The CR-20 Pro adds several nice features on top of the already-impressive CR-20:
- The power supply has been upgraded to a high quality 24V MeanWell supply
- High precison BT touch z-height sensor mounted next to the toolhead compartment, paired with..
- Bed leveling autocalibration routine initiated from graphical controller
- Magnetic sticker sheet securely attaches the build surface to the bedplate
- Filament runout sensor that automatically pauses the print until a new spool is loaded
The CR-20 Pro kit is professionally packaged and contains two logically-divided sections (the horizontal and vertical frame) that can be assembled in minutes using only a few screws; the tools are included, and hardware experience is not required. Most of the frame is made from black aluminum V-slot extrusions and in combination with the bowden system for the extruder, results in an efficient, sturdy frame with 0.1mm Z-axis print precision. The dual sided lead screws on the Z-axis ensure good layer stacking and thus high quality prints. The new v2.1 controller board makes it a stable and smooth printing experience, with a convenient menu system navigable using the sturdy dial. The printer includes a heated bed which reduces the risk of print warping or detachment during printing, and the graphical display + SD slot allows for standalone printing. The heated bed s flexible, magnetically-attached print surface is easy to remove from the rest of the bed plate, allowing for faster and easier 3D print removal.
For new 3D printing enthusiasts: 3D printers runs off of so-called "gcode" files, which are generated from free software slicers such as Slic3r or Cura. Most modern printers (including Crealitys) can run their gcode prints either via an integrated SD or mini-USB slot for stand-alone printing, or from a seperate PC or laptop via the USB slot. In case of power failure, Creality s printers have a "recovery" mode that allows for resuming the print from the LCD interface once power is restored, an essential sanity-saving feature to avoid the frustration of wasted time and filament.
A small "starter" spool of filament is included in the kit, but it won t last long! We recommend including in your purchase a larger spool of Real filament or a multi-color [%insert name="link" type="PRD" src="/joomla/1728" content="PLA sample pack" title="PLA sample pack" %] to assist you in your upcoming exploration of all the colorful things you can print with your new Creality!
