The ability of 3D printers for consumers now is wonderful enough to doubt the existence value of the 100,000 US dollars 3D printer installed in my company.
I introduced a 3D printer of 100 US dollars in the past.
The purpose of buying that
I want to output on a 3D printer because I can operate 3DCAD. But suddenly I can not buy expensive 3D printers. So, I purchase assembled inexpensive 3D printer. And if I could keep on as a hobby I would buy it expensive,
I had such feeling.
And I decided to continue as my hobby.
Next time I wanted to output various materials, I wanted to increase the model size. But I did not want to spend so much, I wanted to make it easy to assemble, so I searched for the best match 3D printer as a result.
Creality CR-10S
It is CR – 10S made by CREALITY 3D company located in Shenzhen, China.
There are several good points of this.
- Although it is a large model size of 300 x 300 x 400 mm, it is inexpensive
- Although it is not yet assembled, since the control unit etc. has already been assembled, it can be purchased in a semi-assembled state, furthermore it is very easy to assemble in 10 to 20 minutes
- There are plenty of filaments that can be output, regardless of manufacturer (general purpose good)
- Extensibility is high so you can customize it to your liking
- Even if somewhere breaks down, it can be purchased cheaply on a part-by-part basis so that it will not be afraid of failure
- There are many information because there are users all over the world
I will present each detail.
As shown in the photo above, the model size is large. And since it is simple making, the overall size is one size larger than the model size. I thought it would be nice if the control unit was also integrated … CR-10S PRO was already on sale.
If I knew PRO before buying CR – 10S, I bought PRO.
It seems that it also has an auto leveling function.
If the foundation in the control unit is broken, it will be awkward to replace it.
When comparing the price within the same site (GEARBEST), the PRO is 1.5 times higher than CR-10S (as of February 2019)
Since I did not know GEARBEST at that time I bought CR – 10S from Amazon Japan.
At that time it was a discount of 5,800 yen (10% discount) and it was 52,200 yen.
Purchasing at GEARBEST is even cheaper. The postage is free. Perhaps because the price fluctuates, check the link destination for the current price.
By the way, the Upgraded Version is CR-10S. Choosing not this is CR-10 of a generation ago.
I will compare CR-10S and CR-10. CR – 10S has the following three functions.
· Two motors to move the Z axis and stable operation
· Even if there is a power outage on the way, it has a resume function
· Because it has a sensor of filament breakage, it stops safely even if it disappears along the way. And we can set a new filament and resume
As there were pictures on the official website, it is as follows.
About 2.. This is also appealing on the official website.
Just take out the box, tighten the four screws and connect the cables. There were also other unassembled 3D printers that it would take more than a day to build the foundation and to settle the pillars.
This was really easy. Below, from boxing to assembly.
The size of the box is on the official website,
66.00 x 55.00 x 30.00 cm and 13.8 kg. Lifting up with adult men is not that hard.
The first row has a stage to be printed. It also had a glass plate and a masking tape. These two are easier to print out and easier to remove what you made. I will write this separately.
The second row has a control unit, a Z-axis pillar integrated with an extruder from which resin comes out, and a mini cardboard containing cables and tools.
The contents of the mini cardboard contain a cable, a tool, a manual, MicroSD containing data, and a decoration of blue. Basically all necessary things are included. For the trial a small amount of white PLA filament was attached (I forgot the photo).
To assemble, fasten the Z axis column and the stage with screws and fasten the screw by attaching the parts on the photo below to the side.
It is about five minutes so far.
Since the control unit corresponds to the voltages all over the world, 115 V is chosen for Japan.
Just connect the cable at the end. There is no mistake because labels are attached and the shape of each connector is also different.
3. There are plenty of filaments that can be output, regardless of manufacturer (general purpose good)
Because the materials suitable for my purpose are different, I want to use various materials. And we can use third party filament. That’s why I am happy as a user.
4. Because it is highly scalable, you can customize it to your preference
In the figure above the nozzle is 0.4 mm as standard, but it can be 0.3 or 0.2.
Of course, in addition to that, people who are mastery can also add auto leveling function afterwards, upgrade the heater so that the temperature of the stage can be raised quickly. Moreover, these parts are inexpensive.
5. Even if somewhere fails, since it can be purchased cheaply on a part-by-part basis, there is no fear of failure
This also leads to the above sentences.
We can purchase parts in small pieces inexpensively.
そもそもそれはまったく壊れません。 私はそれを買って3〜4ヶ月で10 kgを出力しましたが、壊れませんでした。
壊れる可能性が高い押出機を購入しましたが、交換する必要はまだありません。
6. Because there are users around the world, there are a lot of informationIt is a corporate user to purchase 100,000 dollars 3D printer. So we can not get information so easily.
For example, CR – 10S comes up as much as you search on YouTube.
The following are useful as users of 3D printers.
The channel of RCLifeOn (maybe a Swedish Simon)
CNC Kitchen channel (German Stefan)
And Naomi ‘SexyCyborg’ Wu channel (she is sexy)
Cute French Heliox channel I found recently
This is a lot of fun so I will write about it in the future.
