- Automatic Bed Levelling via a Built-in Force Sensitive Resistor – Over the years, we’ve experimented with a lot of different 3D Printers, and we’ve seen a lot of different attempts at automatic bed levelling, each with their own distinct benefits and drawbacks. However, with the Creality CR-6 SE, Creality have taken a very simple but extremely clever approach to bed levelling, and instead of having the bed levelling sensor be a separate unit, it has been intelligently integrated into the hotend assembly.
- 32-bit Motherboard with Integrated TMC2209 Drivers – As you will have probably seen, there has recently been a lot of hype around silent printing, with TMC Stepper Drivers taking front and centre stage for delivering high performance with near-silent operations. This is why it’s certainly no surprise that the impressive Creality CR-6 SE comes fully equipped with TMC2209 drivers, which are not only silent, but also offer a good range of extra features as well, for advanced Makers who really like to get the most out of every component they use.
- All of the Best User Upgrades from Around the World – Although we often say it, it’s not always easy to see, but Creality really does listen to feedback from users, and this machine is a prime example of exactly that, as Makers from all over the world all helped take part in the Creality CR-6 SE Kickstarter campaign, sharing their opinions and results to help Creality make “The Perfect 3D Printer” that includes all of the aftermarket parts and modifications that so many Makers throughout the world love. These upgrades, which of course have been added to the Creality CR-6 SE throughout the design process, include: Dual-Z Belted Leadscrews to reduce sag and improve accuracy over the whole gantry; a handy little Built-in Toolbox for keeping important tools out of sight, but well within reach; Integrated Belt Tensioners so you don’t have to unscrew anything to fix up the tension; a Versatile Spool Holder that can swivel out of the way if necessary; Cable Protection & Strain Relief for all of the cables, with particular focus on the hotbed connector; Clever Hotbed Fixators to keep the bed in place with simple swivel-mechanisms to lock and unlock it; a reasonably Rugged Optional Carry-Handle that can be installed onto the top aluminium extrusion; and Pre-installed Fan Guards to keep those pesky filament flakes out of the electronics box. This incredible number of cool new features is enough to cause any Maker to start salivating on the spot, and they also mean that you don’t need to add anything to get all of the best upgrades and modifications that you’ve used, read about and planned to print in the past.
- The Quickest and Easiest Setup Yet – When comparing the Creality CR-6 SE to the many other “DIY 3D Printer Kits” on the market, which typically require the user to setup and install many of the components from separate parts, the Creality CR-6 SE takes all of that complicated mess and simplifies it into just two major parts, with a few minor extras to fit into place and screw in tight. Coming as a separated Gantry Assembly and Base Assembly, you simply need to line up the right places, screw in 6 screws in total, clip in the spoolholder in and plug in some cables. After that, you’re ready to start 3D Printing, you’ve got no excuse not to have immediately start having fun and experimenting with your fresh new machine. This setup process should take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on your mechanical prowess, and the only vital check you need to do to ensure nothing goes wrong is to check that the PSU is safely switched to 230V to match SA power. And of course, just to emphasise this factor even further, the Creality CR-6 SE even includes a 200g spool of free filament, which means you don’t even need to get separate materials to print with, and can instead just dive straight into the fun once your machine is set up.
