Creality Hi Combo 3D Printer Multi Color - Fast, Preassembled 10.24in

In this review the Creality Hi Combo 3D Printer stands out as a near-ready, multi color desktop machine aimed at makers who value speed and simplicity. The single biggest reason to consider it is the Creality Filament System (CFS) and built-in RFID reader, which together make multi color workflows and material management far less fiddly than traditional setups. For hobbyists, educators, and small studios who want quick set up and reliable multi color output, this printer removes much of the usual filament wrangling while still offering a robust all-metal build.

Key Features

• Creality Filament System (CFS): Automatic filament selection, switching, and relaying with airtight storage keeps spools ready and enables up to 16-color printing when multiple CFS units are connected.
• Built-in RFID filament reader: The base sensor automatically detects Creality RFID filament color and type so users can load and print without manual filament configuration.
• Advanced automatic bed leveling: Motorized X-axis screws and a strain gauge-equipped toolhead create a precise leveling mesh to improve first-layer adhesion without manual tweaking.
• Whisper-quiet operation: Dynamically balanced fans and frictionless rails reduce noise to around 48 dB for use in home or office environments.
• Hassle-free setup: The printer arrives 95% pre-assembled with a fold-away display, boot-up guide, and webcam with privacy cap to simplify initial use and remote monitoring.
• All-metal frame and linear rails: Die-cast aluminum alloy construction and precision rails deliver stable, accurate motion for repeated prints.

Who It's For

The Hi Combo is best suited for makers and small shops that need multi color prints without complex manual filament handling; the CFS and RFID reader save time when switching colors and materials. It also fits educators and designers who want a mostly ready-to-run machine that minimizes assembly and leveling steps.

It may be less appropriate for absolute budget buyers who do not need multi color capability or for users who prefer fully custom open-frame kits; while it is highly capable, the value proposition centers on convenience and integrated filament management rather than the lowest entry cost.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Integrated CFS makes multi color printing straightforward and protects filament in airtight storage.
• RFID filament reader removes manual filament setup and speeds workflow for Creality-brand spools.
• Automatic bed leveling with a strain gauge provides a consistent first layer across prints.
• Quiet operation and a sturdy all-metal frame make it suitable for shared spaces.

Cons

• Advanced features rely on Creality ecosystem components, so full benefit is tied to compatible filament and CFS units.

Our Verdict

The Creality Hi Combo is recommended for users who prioritize multi color workflows and ease of use; its CFS and RFID reader meaningfully reduce setup friction while the automatic leveling and rigid metal frame support reliable prints. For those invested in the Creality ecosystem, it represents good value by trading some DIY flexibility for time saved and more predictable multi color output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this printer support multi color printing out of the box?
The printer supports multi color workflows via the Creality Filament System and can switch filaments automatically when using compatible CFS units and RFID filaments.

How much assembly is required?
The Hi Combo arrives about 95% pre-assembled, with simple setup steps, a fold-away display, and a boot-up quick guide to help start printing quickly.

Is the bed leveling automated?
Yes. It uses motorized X-axis screws and a strain gauge in the toolhead to create an accurate leveling mesh for consistent first layers.
