May I ask where you purchased your CR-10S from?

Thanks

Brian

Last Black Friday I bought one of these

https://www.lightinthebox.com/cr-10-3d- ... 1.18.104.0

I paid $330 USD and got free shipping, but like I said, it was Black Friday. I think $479 is still a fair price, and I absolutely love mine. With that said, I wouldn't like it half as much if not for guys like Wayne, Martin, Alwyn, Wibbs, etc, etc. This lightinthebox place has addresses in the US, UK, China and India and I didn't have any trouble at all. Took about three weeks from order to delivery. They can deliver faster if you pay extra.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know the difference between the CR-10 and the CR10S, besides about a hundred smackers? I looked at the specs and the only difference that caught my eye was print speed, the more expensive machine being slower.

The creality cr10 (various models) is available from amazon on short lead times, it's where I got mine.

I think the 'S' model has dual Z axis lead screws and a filament run-out detector and print-resume(after power failure), not sure if there is anything else

So why does the 10 cost so much more than the 10S?

The 'S' models are more expensive than the standard ones in the UK. I believe there are 3 sizes of build area for each version, making a total of 6 CR-10 models..... plus a CR-10 Mini

At lightinthebox the 10 is $479 and the 10S is $449.

It says $363 for the 10S but that's for a group buy. The buy alone price is $449.

See why I'm confused?

I decided to buy my CR-10S from HicTop on Ebay.

The CR-10S has everything the CR-10 does; plus dual Z axis screws, filament and power sensors. But, it also has a newer version of the control board - one in which you don't have to fool with adding a boot-loader to update the firmware. I feel all that is more than worth the extra cost.

There is also available:

CR-10S4 - build volume of approximately 15" x 15" x 16"

and

CR-10S5 - build volume of approximately 20" x 20" x 20" (MASSIVE!)

I would have LOVED to get the S4, but I just can't justify it for what I would be mostly trying to do, initially at least.....

PS - my CR-10S arrived this morning!

PPS - There are kits available to convert CR-10 into CR-10S
