A guy down in Baltimore had the cr-10 for sale for only a hundred bucks. He said it was throwing an error whenever he tried to run the extruder. Had thrown away the receipt and it sat. He said that he couldn't return it, which made absolutely no sense since he bought it on Amazon. But whatever good deal for me.
I dug around and figured out that it had a bad thermistor, which was causing the board to error out whenever I try to heat up the hot end. So for an investment of $7 I replaced it in about 20 minutes and got it up and running.
More evidence that Creality's QA is just not reliable.
But hey, it enables guys like me to get great deals.

Since it has a massive build volume, I think I'm going to focus on making this one for making large parts quickly, which is often an issue for the robotics teams.
Already researching high flow hot ends, and they replace the Bowden feed with direct drive to open up more options for materials. Just need to find out how that will affect speed
