CCTREE Creality CR 10S

First, the clarification this page has always needed: CCTREE is a filament brand, not a printer — there is no “CCTREE CR-10S” machine. CCTREE makes 1.75 mm filament (and printing accessories), and the CR-10S is the Creality printer this page’s visitors run it on. So this article does the honest version of its title: what CCTREE filament is, which of its materials suit a CR-10S-class Bowden machine, and the temperatures and habits that get good results from it.

CCTREE’s range, in practical terms

Material	Character	Starting temperatures on a CR-10S
PLA / PLA+	The brand’s staple — everyday printing filament; the “+” variants aim at slightly tougher, less brittle prints	Nozzle ~200–215 °C, bed ~55–60 °C — tune by temperature tower within the spool’s label range
PETG	Stronger, more heat-tolerant functional filament; strings more than PLA	Nozzle ~230–245 °C, bed ~75–85 °C; mind the stock PTFE tube’s temperature ceiling (our CR-10 temperature guide explains it)
TPU (flexible)	Flexible filament; printable on a Bowden CR-10S slowly with a well-restrained path	Nozzle ~220–235 °C, slow speeds, retraction kept low or off
Cleaning filament	One of CCTREE’s better-known products — run through the hotend between materials to purge residue	Used at the higher of the two materials’ temperatures it sits between

Those numbers are honest starting points, not revelations: CCTREE’s spools print their own recommended ranges, and any specific spool deserves a quick temperature tower rather than faith in any article’s table — this one included. What can be said plainly is that CCTREE built its reputation on the budget-friendly end of the filament market, and its PLA-class materials behave accordingly: perfectly serviceable everyday filament where the owner’s job is the normal one — keep it dry, tune the temperature, don’t expect premium-brand consistency at a spool-to-spool level beyond what the label promises.

Running it on a CR-10S — the machine-specific notes

• Bowden discipline: the CR-10S pushes filament through a long tube, so flexible materials (TPU) want slow, steady feeding, and any filament wants a healthy extruder gear and a clear path. Jams blamed on a filament are often the machine’s ageing PTFE couplers instead.
• Dry storage matters more than brand: PETG and TPU pick up moisture eagerly. A spool that pops and strings has usually been rained on by the room, whatever logo it wears. Dry storage, and drying a suspect spool, fixes more “bad filament” than switching brands does.
• The cleaning filament habit: if you alternate between PETG and PLA on the same machine, a purge with cleaning filament at changes prevents the slow carbon build-up that becomes mystery clogs — the CR-10S’s hotend thanks you quietly by not jamming mid-print.
• Card and files: none of this changes the machine’s basics — slice for the CR-10S profile and load the card as usual (the SD card guide covers file discipline for this printer family).

Frequently asked questions

Is CCTREE a 3D printer brand?

No — CCTREE is a filament and accessories brand. There is no CCTREE CR-10S printer; the CR-10S is Creality’s machine, and CCTREE filament is simply one of the filaments owners run on it.

Is CCTREE filament any good?

It is established budget-market filament: its PLA and PLA+ are widely used everyday materials, and its cleaning filament is a genuinely known product. Expect to do the normal work — dry storage and a temperature tower per spool — rather than premium-brand set-and-forget consistency.

What temperature should I print CCTREE PLA at on a CR-10S?

Start around 205–210 °C nozzle with a 55–60 °C bed, inside the range printed on your spool, and confirm with a small temperature tower — individual spools and individual machines vary more than brand tables admit.

Can a CR-10S print CCTREE TPU?

Yes, gently: flexible filament works through the CR-10S’s Bowden setup at slow speeds with minimal retraction, provided the filament path is in good condition. Softer grades get progressively harder for a Bowden to push — that is physics, not this brand.
