Creality CR-6 MAX Unboxing & First Thoughts!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- The Creality CR-6 MAX is the (much) bigger brother to the CR-6 SE that was part of the record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. ECOstruder unboxes the CR-6 MAX with its huge 400 x 400 x 400mm build volume before it is available to buy. So will it live up to all of the crazy hype? Or is it just an oversized mess?

I appreciate you and your videos. It was your later video on the CR-6 Max that sealed the deal for me when deciding to get my own. I'm setting it up today!
Fantastic! I'm glad the video was helpful, and I hope you love your 6-Max. Mine is still running strong, though I have made some modifications to it (I'm using the Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow printhead on it now and it's amazing). Happy printing!
Your tip about the loose screw check saved me from having to send the whole thing back. Thank you. During the auto bed level procedure, the Z axis test sounded like a box of rocks and it wasn’t moving. I went over the belts, any obstructions, nothing helped. I found that one screw was so bad it was wedging on the motor spindle, locking it in place. So, after tightening all of the screws it’s working. Subbed for that precious advice alone. Thanks.
Wow, I'm glad that was so helpful! Congrats on getting your printer working properly, and thanks for the sub!
I believe most touch screens have their own firmware. It's actually a good thing if you want to customize it independently of the main board.
Nice thing about the Creality Z support rods, you can buy them separately and put them relatively easily on other machines as long as they have about the same gantry height.
Thassa big boi!!!
Looks awesome! I have been loving the heck out of my CR-6SE. No doubt the max provides an awesome printing experience, as well.
Thanks Kenny!
PSA for Brandon. He sold me my CR 10 V3. It’s my first printer ever and he has been tremendously helpful and patient with a noob. Thanks dude for all your input!
Epic beard by the way. Does it have a name? Do you go to competitions?
Thank you for the very kind words, Mark!!
Hahaha, no, the beard just shares my name. We are one. It is definitely (over)due for a taming, though. Just can't get anyone to touch it during COVID and I'm not brave enough to go at it with scissors myself!
I just got mine and was worried how load the fan near the display are. Is that normal. Its really annoying and way above acceptable. Any thoughts about that?
The CR-6 Max is very quiet. So if your fan is loud and annoying then yes, I'd be concerned about what's going on with that. Maybe it's something simple like just some dust or a wisp of hot glue stuck in the fan bearings, or maybe there's something causing it to spin out of balance. Probably worth checking out though. Even a full replacement fan is quite cheap if that's determined to be necessary.
You'd be surprised on how accurate those little switches are. I work on million dollar machines for a living and inside the siemens limit switches are very similar if not the same style mechanical switches.
There are no Y axis gantries. They are linear guides.
Good to know! I just know that we've had issues with it always resuming at the exact same point when using limit switches. Perhaps there's a difference in the quality of cheap limit switches versus the nice industrial ones you've had experience with.
Love a update!!!
I just shot the CR-6 Max Thoughts video (trying not to call it a "review."), so once that is edited and posted you shall have your update! :-)
Is it neccessary to check the voltage setting on the MAX? ie 110v or 230v? Because I did not find a red button toggle between the two.
Great question! This is one of the most common issues my customers have had with Creality machines. They come with power supplies that are compatible with both 115V and 230V systems. However, the CR-6 Max did not require me to slide that little red switch like the CR-6 SE does. Interesting difference between the two models!
How about a follow up video?
Haha, good call. It has been a bit longer than I planned. I will get that done soon, and post it up once we've got it all edited. Thanks for the reminder!
hello, how to e-step calibration for cr-6 max?
My suggestion is to flash to community firmware and use the touchscreen menu options to perform an esteps calibration from there. But, if you want to stick with the Creality firmware then you'll need to connect the printer to a computer via USB and send gcode commands via a terminal program. Many slicers have a terminal built-in, or you can use something like Pronterface instead. I hope that helps!
@@ecostruder which version of firmware?
@@pipelinesection5514 Looks like they are up to version 6.1 now! github.com/CR6Community/Marlin/releases
Thanks bro
Looking forward to seeing some test prints.
We've been doing quite a few test prints on the CR-6 Max. In fact, the very first print we did was a 86 hour print of Moon City 2.0 using the standard settings in Simplify3D. No tweaking of the machine or the slicing profile at all. It's a gorgeous print.
@@ecostruder pictures please?
@@Imercor1 No spoilers!! You'll have to wait for the upcoming review video to check out the example prints! ;-) Or you could stop by the shop to check them out...
Yeah. What he said. LOL.
When will this be release for The USA
Hi, thanks for watching! I'm not sure when general release is, but they have told me that they will ship my order of CR-6 Max machines for sale in my shop won't be sent out until the end of Feb. It then takes 2 months to ship via "slow boat" to my door.
Been trying to reach you, what is a good email I can use to contact you with a few questions?
Contact established! Looking forward to working with you. For others' reference I can be reached by email at ECOstruder@HartSmartProducts.com!
