Creality CR-10 S5 User manual

The CR-10 S5 is one of the biggest available consumer printers. If you decide to
buy one, make sure to clear up some space in your toolshed or lab. Also, make
sure to include some additional space for the control box.
Although being marketed as a 3D printer kit, the Creality CR-10 S5 comes mostly
pre-assembled. All you have to do is to mount the Z-axis to the base, connect the
cables and you’re ready to 3D print. This shouldn’t take longer than 30 to 60
minutes.
In the box, you will find these parts:
2 pre-assembled frames
tools for the assembly of the Creality CR-10 S5
some spare parts
Spatula for removing the print from the glass bed
Needle for cleaning of clogged nozzles
Teflon tube

PLA filament spool
filament holder
UBS cable
AC cable
Filament Runout Detection Sensor: A feature found pretty commonly today.
You run the 3D printed sensor between the spool and the hotend. If the filament
runs out, the mechanical sensor picks up the information and pauses the print, so
you can resume later. This is one of the major improvements of the Creality CR-
10 S5 3D Printer. And rest assured, it will come in handy you’ll start printing
bigger models.
External control board: As with Creality CR-10, the power brick, the
RAMboard, and controls are located in a separate external “brick”. The spool
holder is mounted on top. The heated bed now also uses a MOSFET for
electrical safety. Also, the cables are significantly longer than on the regular CR-
10.
Dual Z Rod Screws & Motors: As the form factor’s bigger, Creality uses two Z
axis screw rods and motors on this printer. This leads to a more reliable
performance. The Dual Lead Screw design will also stabilize the machine during
tall prints.
Auto-resume feature: In case of a power failure, the Creality CR-10 S5
remembers where it left off and will resume printing when you start it up again.
Heated bed: The Creality CR-10 S5 has a heated bed that lets you operate and
experiment with a lot of materials.
Connections: Connection-wise the Creality CR-10 S5 offers Micro-SD card and
a USB connector.
Removable glass bed: The bed can easily be removed to pluck the print off the
bed. Also, Creality throws in a spool of Kapton tape if you don’t want to print on
the bed directly.
Improved build quality: In comparison to the Creality CR-10, the quality of the
parts has been ramped up in the Creality CR-10 S5. Instead of using 3D printed
components, the frame uses injection-molded parts and aluminum rods.

To make matters even more complicated, Creality offers a “CR-10 S5” model.
This one has an even bigger build volume of 500 x 500 x 500 mm. Otherwise, it‘s
based on the Creality CR-10S.
