When converted into a laser engraver, the company shows how to use the system using Lightburn. The company provides its own Creality slicing software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, but the 3D printer is also compatible with Cura, Repetier-Host, and Simplif圓D.
Host interface – USB Type-C port or SD card.Printing filament – PLA, ABS, PVA, Wood, TPU90-95, PETG, PA.Print bed – Spring steel PEI magnetic build plate.Extrusion method – “Sprite” full-metal dual-gear direct extruder with 1:3.5 gearing.Features – Resume printing, Filament detector.Maximum printing volume – 220 x 220 x 270mm.Since Karl reviewed the Ender-3 Pro 3D printer over two years ago, I asked about the difference and was told the new model got various improvements such as a direct extruder, CR-Touch auto bed-leveling, and support for high-temperature printing. The company sent me a full kit with a 10W laser module, so after looking at the 3D printer’s specifications, I’ll check the various packages, and report my experience assembling the 3D printer, and then converting it into a laser engraver in this article, before actually testing both functions in the second part of the review. Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro is a 3D printer that can be converted into a laser engraver thanks to a choice of 1.6W, 5W, and 10W laser modules, making it in theory a space-saving machine that can print 3D objects and engrave & cut materials.
