Creality Ender 3 Max 3D Printer, All Metal FDM 3D Printer with Larger Glass Bed Silent Mainboard All Metal Extruder Smart Sensor Dual Cooling Fans
Max workspace
Creality Ender 3 Max offers a large build volume of 300x300x340mm allowing you to expand your creative possibilities. Even though it has the same price with ender 5, With the ender 3 max, you will have more choices because of the max workspace.
Modular hotend
The Ender 3 Max has a newly developed hot-end design and simplifies the exchange of individual components. In addition, the hotend has dual fans that allow better heat dissipation. An integrated copper nozzle enables better heat resistance and faster melting of the materials.
Proven stable structure
Even movements and stable printing are made possible thanks to the proven stable structure with a precise Z-axis leadscrew and V-slot profiles.
Intelligent functions
The Creality Ender 3 Max is equipped with a filament sensor and a resume print function. If the filament accidentally runs out or an unexpected power failure occurs, you can easily and conveniently resume printing. This saves you valuable material and time.
Carborundum Glass Platform
This glass plate is a popular upgrade for a 3D printer because of its very good adhesion and fast heating-up speed. The smooth first layer also increases the aesthetics of your finished models. With the Ender 3 Max, you no longer have to buy this upgrade because the 3D printer already includes it.

what's the length of the y 4040 extruson and x? I'm thinking linear rails

[@velevrx111]

How would I find what my power voltage should be? I am new to 3d printing

[@vvsandgaming4648]

What slicer is good to use with the Ender 3 Max ?

[@AKElectronicsLab]

The Last Problem With spaceship is a Pain in the Ass kind of problem. but i have found what causes it as i was having this issue with so many of my models which i designed. which have one thin in common they have so many vertex. so i first lower the number of them then it worked out but i dont want to compromise the quality and after like a mont of hassel i found the problem. It is the POWER LOSS RECOVERY Function which causes this. if you turn it off then it will work out good.

[@DanPhillips_thefireman]

What a great video! I was gifted an Ender 3 max for Christmas, and this is my first ever 3D printer. This video was absolutely what I needed to get me started. You cover all the bases from adjusting to slicing. Thank you very much Just Vlad for the perfect starter video for the Ender 3 Max!

[@sospion6198]

Are you still using it? Did you have any issues with it?

[@workingTchr]

You couldn't have done a better job. I feel like there's someone holding my hand now as I open that box and venture into unknown territory. Thank you very much.

[@itsbryan421]

FUUU finally!! I've just bought one a few days ago and couldn't find any videos of this exact build. Thanks!!

[@22ndaccountduetocensorship57]

Instructions are verry good. A 3 year old could build it

[@PaulPomerleau]

Excellent video. I just bought this printer and have never 3D printed before. I read all the books but you covered so much more. Thank you ever so much. I tuned my printer and did the calibration cube as you suggested and it worked perfectly for my very first ever print. Thank you again !!!!!

[@bountyhunter4397]

Just bought one, it's also my first 3d printer and your video has definitely helped me understand this thing a lot more

[@yvon8488]

I just bought an Ender 3 Max. This video really helped me. Being new to 3D printing, it was like having an expert seating beside me while I set it up all the way to printing. Thanks. Well done. One little problem that I had and I did not see any mention in the video is that when adjusting the 6 wheels under the printer, even if I loosen all 3 adjustable ones, it was still not a smooth movement. I found that one of the non-adjustable wheel was screwed too tight. After I found this, everything went smoothly.

[@endersx74]

How did you adjust or fix a non adjustable wheel? Just wondering in event have same issue when I get mine 😀

[@dragonconley44]

Creality really did a good job on this printer and I can speak from experience because I bought one myself. Awesome seller as well and that I can speak from experience as well because I purchased one from this company and I definitely recommend buying from this seller. Very easy to put together and it only took me 15 minutes. There is one thing that Creality needs to fix with the Z axis end stop switch. It's mounted with two screws though the frame which Creality changed because people were having a hard time adjusting the z axis. Now that it's solid mounted you can't move it up or down. I have found many ways to fix this problem and if anyone is having this problem let me know and I will gladly help you fix it. Other than that the printer has been awesome and prints just as well as the Ender 3 original.

