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 Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K printer stands out for its 9.3-inch monochrome LCD, allowing for large prints with precise details. It has a print area of ??200 x 125 x 220 mm, which is larger than competitors with similar 4K screens, although with a slight difference in pixel size. Detailed resolution is achieved thanks to its 3840 x 2400 pixel screen. Additionally, its build tray can move with precision of up to 0.01 mm, ensuring high print quality. It has a solid frame with a cooling fan and a removable cover that contains the resin odor.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when comparing the Longer 3D LK4 and the Phrozen Sonic Might 4K, several factors come into play that cater to different types of users and their specific printing needs. The Longer 3D LK4, priced significantly lower, offers a versatile printing experience with a decent print volume and the ability to work with various filament types. Its features, like power loss recovery and a robust construction, make it a strong contender for hobbyists and those new to 3D printing. Its performance in terms of resolution and print quality is respectable, though it does not reach the level of higher-end printers. On the other hand, the Phrozen Sonic Might 4K commands a higher price but justifies it with an impressive level of detail and precision in print quality, largely attributed to its advanced LCD technology and finer resolution capabilities. However, its smaller print volume may limit larger projects and its lack of power recovery features could be a drawback for some. Ultimately, the choice between these two printers depends on the user's budget and specific needs. For those who prioritize versatility, ease of use, and a lower entry cost, the Longer 3D LK4 is a solid option. In contrast, for users focused on high-resolution prints and advanced technology, albeit at a higher cost, the Phrozen Sonic Might 4K is a noteworthy investment. Each printer has its strengths, and the best choice will depend on the individual’s printing goals and preferences.
