Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro VS Prusa MK3S+, In-Depth Comparison

[@RVDB-nz9gu]

If you can make such high quality videos at your age, I wonder what the future will bring. Absolutely amazing!

[@CatSlinky]

Probably one of the best comparison videos I’ve seen on KZbin in over 12 years of consuming content. Well done you two. Thanks for the density of information and lack of sensationalism. Subbed.

[@BenjaminFriedrich-BF]

Totally agree! New Benchmark!

[@UncleF115]

i too like the lack of sensationalism. she talks like a non-emotional truth teller, fact reader.

[@BeardedPete]

Finally a channel that acually does the vidoes we all want to see, great!

[@MageLeaderInc]

One huge point that was missed here is print volume which clearly goes to the ender.

[@creepinonthebabes]

ender also has an optional laser module

[@GreyBeard3D]

You should consider turning on the 7x7 autoleveling on the Prusa in the settings menu. It’s even more accurate and still fast.

[@jrep]

Actually excellent comparison and reviews. Rivaling established 3d-printing creators like Salanderer and 3dpnerd. Exceptional work!

[@Savage1776_]

Yeah but a $500 printer compared to an $1,100 printer is a little bit not fair. Plus I don't see how somebody could give more points for 3D printing Parts over injected molded parts. That's just insanity

[@davidb2416]

@@Savage1776_ Ease of replacement. Very easy to print a replacement for a lot of people if a part gets damaged, injection molded you would have to source somehow. Assuming they both have the same functionality.

[@djSpinege]

@@Savage1776_ i literally searched "ender 3 vs prusa" so yeah, it was a good comparison. for a few hundred more you can save yourself a lot of headaches and get better prints.

[@djSpinege]

alos, they gave the ender more points for aesthetics but i don't care if it had 3d printed parts. it's kinda cool IMO

[@mcavity]

The only thing I would add about the prusia kit is that putting it together is really educational in figuring out how these things work. [and its very well documented]

[@jg-wb3vm]

Putting my MK3S together was a lot of fun and educational. If you're a parent looking for a project to do with your child, the Prusa kits are amazing.

[@jg-wb3vm]

I originally bout and ender type printer from Amazon about 5 years ago. After a couple misprints, a clogged nozzle and the headache of having to level the bed with springs, I returned it and got a Prusa MK3S kit. Assembling the printer wasn't difficult and was a really fun project in itself. The printer is amazing. Hassle free printing at it's best, just hit start. Prusa is a prime example that you get what you pay for.

[@timm7524]

Fair comparison. Other consideration today is option to upgrade the S1 Pro with the Sonic Pad. Likely a shift in terms of usability and speed. You get Klipper firmware, a host of other great added features, and by all accounts run 2-3 times faster without loss of quality for an upgrade price (~$150) that still keeps the S1 Pro way less than the Prusa.

[@timm7524]

(And saw your other video about the Sonic Pad, too. It's why I mention it for others here. 😊 I think I'm leaning toward S1 Pro plus Sonic Pad now!)

[@rickyricardo3551]

considering how she got the same score for the same item but in kit vs. completed even with the sonic pad I bet she would have scored it the same.

[@egronski5000]

That 3 out of 5 for the Doc/Support was very generous, Creality has a long way to go still. Another solid video, looking forward to the next one.

[@logicgates7732]

I could see points swinging in either direction on a few of those categories. Personally I see these printers being much closer in value than than the point system outcome.

[@squaz1178]

Just checked to see if the situation was the same but it looks like they have taken the advise on-board and re-vamped the doc/sup section.

[@shrimperlincs3395]

Why would you pay 60% more for product support? Surly at 60% for a Prusa you'd expect to not need any support services?

[@AFistfulOf4K]

@@shrimperlincs3395 For my Ender 3 I spent several days trying to find compatible firmware for my oddball motherboard to get Marlin linear advance support, before finally switching to Klipper firmware on a Raspberry Pi (extra $100 or so) to gain that functionality. If you value your time, it may be worth buying a better product upfront.