[@johnwortham6398]

I was completely lost with this printer until I watched your video. Thanks a lot man you made it so easy for me to get started 3d printing cause I was so lost. Thanks a lot

[@nflgun]

Great job on the speedy review! You hit all the mechanical details that I was interested in and you did so with no fluff & nonsense and idle b/s.

[@MamiyaMotors]

Thank you so much for making this video! I watched the video before receiving my new Ender 3 Max and then watched it again while assembling it and followed along. It really helped when you pointed out the tips to look out for like tightening the bolts. Some of mine were pretty loose so I'm glad you advised to check those. I was pretty anxious about setting it up and getting started with 3D printing but you really eased a lot of the stress!

[@cooperjones8412]

I love how in depth this video is and how much you explain! Thank you so much!

[@Redtailedhawk99]

There was a video where one guy actually turned off the power loss recovery in the G code and it stopped making the dimples. He was also able to program the g code in that when he turned on spiral vase mode it turns off the power loss recovery automatically. That might help with the dimpling. Bryan Vines is the guy who shows you how to set it to do so.

[@viktorkvant6340]

Great help for me being a complete newbie on this. Many good heads up that no one else talks about.

[@Anontesla]

Thank you for all your help and the video watched it while I was waiting for delivery and then all morning as it arrived and followed it step by step lol so thank you !!! Tremendous help!!

[@Silverado1st]

Thank you so much for all your time and effort in making this super informative and instructional video! Haven't purchased any yet, still in the research process, but your video on the Max is extremely helpful and covers A-Z of what I wanted to learn about this version. My main interest is printable area, second and third is expense for materials, upgrades and the electric bill. If Ender isn't paying you for your efforts, they should be! Thanks again :-D Happy Printing!

[@jadewheeler8482]

Could you please make a video on how to add the BL Touch bed leveler for the MAX?

[@OscarOliu]

He doesn't ever respond lol

[@teddy5004]

BL touch you litterally just plug it in underneath that main cover he said he didnt want to touch at the beginning of the video, download the firmware to your Sim card, and level your machine... Pretty user friendly if you're familiar with your 3D printer... Just screw it in, plug it in, calibrate and go! Unfortunately you do need to manually calibrate for the first time, but after that you never really do... I bought some silicon springs for mine I'm still waiting for it in the mail but pretty much same results as I've been told.

If I didn't comment already, I love the video. Video is great, describing each step is easy to follow, etc. My Ender 3 Max is coming Thursday 2 days from now.

[@filip8985]

I took a 3d printing class in highschool (10 years ago), i wanted to get my own one but back then they were just sooo expensive, but this one being at that $500 aud price point is perfect, i was also considering getting the Ender 5 Pro but I think the extra size of this will be more useful. Great video, i think this has convinced me to buy this one!

[@taipanino]

very helpful just getting in to 3d printing ordered the max but hasn’t arrived yet so tnx

[@razorblade7108]

Ringing comes from vibrations in the printer caused from harsh movements. It can usually be solved by reducing the acceleration and jerk settings on the printer and printing proper belt tensioners with adjustment knobs to adjust the belt tension precisely. I know they exist for the CR-10 and Tevo Tornado, so they probably exist for the Ender 3 models too.

[@glennhoward5014]

Oh my god you have totally helped me out with this as I was having issues with my ender 3 Max and then I watched your video and it guided me perfectly . Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial.

[@ve2vfd]

Got mine a few days ago, what a beast! It's an upgrade from my old MP Select V2... Love how well it prints with PLA and am currently dialling it in for PETG (prints are not bad but still a bit stringing).

[@scooter0241]

Have u had issues with bed adhesion with petg? I can't get mine to stick

[@ve2vfd]

@@scooter0241 Initially yes I did. Keep the bed at 80C, my petg (esun) first layer at 240, following layers at 235 (you may have to tweak that). Fan off for the first 4 layers, at 15-25% for the rest) and most important clean the glass bed with alcohol and no fingerprints on it.

