As desktop 3D printers become more and more common, companies are trying to make cheaper and cheaper models. These cheap 3D printers claim to retain a high-quality print whilst cutting price. One of these companies is Creality, the Chinese manufacturer who have a bestselling printer in their CR10 3D printer.
We have recently tested numerous 3D printers. Today, we are testing the CR-10 DIY 3D printer. Creality is a relatively new company, only founded in 2014. According to Creality’s website, they sold 3,000 3D printers in 2014 and more than 10,000 in 2015. In addition to their DLP 3D printer, the DP-001, the company’s product range includes several industrial 3D printers as well as numerous DIY kits.
The Creality CR-10 can be bought for just over $350. We are testing whether this low price means low quality, or whether it stands up to its higher-priced competitors, such as Makerbot. In addition, is this printers’ hype deserved? For whom is the CR-10 suitable, and how good is its usability?
