This was my first 3D printer and I just got it yesterday, as a complete noob and new to 3D printing, I just assembled it following this video, I downloaded the calibration cube, sliced it with the Creality slicer, and boom, it printed perfect for my first print!! I have the 3D Benchy printing right now and it is also looking absolutely perfect too! I am very happy that my experience in 3D printing has started like this! I didn't have to do any trouble shooting or anything which I thought I would have to do for my first time printing.

Excellent and I am so glad I watched. I just received my CE6 SE MAX (yea, it was really late) and I would not have thought to check and tighten all the factory installed bolts before setting it up. Many of my bolts were loose and with a frame this big rigidity is critical. Also had several loose wheels to tighten. I plan to use a 1mm nozzle as this printer is for big parts and using a 0.4mm nozzle is like shooting BBs out of a cannon. Will try to repost and let everyone know how it works. Update - printer is up and running with the first prints perfect. I don't know if any of Vlad's suggestions are the reason, however, I have had none of the many problems people have written about. Next steps are to try printing using Prusa slicer with the needed changes (I do not want to use two slicers and my other printer is a Prusa) and then change to the 1mm nozzle.

I just this as my first 3D printer. I have no prior knowledge on how to build, or operate a 3D printer. I used your video instead of the instructions, and I’m printing a Benchy right now. This was an awesome video, very informative, and exactly what I was looking for!

[Riverboat]

So darn glad I backed this on Kickstarter. Can't wait till mine shows up!!!

Awesome video!
This is my first printer and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Watching this video will definitely help me build, setup and resolve out of the box issues.
I would recommend this video to anyone who has bought or considering buying this printer

Without your magic touch, the tests would have gone quite differently. I have learned a lot, watching you fix "little" problems to get a great result! Thanks, Vlad. Well done.

I used this video to setup my new cr6 and went flawles! Thank you so much!

[MrChalboy]

This is a fantastic review and guide! Thank you!
I'm a newbe to 3D printing and backed this as my first. Very excited and I'll pull this back up when it comes to building and ensuring everything is set up right!

Great video. Thank you for showing more of the navigation of the touch screen, and how it would work for most users out of the box.

[akgunkel]

This video was very helpful as I set up my CR-6 SE all your little helpful hints eliminated any guesswork or frustration. Thanks for putting out such a thorough video!

[timredway]

We are 1st timer printer users. Thanks for the very informative video Vlad.

[TheGunGuy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm brand new to all of this and instead of following the manual, I just stepped through your video right along with you and had a perfect first print! I really appreciate how you solved the printing problem...Keep up the great work! Sub'd.

I'm going for the Artillery Sidewinder X1, which should arrive soon. Thank you for being one of the people to introduce and push me toward getting a 3D printer!

[bertkraan]

Thanks man, I needed something like this to dare and open my package containing the cr-6 se. tightened all the bolts which was nessecary and my first print is printing right now. Thanks again for an excellent unboxing/setup/first print video!

[hugomoitasilva]

Can't wait for mine
to arrive, nice tips on mounting, and some tunning after.

[skathiri]

Look at that quality!!! That is so detailed and and nice! ( the prints. And the printer)

First off I don't currently own a 3D printer but I hope to get one at some point.
There is some things I like about the Creality CR-6 SE which is the follow. First thing I like is the CR-6 SE is more easy to assemble compare to the Ender 3 versions. The 2nd thing I really like about the CR-6 SE is it comes with auto leveling right out of the box.

The 3rd thing I kinda like is the included filament detector which could be used in some useful ways if your smart about it. You could very well be able to use it create a 3D prints that uses different filament color's. Something like making a vase where the bottom half is white and then the top half is red or something like that.

One thing I dislike about the CR-6 SE is the bowden tube connector's on both the extruder and the hotend they are plastic held in place by a plastic clip. I know they include a couple plastic replacement bowden tube connector's. The question is how long will those plastic bowden tube connector last and will you be able to buy replacements for it at a later date.

I know the CR-6 SE also includes couple extra nozzle's for the 3D printer as well. Now my question is I know the CR-6 SE uses .4 nozzle but the tip look's a little different then the nozzle of the Ender 3. I searched Amazon for nozzles for the CR-6 SE course nothing showed up. I wonder could you use the .4 nozzle from the Ender 3 on the CR-6 SE.

i love this channel. the first video of your i saw was your ender 3 pro assembly, and it was so clear and easy to follow, i didn’t need to look at the manual that came with the printer once. Keep up with the good content 👍👍👍

[drfootleg]

Thank you for another very useful printer set up video. I found your video on the Sapphire Pro very useful when I got my first printer, and again now as I set up my second. My CR-6 SE is printing beautifully from the initial set up following your advice on how to adjust the roller tension.

[craigkane]

Great video. Thanks for explaining the issue with the extruder.
