Creality Ender 5 S1 3D Printer Hands-On Review


"It's been 2 years, let's upgrade the Ender 5 Pro!" said Creality's R&D department. The new Ender 5 Pro upgraded Ender 5 S1 will be launched on November 3rd, Creality's official website has teased the news, and the slogan "Feel the sizzling speed" implies that this new machine is aimed at high-speed printing. As usual, we got our hands on the first batch of the new Ender 5 S1 and put it to the test before its release. To find out how it performs and if it's worth buying, join us in our review and let's see if it lives up to the expectations. 

Design:

The design of Ender 5 s1 is based on the Ender 5 pro and Ender 5 plus, adopting a classic cartesian system with a cube frame, it has the Ender 5 plus's integrated touch screen, but also the Pro version's Z-axis linear shaft on the back. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the design that puts the screen in the base of the printer, once the screen has problems, the repair will be more difficult, you need to remove the bottom to take out the screen. What I like is that the new Ender 5 S1 is more visually neat and tidy, all loose cables in the air are wrapped in nylon wire harness sleeves, and some designs I like: 2 profile grips placed behind the Z axis, 2 cantilevers placed below the printing bed for extra stability, and 2 handles installed on two sides to make it easier for customers to move the printer. But Creality seems to have sacrificed something for the stability of this printer, the print size of Ender 5 S1 is 220*220*280 because the actual printing distance of the Z-axis has been decreased.
