Known Issues

moderate

Open frame limits engineering filaments

Without an enclosure, ABS, ASA, and other high-warp materials are not recommended. Use PLA, PETG, or TPU on the base model.

Mitigation: For engineering filaments, use the Creator 5 Pro (enclosed) or add a DIY enclosure.

low

Four-toolhead mechanical complexity

Each toolhead requires individual calibration and alignment. New users may find initial setup more involved than single-extruder machines.

Mitigation: Run the automatic calibration routine before first print and after any toolhead swap.
