Creality Hi Combo
Budget multi color bed slinger with a 4 spool CFS and RFID
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Creality Hi Combo worth it? The Hi Combo is one of the cheapest ways to get 4 color printing in a well built package, with RFID filament detection and reliable auto leveling. It costs $449 as of Nov 4, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
The Hi Combo is one of the cheapest ways to get 4 color printing in a well built package, with RFID filament detection and reliable auto leveling. It suits hobbyists who print colorful PLA and PETG models. Skip it if you print TPU or hate waste, since it cannot print TPU and Tom's Hardware saw purge waste nearly equal to the printed part on a 4 color job.
Best for: cheap multi color PLA printing. Skip if: you need TPU or low purge waste.
Specs
- Build volume
- 260 x 260 x 300 mm (Tom's Hardware)
- Print speed
- Up to 500 mm/s (Creality); All3DP says about 300 mm/s is typical
- Multi color
- Yes, 4 colors with the included CFS, up to 16 with four chained units (Creality); single nozzle, so it purges on each swap
- Enclosure
- No, open bed slinger; All3DP notes a covered design that hides moving parts
- Auto leveling
- Yes, automatic Z leveling with an optional pre print recheck (Tom's Hardware)
- Max nozzle temp
- 300 C (Tom's Hardware, All3DP)
- Heated bed
- Yes, 1,000 W bed that heats in about a minute (All3DP); bed max temperature not stated
- Filament types
- PLA and PETG; Tom's Hardware found it cannot print TPU even with the CFS bypassed
3 year cost of ownership
- Robot
- $449
- Total
- $449
No subscription is needed. Running cost is mostly filament. Purge waste is high on multi color prints, so a 3 year total is not computed.

What independent reviewers found
- Benchy in 32 min 33 s at standard settings with no ringing. A 4 color PETG fairy door used 32.32 g of filament and wasted 23.25 g in purge. A 2 color PLA fidget took 9 h 20 min with 0.64 g waste. Could not print TPU.
- Tom's Hardware
- Called it a by the books single nozzle multicolor printer worth the price, with early adopter caveats. A multicolor test took just over 10 hours and about 260 g of filament, where a Prusa MK4 with MMU3 used under half the filament. Saw clogs, firmware bugs and limited third party filament support.

How does it compare with the Bambu Lab A1 Combo?
Tom's Hardware says it costs about $50 more than the A1 at MSRP without being clearly better, though it has a taller 300 mm build height.
