Creality Ender 3 V3 SE 3D Printer 250mm/s CR Touch Auto Leveling FDM 3D Printers with Sprite Direct Extruder, Dual Z-axis & Y-axis Auto-Load Filament, Upgraded Ender 3, Print Size 8.66x8.66x9.84 inch

I’ve been very impressed with this 3D printer so far. The setup was straightforward thanks to the partially pre-assembled design, and it didn’t take long to get everything ready for the first print. The instructions were clear enough to follow, making it a good option even if you’re relatively new to 3D printing. The printing speed is noticeably quick while still maintaining solid print quality. The auto levelling feature works well and removes a lot of the usual trial and error, which makes the whole process much less frustrating. Once it’s calibrated, prints come out consistently with good detail and clean layers. The direct drive extruder feeds filament smoothly and handles common materials like PLA and PETG without any issues. The dual Z-axis design also helps keep prints stable, especially on taller models, which improves overall accuracy. Overall, this printer offers a good balance of performance, reliability and ease of use. It feels well built and capable, making it a great choice for hobbyists or anyone looking to get into 3D printing without unnecessary complications.

Really pleased with this 3d printer, no quibbles whatsoever.

Terrible experience.. and this is buying direct from the manufacturer. If you are not experienced with 3d printers and you get one of these faulty ones, its going to ruin your whole experience. On mine 1. The print bed was lose... the linear bearing were slack, so much backlash on the bed. It's not the rail. It's not the bearings, its the plastic housing the bearing are slid into are the wrong size...? It took ages for them to send me a replacement, land the replacements are still faulty.. therefore I had to make my own modifications. 2. The new and improved direct drive print head was faulty.. they would not accept it was faulty.. i recorded a video of it coming apart, all the screws were so lose they fell out on printing.. If I could send it back I would, but all they want to do is delay you with emails, and posting things by sea mail. They need to sort this out.. this is supposed to be a 3rd or so generation problem, that has been designed specifically to make it easy to new comers, yet what they have done is dumped a poorly assemble nightmare on the uninitiated.. After spending many hours of stripping modding and rebuilding it now prints well, but this is not to be expected from customers?

After nearly four years of almost continuous use my Ender 3v2 died. Looking around and talking to friends I found this Ender 3v3 se. I have always been a bit dubious about printers that self level. Not really sure that could do the job properly. Reading online I see that reviews have always been fairly mixed. My experience with this printer though is 100% perfect. It took about 15 minutes to get the machine from its box, set up and printing. The cat in the photos was produced in just over an hour. Amazing quality, speed and ease and use. Absolutely love it! If you are looking for a new 3d filament print you cannot go wrong with this model.

Easy enough to get setup and running. Arrived in working condition. A little disappointed that I got white filament even though I ordered it with blue. Get's the job done!

My Ender 3 packed up after 6 years. The V3 was an obvious replacement.20 minutes to assembly. Auto level worked perfectly. Installed a programme using my soft ware, and printed first time perfectly. Much quieter even without dampers. An improvement on a printer that was already very good.

So far, after 2 weeks, the machine has been faultless. I had the ender 3 Neo which kept failing in different way, but this machine has no resemblance. Being a newbie to 3d printing and being of an age that learning new things do not come easily this V3 SE is great. It takes care of everything from filament feed to bed levelling. so far all I have had to do is switch it on select the file I want to print and the machine has done the rest. I have printed around 30 files the longest being a 6.5hr print with no issues. If it continues to perform this well I will be delighted. I nearly gave up 3D with the NEO but now glad I didn't.

When it works, it works well but unfortunately that's only 50% of the time which is frustrating. The Vase turned out really well as did the Boat and TomTom/Quad lock adapter. However some of the other models I tried were less successful. Some didn't adhere to the surface bed properly ( see Guitar pick holder where one end is raised,) sometimes the filament doesn't adhere to itself properly (see RC Holder inside) and sometimes it just fails to complete the model properly (see record holder and guitar shaped pick case) The Eiffel Tower was a disaster from start to finish. I even bough a filament drier as it's supposed to give better finishes to the models. the bed was levelled each time and nozzle up to temperature but sometimes in the middle of a model you just get filament spaghetti. very frustrating. Easy to use and set up but annoyingly inconsistent. UPDATE, returned it and purchased the K1 instead

What can one say? The filament goes oh-so smoothly through the bowden, and the tubing, itself, isn't prone to sharp bends. It's easy to cut to size and I've had no problems using it for my prints.

This is genuine Capricorn tubing, and not the cheaper PTFE tubing that usually comes with printers. These have tighter tolerances, and I recommend them over generic PTFE tubing - especially if you plan to print TPU and do not have a direct drive system since the tighter tolerances help reduce how much the TPU compresses in the tubing. Printing TPU at 40mm/s worked great with these. Also, if you plan to print using filament that requires higher temperatures, I definitely recommend this tubing. It will last longer for all uses including 200 C PLA, but it is especially helpful when used for higher temperatures over 250 C. And the price ($11.49 at the time of this review) is competitive for genuine Capricorn tubing.

I have been enjoying using Capricorn tubing for my 3D printers. So far no issues, just make sure to cut the end going into your hot end so that it is completely flush (I've seen some where it was, and others where it had a slight angle). I am taking a star off because my initial delivery was a set of nozzles labeled as Capricorn tubing. Return and replacement went fine, but it added time to the delivery and shouldn't have happened. Overall, still highly recommend, but make sure to check your package when it arrives.

I'm overhauling a 3D printer (I usually run them stock until they need work, then replace the extruder, hot end, and tubing all at once) and got this for the job. Great to have extra on hand as spares, too.

This is a simple and cheap upgrade to your 3D printer to reduce the amount of snagging or snapping of filament, especially if you're using higher temp filament. I'm using this to replace the stock tubing on my Ender 3 Pro and have had zero issues so far.