[@Smedleydog1]

Also another factor to consider is the Ender 3 S1 has a build volume of 230 x 230 x 270 while the Prusa build volume is 210 x 210 x 250.

[@theluc1f3r93]

Nope, Prusa has from first public version 25 wide, 21 long and 23cm height.

[@Onio_Saiyan]

Probably doesn't matter much for small prints, but if one prints bigger stuff all the time or tons of small things at once, the little bit of extra room is probably highly useful more than one realizes.

[@timm7524]

This is worth pointing out. At the same time, smaller footprint might be preferred for some. (Though if I were investing in a first printer, I'd rather err on the side of too large and make room.)

[@miket.1933]

Hm but on your pictures the "X" on the cube looks much worse on the Prusa (the interior of the X I mean)

[@TheReaper1]

This was an extremely well thought out, and executed video! You clearly have a lot of experience and knowledge regarding every aspect of 3d printers and I’m here for it! I’m looking to get my very first 3d printer, and after going down the rabbit hole of options, I’ve landed on your video that I believe has swayed me to the S1 Pro. This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel but I promise it won’t be the last. Thank you very much for taking your time putting this together!

[@andykaw1]

Your test and analysis is correct and well made, thanks from an Ender 3 S1 pro owner.

[@dubwars]

Thank you for this video. I was holding off on the MK3S+ until Black Friday 2022 but then saw the S1 Pro which caught my eye. After watching this, I think I'll continue to wait until November.

[@markgebert2541]

I have the Prusa MK3S+ kit version and it's been performing flawlessly for over a year. I got the Prusa mainly because the company I worked for had 8 of them which were used to make precision medical device parts. I saw these printers running everyday in an industrial setting and they were clearly durable. Another thing to mention is that if you order the week after Black Friday Prusa usually has free shipping.

[@conraddiaz2274]

Wow wow wow!!! This comparison video blows me away!! In design engineering we sometimes resort to using a weighted concept selection matrix (or weighted comparison matrix) to provide a form of quantitative insight when trying to compare among various design/concept options. This is exactly what you have done and done extremely well! I completely agree with your selected criteria, the weight you assigned to each criteria, the scoring you assigned AND the justifications for assigning such scores! Excellent and thank you!

[@sdhiousdfyhsdioufsdoiufh]

No, she didn't. She made a cardinal mistake. Prusa self-assembled version is more than 2x the price of ender s1 pro. Meanwhile she scored 15 vs 10. This ruins the whole comparison. You can get 2 ender s1 pro for the price of 1 prusa.

[@wodenuk6700]

One of the best comparison videos I've ever seen!

[@StevenDavisPhoto]

extremely thorough and knowledgeable review! i've never been to your channel, so was surprised to see someone so young doing the video. you are obviously very intelligent and skilled. nice work!

[@5150Arcticwolf]

The Prusa MK3S was my introduction to 3D printing. I was going to go with Creality, but a few of my friends mentioned that with upgrades they would run the same price. I could not be happier. The 8hr build helped with understanding how the printer worked and troubleshooting when things broke. Now I'm just waiting fir the XL to come out and upgrade to that.

[@DKFX1]

Even with upgrades creality s1 pro still cost about half of Prusa. But Prusa uses higher quality hardware.

[@erv5890]

Not really. You can get Prusa quality with a fully upgraded Ender 3 and still much less than the Prusa.

[@eugenelabuschagne5703]

Thank you. This must be one of the best comparison videos I have seen. It was tremendously helpful. Well done.😊

[@airingcupboard]

Great example of how to compare products for my design students. Thorough examples and prioritisation and granularity of the scoring system.

[@kristenwilson4299]

This is a great video! Thank you for your thorough work. I have the Prusa fully assembled and it's awesome! I have not worked with the Ender but I enjoyed learning about it in your video. I look forward to learning more from you!

[@bbnlabs]

Great to see you cevered every single detail!!

