Extra features The BIQU B1 is an advanced 3D printer with a silent 32-bit BTT SKR V1.4 motherboard and ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, offering DIY interfaces (I2C, SPI, WiFi) and dual Z-axis. Its dual BTT B1 TFT35 V3.0 operating system allows real-time monitoring and multiple printing modes, including G-code visualization effects. It stands out for its BIQU SSS (Super Spring Steel), ensuring easy model adhesion and simplified removal, with the possibility of using it on both sides. It includes a filament sensor, automatically pausing printing in case of filament breakage. The multicolored RGB lights integrated into the hotend allow you to view the printing status even at night. Additional notes include the need for a BIQU-specific Type-C cable and extra interfaces for smart filament sensor and BL Touch. Creality’s Ender 7 printer offers remarkable print speeds, utilizing CoreXY kinematics for precise and fast movement. With a 250x250x300mm build area, dual direct extruder, and custom hotend, the Ender 7 is capable of printing at high speeds, although quality may suffer on smaller prints. Assembly is relatively straightforward, but the machine is noisy and can get hot. Its true speed potential is most noticeable on larger prints, where it outperforms its competitors.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) NO NO

Conclusion

In concluding the comparison between the BIQU B1 and Creality Ender 7 3D printers, several key factors emerge that highlight their strengths and weaknesses.

The **BIQU B1**, priced more affordably, offers a commendable blend of features suitable for hobbyists and entry-level users. Its silent operation, advanced motherboard, and user-friendly dual Z-axis enhance its printing experience. Additionally, the inclusion of features like a filament sensor and easy print removal via the unique bed technology demonstrates thoughtful design. However, the BIQU B1 does not shine in terms of print volume or overall performance compared to its competitor.

In contrast, the **Creality Ender 7** commands a higher price but justifies it with its impressive print speeds and larger print volume. The CoreXY kinematics ensure precision and efficiency, particularly on larger prints, making it a more powerful option for serious users who require higher performance and are willing to deal with potential noise and heat issues.

When evaluating cost-to-performance ratios, while both models score similarly, the Ender 7 holds a slight edge in print capability. However, for budget-conscious individuals who still want a reliable and feature-rich 3D printer, the BIQU B1 presents a viable and attractive option.

Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the user's specific needs: if affordability and user-friendly features are prioritized, the BIQU B1 is an excellent choice; however, for those prioritizing print speed and capability for larger projects, the Ender 7 may warrant the extra investment.
