Extra features	The UltiMaker S7 printer features a series of technological innovations to enhance 3D printing. It incorporates a flexible, magnetic build plate with PEI coating, promoting better adhesion and easier part removal. Its new inductive sensor significantly improves bed leveling, ensuring perpendicular and accurate prints. In addition, the S7 has a higher quality camera for remote monitoring, an integrated air filter, and uses a unique glass door to maintain a constant temperature in the print chamber. The machine is also compatible with the expansion kit for metal printing.	The Creality CR10 SE stands out for its printing speed of up to 600 mm/s, easy and intuitive assembly, direct extruder with double gears, hotend with hardened steel nozzle and ceramic heater, automatic leveling with CR-Touch and pressure sensor, and use of Creality OS firmware based on Klipper, with automatic input shaping calibration. It also includes Wi-Fi connectivity, a filament out-of-stock sensor and a robust structure with linear rails on the X and Y axes.

Conclusion

In concluding the comparison between the Ultimaker S7 and the Creality CR10 SE, both printers cater to distinct user needs and budgets. The Ultimaker S7 is positioned as a high-end 3D printer, boasting advanced features such as automatic bed leveling, enclosed print space, and a power loss recovery system. Its larger print volume, superior build quality, and higher maximum temperatures also contribute to its capability for more complex and varied print jobs. However, this premium comes at a significantly higher price point, reflected in its cost-benefit assessment, which rates poorly. On the other hand, the Creality CR10 SE offers outstanding value, with a much lower price and impressive specifications, including a high maximum printing speed and direct drive extruder. It provides a good blend of performance and essential features, such as automatic leveling and filament sensors, making it suitable for both beginners and semi-advanced users. Its user-friendly assembly and robust structure further enhance its appeal. Ultimately, the choice between these two printers hinges on the user's priorities: the Ultimaker S7 is better suited for professional applications requiring high precision and reliability, while the Creality CR10 SE offers a budget-friendly option with excellent performance for general 3D printing tasks. The cost-to-benefit ratio of the CR10 SE positions it as a compelling choice for those looking to balance quality and expense.
