The Ender 3 S1 Plus has a 300x300mm build area instead of the 220x220mm print bed of a standard Ender 3 S1 . This means you can print things like helmets that don't normally fit on a 22 or 23cm print bed.

It's a beginner-friendly printer, with automatic bed levelling using a CR touch sensor. And it's largely pre-assembled and easy to set up, even with little experience. Unlike the standard Ender 3 S1, it has a 4.3" touch screen like the pro version. The print bed is magnetic and the printer comes with a PC-coated spring steel plate, which makes it easier to remove prints compared to a glass print bed.

The extruder has a dual gear for a better grip on the filament. As it's a direct extruder, printing with flexible filaments such as TPU is not so difficult.
