come with a Titan extruder, then removing it, but continuing to advertise it could be used. The only solution at the moment is to get rid of the plastic extruder body. and print something like petsfang. If I had known this was the case I would have just bought the v1 for almost half the price, spent $80 on upgrades and dropped the case (and saved money in the process). Otherwise, the printer is nothing exceptional. You pay more for it than v1 for better stepper drivers, z support and meanwell supply.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
