| Build Volume (mm) | 260×260×300 | 350×350×350 | 220×220×250 | 300×300×300 |
| Max Print Speed | 500 mm/s | 600 mm/s | 600 mm/s | 600 mm/s |
| Extruder | – Direct-drive extruder with steel gears and integrated, all-metal hotend (Tri-Metal nozzle). – Quick-swap nozzles (0.4 mm standard, optional 0.6/0.8 mm). |
– Dual-gear direct-drive extruder (1.75 mm filament) for consistent feeding of standard and engineering-grade filaments. – Hardened-steel nozzle (0.4 mm standard, up to 350 °C). |
– All-metal direct-drive extruder built around a bolster spring + ball-plunger mechanism, providing consistent, clog-free extrusion. – Tri-metal “Unicorn” nozzle (steel tip with titanium-alloy heat-break) for high-temperature/abrasive materials. |
– Dual-gear direct-drive extruder (all-metal assembly) with hardened-steel nozzle (0.4 mm standard, optional 0.6/0.8 mm). – Titanium-alloy heatsink; Core XY motion ensures fast, precise extrusion up to 600 mm/s. |
| AI Detection & Monitoring | – Basic monitoring camera (“Überwachungskamera”) for live print viewing, but no dedicated AI failure-detection module. – Filament run-out and tangle sensors (built into CFS when used). |
– AI camera for monitoring (real-time print surveillance, spaghetti/foreign-object alerts). – AI-assisted bed-leveling camera (auto first-layer scanning to detect tilt or bad adhesion). – Filament-runout and tangle detection through onboard sensors. |
– Built-in AI camera (standard). • Monitors prints and sends active alerts for spaghetti failures or foreign-object collisions (when paired with Creality Print/Cloud). • Enables real-time monitoring and time-lapse recording. • Note: some users report occasional failure to catch very fine spaghetti early. |
– AI LiDAR + AI camera combo: • LiDAR sensors map first layer for optimal bed adhesion and flow calibration. • AI camera continuously scans for failures (spaghetti, layer shifts, foreign objects) and can trigger automatic pause. • Supports time-lapse filming and remote alerts via Creality Cloud. |
