The Creality Ender 3 V3 SE is very good. There, I said it!
In my recent video criticizing Creality for still selling the original Ender-3 after so many years, many of you said to check out their latest budget offering - the Ender-3 V3 SE. Is it better than the original?

I think some of these comments forget that many beginners like myself aren’t even sure we’re going to do 3D printing long term, and just want something that works well enough without committing huge amounts of time and money
Exactly I just bought one today from Marketplace lol
Same here. Ive been researching for a while, and i stopped because of how difficult and expensive it is. I kept looking, and i found out the comments and people talking are talking advanced on a beginners video, so it made no sense to me at the time
i got an ender 3 for 2020 christmas and me and my dad took a full night building it and i didnt use it for 2021-2023 but after a full day of tinkering with it i got it working good and have printed more in the last couple of day than the entire time i have owned it.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. But that is not a problem that is particular to 3D printing. Its the same throughout the IT/Technology world. Those people that really understand a subject seem to forget that they knew nothing at one point years ago. They start rattling off words and just assume that everyone can understand what they are saying. I use a free and open source 3d modeling/video editing/game making program called Blender3D. I found it online back in 2001. I downloaded it and installed it, fired it up and the interface was so confusing that I shut it down and did not fire the program back of for 6 months. ( To be fair Blender3D was originally written for an SGI graphics workstation running UNIX. The creators just did a straight port to windows and did not bother to change things to fit the new operating system) I finally got determined to learn it and just kept on reading so called "tutorials" on line. i finally came across a tutorial where you created a hammer standing on a wood grain surface. The author went step by step, keystroke by keystroke. I successfully completed it and have been using Blender ever since. But if it were not for that one tutorial I would have given up. These days the situation has gotten even worse since social media and the internet are popular. These days people just press the record button on a screen recording program and start to talk. They seem clueless to the fact that the people that will be watching the so called "tutorial" cannot see their keyboard or mouse. I mentioned this on a Blender3d forum and got totally flamed.
@@thehunter1113sermoon d1. Had me like that 😂
I’m not a proponent of the industry trend to block the ability to fully customize the source code on klipper devices. It’s a “better to have it, and not need it” situation that would make a world of difference in perfecting print settings, not to mention more consumer-friendly for advanced users.
Can't have users poking around your "open source" code though when there are traces of it being lifted from other device. Oops did I say that?
@@briankale5977 exactly. This is probably why Bambu is so reluctant to share source code.
I remember when they wouldn't give us root on sonicpad, someone figured out how to get root and they made an update to release root option. I fully agree. I bought the sonicpad when it was still in the early days and they tried to block us from updating klipper and mainsail
Super happy with my V3 SE as a first 3d printer, easy to setup and get started. I did find exactly the same issue with the slicer, some models I imported it does weird things to the inner perimeter. I couldn't find any fix for it so tried Prusa slicer, it had no issues with the same model so I stuck with it and like it :) From the perspective of someone who wants a 3D printer as a tool to use, to print out some of the ideas in my head, this printer has been brilliant for me.
Does Prusa now have a good SE profile?
@@websitesthatneedanem also wondering that
Probably a good call to switch. I got a 3 v3 SE as my first 3D printer and figured I may as well use their slicer cause why not. I didn't have really too many issues at all until I updated the program and.... It wiped all of my profiles. About 2 weeks worth of work dumped. So that was fun.
Latest version of Cura has a profile for V3 SE. I have been using it for a few days and works seemlesly so far
That's actually good to know as I'm watching this video for the that exact reason. I want to build functional parts mostly mostly for my invertebrate collection. Just needs to get the job done with good print quality.
I just got this printer recently, and I have to say I appreciate how "sticky" the bed is. I don't use any glue stick, and only once did I have a print get knocked out of place, and that was with cheaper PLA. And regarding TPU, I print it at 70° with no problems, the prints peel up easily enough afterwards. Also, the screen isn't becoming "unresponsive" during automatic functions, it locks you out because it's busy.
A glue stick is used as an adhesion *inhibitor*. It allows for easier separation from the build surface and is suitable for more flexible filaments, like PETG and TPU, which can destroy smooth PEI. Adjust your Z offset and clean the print surface if you have adhesion issues.