[@mic03311]

What about the print volume and possibly of upgrades? I think your rating match what I would give for both printers. The prusia also comes with additional features such as auto test systems. I think it is still the state of the art for hobbyist. Keep up the great work 😃

[@Aagggyy]

The problem I have is having to wait nearly two to three weeks possibly to even get one.

[@slowasmolassess]

@@Aagggyy That's all you waited? My MK3S+ took 5 weeks, but considering they test everything before shipping I considered it a win. Prusa is getting bigger, but they take the time of a small mom and pop.

[@pagratios]

Amazing comparison between those 2 printers, with a well structured scroring system. I think is a dilemma of a lot of us to choose our next printer Although price and assembly is an upfront cost/work you need to do and all the others will be our daily routine, if you remove them out of 100 the score will 66.25 for Ender and 85 for Prusa that make the difference even bigger

[@thebrenskie]

As a hobbyist, you are looking for value for money... The 8.5 point difference won't be enough to convince me to pay double the price for the prusa. Good comparison and well done keep it up!

[@MageLeaderInc]

Not to mention if build volume was on the rating list that gap would be much smaller

[@GregBeatty]

Having both printers, I'd say that the scoring was definitely generous with the Ender. Yes it works well initially, but after using it for a while, it's starting to show the usual wear and tear that makes you spend more and more time fussing with it keep the print quality high

[@thebrenskie]

@@GregBeatty do you thing a high quality linear rail kit will fix this?

[@GregBeatty]

@@thebrenskie (good) Linear rails go a long way to removing wear/tear/adjustment headaches on the ender. The problem is that good linear rails are very expensive. The cheap rails on amazon vary anywhere from acceptable to garbage, but you really have no idea what you're getting until they show up at your door. I converted my old ender 3 pro with amazon (generic) linear rails. A coworker also has an ender 3 that he converted over to linear **rods**. Both conversions are better than the stock roller wheels, but I'm starting to have some problems with some of my rails after about 3 months (I print for hobby only, not 24/7). Two of my rails are getting noisy, and one of them has quite a bit of lateral movement (which rails shouldn't have at all). My coworker prints quite a bit more than me and his rod conversion is basically maintenance free other than putting a little bit of silicon grease on the rods every month or two.

[@thebrenskie]

@@GregBeatty I understand completely. I’m based in South Africa and try finding a good pair of rails here.. I have done full rail conversion of a old TRONXY X5S and 1000 times more reliable. I do think creality should have just done the rails from the start… or at least offer a reliable rail upgrade kit to try and be as reliable as a PRUSA.

[@danbogart]

How about adding a Sonic Pad and Klipper to the S1 Pro? Even adding the $160 pad, you’re still more than $400 cheaper than the assembled Prusa.

[@AuroraTech]

Yes, Prusa is too expensive after they increased the price this year. I have another video tested the sonic pad with ender-3 s1, ender-3 and v2.

[@ScytheNoire]

Great comparison. The only thing that kills me about the Prusa is the screen controls. It really is way past time to upgrade to a color touchscreen.

[@garythecyclingnerd6219]

How does the touch screen interface with the MK3+? Are you able to adjust the printer settings?

[@Rattletrap-xs8il]

@@garythecyclingnerd6219 The touch screen is really cool, you can adjust positioning, speed, bed temp, nozzle temp. You can re-run programs that you uploaded to the octopi. You can watch the progress on your PC while it's printing (with a camera). You can record timelapses of the build. There are a bunch of plugins for other stuff too. If I got any other printers I'd put one of these on every one.

[@riceklown]

This fits the reality that you will spend 95% of your time getting that last 5%. In this case, the S1 Pro is good... but spend at least 50% more to get that last bit of "great". I have the S1 standard for work and thinking about buying a personal machine. The Prusa seems awesome but that's a massive price increase.

[@RockyTop_BC]

I hear you. I have kept 14 printers running 24/7 for two years now. I had to completely reconfigure the Creality machines for them to work dependably. (Creality is getting better) I kinda felt cheated when I realized that the Prusa works better and is more dependable than my redesigned Creality printers out of the box. On the plus side I learned quite a bit of valuable information with the Creality printers.

