Hi Combo (A) 3D Printer, Multi Color 3D Printer with CFS, 500mm/s High Speed Auto-Leveling Automatic Filament Reading Clog-Free Extruder 95% Pre-Assemble All-Metal Body 10.24×10.24×11.81inch

My first 3D printer, and it just works After much comparison shopping I settled on the Creality HI Combo. Arrival and assembly: As a first time 3D printer novice I was pleasantly surprised at how well the printer was packaged. Assembly was straight forward, insert the gantry, secure six screws, connect a few well marked connectors and it was done in probably less than 10 minutes. Adding the CFS was also simple, The only question was which cable went into which port. As it turned out it didn't matter, but it would have been helpful to eliminate any confusion by providing information on this part. Placement of the CFS feeder also left a little too much to imagination. If I were to do it again, I would place the part a little lower on the side of the gantry (with the boudin tube coming out about mid point on the gantry). Overall a very sturdy piece of equipment. First startup: Turning on the printer and waiting for it to go through its initial startup process was fairly lengthy (I can only guess because I have no previous printer for comparison) but since it is only a one time event, it is what it is. The only issue was the printer runs through its complete diagnostics, then goes out to look for any updates. Of course it finds an update, installs it and then because it is updated it goes through the complete diagnostics a second time. I would think it would look for updates first then run diagnostics just once (It is a new toy and I was anxious to start playing). First run: I dispensed with running the standard tug boat test and proceeded directly to printing things I would actually use. Creality Print Software: I have no other slicer to make comparison, however I find the slicer fairly easy to work with, though not fully intuitive. There are many features and options to customize your projects some come with pop ups that briefly describe what the feature does, some are more cryptic, maybe it is just because I am new to the hobby. Some features have no pop up instructions, so I will just leave them at the default until I am more knowledgeable. 2 weeks of use: over the past two weeks I have printed 36 projects. The shortest was 8:13, and the longest was 8:18:27, with a total run time for all projects at 52:54:51. I printed 14 multicolor projects all with no errors or failures. The only change I made to the default settings was to change the layer height from 0.2mm to 0.12mm. This makes very nice prints with no apparent layer lines. Materials used for my projects: As a new comer I have only been using Creality filaments. Mostly Hyper-PLA, but also CR-Silk, and CR-PLA. Summary: As a new hobbiest, I am pleased with this purchase I find the addition of the CFS combo makes this a pleasure to operate. I would purchase this again , and would recommend it to others. My only issue is I would like Creality to provide a comprehensive user manual to include recommendations on maintenance and service items that I need to do to maintain the printer. This could be a PDF on their web site. Also I have not been able to figure out how to register the printer with Creality.

To Whom It May Concern, I purchased the Creality hi Combo with the CFS at the end of May with the intention of using it for multi-color printing. I initially planned to purchase the Bambu Lab A1 Combo, but opted for this unit under the assumption it would be a smoother transition, since I already own the Ender V3 KE and am familiar with Creality’s slicer and app ecosystem. That assumption turned out to be completely wrong. From the very beginning, this printer has been plagued with problems. Every print came out misaligned by several layers. After numerous resets and calibrations, I discovered the drive belt was completely loose—nowhere in the instruction manual does it mention that this needs to be manually tensioned. That is an unacceptable omission for a printer at this price point. After manually adjusting the belt, the printer began working—briefly. Now it violently slams the print head into the endstop after purging filament, making an extremely loud, damaging sound. On top of that, any print longer than three hours results in fault code FO0528, stating the printer is printing without extruding. I’ve tested extrusion manually and confirmed that it functions, yet the fault continues. Even worse, after clearing the fault and attempting to resume the print, it lifts the hot end too high and completely fails to adhere to the previous layer. The result? Wasted filament, wasted time, and a canceled print—again and again. The only workaround I’ve found is to remove the CFS system entirely and print with the filament directly on the printer, which defeats the entire point of buying the combo in the first place. I have tried every piece of troubleshooting advice I can find online and in the manual (which, frankly, is minimal and poorly written). Still, the issues persist. And what’s worse: there is no customer service number for the manufacturer, and your Amazon-provided warranty doesn’t take effect until the manufacturer’s warranty ends. So in reality, I paid extra for a warranty I can’t even use when I need it most. This entire experience has been nothing short of infuriating. I have wasted a tremendous amount of money—not only on the printer but on failed prints, wasted filament, and countless hours of my time. At this point, I feel scammed by both Creality and Amazon. This is the worst experience I’ve had with any tech product, and it’s made me seriously question the value of Amazon Prime. I would have been far better off purchasing from a reputable retailer like Micro Center, where they actually offer a real warranty, support, and a no-hassle return or exchange policy. I expect a full resolution immediately. That means either: • A replacement printer that actually works, • A full refund, or • Escalated support from a real human being with the authority to fix this. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to file a formal complaint and pursue this further. I refuse to be left stuck with a broken product and a useless warranty. I await your immediate response