@@theofficialczex1708 Ah I thought it was to help it stick, my one print that was knocked off, I put down some glue stick and it held for the rest of the print (it was a multipart and I didn't want the other pieces to get messed up). But my TPU prints come off the build plate very easily, sometimes I can even peel them up without taking off the build plate. How would it damage the plate?
@@Manu__R It depends on the surface, but smooth PEI is notorious for ripping off when using TPU or PETG. Glue likely helped because your offset is higher than it should be.
@@theofficialczex1708 Got it, thanks
Screen function is clearly for beginners to not mess up something during those operations. But they should add some clear animation that progress is happening.
Thanks for taking the time to record, edit, and share this! Really nice looking offer from Creality for the price. I'm still rocking my E3 V2, added a CR Touch last year, and about to swap out the extruder and hot end for a Sprite combo unit, pretty stoked about that.
Thank you for the comprehensive reviews. We appreciate all the feedback, both positive and constructive. Anticipating more of your outstanding videos in the future.
What a surprise! You wrote comment in here. I told there is nobody to write. I asked several questions on your website. No answer whatsoever.
@@sch-handyman thats weird! someone replied instantly but sadly they were not helpful
can I wash the PEI bed with water?
warm soapy water will do the job perfectly@@simplekapibara
yes @@simplekapibara
I got 4 of these back in October and have ran about 20-25kg through each one. I switched out the nozzle size and switched to a glass bed for personal preference. I am more than impressed with this, all my machine have been running flawless, and at significantly higher speeds than my other printers.
Why do I feel like this was a paid comment 🤔
Cus it 90% is @@TS_Mind_Swept
did you have to sand paper the leveling?
what do people print at such volumes? is it products for sale?
Fair review and response to your prior comments on creality. I watched your review with interest to fully understand your point of view on the printer I’ve owned for a month. You’re right about the runout sensor, I hope it can be fixed soon enough. I will definitely have a look at your profile for prusha slicer. Thanks for your efforts on this. I have no idea how to create a profile in the cura slicer so this will help me understand more.
Thank you for your review, as someone who has watched from the sidelines for so long and looking for an entry point. Watching until the end was helpful.
I got one of these a while back to get into the tool space, after watching your previous ender-3 video. I got this printer as a tool, not a hobby (I don’t care about open source or modality). I was up and running in 30 minutes, no issues since, and no tuning. It has been an amazing tool that has allowed me to build parts that I couldn’t before, and at an incredibly low price. For what it’s worth, I have no high spot on my printer bed, my leveling outputs are all quite consistent. I did have some odd slicer outputs similar to what you displayed, I haven’t found why it happens, or a definitive solution, although it’s mostly a non issue. Edit: thanks for the slicer profile, I will give that a shot
I'm using cura slicer for my ender 3 v3 se. There's no profile for it but I've been using the s1 profile and I've just altered print speed. I print most things at 180mm/s max to reduce rocking.
@@matthewsmedley2521actually Cura just added a profile for the V3 SE recently.
@@AcidburnHckr yes! newest version should have it (I wasn't sure, since I have the manually installed profile that I got from their github, but it should be the same thing)
@@AcidburnHckr I'll have to get the newest version and try it. I've been using the profile I mentioned since I had the printer.
I have two high spots on opposite cornets at around 0.6. So just to add that it isn't an exception.
Excelent video! Thank you and congratulations! The information and editing are impeccable
One thing I find about reviews is that far more emphasis is put on speed than I care about, I would much rather have a better print that took twice as long wheres most reviewers really prize speed. Cheers
You can have both. THE100 is a fun project to build.
Same here! The V3 SE was my first 3D printer too, and I had a smooth setup. I also switched to Prusa slicer and it made a significant difference. Loving the printer for bringing my ideas to life! 😊
Could you share the slicer settings. I'm new to 3d printing and went with cura cuz it seemed simpler. But I'm having some issues. Not sure if it's printer or slicer.
I loved my OG (then gradually upgraded) Ender 3 so much that Creality has warm spot in my heart. I've recently upgraded to Bambu but I love that there's a great new Ender to suggest to new people joining the hobby.
