  • Our take on the Creality Ender-3 S1 Desktop 3D Printer

    The Ender-3 S1 is Creality's upgraded entry-level FDM printer, adding a direct-drive Sprite extruder, CR Touch auto bed leveling and dual Z-axis screws to the familiar Ender-3 frame. The Sprite extruder's dual gears and 1:3.5 ratio give strong, slip-resistant feeding and handle flexible filaments like TPU far better than the Bowden setup on the base Ender-3. The 16-point CR Touch and spring-steel PC-coated sheet remove most of the manual leveling and adhesion fiddling that trips up beginners. It suits first-time buyers and tinkerers who want a proven platform with modern conveniences, though it is still a bedslinger with no enclosure and a modest build volume next to larger or enclosed rivals.

    Best forFirst-time 3D printer buyersPrinting flexible filaments like TPUUsers who dislike manual bed levelingBudget-conscious hobbyists upgrading from a base Ender-3
    Pros
    • Direct-drive Sprite extruder handles TPU and other flexible filaments
    • CR Touch 16-point auto leveling cuts manual bed tramming
    • Dual Z-axis screws and motors reduce gantry sag and layer lines
    • Spring-steel PC-coated build plate releases prints by bending
    • Mostly pre-assembled; about six steps to first print
    • Wide filament support: PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU
    Cons
    • Open-frame bedslinger with no enclosure, so ABS and drafts are a struggle
    • Single 220x220x270 mm build volume limits large prints
    • Loud stock part-cooling and mainboard fans
    • No built-in Wi-Fi; needs a separate module or SD card for files
    • Older 8-bit-era motion feel compared with newer fast printers

    What reviewers say

    Owners generally rate the Ender-3 S1 as a solid, beginner-friendly step up from the base Ender-3, praising the direct extruder and auto leveling. Common complaints center on fan noise, the lack of networking and the limits of an open bedslinger for engineering filaments.

    What people mention
    • ExtruderPraisedOwners say the Sprite direct drive grips filament firmly and handles flexible TPU without the slipping of Bowden setups.
    • Bed levelingPraisedThe CR Touch 16-point system is widely described as a time-saver that cuts down on failed first layers.
    • NoiseCriticisedReviewers complain the stock cooling and mainboard fans are loud enough to be distracting in a shared room.
    • ConnectivityCriticisedBuyers note there is no Wi-Fi or network printing, so files go over SD card or a separate module.
    • Build volumeMixedThe 220x220x270 mm area is fine for most hobby prints but called limiting for larger models.
    • EnclosureCriticisedThe open frame is said to make ABS and other warp-prone filaments hard to print reliably.

    About the Creality Ender-3 S1 Desktop 3D Printer

    The Creality Ender-3 S1 is a desktop FDM 3D printer. About 96% of the body comes pre-installed, and assembly takes 6 steps. It has preset interfaces for laser engraving and LED lamps. It prints PLA, TPU, PETG and ABS filaments.

    It uses the "Sprite" direct dual-gear extruder. Two chrome steel gears engage at a 1:3.5 ratio and push with up to 80N of force. The CR Touch system levels the bed automatically at 16 points. The PC-coated spring steel print sheet bends so printed models can be removed easily.

    The Z axis has dual screws and dual motors for smoother, more synchronized movement. A 32-bit silent mainboard keeps noise low. A filament sensor detects run-out or breakage. The printer records its print data and can resume printing after a power loss or filament break.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Ender-3 S1 good for beginners?
    Yes. It comes mostly assembled, has auto bed leveling and a removable spring-steel sheet, which removes the two biggest early hurdles. Expect to learn slicing settings and some tuning.
    Can it print TPU and other flexible filaments?
    Yes. The direct-drive Sprite extruder with dual gears is designed for flexible filament and is one of its main advantages over Bowden-style Ender-3 models.
    How is it different from the base Ender-3?
    The S1 adds a direct-drive extruder, CR Touch auto leveling, dual Z-axis screws and a spring-steel build plate. The base Ender-3 has none of these.
    Does it have Wi-Fi?
    No. The printer has no built-in networking; you print from an SD card or add a separate Wi-Fi module or Raspberry Pi running Klipper or OctoPrint.
    What can I print with it?
    PLA, PETG, TPU and ABS are all supported. PLA and PETG are the easiest; ABS benefits from an enclosure the printer does not include.
    What comes in the box?
    The partially assembled printer, the Sprite extruder and hotend, CR Touch, spring-steel build plate, tool kit, sample filament and SD card with slicing software.
    Where is the Creality Ender-3 S1 Desktop 3D Printer cheapest?
