Man creality has come a long way with build quality. I still own original cr-10 and few newer ones like ender 3 v2 and cr-10pro v2. These printers are starting to look like something you would buy for 2k like 5 years ago.

[@josephosorio5718]

Just got mine. It is great. I first built an Anet A8 years ago and maxed it out with upgrades. I then received an Ultimaker 3 from my work place for designing, printing and saving them over ten grand for a part that is no longer available. As a builder and user I am very impressed with this printer. As always, thanks for your videos. They are inspirational.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

As someone who bought the Ender 3 V3 SE, I am impressed. Anything you sliced before for Ender 3 printers will work. A file for my Biqu B1 that had a 6H30min print time, printed it in under 5 hours. So it reads the code diffrently. Great video. I replaced my sticker bed plate with the B1 spring steel sheet/PEI coated sheet, because it ripped the creality build plate a new one with my second print. Works like a charm. Build quality is much better than my Ender 3 S1's. So overall, the new V3 variants is looking really good.

[@TechWithTrey]

Agreed. I picked an SE up on sale for $120 and it is working amazing. I installed Klipper and that took it even further. Loving it. PS: Ellis’ Tuning Guide is amazing

[@halfkat4742]

Love your videos man. I just started in 3D printing, I got the V3 SE and got hooked. Just finishing the print on my first Ironman helmet. I am eyeballing the K1 MAX for build volume and speed. Thanks

[@OldManJimmy1]

Use Orca slicer on all my printers now too, X1C, Creality CR-10 SE and CR-10 Smart Pro and love how they connect with Mainsail on Orca.

[@justSahm]

1:41 "very little small who am i... VERY TINY LITTLE PRINTER" ah good save

[@konka7267]

at this rate I think frank is going to get every pre order printer before the public does

[@eminstinct4114]

if you think he got his hands on it before the pulic did this video is pretty late we where able to get this printer for a while now

[@BensRightBrain]

And us consumers are safer for it

[@donkeydiehard879]

The "kickstand" is there to help prevent the exact issue you discussed with the filament getting tangled.

[@rburn99]

It's not a kickstand. It's to keep the spool from unwinding.

[@kencroft7933]

You should have read the instructions and you would have discovered what that crazy spool holder this was really for!

[@hunterofdark2]

Great review. Good to know that Creality is doing their best to keep up. Hopefully we get an AMS from them soon

[@user-ru4eo7uz3b]

hope so, they are already too outdated

[@johnnyxvlogs8210]

I love the ending

[@creativeleodaily]

Being a 3D Artist Dinosaur since 2003, who left designing 2years ago, I think I will buy this and start designing again for prints ❤

[@jerrybaldwin2975]

Print times for the various prints you did would have been nice to know.

[@MakoAtamo]

oh man thank you for this video, was looking to get this printer but coudnt find much of anything on it! def look like a good second printer with a small footprint!

[@Starwarsfan8517]

Love the vids. Can i get some tips on getting better prints on my ender 3 3D printer

[@MilesCorpening]

I feel like you should start a big project like you did with your Iron Man suits and swords in my personal opinion you should print a ginormous RC car

[@mythicul]

Amazing idea

[@3dpathfinder]

There already is a top mount for the spool out , i think it comes on the usb drive

[@SnappyDrift]

I love all these new printers basically plug and play I own a x1 carbon but I have to say one thing. It’s definitely not as satisfying pulling off a print off a x1 carbon compared to a ender 3 pro. Something about dialing in an older printer like the 3 pro and getting consecutive good prints is super rewarding for me. I actually find myself using the 3 pro more than my Bambu XD

[@tynabrenner6203]

for the spool holder feed the printer from the top of the spool

[@ProfSimonHolland]

has anyone made a top feed spool holder for this machine?

[@DailyDopamine108]

Wouldn’t the spool issue differ if you flipped the spool the other way so the spool comes from the bottom?

[@omarmartinez9527]

Hello in CURA SLICER wich is the best option in the models list to fit this printer_?

[@Dingle.Donger]

Cool printer. I'd buy one if I hadn't picked up a V2 a year ago.

[@markkyprianou4126]

Create video! I just ordered my Ender-3 V3 for $329, can't wait to get it and was glad to see your review and that it was favorable. I've been playing with slicers and tried Orca per your suggestion and got a strange error that levels have empty layers... Not sure what's going on, the same stl file works fine for other printers on different slicers. Also, the only slicer with support for the V3 is Creality Print, yuck... Is there a way to export a profile from Creality Print for import into another slicer? I assume not, so what profile is closest to the V3? The Ender-3 V3 SE? Ender-3 V3 KE? Others? How long does it take for slicers add support for new printers? thanx

[@yzkn8848]

Its good to see creality going into right direction. But they need to work on naming tho.

