Creality Sonic Pad: A Thorough Review 2024

In this world of rapidly evolving technology, there are inventions that make our job much easier. One of such inventions is the Creality Sonic Pad which seamlessly interacts and connects with the FDM based 3D printers to make everything better manageable than ever while giving you exclusively more benefits.

It is a 3D printing pad based on Klipper, a 3D printer firmware which allows you to enjoy the process of 3D printing and make it much more user friendly. It comes with a great computing power and has options like AI Detection and Remote Control.

Features & Design

The Creality Sonic Pad comes with a 7” Touch Screen along with 2 GB of RAM and 8GB of ROM and a 64-bit processor making it perfect in its computing power. It features RJ45 port as well so that you can always stay connected without interruption however, the Wi-Fi is present too.

On the outside it is made up of hard plastic making it lighter yet feels premium while providing a good build quality. The pad itself sits on the two legs and consists of multiple other ports like USB port, PS/2 port usually for the accelerometer and calibration purposes and an Ethernet port.

It also features the status LEDs on the right side of the Pad and the power button. The setup is fairly simple as mentioned above and it guides you through the setup as soon as it powers on for the first time.

In short, Creality Sonic Pad is a well-built device considering the hardware and the software. It is compatible with most of the printers and most importantly halves your printer printing speed.

What we really loved about the Creality Sonic Pad is of course the simple set-up process and easy to use nature of the device. The included Web UI is an important aspect of this Creality Sonic Pad allowing you to make changes on the go and even monitor them which is certainly not possible with the stock firmware.

Compatibility

Creality Sonic Pad supports most of the FDM based printers. We have gradually extended the compatibility to many more printers we have and continue to do.

Although using a supported printer with the Sonic Pad is fairly easy to set up with the on-screen instruction but the Sonic Pad can still be used with a non-supported printer, however, you will have to figure out a lot more on your own in order to set up the Sonic Pad with non-supported printers.
