I bought my second printer, about a month and a half ago, the Sovol SV05, because of your review. It cost me, the same exact price of my Anet A8Plus, that was bought two years before, and I came away with so many upgrades, 32 bit board, silent steppers, cube construct, autobed leveliing. I wanted all these features but every time I found them the price was out of reach for the budget that I had set. Your review of the product, is what sold it. THANK YOU!!!!

If you pay attention you can pick up the Sprite Pro extruder as an upgrade kit for about $90 on sale fairly often. Even off sale its about $110. I basically built this printer a while ago using a Sunlu S8 frame I picked up for extra cheap and a BTT board. Tossed a sheet of PEI on it and less than $350 for a better version of this printer.

Great review Aurora. I just upgraded my Ender 3 Pro with a Creality Dual Z Axis kit, a Creality Direct Drive print head and a BTT BLTouch (I upgraded the printer with an SKR E3 V2.0 with TFT display shortly after getting the printer). I looked at the Ender 3 S1 after seeing your review on it and saw it had the same build volume as my Ender 3 Pro, but then I saw there is an Ender 3 S1 Plus that can print to 300mm (11.8") in all 3 axes. I bought it from Creativity Labs on Amazon for around $550. The extra print volume will come in handy for me. I'm glad I will not need to add extras or updates to it.

Great videos! You are very thorough yet concise. I would like you to see you review the Ender 5 Plus. It has been out for quite a while now so it's not new but I think it is still special. With a Z axis bed and a lead screw at either end, the bed looks extra stable. I think it would very good for printing tall, thin objects - like the Big Ben or aircraft wings and fuselages. I would imagine it will have very little ghosting due to oscillation. It would be interesting to see how precise it is with the print head on the X-Y axis rather than the bed. I know you have done the Ender 5 Pro but the Plus seems to have been overlooked by most reviewers. Thank you for your consideration.

Excellent review as expected and delivered by you. I wish you would comment that a larger print volume almost mandated a Volcano Type Extruder (I only mention Volcano type here but so many other possibilities exist to transfer heat into the filament ) to make print times reasonable. You did discuss the con of the heat break but with TI heat break AND extended heating surface area in the nozzle, this larger print volume might make sense. However, all of your other cons are 'spot on'.

I'd love to see a video of calibration and troubleshooting of a new printer.. I've got a S1 pro and been having trouble with the paper method.. It needs to be super tight to get a good squish and not leave gaps between the lines on the first layer tests.. Set it up based on the "Just touching" and regularly have trouble with bed adhesion even with PLA.

A bit late to the table, but gere is my offering. Great video To the point, accurate and unbiased review. What you expect from a tech channel As the owner of 2 S1 and an Ender 3 Max (300x300x340) I can wholeheartedly agree that the increased build volume doesn't quite cover the increase in price. But the build in CR-Touch is awesome. But yes, an all metal heat break would be much better. Expecting the S1 Pro Plus just arround the corner... Prusa Slicer does have an S1 profile in there printer lineup that works awesomely. Question: Didn't printing at 255 C cause fumes? The PTFE Tube inside the sprite starts breaking down at above 240 C. So I am careful not to print ABS on my printers anymore. But PETG at 235 C is as high as I go, and my S1's give great results with both PETG and TPU. (CRON TPU prints at 215C!). So thank you for a great channel.

Thanks, I too would want the 300 degree hot end and would be willing to pay for it as an add-on, but I understand that even with that, the existing firmware for the Plus will only let you go up to 265. As of today, updated firmware that will go to 300 is not available. Also, and I don't know how important this is, but the S1 Pro's bed will go up to 110 whereas the S1 Plus will only go to 100.

Hello Aurora, please help, I have an Ender 3 S1 pro printer. I changed the nozzle and when I try to level the bed, it lowers the extruder and the nozzle sticks against the bed and makes a very ugly noise, the cr touch works, I put a book on the bed and it did those 2 steps well. I raise the z axis. But when I tell him to level again he crashes into the bed. And raising the z-axis while it's making noise from being in contact with the bed makes me afraid to wait so long for the z-axis adjustment window to activate. I don't know if the limit switch needs to be adjusted. Thanks in advance 🤗

It just depends on what type of materials you are printing. For printing PLA, it's better to turn on 100% cooling after the first few layers. But when printing PETG, ABS, Nylon, or other higher temperature materials, it's better to turn off cooling or turn it down to 40% or lower to improve print quality, layer adhesion, and reduce the change of warping.

