Extra features	Longer LK4 X offers intelligent 16-point auto-leveling and dual direct-gear extruders for precise filament control, compatible with multiple materials. It features an ultra-quiet 32-bit motherboard and open-source firmware, promoting creative freedom. Its PEI film platform ensures strong adhesion and easy model removal. Includes resume printing functions and filament out-of-stock protection. Assembly is simple, with 95% pre-assembled. It has a 4.3-inch touch screen, dual fan kit, low power consumption, manual belt tensioners and improved Teflon tube.	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, the comparison between the Longer 3D LK4 X and the Creality 3D Ender 5 Plus highlights distinct advantages that cater to different user needs and budgets.

The LK4 X emerges as a more affordable choice, making it ideal for beginners or casual users seeking a capable 3D printer without a significant financial commitment. Its intelligent features, such as 16-point auto-leveling and dual direct-gear extruders, enhance usability and precision. Furthermore, the printer's compact size and lower weight make it easier to manage and reposition within a workspace.

On the other hand, the Ender 5 Plus takes the lead in print volume and performance, suitable for users looking to undertake larger projects or those who require high dimensional accuracy. Its robust construction, although heavier and potentially more complex in setup, promises reliability for extensive printing tasks. However, its need for slicer adjustments and the associated cost may deter more casual users.

Overall, the LK4 X offers a favorable cost-benefit balance for newcomers, while the Ender 5 Plus is better suited for experienced users who prioritize print volume and detailed control, albeit at a higher investment. The decision between the two ultimately depends on the user's specific requirements, budget, and level of expertise in 3D printing.
