Creality Ender-5 S1 3D Printer Review

Print Showcase

Please enjoy this collection of prints we did with this printer so you can get an idea of what to expect from it, not all of these prints have a practical function, but that’s not what 3D printing is about, it’s about creating things you wouldn’t be able to normally and having some fun with it as you do.

In the last review we did of a 3D Printer, I had printed our video editor a headphone clamp for his desk, but between then and this review, he broke it. He got a little overzealous with the screw and had tightened it a bit too far and snapped the thread clean off. So I’ve taken the opportunity to print a brand new one for him in a slightly different design. The Creality Printer managed to print this perfectly well with just a little issue with the first layer, but I’m not going to blame the printer for this as I believe it was down to the print bed not being perfectly cleaned before the print.

Another thing I tried printing is this box that I threw together in a cad software, this design was meant to be a tight fit, but not so tight that it’s impossible to put the lid on. As you can see from the photo, the lid printed with a slightly off size, and as a result the two pieces don’t fit together at all, and there is some slight damage to the part from trying to get the two to fit. This shows us one thing to bear in mind is that precise designs may need to take a few iterations to get a perfect fit, as we also found a few other prints were slightly off and caused an overly tight fit.
