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. Elegoo Mars 5 features a 6.6” 4K monochrome LCD screen and 35um XY resolution, with auto-leveling and system check at startup. It includes smart sensors to alert for leveling failure, resin shortage, and residue detection. Using MSLA technology with a 405 nm COB light source, it also offers a 3.5” touch screen and supports various resins, including washable, ABS-like, and plant-based types.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) NO NO

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BIQU B1 and Elegoo Mars 5 are both competitive 3D printers, each catering to different user needs and preferences. The BIQU B1, priced higher, offers a larger print volume, versatility with filament materials, and advanced features such as power loss recovery and a dual Z-axis system. It's ideal for users looking for a robust, DIY-friendly option that can handle a variety of projects and potentially larger prints.

On the other hand, the Elegoo Mars 5, although more affordable and releasing later in 2024, excels in providing high-resolution prints with its resin-based technology and features like auto-leveling and smart sensors. It’s well-suited for users prioritizing precision and detail, particularly in smaller-scale projects.

Ultimately, the choice between these two models depends on the specific needs of the user: if larger builds and adaptability with filaments are key, the BIQU B1 is preferable; conversely, if high-resolution detail and a lower initial cost are priorities, the Elegoo Mars 5 stands out as an excellent option.
