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 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. | Creality's Ender 3 S1 PRO is an innovation in the Ender 3 series, featuring a Sprite Pro Extruder capable of reaching 300°C and dual lead screws on the Z axis, ensuring greater stability and print quality. Its PEI-coated print bed, combined with CR-Touch automatic leveling, provides excellent adhesion and ease of part removal. The user interface, via a 4.3-inch touchscreen, offers intuitive and efficient control, although it has some limitations regarding the handling of long file names and navigation. The well-designed extruder ensures effective cooling and handling of various filaments, although there may be a slight ghosting effect at high speeds due to its weight. This printer represents a balance between technological advances and operational challenges, remaining faithful to the quality expected of the Ender line. |
