FULLY ENCLOSED PRINT AREA 200 x 200 x 200 mm is what you’ll get to print into with this new CR-200B. Not particularly sizeable in terms of a build area, just about average in all honesty. It’s fully enclosed though, meaning you can keep a stable temperature inside it and that theoretically means that some of the more temperature mental filaments will find it a bit easier to become a nice looking print.

PERFORMANCE NOZZLE KIT Sounds sporty, doesn’t it? Aside from having two fans, we’re not sure what makes this particularly performance-y, but Creality says that this new nozzle setup will be smoother, more stable, and offer superior wear resistance.

It takes 1.75 mm filament as you’d expect, and can reach a maximum temperature of 260 C, which is about as hot as you need at this point.

SMART FILAMENT SENSOR This sort of joins together the functions of resume printing and a filament sensor. If the little sensor doesn’t sense any filament, or it senses a breakage, it will tell your CR-200B to stop and wait for some to appear though, meaning you hopefully won’t ever have to start a whole print again if you run out of filament. Instead, you can just reload and resume.

4.3-INCH COLOR TOUCHSCREEN You just don’t have a modern piece of technology unless there’s some sort of touchscreen attached to it, but you can’t deny they make our lives easier. 4.3-inches is a decent size for a 3D printer too, hopefully giving enough space to prevent Homer Simpson-Esque phone dialing moments.

BEST OF THE REST Creality also says the CR-200B will ship with a silent motherboard, a glass print bed that heats up to 100 C, as well as online printing and remote control via the Creality Box Wi-Fi system that’ll be an optional extra. Oh, and there’s a nice little LED inside the CR-200B too, so you can watch your print come to life under some mood lighting. Drama.