[@haysoos123]

Honestly, since the S1 and S1 Pro have stepped up the "set it up and forget it" game for Enders, I would say also that the print quality difference would be negligible with the MKS3+. The only difference she pointed out in this review (the bulging corners) is the lack of linear advance (or pressure advance in Klipper) setup for the Ender, which you can easily do yourself and then not have to worry about again. Is that worth a few hundred dollars for you? Maybe, maybe not.

[@GregBeatty]

Even with linear advance enabled and calibrated on my ender, it's still not as good as my MK3

[@haysoos123]

@@GregBeatty I mean, that's a fault of Marlin or your calibration. There's no other real special sauce other than their profiles and a bog-standard V6/extruder.

[@MoeReefs]

You can take a base ender 3, not even a pro and mod the shit out of it for less than $450. I was seriously thinking about the S1 but the sprite extruder wont cut it for me. My enders in my small farm all have bigtree tech boards with 2209 steppers, bltouch, v6 volcano hotends with bmg dual drive direct extruders, 5015 blowers, linear rails on the x axis, g10 fr4 build surfaces, and dual z lead screws. I can have one set up in 3-4 hours if that. Prusa who?

Excellent review, factual and down to earth. I've subscribed

[@MikeC19100]

That was a very good overview of these two printers and the scoring seemed reasonable and very fair for the testing. Even though the Prusa came out on top in many areas, I still like the added features on the Ender 3 S1 Pro, like the light bar and the fact that the replacement parts are much easier on the wallet between the two.

[@austinhoward7413]

Yo just sayin great job on the assembly video it really helped me out. When I bought this "kit" I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into it took me about 20 hours in total to put this machine together I got perpendicular though, again thanks for the video!

[@janred94]

Prusas Kit Assembly should get 1 point max, there can't be more work involved in building a printer besides building one based on your own idea and salvaging each part separately 🙈 10h assembly... that's more like a puzzle for nerds than a printer 😅

[@LilApe]

The prusa doesn't have belt tension knobs, because it simply doesn't need them. Prusa uses high quality gates kevlar belts that wont stretch overtime like he cheap belts on the ender.

[@jesuschavez5660]

I love your direct to the point videos. You don't waste time re-hashing low value details and get right to the nitty gritty. I was very excited to get a Prusa Mini+ last year. I even ordered it at the beginning of November instead of waiting for black friday since the delivery was stated as beginning of December. I thought I could tinker with it during Christmas break. Well, Prusa failed me and kept pushing out the shipping date so I cancelled and looked for another option. I purchased a Kingroon KP3S and so far love it. It cost less than half of the Prusa and comes with linear rails and direct drive. I haven't pushed it with TPU, PETG and ABS which is why I wanted the Prusa, but so far it has worked great. Is the Kingroon kind of a black horse? I love my Ender 3 but recognize its limitations. From what I had read, the Prusa was the logical upgrade path. I didn't come across the Kingroon until I was looking for an alternative.

[@jesuschavez5660]

Correction: dark horse, LOL

[@gitss7367]

I am hoping Creality puts out an Ender 5 S1 Pro at some point. With auto bed level, all metal hotend, direct drive, and heavier cables better managed. I do wonder if they will keep that line at the Ender 5 Plus and move to improve the Ender 6 line instead.

[@jjsemperfi]

Also with dual z. That would be an awesome printer.

