What is a Box frame cartesian?
This is based on the Ender 3 S1, which means it has a similar build volume of 220x220x280.
you might also get spare nozzles, extruders, and other consumables for reasonable prices.

It takes about 20 minutes to set up the Ender 5 S1.
Next is something that Creality has historically suffered with, and that would be the hot end and extruder.
On the Ender 5 S1, we have the Sprite extruder, as seen on the Ender 3 S1.
This isnt what I was expecting; I truly expected the short filament path fully integrated Sprite Pro.
Creality happily proclaims the Ender 5 S1 can reach speeds of 250mm/s on their website with 2000mm/s2 accelerations.
However, those are kinds of fibs.
Yes, the Ender 5 S1canprint at that speed, but those speeds aren’t theprintingspeeds.
Everyone else I have spoken to has had the expected 2000mm/s2 acceleration or even 3000mm/s2 acceleration.
The second step should not be there.
The bonus niggle is the optional enclosure.
Take the Elegoo Neptune X; it is usually $400 but can be had for $309 currently.
It has a 220x220x300mm build volume making it slightly taller than this.

The Sovol SV05 is another competitor, usually going for $349 but currently available for $299.
Lastly, we have Crealitys biggest competition: Creality.