Enders and their owners are such a perfect example of the 'Humans will pack-bond with anything' phenomenon. After all the cable management mods, cooling fan/duct upgrades, belt tensioner locks, Sonic Pad mount, zero-offset probe mount, and endless hours of tweaking and troubleshooting, my E3 S1 Pro is *mine* 🥰 A brand new, objectively superior, just-works-straight-out-the-box replacement wouldn't hold the same place in my heart. Then again, maybe it's just some unholy mashup of sunk cost fallacy and Stockholm syndrome, who knows 😅
@@glittalogik An Ender 3 Pro almost killed my interest in the hobby. I believe it was a perfect storm of QC oversights. The thing didn't work consistently or properly. Then I bought an "entry level beginner's printer" from Mingda and it gave me what I wanted: very good prints with almost no interaction by me, which got me enthusiastic again. It's a hit-or-miss hobby.
Love your videos! You've helped me a lot over the years! Can you do an updated video on making Lithophanes with the newer machines? Like a Bambu X1C? I got them down pretty good with my old creality printers, but I've sold those now... Also, Makers Muse and CNC Kitchen are about the only KZhead makers I trust anymore.
Thank you for this video. The information you provided was great. Hoping to soon purchase a 3d printer and videos like this help to decide what's out there and the quality of the product. Right now it's just a dream to own one but when I eventually can ill be ready to make good choices at reasonable prices for a beginner. Again thank you.
Nice! Saw the previous vid just after I bought mine so I'm happy to see this better news 😂 im a lvl 0 beginner and you're definitely right about me being able to get started quickly, mostly
Nice! Glad it wasn't a bad experience.
@@MakersMuse oh and something about its ridiculous default max acceleration (4000) and about how it supposedly even overrides things that you've manually specified? Which could cause problems? I heard about it in a video somewhere
this is my first printer and its been amazing, i print at 180mms not 150mms, i did a couple at 200mms with no issues and with pla my bed can be 50 and minimal sticking, i did find the creality slicer to be limited and once i went to cura and got a profile done its been great.
Great video, thanks for the details.
Your succinct review is just what I needed to know about the Ender-3 V3 SE. Thanks!
Great video! I am still using one of the very first Ender 3s that has never been upgraded, still works. Just can’t afford a newer printer thanks for the opinion though 😊
‘Zed’ ! Awesome. Thank you very much for this. Total noob and got this for my daughter on a friend’s recommendation. Your knowledge and explanations are super helpful. I’m looking forward to trying this out.
Got one on Black Friday deal and loving it so far. It’s my first 3d printer so I got heaps to learn but doing all the calibrations has been a blast.
Spot on! The fixed bed can be a learning curve, but mastering it pays off. My V3 SE has been reliable, and I've enjoyed the creative process with it.
Honestly it's really good for a Creality option. Mine is also pretty good, although I'm not the biggest fan of the fixed bed. Some have it super leveled, some have it insanely unleveled, other times it's just the gantry that's not perfectly squared, like mine was. I don't think that high spot on the bed is the cause of the weight sensor tho, it's probably just the plastic peg that's too long, mine is at almost 0.00
wtf at 0.00? my best ones are at 0.2 and others around 0.4 while two at 0.6
I was gifted and just started using for my first ever machine a V2. I must have got one of the good ones because it's been pretty easy to use so far. My one giant complaint has been loading filament into the drive module. The factory hole past the rollers is maybe 2mm wide and almost impossible to thread into. So I drilled it out to about 4-5mm and now I can swap filament far more easily. I did see your video about the z-axis limit switch being too high, and I made that modification as well. The run-out on the springs is a real problem. Today I'm getting a spring steel print bed to upgrade from the glass. Thanks for the well made and informative videos!
Ive seen that green tree triangle stuff, in my case it was due to multiple faces defined in the same area. Id use boolean operations in blender and had been lazy and not cleaned everything. After clearing out the duped surfaces and vertices, the green went away again.
I asked my partner for a 3D printer for Christmas and since she doesn’t know anything about 3D printers I had to select one and share it with her. After having done some research I choose the Ender 3 V3 SE. Then I saw your Creality video and started doubting my choice lol. I decided to stick with it though, because it seemed like a good choice and a lot of your criticism didn’t seem to really apply to it. Glad I did :D
Good to see some change. I’m impressed with the offset force sensor. I must admit to think about changing out my work horse and am tossing up with a k1 or maybe a bamboo lab but the extra cost of the bamboo lab seems hard to justify.
Another great video....lots of very useful ingo!!!