[@DarthHyrum]

Frank, What 3D printer should I get for beginner, my price range is $300-$400 I’ve been looking for a while and I had decided on the Neptune 3 plus or max, is that still a good option?

[@XmonstermanX]

What slicer are you using for the ender 3 v3? I didn’t find it supported in orca

[@WickedCustomzFL]

did the tolerance test come with the machine or provided

[@ToxicBulletXNL]

Hey there, I’m looking for an new 3d-printer to replace my original Creality ender 3 v1 that still works well but the technology has come along way since Im looking at k1 max but also the Bambo labs ones which one do multi colored prints but is higher price worth it or you maybe have heard about creality doing something like a k1 max with a AMS If you could i would love to see a video comparing the: Creatily K1 max Bambo labs P1PS Bambo lads X1 Carbon Which one would you recommend love hear from you Thanks!

[@gustavogarcia7442]

I found your video just on time, I´ll get the V3 over the Bambu A1, and BTW you made me laugh! what a way to describe the details, amazing tiny review. Sheers from Colombia.

[@Lance_Tonkin98]

Hi Frank, is it possible for you to share your K1Max orca slicer profile? I'm trying to switch to orca after that video of yours but I struggle to get the same speed to quality ratio on my K1 max on orca vs Creality print

[@therick0996]

Lifting the printhead of a core xz printer stupid fast never gets old. Unfortunately you'll always be limited to the speed of the bed

[@polgadototter]

Love this machine every thing in place and functional ,only problem getting things to stick to the build plate

[@beautifulsunflower9248]

So You had to choose one only one 3D printer which make and model would that be?

[@robertobenites7360]

Whats better Cura or Creality Print 5.0 when using the Creality series printers?

[@anthonypoole4025]

This is a direct competitor to the bambu labs A1. Which does have this beat on price for the non AMS version. However, due to the recall... Creality has a chance to take the market

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

Feels like this is a good A1 competitor. It would be nice to see how the two stand up against each other.

[@mariospanayiotou6644]

I mean, the a1 has a camera, auto flow compensation system so you dont have to calibrate flow rates anymore, noise cancellation on stepper motors good phone app etc this seems to have none of that.

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

​@@mariospanayiotou6644 That's marketing and specs. I want to see results.

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

​@@mariospanayiotou6644At the end of the day, a lot of people--myself included--judge the value of a 3d printer based on the printing results of multiple material types. You may be perfectly happy with all the bells and whistles like a camera and an app, but seeing the actual print quality will be the defining factor for tons of consumers. Not everyone wants an always-on, always-online camera in their workshop, auto flow compensation isn't mature enough to completely replace manual calibration for a lot of materials, and Mobileraker is a fantastic app that isn't proprietary and compatible with any Klipper based machine.

[@9dvds]

I don’t think this will be any better, just a cheap ripoff of the a1

[@dennisraadschelders6821]

A1 has a bigger build plate as well

[@Peanut_gamin]

Are you making a vid about the a1 from Bambi lab I see it In the background

[@findleyjull]

Dude, besides the quality this thing looks sweet.

[@carlosvalera7833]

Hi do you the V3 3D is worth? Has a 360 price range and seems to have nice volume!! Or should I go to A1 mini as Im just starting?? 😅😅

[@goddondo]

I bought this brand model and when I do the test print tower it prints most of it okay but it does strings on the top needles. Any advice?

[@jhaybz29]

You didn't review the K1C but this is like the next best thing! thank you~

[@fsigma-fp1oz]

which is better a1 or v3?

[@RijalMuttaqin]

"what do you do for a living" got me here ... 😄

[@FranklyBuilt]

WHAT! Haha that’s awesome

[@Alex-The-Engineer.]

there are bolt holes that look like you can put a filament spol on it

[@arbjful]

Is it possible to pack the contents of that box at 0:51 into a suitcase ? I am thinking of buying one and bringing it back in my suitcase

[@Jennings3D]

Hey I got a question in selling my Neptune 3 plus for a Bambu p1s combo do you know where a good place is to sell it

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

I need one of those kickstand things to keep my kobra 2 max filament from unwinding as the head comes down! nice printer it seems that they have updated to keep up with the times.

[@kris30us]

For a side mount spool holder, this is a very easy solution. Just remove the mounting bolt, then transfer the spool holder to the top right of the printer.

[@mikasuvanto9895]

Stypid question but how about if you print let's say 4 items and leave it do it night time. First question is ofc, how loud that is on printing and what happen if printing area is full items? How it could be automated to do multiple print's at row without self moving items away from platform?

[@shashanktg08]

I have doubt that in ender 3 pro can i upload g code to micro usb port with otg and sd card reader

[@tamsinp7711]

My concern with the Z-belt system is that over time as belts become worn/stretched it could cause issues with maintaining a consistent and accurate layer height.

