Extra features	The Creality CR-10 Smart stands out for its stability, with a dual Z axis and additional supports, minimizing oscillation in high prints. Its redesigned hotend offers better cooling, expanding the range of usable materials. The glass printing surface, with automatic leveling, facilitates the adhesion and removal of parts. Includes Wi-Fi / LAN connection and automatic shutdown after printing, adding convenience and efficiency. It features an effective single-gear extruder and an intuitive touchscreen interface, despite some firmware issues.	The Ender 5 Plus offers a large print volume (350x350x400 mm) and fast assembly. It includes a BLTouch sensor, but with range limitations. It stands out for its dimensional accuracy, although it requires adjustments to the slicer settings. Despite the noise, its integrated design saves space, and includes features such as a filament sensor and power resumption. Ideal for large projects, it requires refinement in the settings for high-quality prints.

Conclusion

In concluding the comparison between the Creality CR-10 Smart and the Ender 5 Plus, we see a nuanced choice tailored to specific user needs and budget considerations.

The CR-10 Smart, while being the more affordable option, boasts modern features such as enhanced stability from its dual Z-axis design, an upgraded hotend for better cooling, and convenient Wi-Fi connectivity. This model appeals to those seeking a reliable printer with a balance of performance and efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of filament types.

On the other hand, the Ender 5 Plus presents a larger print volume and strong dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for larger projects. However, it does require careful adjustments to slicer settings to achieve optimal results and is generally noted for more noise during operation.

Ultimately, if budget constraints are a priority alongside a variety of materials and user-friendly features, the CR-10 Smart is recommended. Conversely, for users who need a larger build area and are willing to invest time in tweaking settings for quality, the Ender 5 Plus could be the right choice despite its higher price point. Both printers offer robust capabilities, but one may align better with specific project goals and user preferences.