Nice haircut Angus, I just ordered 3 a1minis for my classroom. I’m so excited. It really does say a lot about creality that they keep sending you printers to review.
Sounds like you may have missed the S1/S1 Pro experience which is pretty similar to what I see in the video of the V3 unboxing/setup. S1 was plagued with its own share of issues, though, but it was still worlds better than a regular Ender-3
I got an ender 3 v2 neo about a year ago at the last year's black Friday and it's never given me any problems, in fact it's been very reliable and prints great, now that I know 3d printing is definitely for me, my next printer will be a bamboo labs one for sure. One ender 3 is enough, or maybe I'll sell it to get the bamboo
Concise and informative.
I just got the Ender 3 v3 ke and i'm really loving it. Not alot of review content out on it tho? I would love to hear others experiences with it but it seems the SE is the only one being pushed to review.
I have one. Only complaint is that the z offset is slightly too high. I just turned up 1st layer flow to 120% and all is good. The thing is fast, so fast for a bed slinger.
I mean; there’s not much content, why don’t you make the first entry? It’s something I’ve really wanted to get into as well, I’d appreciate it.
@@KZheadstopsharingmyrealname interesting, mine came with the Z-Offset a tad too low :D
Always happy to watch Angus ❤❤❤
I had an ender v2 neo with the sprite SE on it with a sonic pad and LOVE IT. it is fast af and reliable af for PETG and PLA. I also have a Tempered glass bed but might move to G10 for speed.
I bought one on pre-order. It's my first printer and I love it! The coating on the bed came off but Creality sent me a replacement. I removed the full coating and the glue from the old one and ordered a thin sheet of G10, which I then glued on the spring steel. This way I don't need to use clamps but I get the benefits of G10 print bed. I haven't even used the new build plate they sent me.
I had exactly the same thing happen to me, on the VERY FIRST print. Solved it by putting a glass bed on it. I have now put 4 full spools through it with no issues, I really hate these flexible plates, never worked for me in the past . I had hoped with the auto levelling that this machine would be different, but no. I also have a replacement build sheet from them, but like you it's still in the box....lol
Kudos on the video!
I have the KE, and it's everything I could've asked for. Auto bed leveling, wifi control, extremely fast, and I don't need to mod it like my previous ender 3. Highly recommend for someone who just does casual prints
Honestly, comparing the ender 3 v2 to my Wanhao Duplicator i3, I've had only 1 real issue with my v2 and that was recent. The main driving gear collate had such a deep groove from the filament that it could no longer push the filament correctly. I didn't expect it to wear out after maybe... 4 spools of PLA? Otherwise, great machine so far. Also, thank you for making the video about laser cutters a few months back. My parents asked me if I would use a laser cutter or a lathe more and I did discover that laser cutters can act a little like lathes with the right tools. Even though the one I got doesn't have an enclosure, I'm not going to even plug it in until I get one (the enclosure and cutter were outside of their budget). Sucks that even the lowest end fully enclosed laser is still like $1,000 USD. I've been wanting one for years but knew the logistic nightmare while still being safe. I will absolutely be rewatching that video many times while considering what to cut. Thank you ^^.
Make sure when you set up that you tighten ALL the screws. Mine set up well enough, but all my gantry screws were a little loose, and I had to level the gantry to get rid of low spots on the print bed.
Creality did up their game a bit. (and bonus style points for the Hextraction tiles.)
I spotted those too! Really need to start putting together a set of my own :)
We love a Zack Freedman fan.
This is a pretty nice printer. I went to micro center with my $100 off coupon for the E3 V2, but decided to watch this on printing a large gear. I also got to see the E3 S1 working as well. I spent another $70 plus $60 for some filament. I was not disappointed. I had some layer shifts on the X axis and the lower left corner of the bed is a bit higher. Everything is working well.
With the CR-6 SE, the touch screen basically works as a defective version of the rotary knob UI. Not sure if this from the Community firmware, or is a "gift" from Creality. So, not having a touch screen GUI for the Ender 3 V3 SE might be a feature, rather than a gap.
I just got a neo max that I'm very happy with. I've done things to it that should've broken it but didn't and it prints great!
I have had mine a few days and am loving it! It’s my first printer and I can set it and go do a couple things and feel like Itl do it’s job
I have the ender 3 v2 Neo. I'm a complete beginner and it works really well. Setup was done in like 15 minutes plus the leveling. And it hasn't ever failed on me so far. It's not fast but it does creat clean prints.
