Extra features 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. Creality's CR-10 Smart Pro printer offers a large 300x300x400mm build volume, Sprite Pro direct extruder for multiple materials, CR Touch auto-leveling, PEI magnetic bed, 4.3" touchscreen, LED lighting, and Creality Cloud connectivity. Some areas of improvement include the use of brass spindle nuts and tinned wires.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the Creality Ender 5 Plus and the CR-10 Smart Pro are solid options for 3D printing enthusiasts, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The Ender 5 Plus stands out with its larger print volume, allowing for bigger projects, and generally faster printing speeds. It also offers robust features such as a filament end sensor and power loss recovery, making it reliable in maintaining print continuity. However, it requires some adjustments to the slicer settings for optimal performance and can be somewhat noisy during operation.

On the other hand, the CR-10 Smart Pro comes with advanced features like a direct extruder for enhanced material compatibility, an assistive bed leveling system, and multiple connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and Ethernet. It also boasts user-friendly elements such as a touchscreen display and integrated LED lighting. However, it has a slightly smaller print volume compared to the Ender 5 Plus and operates at a slower maximum printing speed.

When considering price, the Ender 5 Plus provides a more budget-friendly option while still delivering significant capabilities for various printing needs, especially for larger projects. The CR-10 Smart Pro, while pricier, offers additional features that may justify the cost for users seeking ease of use and versatility in materials.

Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on individual preferences and specific use cases. For those focused on maximizing print size and speed at a lower price point, the Ender 5 Plus is an excellent choice. Conversely, users prioritizing advanced features and connectivity may find the CR-10 Smart Pro to be more appealing despite the higher investment.
