Creality Ender 3 S1
Ender 3 S1
- “Sprite” Direct Drive Extruder – Newly developed by Creality themselves, the Sprite Direct Drive Extruder reaches up to 260°C and its interesting dual-gear design is perfect for printing PLA, ABS, PETG, and various flexible filaments like TPU. Feeding with up to 80N force, this extruder minimalizes the distance your filament must travel to the hotend. Loading new 3D filament becomes pain-free and the extruder’s extra control brings cleaner print results. The main standout difference between the Sprite and other Creality extruders is the heatsink, which integrates into the mounting plate, allowing the cooling fan to blow completely through the heatsink. Creality claims this change significantly reduces the chances of clogging, leaving you to enjoy 3D printing issue free.
- CR Touch Automatic Bed Leveling – Although the Ender 3 S1 still provides the classic manual levelling knobs on the print carriage, the installation of the CR touch means your struggle to find that perfect level is over. Automatic bed levelling is a popular upgrade that’s beginning to become a standard feature for modern 3D Printer models. With this in mind, Creality has improved their original BL Touch into the CR Touch with a metallic sensor pin and optical sensor technology. Your Ender 3 S1 will automatically level using 16 points on the bed surface and automatically compensate for any differing height points while printing.
- Flexible Magnetic PC Spring Steel Sheet – The Ender’s standard glass bed is now replaced on the Ender 3 S1 with a PC-coated spring steel bed which peels off the platform and flexes to pop prints easily off the bed. This sturdier and tougher print surface performs wonderfully for good bed adhesion. Flexible build plates bring a new level of convenience to your 3D Printing experience, eliminating any need to shovel your 3D Prints off the bed as it often feels like using a scraper.
- Dual Z-Axis Motors and Dual-leadscrews – Although the new Sprite Extruder is a lightweight design, Creality has gone a step further to include dual Z-axis screws and motors. This extra power and synchronized coordination mean your x-axis gantry, where the hotend sits, is guided smoothly as it moves up during your print. Because of the additional weight of a direct drive extruder with the print head, problems may arise if the X gantry is off-balanced or wobbles, creating poor quality 3D prints. However, with two Z-axis motors on the Ender 3 S1, the stability of the X-axis is ensured and makes for an overall safely reliable machine.