I built my first 3D printer, an Anet A8M, so this is the first “ready to wear” printer for me. Out of the box, setup was quick and easy. I did a standard Benchy, for the first print out of the box, with default settings and compared to the Anet it is impressive. Print time was 40 minutes, compared to 72, for the Anet. No Z-banding. Circles were round, surfaces smooth, and overhangs clean - no warping or sag. Construction is solid. I don’t have a vibration tester, but shaking at the top of the gantry felt the same as at the base. Startup is simple, though it takes several minutes to go through the initial homing, bed-leveling, and initialization. You quickly learn the process for starting a new print. I had forgot to order filament spools, so I was unable to test the multi-color feed. The pause function is a lifesaver, though I wish it had the ability to rewind, by layers. Because I forgot filament, after the sample filament ran out I had to hand-feed scraps and filament from my 3D pen. As a result I didn’t realize I accidentally fed it ABS until the 3rd layer started peeling from the PLA. I was able to pause it, peel off the ABS, and feed more PLA, but because I couldn’t “rewind” 3 layers, the gap was too great for the new PLA to adhere to the old. In the end, it’s a great first-time 3D printer for someone who doesn’t have the knowledge and skill to build their own and just wants to print.

Excellent product but requires attention.

Después de más de 6 meses de uso continuo, puedo decir que la Creality Hi en su versión Combo es una impresora 3D muy completa y bien pensada, tanto para usuarios que van iniciando como para quienes ya tienen experiencia. Desde el primer momento la experiencia fue positiva. El montaje es sencillo, la calibración inicial es rápida y la impresora se siente sólida y bien construida. La calidad de impresión es muy buena, con capas limpias y resultados consistentes incluso en impresiones largas. El sistema CFS es uno de sus puntos fuertes. Funciona perfectamente con la mayoría de los carretes estándar, permitiendo una alimentación estable y continua. En mi experiencia, solo he tenido inconvenientes con carretes de madera o carretes dañados, algo que considero normal y más relacionado al carrete que al sistema en sí. En cuanto al extrusor, he probado boquillas genéricas de 0.2, 0.4 y 0.6 mm sin ningún problema. El cambio de boquillas es sencillo y la impresora se adapta bien a diferentes configuraciones según el tipo de impresión que se quiera realizar. El único detalle que he detectado después de varios meses de uso es que, al dejar el cover de fábrica del extrusor, el filamento llegaba a atascarse en ciertas condiciones. Al retirar dicho cover, el problema desapareció por completo y desde entonces la impresora ha funcionado de manera perfecta. Considero que puede tratarse de un fallo aislado, o bien influir factores como la temperatura ambiente o la ventilación de la zona donde se utiliza. Fuera de ese detalle puntual, el rendimiento general ha sido excelente. No he tenido fallos graves, ni problemas recurrentes, y la impresora se mantiene estable incluso con uso prolongado. En conclusión, la Creality Hi Combo es una impresora muy recomendable por todo lo que ofrece: buena calidad de impresión, compatibilidad con múltiples boquillas, un sistema CFS funcional y una experiencia general muy sólida. Es una opción que vale mucho la pena para quien busca una impresora confiable y versátil.

Seller was amazing, delivery was before than expected. And the product is perfect. Very nice printer I’m impressed

Muy buen producto, al principio me costó trabajo sincronizar la Creality HI con la unidad CFS.... Pero después todo ha trabajado de maravilla

El estrusor cuenta con una placa la cual los pines (3) están ubicados de tal forma que se ve comprometido su estado causando que este se doblen y se rompan con mucha facilidad.
