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. The Anycubic Photon DLP is a resin 3D printer that stands out for its affordability and quality. It uses DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology to cure resin layers with precision, offering resolution of 25-100 microns. Its build volume is 115 x 65 x 155 mm, suitable for modest-sized projects. It includes a 2.8-inch touchscreen, USB and SD card connectivity, and a carbon filter to mitigate odors. It is notable for generating efficient support structures through its custom slicing software. Although it requires care in resin handling and post-processing, it is an excellent option for beginners and professionals who want to explore resin 3D printing with high resolution and ease of use.
