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.

Bonsoir je vien de passer comande de cette imprimante pour compléter ma collection de machine.

J'aimerais savoir si on peu utilisé des bobine de filament en 250 g ou 500 g dans l’unité CFS et si oui quel actuce ou chose a imprimer pour cela .

Hi.

I received this printer yesterday and unfortunately only problems with it. At the start the self-test goes well, everything is green. Default projects uploaded by the manufacturer print correctly. However, all other projects cut in CrealityPrint 6.0 / 6.1 print incorrectly. The Y axis can suddenly move backwards or forwards and the nozzle works in the air, creating spaghetti and the print has to be thrown away. It even happened that the hotbed suddenly moved from its place, so much so that the belt jumped on the stepper motor gear and get axis y resistance error. I don't know how to solve this problem...

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.

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.
