Is the Ender-3 S1 Pro good for TPU?

Yes. The Sprite full-metal dual-gear direct extruder sits close to the hot end, which shortens the filament path and feeds flexible TPU without the buckling that bowden extruders cause.

Can it print ABS and PA?

The nozzle reaches 300°C and the bed 110°C, so both are within range. The open frame means ABS and PA parts are prone to warping and drafts, so an enclosure helps for large or tall prints.

How is it different from the Ender-3 S1?

The Pro adds a 300°C all-metal hot end, a PEI build plate, an LED light and a bed handle. The S1 tops out at a lower nozzle temperature and ships with a different build surface.

Do I still have to level the bed manually?

Yes. CR Touch compensates for 16 points automatically, but the four bed screws should be trammed by hand first so the sensor works within its range.

What is the build volume?

220 x 220 x 270 mm, with a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.05–0.4 mm layer heights. It takes 1.75 mm filament.

Does it print in multiple colors?

No. It has a single nozzle and a single extruder, so multi-color or soluble-support printing needs manual filament swaps or a separate multi-material system.

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the Ender-3 S1 Pro as a solid step up from the base Ender-3, mainly for its direct extruder and auto-leveling. Most praise comes from people printing TPU and PETG. Complaints center on speed and on ABS warping without an enclosure.

What people mention

ExtruderPraisedOwners say the Sprite direct extruder feeds TPU and other flexibles without the jams common on bowden setups.
Auto-levelingPraisedReviewers report that CR Touch gives a reliable first layer with far less fiddling than paper-and-feeler leveling.
Print speedCriticisedOwners note the 150 mm/s ceiling feels slow next to newer high-speed machines, especially on big prints.
ABS warpingCriticisedUsers printing ABS or PA report warping and layer splitting because the frame is open and drafts hit the part.
Build platePraisedThe PEI plate is described as gripping well and releasing prints without tools once cooled.
NoiseMixedSome owners find stepper noise noticeable during fast moves; others say it is normal for an open-frame printer.

About the Creality 3D Ender-3 S1 Pro Desktop 3D Printer FDM 3D Printing with Sprite All Metal Extruder PEI Ma

The Ender-3 S1 Pro is a desktop FDM 3D printer with a 220 x 220 x 270 mm build volume. It uses 1.75 mm filament and has a brass nozzle that handles temperatures up to 300°C. It works with PLA, ABS, wood, TPU, PETG and PA filaments.

The Sprite extruder is an all-metal, dual-gear direct drive with 1:3.5 gearing and 80N of extrusion force. It feeds smoothly and handles flexible filaments such as TPU. The build surface is a magnetic spring steel PEI plate. The printer has a platform handle for pulling the plate out when it is hot, and an LED light for dark rooms.

CR Touch auto-leveling compensates for print height at 16 points on the heat bed. The 4.3-inch color touch screen supports nine languages and dims automatically after three minutes without input. The printer has a filament sensor and can resume a print that was interrupted.
