The Ender-5 Max is designed to handle a variety of filament types, including PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, and PC. Along with that one of the advantages of the Ender 5 Max is the auto z-offset. This means you no longer should have to change the z-offset manually.
This versatility allows users to experiment with different materials to achieve desired mechanical properties such as 3d printed interior or exterior car parts.
Take the Ender-5 Max and compare with with the large Ender-3 V3 Plus and you have a massive build volume upgrade for around $369 more.