[@greggutierrez7760]

Another great review. This is what I would call a high quality engineering evaluation. Keep up the great work. Another consideration is repair/replacement parts. I have an S1 but it has been down for 2 months due a failed print that encased the heater block in solid plastic. It was good while it lasted (1 spool) but I can't get a replacement extruder. Don't trust the auto bed leveler... check it manually when you set it up. I ordered one a month ago but the order was cancelled after 3 weeks with no explanation... or refund yet. The extruder comes and goes on the web site as a spare part. It seems as though they're having trouble with inventory. Be aware that the S1 is new so parts will be VERY hard to get... or non-existent. Also, the heater cartridge doesn't appear to be the same as the standard Ender 3 so who knows when "sub-components" will be available. For now, the only option I can find (which is inaccessible) is an entire extruder assembly at over $100.00. Yikes! I bought an LK5 Pro to replace it while I wait and.....now I'm in no hurry to get the S1 fixed. The LK5 Pro is a fantastic printer at a bargain (IMO). Aurora did a review on it too recently.

[@petercallison5765]

I had the same filament issue on a Vyper. I had to melt the filament off with a heat gun and print a new cover (which melted). I might add that I am in Australia and Creality never sends the parts they promise.

After a LOT of troubleshooting, getting terible support from Creality, and watching a LOT of video like this one, I just sent it back and bought the MK3S+. Putting it together is cool and I like knowing how everything works anyway. The Ender was pretty good when it was working for the record. But I found myself cranking up the quality as I got better at the models and wanted higher quality tools and usful gadgets. So, it just makes sense to have a better printer.

[@yancymuu4977]

Good use of the term watt hour. For anyone interested, a physicist would use the term joule for a unit of energy, and would express the flow of energy or work as joules per second. So what is a watt? Well electrical engineers came along and decided that an energy flow of one joule per second is equal to one watt. Then, in kind of a convoluted fashion, defined a new unit of energy watt hour as how much energy would flow in one hour at a rate of one watt. Thus a watt hour is simply 3600 joule. Great video --- thank you.

I’ve only been “around the community” for 2 years. Given that, Ive seen an insane amount of content and people dedicated to the Prusa and often I’ve seen why. The quality that the Prusa puts out is undeniably outstanding. That said, for the price, for the “standard bedslinger”, I don’t think I’ll ever own one. The printer I’m building right now is a direct result of your review, Sovol SV05. I got it, because it’s “Creality Roots” and I got an amazing price. Given the competition in this area and the pricing, I’m surprised people still pay Prusa’s prices. When I shell out, close to / over a thousand, it’s core xy time and most likely Voron. I would think, at some point, Prusa would have to step up their game, screen wise, etc….etc…etc…. Yet? People are still buying them by the truckload so? I can’t question it. Yet, I do.

[@davepaturno4290]

The reason why I would buy one is primarily because of their consistently good part printing. Too many other printers, including some $2000 ones have issues.

My problem with the Prusa is the small size. They need a CR10 size model.

[@BeardedPete]

yeah thats the Prusa XL, coming in the end of the year. Next level quality and features ,.. and price.

I assembled my MK3S+ a few weeks ago. I'm continually shocked at how good it is. At first glance with 3D printed parts and a higher cost, it looks like kind of a joke but Prusa has done such an amazing job turning this design. It has done an amazing job with everything I have thrown at it.

How long did it take you to assemble? Was it hard to assemble or straight forward?

[@flantc]

@@jamesamous5854 It’s a solid 8 hours. It wouldn’t say it’s easy but it is worth it if you like to understand how things work. I think a good indicator of whether you should build or buy assembled is what you plan to do with it. If you are someone that wants to use it to make mechanical things, your own enclosures, gears, anything functional, then you should build it. If you are looking to use it for artistic things, models, sculptures, stamps, etc, then maybe buy it. That’s just my impression from people I know and is not a universal do/don’t build rule.

well done, I totally agree with your Comparison

[@MSB3000]

This is exactly the kind of obsessive comparison I was looking for.

[@Skhulile84]

Love your reviews so detailed! What do you think of the CR-10 Smart Pro? I'm looking to get my first 3D Printer, was gonna get the S1 Pro, but the larger bed size of the CR-10 Smart Pro makes me think twice...

Nice comparison video. The Ender 3 S1 Pro is now $399. I just bought an Ender 3 Max Neo for $295.

[@AWZ1287]