[@csircy]

I did the exact same upgrade path Pat. I went from a monoprice select v2 to the ender 3-max. I still use my upgraded MP v2 with direct drive upgrade for tpu. Quick note for anyone adding a bltouch 3.1 to the Ender3-Max, the firmware on Creality's website is set to save settings to your sdcard. I was going nuts trying to save my z-offset settings.

[@chraven69]

@JustVlad ty for the review of the ender 3 max, very well presented 👍👍👍

[@billybob4208]

Adjusting the wheels below the lower bed should be done when positioned flat, adjusting it when it is lifted changes everything. Try it out yourselves

[@BLRTUNING]

Thank you for this awesome video. I own a small company here in Vancouver Washington. I manufacturers small motorcycle parts and tune motorcycles for a living. I just ordered two of the ender max 3D printers to add to our collection of tools. Your video helped out tremendously... I Hit the like button, subscribed, Bell icon on.. thanks again..

[@raivainbrown995]

Thank you so much for your video! I bought this printer knowing very little about 3D printers and using your video as reference was a TON less time spent trying to figure it out. I love 3D modeling so adding this printer to my work flow is long overdue.

[@skeletonfunfair]

Dude, that was a DECENT video man! So much information.

[@spoton6584]

Turn off recovery mode and run the space ship again . in vase mode its writing the info to the sd card and since there is no layers in vase mode it cant write the info fast enough to the sd card so it puases to catch up with the write.

[@gavinorr]

Fantastic video. I looked at the instructions that came in the box and decided that I either needed a google search or a very good magnifying glass. Thanks goodness Google led mt to this video. Every step of the setup was covered in detail. I had difficulty getting the print to stick, ended up moving the z-axis stop a little bit higher and after that the adjustment worked a treat (I thought I had bookmarked the video I found on Google for that, but now can't find it). Dog and cat successfully built from the Ender sim card files (although it's a bit strange that you have to move the files from the source folder on the sim card to the "root" directory in order to be able to print them). One additional thing I found was that removing a print from the plain glass bed is easier if, once the build is done, you preheat the bed to a slightly higher temperature than the build temperature (probably don't want to wait too long once it reaches the higher temperature though). Again many many thanks for the video.

[@blueeye3044]

Great video. I just ordered this machine (first ever) so this was a wonderful introduction. Thanks.

[@777Thibs]

I love my Ender 3 (v1). I've been itching to buy a Max, but I just can't bring myself to do it. When I consider the upgrades that I would want, the CR-10 v3 always seems to make more sense at a similar price point (to the Max+upgrades). You absolutely hit on the one thing that I love about this printer, the footprint.

[@everettchretien421]

Setting up new printer and it goes through each step very well . Would like to see a bit more on adjusting; it was a bit confusing process.

[@HusainiUjang]

Thank you! Setup my unit watching this video! Thanks!! Love from Malaysia!

[@driftx2]

You can change the solution to prevent the glitchy print from overloading. I think CNC Kitchen covered this in one of his videos.

[@MisterkeTube]

My wishlist: large cube-design (>= 300mm cubed build volume) with motors outside cube so you can turn it into an enclosure (I guess that means core-XY), separate electronics box (so it can move out of the enclosed volume), direct-drive with dual-grabbing geared extruder and full metal hotend (doesn't have to be too fancy), glass bed (only moving up/down) supported at least at 2 opposing sides (preferably with separate steppers and some auto-alignment) and with AC heating (mostly to avoid PSU problems at higher bed temps). This Ender 3 Max is just a more expensive Ender 3 with a bit more volume, but retaining all the flaws which made my wishlist as mentioned. X gantry only supported at one side, bowden with long/inaccurate retractions, big bed swinging back and forth, requires rework to enclose, still no full-metal hotend, ... Would be good enough for €250, but I see way higher prices...

[@williamaycock579]

Did you also get ringing on larger prints?

[@ChristopherKovacsw0anm]

@@williamaycock579 I'll have to test. I just got the BLtouch from Creality. The instructions were rubbish, they included the wrong bracket , and the instructions were poor which caused more confusion. After finding a bracket to print out and finding better instructions, it's now setup correctly. I'll print out a large print and report back.

