![]() I reached out to Creality about this problem and the company responded that “after leveling and adjustment, the problem of non-sticking can be solved.” If you’re the type of person who really wants to mass-produce parts and have the budget to afford the CR-30, perhaps you have the skill and patience to do this, but for others, it’s an unwelcome challenge. However, the coating on the belt simply will not allow filament to adhere to it without additional conditioning, a time-consuming and potentially damaging process to the printer. This belt represents a major issue with the CR-30, because users will not find it intuitive to use an aggressive brush, solvents, or adhesives on the belt due to the potential damage they could cause. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s certainly an odd design choice, considering the added difficulty of tensioning the bracket without any apparent benefit. Typically, most 3D printers use carriages and brackets with 3 V-slot wheels, as the lowest wheel (bottom of the V) can be tightened or loosened with an eccentric nut to change the tension on the bracket. ![]() ![]() The Y axis on the CR-30 moves up at a 45 degree angle, and it glides up and down using a pair of brackets that each feature four V-slot wheels. The CR-30 ships as a partially-assembled kit, and it took me about an hour to put together. The 1020 profile (as opposed to the single 1010 profile used on less expensive machines) and 80/20 aluminum extrusions are used throughout the machine, adding to the sturdiness of the machine. The heavy frame of this machine gives it a low center of gravity and a remarkably rigid structure. The CR-30 features heavy-duty hardware throughout the machine, and it weighs in at over 36 pounds, nearly twice as much as the 18.9-pound Creality Ender 3 Pro.