I did the dual Z axis drive, Sprite Pro Extruder and Sonic Pad..... Boat benchie in 22mins with amazing quality. Original setting with v2 Neo is 2hrs
While their list of offerings is mind numbing, Creality selling everything they ever made to this day is actually wonderful for me knowing I can get parts for my CR-10V2, or the myriad of projects people have based on a ~6 yr old design that still exists. I think Right To Repair is important environmentally. If anything what I would recommend they do is make a "Legacy" section to put older models under
I do agree with that. I have a shoe box full of CR-10V2 parts I replaced with mods which I know I can sell to someone even now.
The K1 on sale right now for $350 is a worthwhile upgrade, I just got one but returned it because the gantry belts don't line up and cause part warp of about 0.5-1.5%. Which for most all prints doesn't matter and you won't notice, but once you start making precise parts that need to fit perfectly then anywhere near 1% is a deal breaker. I wanted a appliance type printer, I already have 4 other printers that I've designed parts and upgrades myself for them, didn't want to dig into a new project. Hence I returned it
When I started my research into what 3d printer to get in August as a no-knowledge noob I remember going to Creality's website. I saw that insane list of models and nope'd right out of there. I bought a Bambu Labs P1S with the AMS at the start of October this year and I've had zero regrets or problems.
Haha same here, I got instantly overwhelmed and knew it's not a place to be for a beginner
Well if u have the money, bambulab is the right answer
I have bought one of these as my first 3D printer. Is well worth the price. I do have several nits. Like you the bed was too sticky and I changed it. Also agree the left corner on was high until I fixed and the hood is BIG. The only real bug is with the auto bed level. The auto z-offset tends to be a bit to high. Causing the 2nd layer sometimes dragging on the first. Lowering a bit fixes that problem. BTW I get OK quality w/ 170 mm/sec on TLA but usually max at 150-130.
Thanks for the work. 👍✌🖖🥃
Its interesting to note the discussions around troubleshooting and fine-tuning for the Ender-3 V3 SE. Users experiences add depth to the understanding of this printer.
Any update on the PrusaSlicer profile? I can’t wait to ditch Creality Print, but I’m not skilled enough to build my own profile. Thanks for putting that out there
Thanks for the great video and honest opinion Angus. I can't find the V3 SE printer profile in Prusa. How do I load your settings?
Might have to look into getting one of these. I got an Ender-3 V2 about this time last year as a returned unit for $60. Based on the box/packaging it came in, it looks like someone bought a newer model and tried to "return" their old V2 to upgrade for free. Been upgrading the snot out of it since. Maybe I'll finally get and install the Ender-Extender kit on it to make a 400mm^3+ printer out of it and get one of these for the finer detail smaller prints.
So i got one of these for myself for Christmas, and i was also incredibly confused looking at all the different models of ender 3. But i ginally got this, and once id worked out its setup quirks properly, its worked fine for me
It's a good time to get into 3D printing, I got an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro (very similar in specs to this) which was AU$250 and produced great prints after a quick setup. We're at the point now where it's not necessary to be a full-time tinkerer or buy expensive equipment just to get acceptable print quality.
How do you feel as this for a first 3d printer? I’ve never had one before and keep coming back to this one. Thanks for a great video
Thanks for this video Angus. Does the Creality slicer work on Macs?
Bit off topic for this video, but I would love to see you do a review of the new input shaping firmware on the Prusa Mini. it looks like an amazing speed boost Would be interesting to see how it compares to the little Bambu labs printer.
try vase mode with thicker nozzle and small print, if it is anything close to v1 it will create a cactus instead due to faulty power recovery feature also if i remember corectly there is no way to controll flow during print if you want to crank it down or up for slightly different filement
Happy to hear others are having a positive journey with the Ender-3 V3 SE.
Great video, would this be a good upgrade to an ender 3 v2 ? I'm having all sorts of issues with it despite throwing cr touch, rubber bed spacers, metal extruder :(
Great printer - another issue that I have is the cable out the back of the bed - for a compact printer, that thing sticks out about 3 miles. Love the printer though.