[@Nenea2a]

Nice video... of unboxing the printer... Please do another one that no one has done before… and that is... packing the printer. I tell you that because i had to send it back for warranty.

[@kinanhloubi1935]

the printer for the price is a good printer when you calibrate it good, i had the same problem with spiral mood, hopefully when the Marlin 2.0 is out for this it will hopefully fix it. thanks for the full review!

Getting mine on Wednesday!

[@johnm.gerard1718]

I heard on another video that to make sure the "restart on Power Failure" is turned off when printing in Vase mode. In the video he stated that maybe the reason is that the printer prints instructions to the SD card after each layer. At least that is worth a try.

[@moltar512]

Would you suggest the Ender 3 Max over the Ender 3 v2?

[@chainwizardscw]

Or artillery x1??! Plz.some one who guve us some info??

[@nopes1776]

The new prusa slicer is by far better then cura, especially for new people!!

[@warwickwas]

A lot of good comments here, as I'm looking to purchase one myself. Bare with me as I have never had a 3D printer so a lot of this is new language to me. Therefore some points just go far too fast to see what you did. Namely 37:24, where a yellow box suddenly appears. I went over this 5 times, and still can't see what you did. I heard " so now we're gonna bring the model here", and the mouse goes Voom Voom and the yellow box suddenly appears. Sometimes, you just have to slow down a bit...

[@awebuser5914]

Great set-up video! Just trying my first print on the 3-Max... When testing with bed level with the paper, how much resistance should there be to movement when you have it "just right"; should it drag just a little, or require a modest amount of force to more the paper? (obviously not allowing the paper to "bunch-up" when you try to push it!) Also, your Cura settings (only the ones that are different from default) would be helpful to have as a bullet-point list in the video description. Saves having to pause/play the video to make notes! Thanks!

[@henrybreen]

well done bro, really enjoyed this review, helped me out alot.

Going get one before there outlawed. Lol. What you think ender3 v2,pro,max Thanks.

[@jasonhayward6965]

What if the bed could be twisted to print 3 metre lenghs of a h frame. Modified bed to have underneath blocks can electrically shift to break the connective bonds and additional arm to drag the h frame off onto additional side rollers or similar . It would be interesting to see a side printed h frame at various lengths from a manufacturing point of view .

[@moren0d1]

Any reviews planned for the Voxelab Aquila printer? It’s basically an Ender 3V2 for $200. Quality is just as good.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I like the dual cooling fans but dual Z synced lead screws would have been nice as well, I prefer the mono screen and encoder wheel as Creality doesn't seem to be that good at colour GUI's, even when they have a colour palette to choose from they go for 1 colour and 1 hue and have no uniformity in their icons across the printer range. This is a nice printer although buying it from Amazon will see you being scalped for £100 over the price from buying direct Creality and buying at Aliexpress will see you save the price of a roll of filament over the Creality price

[@david78212]

Been watching a few videos, trying to figure what kind of printer I should get. All of them are the same, they freak out about the power supply set to 220w and not 110w, or what the settings are labeled as. It's real simple, these things are shipped all over the world, plugging in a device set to 220 into 110, most likely NOTHING will work, at most a couple lights may come on. Plug a device set to 110w into a 220w outlet? You WILL let out the "magic smoke" that makes it work, and if you don't catch it in time or something nearby is flammable enough, you may lose your house. It's not as big a deal as you all make it out to be considering you have no idea where it's being bought from and you have no clue where it's going. I used to work for a company building computers...every power supply came set at 220w, and imagine the shock when I had to set them to 110w. ***The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world who uses 110w. I know a lot of companies websites that you must specify 110 or 220 when you buy an item, so they can make sure you get the correct item, otherwise, you must send it back because it doesn't have a one or the other setting. I think just flipping a switch is easier.

I bought one of these from Amazon, managed one good print then while doing second print of same thing that just finished the print head stopped then slammed all the way left and just kept trying to drive left. Did the Amazon support link for the printer, lady in fair English said I need to upgrade firmware. The printer was released in Nov 2020. Shi**y help from her all she did was send me a link to a youtube site about FW upgrade for the MAX. I needed to buy a bootloader board from a 3rd party site. Tried Edner support, even worse..
