Danke fur engels! Thanks for english review, your review was low on the list when searching CR10 V2. But i am happy i found it. Buying one right now ;)

I have this printer, and it's definitely worth the money. It's actually quite easy to level, and prints quite quality parts. I bought this black Friday, and ordered the auto-bed leveling kit as well, and let me tell you, the auto bed leveling system will be detrimental to your printer's performance for these reasons:


1. It's obsolete. The manual leveling of this printer takes about 2-3 minutes, and you don't have to touch it for months after.
2. It's software that you need for leveling makes things a lot worse. The software that you have to install to activate your BLTouch probe does a few negative things, one if which is that it removes soft limits on your machine. Meaning, if you command the Z to move to -3, it will move to negative 3, and smash the nozzle into the bed.
3. It doesn't level that good. I did trials of having the ABL level the bed, as well as having myself level the bed manually, and every time I had the bed dialed in a little bit better than the probe.


I probably could have made my own marlin configuration for this machine and had it work okay, but for the effort that it would take to do that, but for the reasons above it's not even worth it to have a working probe on this machine. The machine works fine as it is.


Don't let this deter you from purchasing this machine either, it's a great machine to own, and I'm continually impressed by how smooth it operates and the quality parts it produces, all while being near silent.

Great video. Where did you find the gauge at 4:30?

I wish Creality would send me 3D printers to review :) It looks like their printers are reaching a very mature stage. So far I've only built my own printers, but it would be really interesting to try and make a review video some day.

Nothing im printing doesn't want to stick to the print bed

Aren’t you tempted to redirect the output of the controller cooling airflow to the underside of the print bed, in order to improve energy efficiency and lower the strain on the power supply ? The heat bed PID controller should handle this nicely. 😊

"40ºc is reached after about 3 minutes". Lol, mine takes about 10 seconds, since it's more or less where the heating starts.
