Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling rapid prototyping, customization, and cost-effective production. Large-format 3D printers offer significant advantages in fabricating sizable components with improved structural integrity and reduced assembly requirements. This study presents an experimental comparative analysis of four widely used large-volume 3D printers: K1, CR-10SE, Ender-3S1 Pro, and Ender-3V3 SE. Unlike previous studies that rely solely on technical specifications, this research evaluates the real-world performance of these printers based on key parameters, including print speed (160-600 mm/s), nozzle and heated bed temperature capacities (260-300°C and 100-110°C, respectively), acceleration (up to 20,000 mm/s²), and material compatibility. Furthermore, benchmark geometry tests were conducted to assess dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, and total print time under controlled conditions. The results indicate that the K1 and CR-10SE models demonstrate superior high-speed and high-temperature performance, making them well-suited for industrial applications requiring rapid production cycles and multi-material printing. In contrast, the Ender-3 series offers a balance between affordability and functionality, making them ideal for educational and hobbyist use. This study provides a data-driven, experimental framework for selecting the most suitable 3D printer based on application-specific requirements.

Üç boyutlu (3B) baskı, hızlı prototipleme, özelleştirme ve uygun maliyetli üretim sağlayarak üretimde devrim yaratmıştır. Büyük formatlı 3B yazıcılar, iyileştirilmiş yapısal bütünlük ve azaltılmış montaj gereksinimleri ile önemli bileşenlerin üretiminde önemli avantajlar sunar. Bu çalışma, yaygın olarak kullanılan dört büyük hacimli 3B yazıcının deneysel karşılaştırmalı analizini sunmaktadır: K1, CR-10SE, Ender-3S1 Pro ve Ender-3V3 SE. Yalnızca teknik özelliklere dayanan önceki çalışmalardan farklı olarak, bu araştırma, baskı hızı (160-600 mm/s), nozul ve ısıtılmış yatak sıcaklığı kapasiteleri (sırasıyla 260-300°C ve 100-110°C), ivme (20.000 mm/s²'ye kadar) ve malzeme uyumluluğu dahil olmak üzere temel parametrelere göre bu yazıcıların gerçek dünya performansını değerlendirmektedir. Ayrıca, kontrollü koşullar altında boyutsal doğruluğu, yüzey pürüzlülüğünü ve toplam baskı süresini değerlendirmek için kıyaslama geometri testleri yürütülmüştür. Sonuçlar, K1 ve CR-10SE modellerinin üstün yüksek hız ve yüksek sıcaklık performansı gösterdiğini ve bu sayede hızlı üretim döngüleri ve çok malzemeli baskı gerektiren endüstriyel uygulamalar için uygun olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşılık, Ender-3 serisi uygun fiyat ve işlevsellik arasında bir denge sunarak onları eğitim ve hobi amaçlı kullanım için ideal hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışma, uygulamaya özgü gereksinimlere göre en uygun 3B yazıcıyı seçmek için veri odaklı, deneysel bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
