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.

Worked great for a couple of months. Now useless. Doesn’t print properly. Bed gets stuck and grinds on the gears. Awful product

This has been a great 3d printer for me as a beginner. Was easy to set up and start printing. I am yet to design my own prints as have been happy with buying designs so far. Totally recommend for those not tech savvy like myself.

Very good printer just remember to check the screws are still tight on upright on the sides after a lot of printing because thay do come loos after time

This would be a 5 star review if it wasn't for a couple a issues. 1st is that if you tighten the screws too much attaching the screen to the printer, the threads on the printer will come out and the screen will not attach. The sd card reader supplied didn't work and I had to buy another 1. Apart from that great printer.

Right I’ve owned a creality ender 3 pro for 5 years!! I have spent sooooooo much time and money trying to get the perfect print! I’ve bought auto levelling sensors and I gave up!! If you are going to spend your money on a first printer BUY THIS ONE!!! It truly is plug in a play!! Not having to fiddle with anything to level the bed etc is like oh my god!!!! It’s the best £209 I’ve ever spent!! I love 3D printing!! 3D printing truly has come along way in 5 years!! I’m soo excited about designing again and getting it printed. I’m a very very happy buyer!! If this is your first printer you won’t be disappointed!! Take your time to learn how to use the software, play about with it and you will find your groove!! Brilliant!!!

I'm new to 3D printing, so bought a highly regarded printer to make the introduction easy. The quick start guide gets the printer put together, a basic setup operation, and printing of a provided, very forgiving model. When I tried to print other models, it was fail after fail. The instructions were totally inadequate and I learned much from online videos, of which there are plenty. My printing did improve significantly and once I chose a good brand of PLA, the printing was reliable. However, just over 3 months on and the hot end / print nozzle has failed. Creality support had me dismantle the machine over a period of days, to photograph various components. Now they say that the component has failed, but only carried a 3 month warranty and want me to buy another hot end. Needless to say I won't be doing. Indeed I've replaced this with another make.

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.

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.
