Review on Creality 3D Hobbyists Motherboard with Auto-Leveling by Edgardo Ennis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great product, bad company

This is my first 3D printer and what a pleasure! Have fun and skill. You really need to spend a lot of time learning how to create and work with PLA, but it's worth it. And the CR-6 SE is a great machine with fantastic features. Gather some clamps and a PLA guide and the machine gets better. Download the community software, and even better. So why downgrade? Creativity released this car on Kickstarter and it literally caught fire in people's homes. I mean it caught fire. You mixed up the wiring and burned the motherboard. And if you plugged a computer into it to run Octoprint, or for any other reason, it grilled that computer. So it was just dangerous. Now they have modified the printer but to be honest I'm not sure anyone knows if all the issues have been fixed and if so which models are safe. Such information should be fully transparent to the customer, but it is not. So, I think my 3D printer is safe, but who really knows? And for a device that I leave overnight and unattended, this is a serious problem. This is a great printer at a fantastic price that could burn my house down. I deducted two stars.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