Hey Maker’s Muse! Did you try any low shore hardness TPU on the Sovol SV07? If you did, what were the results? Amizing video as always
You're a synth guy!! Nice ... I just picked up DM12D, my first analog synth it was on resale for a price too hard to pass up even rhough i wanted rhe Hydrasynth Explorer ...looking at spending way too much money on lathe, mill and 3d printer. What 3 3d printers ahould I be looking at as a newb?
Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about purchasing one soon. Did you encounter any nozzle clogging? And can it print PETG?
Hey Angus, Awesome video & good to see this inexpensive legend gettting some of the love it deserves. I'm a teaching assistant in the technology faculty of a school & we acutally bought 3 of these machines very shortly after they launched in an attempt to take the load of lower priority prints off of our farm of Prusa I3's. We're running them exculsivley on Esun PLA+ to keep things simple and mostly using them for less important jobs and those from younger students. We've found them to be really easy to setup and run and havn't had any major issues yet, which I can't even say about the prusa MK4's. For those who are on tight budgets or just looking for a lot of output at minimal cost, I'd struggle to reccomend anything else at this point. One thing I'd reccomend to you is to make a prusaslicer printer profile based off of the Ender 3 S1 profile that is included in prusaslicer, the two printers are very similar in build and even use the same exruder. You'll end up with a stack of ready to use print profiles for a range of layer heights that produce excellent results and require basically no tuning - it's been working really well for us so far - hope that helps. Also, I think that there we're some other creality printers that launched recently that use the same shape of spring steel sheet with a PEI coating (might have been the K1?), those would probably make for a great drop-in upgrade over the standard sheet.
Just purchased this printer as my first printer. Having decent luck so far. I can say larger less detailed prints have worked great but a few projects that are smaller or that have little more detail don't seem to work the best. Using the provided slicer from creality. Is pursa better/easier to use and have you worked out your setting Profile yet
Also the ke released right after it has several upgrades but i havent gor that one. Went from the se to the k1 max. For speed in escalation.
It would be great if you could review the KE, it looks really good, but we need to know more about
I agree but itd be great if the fn bed was adjustable..front left has one blue block the rest green.. prior to adjustment oposite corners ans 2 block on x axis and y axis exactly the same ... So the front right and baxk left were high etc... but overall its been pretty good .. i was able to change the bed dimensions to get the whole bed use and printed some lamps for a shopping centre.. right of the bed no post and its been brilliant no warp fade or splits 😊
I was thinking about picking up one of the Ender 3 V3 KE printers till you reminded me that the bambu labs one exists. I'm in the market for my 5th printer, might as well swap around brands again.
I had the same infill bug several times in the slicer. No idea what causes it but the only thing that seemed to help in my case is playing around with wall line count, so if it's 2 try making it 3 or something. That's really my only gripe with the slicer as i'm not printing anything complicated and it works well enough, but I'm waiting for someone to make a good profile for cura to make a switch
I like that everything is in the base. And cable management it's a lot nicer.
i have the v2, just helped my brother set up his v3 se, he has minimal computer knowledge, and he's picked up on it so quick, amazing for beginners imo
I'm stoked for the future of 3D printing. There are so many decent, inexpensive printers out there. Printers can only get better from here and the competition could help hasten that. Great video!
I just bought some Ender 3 Max Neos for black friday as i had my eye on the bigger Ender 5 Plus for a while. Its a hard night and day difference with the features and setup, its a huge improvment over the original ender 3.
I got a KE instead of an SE a bit ago, and man not a single bit of stringing with PLA at high speeds. Had to increase the retraction to 1mm for PETG to remove stringing but still. Very cool printers
I have an ender 3 max neo, an ender 3 v2 neo and just got the ender 3 v3 se. I do have to work o. The first two sometimes but I love them all and they all print very very well.
Awesome vid, looking to spend up to 1k on a new printer, any suggestions
@MakersMuse Hey Angus, I'm wondering what speed did you print the Clearance Castle with it? Just bought the machine, my first layer is super clean, and I tried the Castle on 120 mm/s unsucessfully.
just on time, looking to buy one. I trust makers muse the most when it comes to these reviews
Don't buy from creality bud. You will thank me later.
@@Splarkszter i really want to avoid creality and get a bambu A1, do you think it would be worth it pre-ordering for it? It's pretty hard to get it in my country.
