Creality Hi Combo Print Examples, Settings, Tips
Hi Freeman, thanks for sharing your experience, and sorry to hear about the trouble! It sounds like there may be an issue with bed calibration or a possible firmware mismatch with CrealityPrint 6. By the way, CrealityPrint had a recent update to v6.1.1.2274 I would try the following: Update CrealityPrint, and the Firmware (on the printer). Re-run the full calibration and belt tension check from the touchscreen menu. If it still fails, try slicing a basic model in OrcaSlicer using Creality Hi profile for comparison. Let us know what works or if the issue persists - happy to help troubleshoot further.

Creality Hi Combo Print Examples, Settings, Tips
Hi Charles, I haven’t personally tried it, but it should be possible by using adapters. For example, here’s an adapter for cardboard spools I found on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6888138 Here are the other examples: https://www.printables.com/model/472937-bambu-ams-spool-adapter-for-sunlu-195mm-spools This fix could also be helpful: https://www.printables.com/model/1103497-creality-k2-plus-cfs-fix-for-small-spools-retracti I recommend starting with the officially supported spool sizes for your first prints, just to get a good feel for how the system works. Also, I wouldn't start long projects until I am 100% sure the adapters work well.

FLSUN T1 Pro: First Impressions & Speed Print Showcase
Just got hands-on with the FLSUN T1 Pro — and wow, this Delta printer is a speed demon! From unboxing to setup and testing, the T1 Pro handled everything with surprising ease and accuracy. In the video, I walk through the initial setup and share a few first prints — complete with STL sources. I also take a closer look at the machine’s design and usability, highlighting some of its most interesting features. Toward the end, I wrap up with the key specs and a few of my personal takeaways now that it’s had a proper test drive. I found it to be a fast and capable Delta-style 3D printer. It’s designed to reach speeds of up to 1,000 mm/s and handle a range of materials, including PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, and others. The printer features a direct drive extruder with a 300°C brass nozzle, along with real-time monitoring and built-in time-lapse capture. 💬 Have a T1 Pro or thinking of getting one? Drop your experience, questions, or print pics in this thread!

Creality Hi Combo Print Examples, Settings, Tips
Read more – unboxing, testing, and print examples: Creality Hi Combo Review. In the video below, I take a deep dive into the Creality Hi Combo – a multicolor 3D printer setup that really caught my attention. Creality kindly sent this unit over for review, and while it was provided free, everything I share is my honest opinion. I’ll walk through the unboxing, setup, and testing of the 4-color CFS unit (expandable to 16!) and share some early print results and thoughts. Check it out below! There’s a lot to like about the HI Combo – especially its ease of assembly, multi-color capabilities, and built-in camera. Of course, multicolor printing has its learning curve, especially with slicer settings, but the hardware itself performed great. Let me know your thoughts, tips, or questions in the comments under the video, on this forum, or in a full written review. Please share your Creality Hi Combo experience here, or start a new thread under the FDM 3D Printers forum.
