CR 10 printer question

they can be good printers . But there are several variants and they may come as a kit or preassembled.

Or possibly Anet cloned the Crealty  ??

I don't have CR-10. But I want that printer for a long time, so I read a lot about it. It is overall good printer and received lots of good comment. It is very easy to put together and can get your first print out with little fine tune. Large build volume.

ANET E10, CREALITY CR-10, and HICTOP CR-10 are basically same machine. There are also Tronxy X3S and TEVO Tornado with similar design.

The main concern is the heated bed heat up slow (15 minuts to 100C, 160W power supply may be the reason. max nozzle temperature is 230C).

2nd concern is single z-axis for 300 mm wide print bed.

3rd, check if it already include MOSFET upgrade to avoid main board burning issue.

The reason I have not decide to buy it because multiple complain about the noise. The main board have the pot to adjust motor current, but I think reduce motor current will increase the chance of layer shift given the heavy print bed.

Power supply have always been an issue for large printers.
go from an 8" x 8" or 200mm x 200mm bed to 300 x 300 and you double the area and therefore the power of the heater. so you need a PS that can drive it . the common workaround is going to a 24 volt system  but all components need to be able to handle this. Or you can run a heater off the mains and use a relay to control it.  The other alternative is a bigger cap 12 volt PS .
