Pros & Cons
Creality Falcon A1 Pro 20W
What we like
- AI visual autofocus removes manual leveling
- Touchscreen plus WiFi app control
- Same 600mm/s CoreXY speed as the base A1 with smarter automation
- Optional 2W IR module enables bare-metal and plastic marking
- Enclosed Class 1 design with air assist and active safety monitoring
Watch out for
- The 2W IR module is a ~$335 add-on, not included in the base package
- Smaller work area than the cheaper A1 despite roughly 2x the price
- Premium mainly buys autofocus/WiFi convenience, not more power or work area
Creality Falcon2 Pro 40W
What we like
- Includes a bonus 1.6W fine-detail laser module (not bundled with the 22W)
- 600mm/s CoreXY speed with enclosed camera positioning
- Deep cutting power at 40W inside a Class 1 enclosure
- Air assist and multi-point safety monitoring standard
Watch out for
- No autofocus — manual leveling despite Pro branding
- No WiFi
- Pricier than the 22W tier for buyers who don't need the extra power
