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 Longer LK4 is a versatile 3D printer capable of working with a wide range of filaments, such as PLA, ABS, TPU, copper, wood and carbon fiber, thanks to its 0.4mm nozzle and heated bed up to 110°C. With a printing accuracy of between 0.05-0.4mm, it stands out for its solid construction with an aluminum frame, weighing around 7kg, and a robust 24V and 15A power supply. The kit includes an Allen key, a 7/10 key, a microSD card with USB adapter, a spatula, cable ties, a power cable, 5m of filament and a spare filament end sensor. Assembly is simplified, with around 90% of the equipment pre-assembled, and detailed instructions assist in the process. Special features include print recovery after power failure, a filament end sensor, a super-adhesive printing surface and an intuitive color touchscreen display. The design features smooth profiles for easy assembly, and the position of the filament holder optimizes the filament path to the extruder. The LK4 is a solid choice for 3D printing enthusiasts looking for quality and versatility.	Creality’s Halot-One Plus printer stands out for its 4K+ resolution that delivers sharp details and consistent surfaces. It features a fast and responsive 5-inch LCD interface, as well as easy-to-use Halot Box software.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the comparison among the Ender 3, Longer LK4, and Halot One Plus highlights distinct strengths and weaknesses of each model, catering to different user needs and preferences in the 3D printing market. The **Ender 3** stands out as a cost-effective choice with a solid reputation for its excellent cost-benefit ratio, making it ideal for beginners and DIY enthusiasts. Its intuitive assembly, good print volume, and reliable performance make it a strong contender, particularly for those focused on budget and entry-level printing. However, it lacks advanced features such as power loss recovery, which could be a downside for users who prioritize uninterrupted printing. The **Longer LK4** impresses with its versatility, accommodating a wide range of filaments and featuring user-friendly enhancements like the power loss recovery and a touchscreen interface, making it a compelling choice for hobbyists seeking flexibility in their projects. Yet, it does not perform as well in terms of print quality and precision compared to the more advanced models. On the higher end, the **Halot One Plus** targets more serious users with its 4K+ resolution, robust build, and additional features like Wi-Fi connectivity and air filtration, which enhance the overall printing experience. Its superior performance and print quality cater well to the prosumer market, justifying its higher price tag for users seeking exceptional detail in their prints. However, its smaller print volume and higher cost may deter those looking for a more budget-friendly option. In summary, if affordability and reliability are of primary concern, the Ender 3 is the best buy. For those who value versatility and user-friendly features, the Longer LK4 presents a solid option. Conversely, if high-quality prints with advanced functionalities are essential, then the Halot One Plus emerges as the top choice despite its higher price point. Ultimately, the best 3D printer choice depends on individual user requirements and budget.
