Best Filament for the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro

The loaded 2022 Ender: all-metal 300C hotend and a 110C bed, held back only by a brass nozzle and open frame.

Last updated: June 2026


The Ender 3 S1 Pro was Creality's fully-loaded 2022 Ender, with a Sprite full-metal direct-drive extruder rated for 80N of force, an all-metal 300C hotend, a 110C heated bed, CR-Touch leveling, and a PEI plate. That all-metal hotend plus the hotter bed drives the filament story: a 300C nozzle and 110C bed give it more high-temp range than most Enders of its era, enough for ABS, ASA, and nylon if you manage the open frame.

What the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro prints well

Recommended materials for this printer:

PLA PLA+ PETG TPU

No enclosure, so ABS, ASA, PC and nylon will warp and crack. Stick to PLA, PLA+, PETG and TPU for reliable prints. Carbon- and glass-fibre composites also need a hardened nozzle first.

The limit is the stock 0.4mm brass nozzle. It's fine for PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, and ASA, but brass wears fast on carbon-fiber and glass-fiber blends, so abrasives need a hardened-steel nozzle you buy separately. The 80N Sprite extruder is strong and feeds TPU very well. As with every open-frame Ender, ABS and ASA on larger parts want an enclosure since there's no chamber heat to hold them.

It's an older machine now, slower than the V3 line and not Klipper-native, but the 300C all-metal hotend and 110C bed still make it capable. Worth it on a discount if you want the Sprite extruder and high-temp range. For speed and a stock hardened nozzle, the newer V3 models edge it out.

Filament notes for the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro

  • All-metal 300C hotend plus a 110C bed handles PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, and ASA.
  • Stock brass nozzle is not for abrasives, so add a hardened-steel nozzle for carbon-fiber or glass-fiber filaments.
  • The 80N Sprite direct-drive extruder feeds TPU and flexibles very well.
  • 110C bed gives better ABS/ASA adhesion than Enders capped at 100C.
  • Open frame, no chamber heat, so enclose for large ABS/ASA parts.
  • Dry nylon and PETG before printing for cleaner results.
  • Slower than the V3 line, so high-flow filaments won't show their full benefit here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Ender 3 S1 Pro print ABS and nylon?
Yes, the all-metal 300C hotend and 110C heated bed give it the temperature range for ABS, ASA, and many nylons. For large prints, add an enclosure since the frame is open with no heated chamber.
Can the Ender 3 S1 Pro print carbon-fiber filament?
Only after a nozzle change. It ships with a brass nozzle that abrasive CF and GF blends wear down quickly. Fit a hardened-steel nozzle first, then the 300C hotend has the range for CF composites.
Is the Ender 3 S1 Pro still worth buying?
On a discount, yes. The Sprite all-metal extruder, 300C hotend, and 110C bed are still capable for PLA through ABS/ASA. But it's older and slower than the V3 line, which also ships with a hardened nozzle the S1 Pro lacks.
What's the best filament for the Ender 3 S1 Pro?
PLA and PETG for everyday prints, TPU thanks to the strong Sprite extruder, and ABS/ASA for heat-resistant parts (enclosure recommended). Add a hardened nozzle before attempting carbon-fiber blends.
