This would eliminate the need of occasionally replacing the PTFE tube, and would also allow higher temperatures to be reached safely.Īn interesting change brought by the Creality CR-10 Smart is the hotend. This is still good enough for PLA, PETG and even ABS, but I would have loved to see an all-metal heat break. In regular Creality fashion, the CR-10 Smart hotend is still PTFE lined, meaning that you will be able to print up to ~240C, but if you go past that, the PTFE tube will start to degrade and release harmful fumes. Most of the larger format cartesian printers suffer from Z wobble, especially when printing taller models but having the Z axis braced eliminates this issue on the CR-10 Smart.

These braces help with the stiffness of the printer, ensuring that there’s no Z wobble during printing. Z braces for more stabilityĪ nice addition to the Creality CR-10 Smart is the dual Z braces installed in the back of the printer. But if a beginner would have received the printer in this condition, a print would not have been possible.

Of course, I was able to level the gantry after loosening up one of the couplers, then turning the lead screw until everything was correct.
