Bought one in November with no experience what so ever. Set up took 10m. Had to make a minor z axis adjustment after auto level and have since been printing pla and pla+ with no trouble at all, very minimal adjustments in the slicer. I’ve started printing TPU FPV parts successfully as well. Great machine straight out of the box.

I've been printing several tabletop RPG minis with this printer, and after a 800 to 1200 grit sanding, it's just as good and detailed as 20€ minis you buy in usual shops, except it takes around 70cm of PLA filament. I let you do the math. This is my first 3D printer and i'm absolutely a fan of it.

The editing quality is insane ... Good job dude! I didn't think about getting a new printer but you made me want to get one just by looking at this 💯

This is the best video I could have asked for. I’m literally in the same boat with only having an ender 3 pro and just want to upgrade. Thank you so much for this keep it up man!

Fantastic video! Very solid for you first professional unboxing attempt! Also it's incredible what you get for just 220 bucks.

thank you for the quick and concise review. mine just arrived and is still in the box

I got mine a couple of days ago and I've already printed 4 things on it and I'm very impressed with the quality and speed. I also have the Ender 3 Pro. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it as I don't know how much I'll end up using it. Setting the Z offset was a pain and if the bed was slightly warped, it couldn't account for it. I did a fair amount of upgrades to it and was able to get successful prints but the quality was subpar.

The video is superb, helpful, and on point

just bought it for 160 usd and im amazed!

I’m struggling to decide if I should upgrade from my Ender 3 pro, or just add a level probe to my printer. When I get it level, my prints turn out great and overall I don’t have many issues. But faster print times is so tempting, along with the other upgrades. Did you really notice a big improvement between prints and time taken? Enough to warrant an upgrade?

Go with the Anycubic Kobra Max, you won't be disappointed as I was with my Ender=3 SE.

I'm boxing mine up and sending it back to Amazon. I got 5 prints out of it and then it became a useless paperweight. Mechanically it works but it fails to print anything now. The printer head remains stationary during the print job and what would be a 10-hour job, the display says it's completed after only a couple of minutes, and nothing extruded on the bed. Meanwhile, My AnyCubic Kobra Max is working like a champ with no issues.

...Auto bed levelling...it does everything completely by itsself... Right! Provided you don't get a print bed which is warped in all directions by up to 4mm like mine! And as a complete beginner, I did not notice that of course. The first couple of small parts printed fine. The first print with a bigger area ended in a complete catastrophy! I needed to get a new printbed and a new hot end! (warranty) My advise to beginners: After assembly check your print bed by roughly by measuring the distance from the z-axis bridge down to the print bed before you start anything. If the difference is more than 1mm. adjust your print bed manually first.

thank you, going to buy one

I just picked this printer up about 2.5wks ago. This is my 1st 3D printer. It was easy to get together & start printing. The speed & print quality was amazing. But here we are at about 12-15hrs of printing & already have a failure, "Nozzle Temp Too Low". So I searched..... And searched.... Aaaaaand searched for a replacement thermistor since it's the easiest approach to start troubleshooting this issue, while I wait for Creality to get back to me, and I can't believe I can't find anything for the Ender-3 v3 SE. Plenty of thermistors for every other model they make but not this one, not even at their site (which blows when searching for parts). And as an electrical engineer of 23+ yrs, this seems to be a serious design issue after doing research and finding how often these thermistor issues occurs. I use thermistors in designs at work to monitor high temperatures on various electronics, LED backlights & other components. In soo many years, I have rarely ever seen a thermistor failure. So today I took the thermistor out & noticed that the thermal compound used was crumbling, like old stale compound. I cleaned it out & put quality thermal grease compound & reassembled. Going to test it out tomorrow & see if that was the issue. Hoping this was the issue, if not, I continue to wait for Creality to respond.

Hi, I am thinking about buying this printer, but I heve read some terrible things about the Z woble and the bed leveling, where people are returing this printer. I need an honest opinion from someone with several months with this printer. What do you think about the SE ?

After your review , if it wasnt holiday i would go to the store this instance ! :o

Can you talk about the retraction clicks?

Go for Bambulab

Got one 1,5 weeks ago. Complete novice. Set up was easy and I was printing in less than 30 minutes. First prints were quite nice too. No regrets, certainly not for that money. Two small complaints: the updating process is kind of messed up. I can't seem to update the printer itself, it just does nothing when I insert the SD card and I yet have to find a micro SD that I can use for the screen. The smallest I have is 128 GB and that cannot be formatted in FAT32, at least it fails on my PC every time. It's also beyond me why you would have to update those two seperately. The other is that I don't get why the bed has to heat up to 65 degrees for the auto levelling. I did that after 5 prints and changing the spool (just to be sure) and on the following print got complete spaghetti, making an utter mess with the nozzle slam-dunking into the PLA. I initially panicked, thinking I broke the printer within a couple of days. Took me a while to figure out that had to do with the bed being too warm after the auto levelling. If the 65 degrees are really required for the auto level, why the printer doesn't wait until it's cooled back down to the 50-55 it needs for the PLA print to adhere to the bed?

Hello Thank you for the review. I have an Ender3 S1 printer that I bought about 10 months ago. Does this make sense to sell my printer and buy Ender3 V3 SE? If it were you, would you change it? Because I'll probably lose some money. The only question I have about this printer is whether automatic alignment will cause problems over time. Because while intervention is possible in a manually adjusted printer, this does not seem possible in Ender3 V3.

I'm so curious about the z-offset sensor. The paper test works fine on my E3V2... But I hate doing it (and have to do it often) Will be nice to auto level and auto z-offset my new V3 (which comes tomorrow) I assume it's too new to play with custom firmwares (Jyers or MriscoC)... Thanks for the quick, concise video.

Ender 3 v3 ke review

Did you try to print ASA ?

In the video you said you already used it for 50 hours but I guess by now you have used it much more so; is your verdict still the same? Or has anything changed during the past months? I'm currently looking to get my very first 3D printer and I'm mostly looking forward to print stuff and make models so thinkering with the machine is not really what I'm into. I'll already have enough to learn Software and setting wise 😅😂 So I laid my eyes on this printer and i heard a bunch a positive reviews but also negative and some who said that it was fine at first and then they got problems so thats why I'm asking this question 🙈 Also very nice video 👍 well done

Do you have a recommended slicer software for this printer?

Hello , I'm going to start in 3D. Which of these two printers would you recommend, the ender3 S1Pro or the v3 SE or the kE?Best wishes and thank you

In my opinion, there are only three machines from the Ender 3 line that are actually good: basic Ender 3, V3 SE and V3 KE.

Zahlt sich der vr ke aus? Ich glaube der Unterschied ist nur das bessere hotend , oder?

I am getting nice print but th ebed is maing a clicking or creaking noise when it moves, is that normal? i have a few quality issues on a couple of prints but for the most part it prints nice but i can still return it for anohter week, not sure if I should exchange i t for a new one or not

Is the print quality better than an ender 3 S1 Pro ?

Mine broke after 4 prints. Print plate kept loosing heat during the print.

DO NOT BUY! This is a a total POS. "Beginner" my ass. I have had NOTHING but problems with it from janky firmware updates to their horrible slicer program to everything else. Lots of folks out on the internet with the same issues as me such as not reading GCODE written by their own damn slicer. I've got a day and a half of my life wasted on this POS and I can't wait to return it.

keep in mind this is a slow printer with today's standards
