Extra features The AnkerMake M5 printer stands out for its impressive print speed, reaching up to 500mm/s. It features AI print monitoring, an integrated camera for creating timelapses, auto-leveling bed with pressure sensor, direct extruder, flexible PEI-coated build plate, and Wi-Fi and USB-C connectivity. Assembly is quick and easy, and the printer is designed to deliver high print quality and ease of use. Creality's Ender 3 S1 PRO is an innovation in the Ender 3 series, featuring a Sprite Pro Extruder capable of reaching 300°C and dual lead screws on the Z axis, ensuring greater stability and print quality. Its PEI-coated print bed, combined with CR-Touch automatic leveling, provides excellent adhesion and ease of part removal. The user interface, via a 4.3-inch touchscreen, offers intuitive and efficient control, although it has some limitations regarding the handling of long file names and navigation. The well-designed extruder ensures effective cooling and handling of various filaments, although there may be a slight ghosting effect at high speeds due to its weight. This printer represents a balance between technological advances and operational challenges, remaining faithful to the quality expected of the Ender line.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the AnkerMake M5 and Creality Ender 3 S1 PRO are solid choices for 3D printing enthusiasts, each with distinct advantages. The AnkerMake M5 excels in print speed and features, boasting a maximum output speed of 500 mm/s, which allows for rapid production without compromising on quality. Its user-friendly features, such as AI print monitoring and a flexible PEI-coated build plate, enhance the overall experience, making it well-suited for users seeking efficiency and ease of use.

On the other hand, the Ender 3 S1 PRO, while slightly slower, offers impressive thermal capabilities with a maximum nozzle temperature of 300°C and a robust design that ensures stability during printing. Its improved extruder design and automatic leveling contribute to high-quality prints, albeit with some limitations in handling more complex navigation tasks.

Considering the prices are relatively similar, the AnkerMake M5 offers a better cost-benefit ratio and performance speed, while the Ender 3 S1 PRO may appeal to those loyal to the Creality brand and prioritizing a reliable and stable printing platform. Ultimately, the decision between the two will depend on individual preferences, specific project requirements, and which features align best with one’s printing needs.
