| 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 Creality K1 Max stands out as a fast Core XY 3D printer with a large build volume of 300 x 300 x 300 mm. It is fully enclosed and equipped with AI sensors to prevent print failures. This model has a smooth and flexible PEI build platform, and uses an automatic leveling system with LIDAR, as well as a filament run-out sensor. LAN, Creality Cloud and USB Flash Disk connectivity are available, as well as a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface. The K1 Max is robust, weighing in at 18 kg, and includes an AI camera and limited version of the Klipper firmware. Its motion system is solid and the printer is efficient with high-temperature filaments, but it is not silent. Assembly is 99% complete, requiring only minor adjustments before use. | The BambuLab A1 printer features fully automatic calibration, multi-color printing with the AMS system, active flow rate compensation, quick nozzle change with a clip, active motor noise cancellation, a build volume of 256x256x256 mm³, a maximum extruder temperature of 300°C, and a heated bed of up to 100°C.
