Extra features	The Ender 5 Plus offers a large print volume (350x350x400 mm) and fast assembly. It includes a BLTouch sensor, but with range limitations. It stands out for its dimensional accuracy, although it requires adjustments to the slicer settings. Despite the noise, its integrated design saves space, and includes features such as a filament sensor and power resumption. Ideal for large projects, it requires refinement in the settings for high-quality prints.	The Halot Mage stands out with its easy-to-operate, space-saving “MageArch” hinged lid that filters 99.89% of UV light. It includes an integrated air purifier with a large, efficient activated carbon filter that is ideal for absorbing resin odors. Its ultra-stable Z-axis with dual linear rails ensures larger, more accurate prints with minimal wobble. Plus, it features a robust tempered glass LCD protector for durability and protection against impacts and resin spills.	Creality's CR-10 Smart Pro printer offers a large 300x300x400mm build volume, Sprite Pro direct extruder for multiple materials, CR Touch auto-leveling, PEI magnetic bed, 4.3" touchscreen, LED lighting, and Creality Cloud connectivity. Some areas of improvement include the use of brass spindle nuts and tinned wires.

Conclusion

In comparing the three 3D printers—Ender 5 Plus, Halot Mage, and CR-10 Smart Pro—each model showcases distinct features and capabilities tailored to varying needs and budgets. The **Ender 5 Plus** stands out with its substantial print volume, making it ideal for large projects. It features robust performance with dimensional accuracy, although it requires some refinement in slicer settings for optimal quality. However, its higher price point and moderate noise levels may deter some users, placing it at a cost-benefit score of 6/10. The **Halot Mage** is the newest entry and offers a compelling balance of affordability and advanced features. Its space-saving design and efficient UV filtering make it particularly suitable for users concerned about workspace tidiness and safety. Coupled with excellent stability and minimal wobble during printing, it achieves an impressive performance score of 9/10 and a cost-benefit score of 8/10, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing both value and functionality. The **CR-10 Smart Pro**, while featuring a large print volume and convenient connectivity options, does not quite match the overall performance and efficiency of the Halot Mage. Its features, such as CR Touch auto-leveling and a direct extruder, enhance usability but come at a higher price, resulting in underwhelming cost-effectiveness and performance scores. In summary, if budget and print volume are your top considerations, the **Ender 5 Plus** is a solid choice despite requiring some adjustments, while the **Halot Mage** presents the best overall value and advanced features for those seeking a reliable and compact model. On the other hand, the **CR-10 Smart Pro**, despite its potential, does not provide the same value-for-money proposition and may be better suited for more specific applications where its higher cost can be justified. Ultimately, your choice should reflect your specific needs, budget constraints, and the type of projects you aim to undertake.