@@Otawakun Well, if you are from a country that is not from the european union or the united states then be careful and get it from a distributor that can secure that you will receive technical help in case something fails.
@@Otawakun and the "don't buy from creality bud" take it more like a "don't buy any printer from creality whose name starts in CR". Creality is only good doing printers related to the Ender 2 and Ender 3. The K1 is becoming open source and the community is becoming their own technical service, however if you don't trust yoursefl for repair things then don't go for it.
any luck updating the printer profile for the prusa slicer?
Still waiting (5 days to go?) for my V3 SE to show up. It'll be replacing my Ultimaker Original that I've been running since ~2012. Totally agree about the massive excess of models! It took me hours to finally decide on this model. Especially since I couldn't find a simple grid comparison of all their model offerings. I would have gone with the KE, but the price jumped up about 50% for what appears to be just higher print speed.
You should do a top printers of 2023 or top printers for beginners video cause I am looking into getting a new one but damn are some of the things more confusing than they were

As soon as I got an Anycubic Vyper I never touched my Ender 3 Pro again. Now that I just got a Bambu Labs X1C 😅😅 Well, I haven't ran my Vyper since. That's mostly because it's slightly disassembled in getting ready for the enclosure Im building for it. And after finally getting into printing nylon inside with the X1C, I realized I really need a new hotend for the Vyper. And I need to get Klipper running on it but gave up making that work as I got the Raspberry Pi and X1C at roughly the same time so all my time spent printing is mostly going towards trying all sorts of different filaments and modeling upgrades and what not.
Honestly this gave me the last push to go for the ender v3. But i opted to pay the premium for the KE version. All the improvements of the SE, but with klipper and an all metal hot end. Also closer to the price point of the bambulab a1 mini. I know it's yet another ender 3 to review. But i would love to know your take on the v3 KE.
My Ender 3 is awesome, I love having a printer I can modify, customize, and upgrade, but I think I'm gonna buy the V3 SE or V3 KE because it'd be nice to have a printer that just works. And when my Ender 3 needs a replacement part, the V3 can print a temporary part to use while I wait for a replacement to be delivered
Yes having an X1C would be nice, but if my Ender 3 breaks I can fix it. I’ve modified it enough to know how to fix it and the parts are easy to get or print. Your reasoning for wanting the V3 is the same as mine. Don’t sleep on the Kingroon KP3S Pro either. I put Klipper on mine and for the price, it prints beautifully.
I'm new to the 3D printing world, but a dinosaur in the manufacturing industry. I like my Ender 3 S1 Pro. I was easy enough to get started with and advanced enough to make some really good prints. I tend to create more functional models, not that artist models don't have their purpose. The S1 Pro seems to produce fairly repeatable results. Some of the print in place moving models are a little tight, but I think that could be tuned out with some testing. The S1 Pro had the biggest bed of an almost fully assembled printer that I could afford at the time. I do wish I'd had the funds for a multicolor model.
I was thinking about getting that bambu mini, but I don`t really need some superb quality for my needs, I don`t need color switching, and the bed is few cm smaller than I need, so I got this ender and im pretty happy with it. Next ones gonna be probably bambu lab, but something bigger...
I’m holding out for the Ender 3 V3 SE Pro2 that includes the filament runout sensor
Ender 3 V4 S1 Pro Max
🤣 these names
I'll hold out until that one launches, just so I can save $7 on this one. Or should I go for the one that's $11 more and has something slightly different, that I can't quite put my finger on?
My first ever; Have one and it's fantastic and run 0,16 is perfect! Have to learn CAD to make my own objects.
It actually does have filament detection capabilities but you have to open up the bottom plate and you have to connect it to the main board, but luckily the tools that they give you are more than capable of doing that!
Where do I buy the filament detector?
Congrats on breaking 1 million subs!
After owning it for just under a month I am extremely impressed compared to their older v2 and V2 NEO which I have both owned. Not had anything go wrong yet but would expect it to be easy when it does. Best printer under £200 for sure
3 weeks into a v3 SE as my first printer. ABL and auto Z worked well at first but now it never hits the mark. I have to manually level the mesh now which takes sometimes over a dozen test prints. The manually gathered values are only useful for a few prints before I have to do another run and adjust again. Really wish I held out another week and just grabbed an A1.
I’m actually getting this for Christmas as my first 3D printer!
