Extra features	The Longer LK4 is a versatile 3D printer capable of working with a wide range of filaments, such as PLA, ABS, TPU, copper, wood and carbon fiber, thanks to its 0.4mm nozzle and heated bed up to 110°C. With a printing accuracy of between 0.05-0.4mm, it stands out for its solid construction with an aluminum frame, weighing around 7kg, and a robust 24V and 15A power supply. The kit includes an Allen key, a 7/10 key, a microSD card with USB adapter, a spatula, cable ties, a power cable, 5m of filament and a spare filament end sensor. Assembly is simplified, with around 90% of the equipment pre-assembled, and detailed instructions assist in the process. Special features include print recovery after power failure, a filament end sensor, a super-adhesive printing surface and an intuitive color touchscreen display. The design features smooth profiles for easy assembly, and the position of the filament holder optimizes the filament path to the extruder. The LK4 is a solid choice for 3D printing enthusiasts looking for quality and versatility.	The Creality HALOT SKY stands out with its 8.9-inch 4K monochrome display, ensuring detailed prints. Its robust construction includes dual linear rails and a ball screw on the Z-axis, offering precise movements. Equipped with an ARM Cortex-A53 Quad-Core processor and Wi-Fi, it provides a responsive and connected user experience. The flip cover saves space and the 120W UV source ensures uniform curing. In addition, the HALOT SKY supports OTA firmware updates and integration with Creality Cloud, increasing efficiency and convenience in use.

Conclusion

In comparing the Longer 3D LK4 and the Creality 3D Halot Sky, users will need to carefully consider their priorities when selecting a 3D printer. The LK4, with its affordability, versatile filament compatibility, and intuitive assembly process, is well-suited for beginners or budget-conscious enthusiasts. Its solid construction and features such as power loss recovery and a filament end sensor provide additional value, making it a reliable choice for educational purposes or personal projects. On the other hand, the Halot Sky, although significantly more expensive, offers superior performance capabilities, particularly in terms of print resolution and precision. The advanced 4K display and responsive ARM processor enhance the user experience, especially for users who prioritize detail and accuracy in their prints. It also has robust hardware support that allows for more intricate projects but lacks some safety features such as power loss recovery. Ultimately, the LK4 is an excellent option for those looking for cost-effectiveness without sacrificing too much in versatility and functionality, while the Halot Sky may appeal to users who require high-performance prints and are willing to invest significantly more for that capability. Therefore, the choice between the two should be guided by individual printing needs, budget constraints, and the desired degree of complexity in printing tasks.
