Artillery M1 Pro S1 vs Creality K2 SE Combo
Technical comparison · Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)
Both machines do the same job, and one thing decides the choice: the M1 Pro S1 has an enclosed chamber, the K2 SE does not. The M1 Pro S1 also costs about 175 € less (roughly 320 € against 499 €).

| Software notes | Artillery OS, a Klipper-based system. Compatible with standard slicers like Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer via G-code. Supports Wi-Fi transfer, SD card and touchscreen control. Compared to closed platforms, it allows advanced adjustment of printing parameters, but lacks a native cloud ecosystem and requires manual slicer configuration. | Natively compatible with Creality Print 6.0 and other third-party slicers. It supports Wi-Fi connectivity and features 8 GB of internal eMMC memory for local storage of G-code and 3MF files. |
The differences that matter
- Chamber: enclosed on the M1 Pro S1, open on the K2 SE → the bed reaches 120 °C behind walls on one, 100 °C in open air on the other.
- Build volume: 260 × 260 × 260 mm against 220 × 215 × 245 mm → a part 230 mm wide only fits on the M1 Pro S1.
- Price: about 320 € against 499 € → about 175 € less for the enclosed machine.
- Footprint: 35.5 × 35.5 cm against 43.7 × 38.9 cm → the K2 SE fits a tighter shelf.
Which one to choose
Choose M1 Pro S1 if…
you print functional parts every week that need up to 260 × 260 mm of bed and 260 mm of height, and you want an enclosed chamber and a bed that reaches 120 °C (figures declared by the manufacturer). The trade-off is footprint: it takes 43.7 × 38.9 cm of bench against 35.5 × 35.5 cm for the K2 SE.
Choose K2 SE Combo if…
your parts fit in 220 × 215 mm and you want the more compact machine, with G-code and 3MF files stored in its 8 GB internal memory and a nozzle up to 300 °C. You pay about 175 € more and accept an open frame and a bed capped at 100 °C.
