Extra features | The Anycubic Mega S offers a printing platform with excellent adhesion, easy removal after cooling. It has a filament sensor for a better experience with flexible materials and a multilingual and intuitive color touchscreen. Assembly is quick, requiring only 8 screws and 3 connections. It has a large build volume (210 x 210 x 205 mm), high positioning accuracy and supports a variety of materials, including TPU, PLA, ABS and wood. It stands out for its solid metal structure, superior stability, high-quality printing with layer resolution of up to 50 microns, Ultrabase for easy adhesion and removal of parts, resumption of printing after power outage, high-quality extruder for flexible filaments, suspended filament support and stable structure that reduces shaking, improving printing quality. | The Artillery Genius Pro is a standout 3D printer with a fast-heating AC tempered glass print bed and a sleek design with a black aluminum base and blue accents. It features a Titan-style direct extruder and a 32-bit Ruby mainboard. Despite its advanced feature set, it struggles to maintain print quality, requiring frequent adjustments and calibrations, and its glued glass bed makes cleaning and replacement difficult. |

Conclusion |
In comparing the Anycubic Mega S and the Artillery Genius Pro, we see two distinct 3D printers that cater to different user preferences and budgets. The Anycubic Mega S, with its more affordable price point, offers solid performance and reliability. It features a larger build volume, excellent adhesion with its Ultrabase, and a user-friendly setup process. Its versatile compatibility with various filaments and robust metal structure contribute to high-quality prints, making it particularly suitable for beginners or those looking for reliable performance at a lower cost. Conversely, the Artillery Genius Pro comes at a higher price and introduces some advanced features, such as a faster heating bed and a direct drive extruder. Yet, users may find it less user-friendly, as it requires more frequent adjustments to maintain print quality. While its build volume is slightly larger, the challenges in cleaning the glued glass bed and the need for more calibration may detract from the overall experience. Ultimately, the choice between these two printers hinges on individual needs. For budget-conscious users focused on reliability and a straightforward experience, the Anycubic Mega S stands out as a cost-effective choice. On the other hand, those willing to invest more and prioritize advanced features, despite some potential drawbacks in user experience, may lean towards the Artillery Genius Pro. Balancing the price against performance and features will be key to making the best decision for your 3D printing needs. |