Regarding the issue of the nozzle remaining in contact with the PEI surface while preheating (beginning at 14:00 in the video): I am experiencing a potentially related problem: auto-leveling always mashes the nozzle into the build plate, tries to ram through it (pushing the plate down), then moves laterally as the nozzle gouges the PEI surface (in spite of very careful assisted leveling preceding that). I would greatly appreciate insight into what causes this problem and how to resolve it. I contacted Creality almost a week ago and still haven’t received any help from them. Unable to complete auto-leveling normally, I haven’t yet printed with this printer but I have successfully printed thousands of things with three other printers, all with auto-leveling that works exactly as it should.

How come no one is talking about the Type-C USB connection? Is it for future updates?
Great attention to details in this video review. Love these reviews! The energy usage of the heat bed is just one example.
The gantry being attached to the side instead of the bottom adds so much more strength! The other upgrades are so worth the money.
thanks for taking the time to share your review of this printer. Have a great day!
If you pay attention you can pick up the Sprite Pro extruder as an upgrade kit for about $90 on sale fairly often. Even off sale its about $110. I basically built this printer a while ago using a Sunlu S8 frame I picked up for extra cheap and a BTT board. Tossed a sheet of PEI on it and less than $350 for a better version of this printer.

Aurora - you are awesome! Thank you for the video.
Nice review! My guess is that they will soon release an Ender 3 S1 Plus Pro with the higher temperature heat break, maybe for an extra $50 or so. If they want to go higher to a higher price point than that, they'll need to think up some more features to add.

Great review Aurora. I just upgraded my Ender 3 Pro with a Creality Dual Z Axis kit, a Creality Direct Drive print head and a BTT BLTouch (I upgraded the printer with an SKR E3 V2.0 with TFT display shortly after getting the printer). I looked at the Ender 3 S1 after seeing your review on it and saw it had the same build volume as my Ender 3 Pro, but then I saw there is an Ender 3 S1 Plus that can print to 300mm (11.8") in all 3 axes. I bought it from Creativity Labs on Amazon for around $550. The extra print volume will come in handy for me. I'm glad I will not need to add extras or updates to it.
interesting for those who print large vases or busts
Love the Queen Elizabeth II Clock Tower print!
Excellent review, print quality looks great
Great video as always 👍 Good points with the All metal gear Real. Thanks for sharing your expirences with All of us 👍😃
What an excellent review. So organized and straight to the point. Thank you
Mine just showed up today and I noticed the Creality slicer has a profile for this printer and the other s1's. Btw ive really been enjoying your videos, you make printing look so easy lol
That's a very detailed and insightful review. Thanks!
Great videos! You are very thorough yet concise. I would like you to see you review the Ender 5 Plus. It has been out for quite a while now so it's not new but I think it is still special. With a Z axis bed and a lead screw at either end, the bed looks extra stable. I think it would very good for printing tall, thin objects - like the Big Ben or aircraft wings and fuselages. I would imagine it will have very little ghosting due to oscillation. It would be interesting to see how precise it is with the print head on the X-Y axis rather than the bed. I know you have done the Ender 5 Pro but the Plus seems to have been overlooked by most reviewers. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, my 3D print supplier has an Ender 6 and he had to reinforce the front of his buildplate to ensure propper leveling during a print. It saggs a bit, not much but some. A front leadscrew would have been a great addition...

Excellent review as expected and delivered by you. I wish you would comment that a larger print volume almost mandated a Volcano Type Extruder (I only mention Volcano type here but so many other possibilities exist to transfer heat into the filament ) to make print times reasonable. You did discuss the con of the heat break but with TI heat break AND extended heating surface area in the nozzle, this larger print volume might make sense. However, all of your other cons are 'spot on'.
I'd love to see a video of calibration and troubleshooting of a new printer.. I've got a S1 pro and been having trouble with the paper method.. It needs to be super tight to get a good squish and not leave gaps between the lines on the first layer tests.. Set it up based on the "Just touching" and regularly have trouble with bed adhesion even with PLA.

