In this video I will take you through the assembly / setup and my experience with the Creality CR-10 Smart printer as I have now owned it for several months. I was given this printer for review by SainSmart so please go check them out if you decide that this printer is something you would be interested in:

It boasts a large build volume at 300mm x 300mm x 400mm and features a 32 bit processor along with built in wifi capability using the Creality Cloud app.
This printer has a lot of nice features and it looks like the Creality team put a fair amount of attention to detail into it. The prints that come off this machine are great and there is no doubt it is a very capable printer. I have no complaints there.
However... Creality does have a few things to work on. Namely the firmware. I think the printer has so much potential but they really need to get their firmware in order before releasing products like this. I had a firmware bug where my printer would freeze at the end of a print, leaving the nozzle on. Also, the touchscreen could use more options to allow for more functionality. Although it is a really nice interface, it lacks the depth of functions and options seen in other printers. Also, the user interface could be more intuitive when it comes to setting up important things like bed levelling (manual / auto) as well as setting the z offset.
Overall, I still enjoy using this printer and would recommend it to others who don't mind a little bit of tinkering. If you're looking for something with higher quality control that is guaranteed to work right out of the box I think the market still requires you to spend more money. In this case you get a lot of features for the money but you might have to do a bit of work to tie them all together in a polished package that is easy to use.
I did not cover any modifications to the printer in this video as I wanted to review it in its natural form. However, see the links below for how I solved my auto bed leveling error:

And check here for how I unlocked this printer, allowing me to use OctoPrint and PrusaSlicer to achieve a wireless slicer to print solution that you can use instead of Creality Cloud. I think this is a much more powerful solution.
