Extra features	The Creality Ender 6 stands out in the world of 3D printers with its CoreXY system, offering fast and high-quality prints. With a robust design, it has acrylic panels to protect against air currents, optimizing the printing of materials that require higher temperatures. It features a generic Creality hotend, effective up to ~240°C. Its differentials include 10mm GATES belts, promoting stability at high speeds, and a 360W power supply for reliable performance. The machine also has an intuitive user interface through a 4.3-inch touchscreen.	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 conclusion, when comparing the Creality Ender 6 and Ender 5 Plus, both models offer distinct advantages, making them suitable for different user needs. The Ender 6, released in 2020, showcases a more advanced design with its CoreXY system, which allows for faster and high-quality prints. Its enclosed structure helps maintain optimal printing conditions, making it particularly well-suited for materials that require more stable temperatures. It also shines with robust build quality and intuitive user interface features. While the Ender 5 Plus, launched in 2019, offers a larger print volume, its automatic bed leveling and dimensional accuracy are appealing for users who require precision in their large-format prints. However, it necessitates more refinement in slicer settings for optimal output and may be noisier during operation compared to the Ender 6. From a cost-benefit perspective, the Ender 6 has a slight edge, particularly considering its advanced features and overall print quality potential. The Ender 5 Plus, although slightly more expensive, is ideal for those prioritizing print volume over speed and advanced design. Ultimately, the choice between the two 3D printers rests on specific user priorities: the Ender 6 is better for speed and temperature stability, while the Ender 5 Plus is favorable for larger prints with an emphasis on dimensional accuracy.
