Creality Hi and Hi Combo: The Big Open Bedslinger With CFS
LayerWalker is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site, at no extra cost to you.
The Creality Hi is a 260 × 260 × 300 mm open bedslinger with a 300 °C hotend, 100 °C bed, 500 mm/s and 12000 mm/s². The Hi Combo adds the CFS for four-colour printing. It is Creality’s answer to the Bambu A1 Combo, with a taller bed. It is sold through Creality rather than Amazon US; the listings below are the Amazon alternatives in the same class. Figures are manufacturer data.

Hi against the Bambu A1
Same idea: an open bedslinger with an auto-calibrating hotend and an optional four-spool feeder. The Hi is taller by 44 mm and its CFS is a sealed dry box, where the A1’s AMS lite is open to the room. The A1 has more automated calibration and a much larger accessory ecosystem. Buyers who print PETG in a humid room may prefer the Hi for the dry CFS alone; see drying filament.
What the open frame excludes
ABS and ASA warp at 260 mm without a chamber. An aftermarket tent helps; see Hi enclosure. Nylon and PC are outside its envelope. Treat it as a PLA, PETG and TPU printer, and fit a hardened nozzle before fibre blends.
Combo or single
The Combo makes sense for multi-colour work or for anyone who wants sealed spool storage on an open printer. Single-material users should buy the Hi alone and read Hi upgrades for the useful additions: a spare plate first.
The units in the box
The Hi is not listed on Amazon US. Shown instead are the machines you would cross-shop it against there: the Creality K2 SE, the Anycubic Kobra X and the enclosed Creality K2 Combo with CFS.
FAQ
Does the Hi use the same CFS as the K2 Plus? Yes, the same unit.
