Why the Creality CR-10 Smart is not so smart - Honest review

This claims to be a ‘smart’ 3D printer, but instead it feels rushed and lacking of any proper testing. In this honest review, I outline what the Creality CR-10 Smart does well, as well as its numerous problems.

Maybe these problems will get fixed, but what about the people who have already paid for one? If you agree this is not good enough, comment below. Experiences like this are why I don't enjoy reviews, but I guess my responsibility is to take one for the team so viewers can make an informed decision.

This printer was provided free of charge by Creality for the purposes of review after agreeing to my review policy. All opinions expressed are my own.
