Extra features The Ender 3 V1 is a DIY assembly 3D printer, a sales leader since 2017, standing out for its cost-benefit. With a wide printing capacity, it has a CNC machined structure for precision and stability. It offers high-precision prints with low noise, thanks to its innovative V-profile and pulleys. It has a self-adhesive magnetic platform for easy removal of models and excellent adhesion. The Ender 3 heats up quickly, reaching 100°C in 5 minutes, ideal for agile prints. It includes protection against power failures, allowing you to resume printing after interruptions, saving time and material. The Ender 3 Pro stands out for its beginner-friendly assembly and easily modifiable structure. With a 350W power supply, it heats up quickly and has a simple application that offers good print quality. However, its motors and fans are noisy, and the interface seems outdated. Assembly is accessible, without the need for advanced techniques, and it has integrated belt tensioners. It includes a detailed guide and supports microSD card and USB. The Bambu Lab A1 Mini stands out not only for its impressive speed and automatic calibration, but also for its multi-color printing capability thanks to AMS Lite. This innovative system makes multi-color printing easy, making it accessible to everyone. AMS Lite, specific to the A1 Mini, supports up to four different materials simultaneously, providing creative freedom without complications. With comprehensive sensors for energy monitoring and recovery, a camera for timelapses and Wi-Fi control, the A1 Mini and AMS Lite together offer an intuitive and advanced 3D printing experience, ideal for materials such as PLA, PETG and TPU, and designed for simplicity and fast maintenance with quick-change nozzles.