[@mr.spongylikeaboss4987]

It has auto tension mechanism for the belts in the back. Ingenious, actually.

[@mohammadansari3937]

Im looking for the ini file configration for prusaslicer

[@DarkAssasain05]

Would you recommend this as a printer for making cosplay props like helmets etc.?

[@timm3802]

Do you know why the resolution is only +-0.2 instead of +-0.1 ??

[@3dprintingwave]

I have been watching you for a while. Can you make a comparison video between Ender 3 V3 and bambulab A1 because they are around same size, same price and would just like to hear your thoughts.

[@ianisgg8604]

Hi Frank you have been my inspiration for about 3 years and now I wanna buy my first 3d printer for helmets props maybe some smaller things idk and I was thinking about the Elegoo neptune 4 plus but now I was this one and idk which one is better could you please tell me or if you know another one in that price range please let me know because I want to buy it this month

[@fantasticnoodl331]

I'd love to see a Review of the V3 SE as well, just to see the difference

[@user-mh9bj6je7e]

Life Always Finds A Way!

[@IgorsPlay]

I live in the EU, and for us, the Ender-3 V3 printer costs €419 right now. The K1 Speedy 3D is priced at €539. So, which one should I get? 😅 There’s also the Bambu Lab A1 mini at €501 (with AMS lite) It’s a hard decision for me, can you help? 😊

[@GaryParris]

i just purchased one, so waiting for that to be delivered.

[@user-ql4mp9ov6m]

great printer！！！

[@23rdreaper]

Can you make a Red Hood helmet with it?

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

wouldn't this be a direct competitor for the Bambu A1 (after the recall fix)? similarly priced, size, features, etc. I bought an A1 on announcement day for my first printer and now waiting for the new heatbed, cant wait to get it back up and running lol

[@EricLab97]

yeah I only have a elegoo neptune 4 plus personally but I think getting a Bambu A1 would be better, $10 more but it has a slightly larger build volume + a far superior slicer. Along with the possibility of adding an AMS lite later on as an upgrade to a multi-material system just seems better IMO. I think just the AMS is a big push for Bambu's printers being a better option, as long as they have a general consumer friendly way to essentially upgrade later on it will be more appealing.

[@mariospanayiotou6644]

I mean the a1 has many more features like auto flow compensation so no more calibrations for flow, camera, option for multicolour etc but most importantly, it’s not creality.

[@dwaynec7542]

That was definitely worth watching until the end. 😆

[@edwardgarcia4138]

How do you remote print with orca slicer?

[@edwardgarcia4138]

Also I just got this over the A1. Was it a mistake?

Just on my 3rd Board awaiting delivery ,Card readers seem to be an issue here,2nd board went into default Chinese and had to be reflashed no alternative languages possible upgraded to Silent board would not initiate SD card ,could not read SD card .(NO TF card).It would detect insertion but that's it..The assembly issues included an Incorrectly assembled X Axis Bracket,on the limit switch side,the wide side inferring with the carriage travel ,So be careful.the narrow end of this bracket needs to be adjacent to the limit switch.....After 3 months I still have yet to print anything.

[@kia3281]

what printer would you recommend for small miniatures for like board games and stuff. Im only concerned with quality. Literally anything else doesnt matter just print quality on such a small scale

[@1leo2008]

Go for a resin printer like the Elegoo Mars 4 DLP

[@mariospanayiotou6644]

Elegoo has some popular big printers i think

[@mariospanayiotou6644]

Also anycubic

[@3dpathfinder]

That is not to hold up the spool its to keep the spool from unwinding to much and the hotend is moving around

[@mariospanayiotou6644]

Frank said “its double the price for anything from bambu” like the a1 doesnt exist and has 5x the features of this one. It needs to be a lot cheaper to be worth over the a1

[@Jesus166]

My only issue with my k1 is that printing transparent petg filament is that it's too stringy when it comes out

[@radish6691]

That’s not a printer problem, that’s a settings problem.

[@Jesus166]

@@radish6691 I know it only seems to happen with the transparent one, the black petg or white petg printed out fine

[@radish6691]

@@Jesus166 It could be the filament then. I bought 2 rolls of Bambu Lab PETG when it first came out and both rolls (different colors) were utter garbage. It looked like the worst underextrusion ever, I couldn’t even get a calibration print out of them. I dried the filament for days, cleaned the nozzle, followed instructions from tech support, eventually had to toss the rolls. I print a fair amount with PETG and almost always use Hatchbox PETG, never had any trouble with any of their colors, including transparent. I always use Orca Slicer to calibrate flow rate and pressure advance when I get a new color too. I edited my earlier comment. When I re-read it I cringed because it sounded very harsh or accusatory which was not what I intended. Sometimes I type as if I’m talking in person to someone who knows me and that doesn’t always work when writing to a stranger. I apologize for the tone of that comment.
