- 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
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
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.
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?
Excelent video! Thank you and congratulations! The information and editing are impeccable
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.
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.
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.
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 TH-cam makers I trust anymore.
Your succinct review is just what I needed to know about the Ender-3 V3 SE. Thanks!
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.
Great video, thanks for the details.
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.
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.
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
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.
Always happy to watch Angus ❤❤❤
Concise and informative.
‘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.
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!
Another great video....lots of very useful ingo!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kudos on the video!
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 😊
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.
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.
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
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 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 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.
Happy to hear others are having a positive journey with the Ender-3 V3 SE.
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
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.
@@TH-camstopsharingmyrealname interesting, mine came with the Z-Offset a tad too low :D
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
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.
Thanks for the work. 👍✌🖖🥃
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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 ^^.
I like that everything is in the base. And cable management it's a lot nicer.
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
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
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 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.
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
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
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.
Congrats on breaking 1 million subs!
I’ve had an original Ender three for years now without a single problem. No upgrades. I have other printers now but I still use the Ender three when I’m making prints with multiple parts. It was my first printer and I still love it.
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
I’m actually getting this for Christmas as my first 3D printer!
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.
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.
any luck updating the printer profile for the prusa slicer?
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.
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
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.
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
Thank you very much, Angus... Your profile saved my prints from the stringing plague...
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
It would be great if you could review the KE, it looks really good, but we need to know more about
My first ever; Have one and it's fantastic and run 0,16 is perfect! Have to learn CAD to make my own objects.
Agreed! My V3 SE has been a game-changer as a first 3D printer. Once you find the right slicer, it's a smooth ride. Excited to explore more projects with this reliable machine!
What slicer did you end up settling with?
@@MakersMuse bro got left on read 😭
Haha, was testing, pretty sure it's one of the recent bot comments
For the £180 I paid for my V3 SE, i can't complain about it at all. I've had no issues at all with it so far. Replaced the part cooling fan with two 5010 blowers but other than that it's stock. I never used Creality Print with it though. Mostly Cura with 30mm/s jerk and 2500mm/s acceleration. No regrets at all buying that printer, and I haven't used my Sovol SV06 much since I got it, since i have a lot more issues with that, particularly the mesh levelling. Almost always catches parts if i don't keep z-hop enabled on that printer, and that slows things down a lot, not to mention stringing.
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!
Creality does need to cull herd, their run out sensor is so simple it should be on every machine. Nice to see entry level getting some love 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
I have 2 of this printer very happy with it
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
I just received a KE yesterday and wow, this thing rocks. It prints filament that other printers fail on. Process: Grab printer, spend 5 minutes putting it together, power it up, connect it to my WiFi (easy), grab my usual print and the worst filament I have (Stronghero Galaxy Chameleon), load their slicer, slice it as usual with no support. After a single failed print (my fault), it just crushed the first print in 10 hours.
What were the changes you made? I do get some stringing, but it's not terrible (compared to the nightmare of stringing that my Prusa has) and I'd love to get rid of stringing where I can.
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.
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?
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.
Thanks for this video Angus. Does the Creality slicer work on Macs?
The first time I ever printed on my Ender 3 the part stuck to the bed so well that part of it's still there 6 months later. The purple washable glue sticks are a must-have. I'm sure there are others that work well too, but these are guaranteed to work... so I recommend trying these first and then buy other products to try in between when you're not printing anything important.
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.
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.
silent steppers aside from travel, loudest part is the fan, color portrait screen, full-size sd card, no level knobs, nozzle force sensor, belted dual-z-axis... it's quite reminiscent of the CR-6 SE which I am sad they stopped selling.
Nice to see this has a lower price, direct-drive extrusion, and linear rails, though I would miss the customizable touchscreen, actual dual-z motors, and filament runout sensor (which has saved my ass a few times!)
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
My quick review as someone who bought it. (he was pretty spot on)
1. the bed it comes with is eh, I replaced it with a glass bed after a week because prints were sticking too well
2. the assemble was amazing
3. The auto z-offset doesnt work for me. its a little too close or too far and I end up adjusting it anyways
4. probably the best beginer printer
5. consistent
6. careful with the SD card, mine doesn't go in all the way now and stops mid print at times.
Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about purchasing one soon. Did you encounter any nozzle clogging? And can it print PETG?
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
Up
Linear rods and two z-axis screws alone is a huge upgrade over the wonky rollers and sagging gantry.
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 😊
OG Ender-3 manual -> All of mine had paper manual included. Takes me about 30minutes or less to assemble one ... then again, i've assembled quite a few of them
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.
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.
I have this as my first 3d printer! it's great
Really enjoyed the review. My only gripe is it seems weird to compare the v3 to the original ender 3 instead of the V2 which is more in line of what this replaces in my eyes.
