A harmonious pairing: ESPHome electronics and Creality 3D printers

The world of DIY electronics, particularly those crafted with ESPHome, frequently finds solace in the comforting arms of 3D-printing. When your heart is set on designing a device that caters precisely to your desires, a custom enclosure is the cherry on top. And what better instrument to materialize your vision than a 3D printer?

Enter Creality, a name synonymous with budget-friendly yet trustworthy 3D printers, presenting two notable contenders: the Ender 3 V2 Neo and the Ender 3 S1 Pro.

Ender 3 S1 Pro: taking on the Prusa MK3S+

The Ender 3 S1 Pro, a top-tier bed slinger, aims to rival the esteemed Prusa MK3S+. Its crowning glory is the all-metal direct drive extruder, affectionately named Sprite, flaunting an impressive 80 N pushing force. This attribute renders the S1 Pro a perfect ally for printing flexible filaments, such as TPU, outshining its more budget-conscious counterpart, the Ender 3 V2 Neo. Assisted by the CR-Touch, the S1 Pro probes 16 points on the heated bed, guaranteeing your prints are flawlessly flat and exhibit exceptional quality – an accomplishment that has captured the admiration of numerous reviewers, who also praise the printer's effortless assembly.

Ender 3 V2 Neo: simplicity in assembly

The Ender 3 V2 Neo, compared to its predecessors, is a breeze to assemble. You'll be up and running in a mere three steps. Sharing the CR Touch for auto bed-levelling with its more advanced sibling, the S1 Pro, the V2 Neo introduces a spring steel magnetic build plate, making print removal as easy as bending the plate.

In the enchanting domain of DIY electronics and 3D-printing, ESPHome creations and Creality 3D printers form a celestial partnership. With the Ender 3 V2 Neo and Ender 3 S1 Pro at your disposal, you can fashion the ideal enclosure for your custom-made devices, ensuring every detail is meticulously attended to.
