Print Quality

The Creality CR-5 Pro High-temp Version is an FFF/FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers but is more than enough for prototyping and household use. 

The printer is equipped with a 0.4 mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail. 

The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, which makes printing consistent, fast, and precise. 

Materials

The Creality CR-5 Pro High-temp Version can print with PLA, TPU, ABS, and other high-temperature 1.75 mm filaments. 

The printer’s extruder is equipped with a fan that cools the model during printing, reducing warping, stringing, and other common 3D printing problems.

Unlike many FDM printers, the Creality CR-5 Pro High-temp Version has a Carborundum glass-coated heated print bed and a fully enclosed print chamber, which means it can reliably print with ABS and other high-temperature plastics.

Build Volume

The printer offers a decent build volume of 300 x 225 x 380 mm (12 x 9 x 15 inches) that lets you print a single large model or simultaneously print several smaller ones in one go.

The printer can be used with a number of different software solutions like Cura, Simplify3d, Creality, and Repetier-Host slicers. It works with .STL, .OBJ, and .AMF file formats.
