Auto-Filament Identification
The Creality CFS (Creality Filament System)revolutionizes 3D printing with Auto-Filament Identification technology that instantly recognizes your filament type and specifications. Simply load your spool, and the system automatically detects material properties like PLA, PETG, or ABS, eliminating manual setup and guesswork. This smart feature prevents printing failures by automatically applying the correct temperature and speed settings for each material. Compatible with Creality's K2 series and Hi printers, CFS makes multi-color printing effortless while reducing waste and ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.
Auto-Filament Mapping
Creality’s CFS Auto-Filament Mapping feature streamlines multi-color 3D printing by automatically assigning each filament to its correct color slot. When you load up to 16 spools, the system instantly detects and maps filament positions, so your slicer software knows exactly which filament feeds into each extruder channel. This eliminates manual tracking and reduces misprints caused by color mix-ups. Auto-Filament Mapping ensures smooth, accurate transitions between hues, saving time and material while delivering vibrant, professional-quality prints every time.
Temperature & Humidity Display
The Creality CFS features a real-time Temperature & Humidity Display that lets you instantly monitor your filament storage conditions, ensuring optimal print performance. With the built-in sensor and clear LCD readout, you can see exact temperature and relative humidity inside the CFS chamber at a glance. This proactive monitoring helps prevent moisture absorption - one of the leading causes of brittle, stringy prints - by alerting you when humidity rises above safe levels, typically below 45% RH. Combined with its moisture-proof storage design, the display ensures your PLA, PETG, ABS, and specialty filaments remain dry and ready for perfect prints every time.
Auto Run-Out/Tangle Detection
The Creality CFS includes Auto Run-Out and Tangle Detection, a smart safety feature that pauses your print job if filament feed stops or tangles, preventing failed prints and wasted material. Sensors continuously monitor filament flow, instantly detecting breaks or jams and alerting you via the touchscreen before your printer extruder runs empty. Once you clear the issue and reload the correct spool, CFS automatically resumes at the precise layer, preserving print integrity and saving time. This hands-off protection ensures longer prints especially multi-color jobs complete flawlessly.
Moisture-proof Filament Storage
The Creality CFS offers hermetic, moisture-proof filament storage that shields spools from humidity and dust for consistently reliable prints. Inside its airtight chamber, integrated desiccant packs actively absorb moisture while the built-in Temperature & Humidity Display keeps you informed of environmental conditions in real time. This design prevents brittle, stringy, or bubbled prints caused by damp filament, ensuring that PLA, PETG, ABS, and specialty materials remain perfectly dry and ready to use. The CFS moisture-proof storage system virtually eliminates filament degradation and reduces waste for worry-free 3D printing every time.
Cardboard Spool Compatibility
The Creality CFS is designed to accommodate a wide range of filament spools, including standard cardboard reels, ensuring seamless integration into your 3D printing workflow. Its adjustable spool holders support various spool widths and hub diameters, so whether you’re using eco-friendly cardboard spools or sturdy plastic reels, CFS handles them all without manual adapters. This versatility lets makers switch between filament brands and materials effortlessly, reducing setup time and keeping prints on track. The system guarantees smooth filament feeding and reliable multi-color performance every time.
