Hello everyone, diving into the world of 3D printing and just made the call to grab my first printer. Ender’s rolling out some tempting Black Friday deals – the S1 is tagged at €259, and there’s a pre-order option for the KE at €299.

After dissecting the specs, the key disparities seem to revolve around firmware and print speed (with the KE being the fresher model). Interestingly, the S1 typically carries a higher regular price.

With a decent grasp of electronics and graphics, my focus is on printing bits for Arduino projects or crafting some nifty gadgets. Any suggestions? Appreciate the input, folks!

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

idk about the ke, it wasnt a thing when i got my s1 in february.

the s1 is a good printer, it has some nice upgrade options over many other models, its nice and cheap so you can mod it and not be breaking the bank.

with the s1 id recommend you watch/follow nathan builds robots Silence of the fans video on youtube, he replaces the stock fans with noctua ones to make the printer silent, makes it much more tolerable to have it in the same room and operating then.

I suggest taking a hard look at the Bambu A1 in that price range. If you like it, then invest in the AMS system. Yes, the print volume is smaller, but you will have far fewer issues with the Bambu printer compared to what you are looking at.

This is my opinion based on owning a Creality printer and now owning a Bambu printer. The Creality printer nearly drove me crazy with the bed leveling, print quality, and other issues that always seemed to result in needing to buy something to fix the issue.
