Extra features	Creality's Ender 3 S1 PRO is an innovation in the Ender 3 series, featuring a Sprite Pro Extruder capable of reaching 300°C and dual lead screws on the Z axis, ensuring greater stability and print quality. Its PEI-coated print bed, combined with CR-Touch automatic leveling, provides excellent adhesion and ease of part removal. The user interface, via a 4.3-inch touchscreen, offers intuitive and efficient control, although it has some limitations regarding the handling of long file names and navigation. The well-designed extruder ensures effective cooling and handling of various filaments, although there may be a slight ghosting effect at high speeds due to its weight. This printer represents a balance between technological advances and operational challenges, remaining faithful to the quality expected of the Ender line.	The Anycubic Photon M3 Premium Printer features MSLA technology with a 10-inch monochrome LCD screen and 8K resolution, ensuring prints with fine details thanks to the 28.5 micron resolution. It has a generous build volume (219 x 123 x 250 mm), an intelligent cooling system for greater durability, and a laser-etched build plate for better adhesion. It offers dual air filters, reducing odors, and the promise of compatibility with the Anycubic Cloud app. Its design includes an Art Deco-style UV curved glass and an efficient leveling system for the build platform.

Conclusion

In comparing the Ender 3 S1 PRO and the Anycubic Photon M3 Premium, we observe distinct strengths and weaknesses that cater to different user needs. The Ender 3 S1 PRO is a versatile FDM printer, ideal for hobbyists and moderately experienced users interested in a balance of quality and affordability. It offers a larger print volume, power loss recovery, and features like a high-temperature extruder and automatic leveling, making it user-friendly and reliable for diverse printing tasks. Its cost-effectiveness is further enhanced by its accessible price point compared to the Photon M3 Premium. On the other hand, the Anycubic Photon M3 Premium, while more expensive, specializes in high-resolution resin printing. It boasts exceptional detail capabilities due to its 8K resolution, making it suitable for applications requiring intricate designs and smooth finishes, such as miniatures or model parts. However, it lacks some of the user-friendly features found in the Ender 3 S1 PRO, like power recovery, and is slightly heavier, which may affect portability. Ultimately, if you prioritize larger print size, ease of use, and versatility in materials, the Ender 3 S1 PRO emerges as the better choice for general 3D printing needs. Conversely, if your focus is on achieving the highest detail quality for specialized projects, the Photon M3 Premium stands out despite its higher price and operational limitations. Therefore, the best option depends on your specific printing requirements and budget constraints.