A bit late to the table, but gere is my offering. Great video To the point, accurate and unbiased review. What you expect from a tech channel As the owner of 2 S1 and an Ender 3 Max (300x300x340) I can wholeheartedly agree that the increased build volume doesn't quite cover the increase in price. But the build in CR-Touch is awesome. But yes, an all metal heat break would be much better. Expecting the S1 Pro Plus just arround the corner... Prusa Slicer does have an S1 profile in there printer lineup that works awesomely. Question: Didn't printing at 255 C cause fumes? The PTFE Tube inside the sprite starts breaking down at above 240 C. So I am careful not to print ABS on my printers anymore. But PETG at 235 C is as high as I go, and my S1's give great results with both PETG and TPU. (CRON TPU prints at 215C!). So thank you for a great channel.

Nice Review! Thanks for the video Aurora and Helios! Would you guys be able to cover the WhamBam Mutant v2 at some point? I know you guys primarily cover FDM, but also other similar tech like laser engraving. Seems like something all Ender 3 variants could benefit from in terms of quick swapping tool heads. Thanks!
Thanks, I too would want the 300 degree hot end and would be willing to pay for it as an add-on, but I understand that even with that, the existing firmware for the Plus will only let you go up to 265. As of today, updated firmware that will go to 300 is not available. Also, and I don't know how important this is, but the S1 Pro's bed will go up to 110 whereas the S1 Plus will only go to 100.

Thanks Aurora for your excellent review, i would like to know if i upgrade the nozzle of this particular 3d printer is it possible to use Carbon Fiber filaments without issues?
Hello Aurora, please help, I have an Ender 3 S1 pro printer. I changed the nozzle and when I try to level the bed, it lowers the extruder and the nozzle sticks against the bed and makes a very ugly noise, the cr touch works, I put a book on the bed and it did those 2 steps well. I raise the z axis. But when I tell him to level again he crashes into the bed. And raising the z-axis while it's making noise from being in contact with the bed makes me afraid to wait so long for the z-axis adjustment window to activate. I don't know if the limit switch needs to be adjusted. Thanks in advance 🤗
Hi, do you have any links to buy the magnetic plate for this printer ? I didnt find a single one on internet
What!! Did you just make my day? You can increase the z-height to 320mm with an "M211 S0" slicer start-code? Does it stop automatically at 320mm if I set the Z-Height in the slicer to 320mm or is manual intervention required? I measured the max height with a ruler. The glass bed up to the nozzle with the z-axis maxed out to the top and measuring just shy of 310mm? Please let us know how. Thanks.
We just bought an Ender 3 S1 Plus, it has a faulty SD card slot. The UK vendor and Creality are dragging their heals with replacement. Absolutely terrible support. So we haven't managed to print a thing and nobody is willing to replace it or supply a new main board.

@AuroraTech
2 жыл бұрын
It just depends on what type of materials you are printing. For printing PLA, it's better to turn on 100% cooling after the first few layers. But when printing PETG, ABS, Nylon, or other higher temperature materials, it's better to turn off cooling or turn it down to 40% or lower to improve print quality, layer adhesion, and reduce the change of warping.

Regarding the issue of the nozzle remaining in contact with the PEI surface while preheating (beginning at 14:00 in the video): I am experiencing a potentially related problem: auto-leveling always mashes the nozzle into the build plate, tries to ram through it (pushing the plate down), then moves laterally as the nozzle gouges the PEI surface (in spite of very careful assisted leveling preceding that). I would greatly appreciate insight into what causes this problem and how to resolve it. I contacted Creality almost a week ago and still haven’t received any help from them. Unable to complete auto-leveling normally, I haven’t yet printed with this printer but I have successfully printed thousands of things with three other printers, all with auto-leveling that works exactly as it should.

I have an Ender 3 S1 Plus. It is not my first printer. I have had a CR-10s for a few years. The Ender is new and I have had it about a week or so. I can't seem to get the bed to be consistently level. I can set my bed level using manual and auto level and run a print and, after my print, check my level on the manual mode and it will be too tight even though it was set right prior to making one print. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for another fantastic review. If #Creality is listening, these two geniuses at Aurora Tech are the ones who compelled me to order my S1 Plus :) Oh by the way, did you have to cut notches in that smooth PEI sheet you used? Or did you just attach it resting slightly offset from the screws in the back of the bed?
