Creality Smart Pro FDM 3D Printer

Printing Technology

The Creality CR-10 Smart Pro is a large 3D printer that uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. As such, it uses filament to build up layers of plastic to create your desired object. This stands in contrast to resin 3D printers, which use a liquid resin that is hardened layer by layer with UV light.

The advantage of the FDM printing process is that it is generally more affordable and easier to use than resin printing. The downside is that the objects you can print with FDM are generally not as detailed as those you can make with resin.

You can typically 3D print a lot larger objects with FDM 3D printers as well. If you are reading this Creality CR10 Smart Pro review, that might be exactly what you are looking for.

The CR-10 Smart Pro’s large build volume makes it most suited for printing large objects, such as 3D printed helmets, 3D printed cosplay armor, large architectural models, and other similar items. Alternatively, you can use it to print many smaller items at once.

Still considering the CR-10 Smart Pro as your next 3D printer? Let’s see what it is like to use it!

As we have gotten used to from Creality’s latest releases, the CR-10 Smart Pro comes partially assembled in a flat-pack foam-padded box. Where the previous generation 3D printers came as a pile of parts that had to be assembled from scratch, the CR-10 Smart Pro only requires you to attach a couple of components to get started.

Inside the box, you will find the following:

• Base
• Z-axis gantry
• Sprite Pro extruder assembly
• Touch screen
• Pull rods
• HD camera
• Various cables
• Power cord
• Spool holder
• Small spool of white PLA filament
• Multiple 3D printing tools (print removal tool, wire snippers, etc.)
• Nozzle cleaner
• Spare nozzles
• SD Card
• All screws for assembly
