Hi,
Very new to 3d printing and reading allot, I was thinking about buying the Creality CR-10S5 since it is in my budget, it's got a large bed size for some of my ideas and i've seen some good reviews.... is it a good buy?
If I wanted to print a cube frame like the one i've attached, what is the maximum floating length per connecting rod that I can 3d print?
I really thought I was going to love this Creality CR-10S5 3d printer. A huge format and honestly it printed great with basic assembly right out of the box.
You don't love your CR10?
This post has been quite interesting and informative too.
It's a great device
Banggood have some major savings on new 3D printers.
The maximum unsupported bridging isn't great. depending on the print settings and material, probably 5 cm, and that won't be pretty.Quote:

So how I would do it is cut the cube in half, use a peg and socket to fix the uprights and print each half seperately upside down. No supports needed :-)
Or print the top as one part and the base and uprights as another.
That way you could make a cube frame as large as the machine would allow.
Or better yet. have the top and bottom as seperate frames and print the legs lying down - which is much stronger and cleaner and would print significantly faster and then slot and glue together.

If you are looking to buy let me know as I work closely with Banggood marketing and can normally get a coupon code for a decent discount. At the moment they are pushing 3D printers so may be a good time to buy.
I'll give BangGood a plug from the generic buyers perspective. In a past life I did a lot of flashlight work. They provided good components at decent prices. Many people are on the fence for buying durable goods from China. They are simply a pass-through entity that does work with their customers as best they can.
don't take paypal though - or didn't last time I looked. Not overly happy giving my card details to chinese sites.
I've always paid with PayPal to BangGood... Something must have changed.
