How to USE the Ender-3 V3 KE || Unboxing and first impressions

This video is a very introductive walkthrough of the unboxing and setup of the Ender-3 V3 KE from Creality, this printer boast amazingly fast speeds even though it looks and feels a lot like the older Ender-3s. We also go through how to use the Nebula Camera and how to slice your first print for this machine.

I forgot to link the Dragon STL used in this video, you can find it here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6428358

I got myself one of these, still working out the kinks. 1st when unboxing just check the following before you plug it in and start calibrating. 1. Double check the red voltage switch in the rear is on the correct setting, mine was set to 220, which caused to it continuously reboot during calibration. (easy fix) 2. The Y axis tensioner (rear hex key under the plate) was a little loose, it comes with the wrenches to tighten it. 3. The X axis tensioner (right side on the carriage arm) was very loose causing errors during calibration. The provided hex keys resolve this as well. 4. The Z axis (up and down) I found the higher my print went, the more the nozzle would hit the print making a thumping sound and eventually offsetting the print. Just adjust the Z axis up by .05mm and that seems to do the trick. 5. Before feeding the filament, cut the tip at a 45 degree angle. I also would highly recommend ordering a few extra nozzles to keep on hand as well as silicon boots and a cleaning kit. I found TinkerCad is super easy to work with on 3D modeling and it's FREE.

great video, well presented, very smartly done

[@cletusberkeley9441]

Have mine 5 days now, love it, excellent Ferrari fast printer at a great price.❤😂

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Enjoy it!

[@user-dk5jj8rm2z]

Very insightful video!

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@velvixrblx]

I just bought one, thanks for telling me some info!

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Glad I could help!

[@velvixrblx]

@@3DPrintingStorecoza I’m subbing!

[@16FEET]

So far I am very happy with my machine . Done large and small prints fast and slow . Had bed adhesion issues but resolved.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I'm glad to hear that it has been going well, adhesion can be tricky depending on the material you use and a bunch of other factors, I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve it.

[@ucogr3642]

hey im planning on ordering one any advices?

[@918swimbikerun]

Where can I find the design for the crystal dragon? Awesome video! Thank you.

[@davidnoah9254]

Just bought one of these! What is the filament colour you used on the dragon? Great tutorial as well.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I'm glad you liked the video! The filament colour is "Rainbow Kingfisher", it is one of our own CRON filaments

[@user-hp6xk7dg3b]

It's a very helpful video. Could you tell me what weaknesses of this printer you have found during the period of exploitation? What would you recommend to improve compared to the stock configuration?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I would highly recommend getting the vibration compensation sensor which I mentioned in the video along with the printer, at higher speeds, this printer does unfortunately show ghosting and ringing a bit. But with the compensation sensor, you should be able to completely or mostly get rid of all the ghosting and ringing.

[@user-hp6xk7dg3b]

@@3DPrintingStorecoza Ok. Thank you. I have bought this printer and been waiting for it to arrive. Your review helped me to choose it. Keep up the content!

[@FrancoisFrank]

Hi, just have one but important (for me) question: can this ke print wood filaments? I prefer this one than the S1 pro but the latter can print wood.

[@grantwatson1148]

does it really print faster than other printers? I have a Ender3 v2 not the fastest printer and have you printed TPU?

[@rq3425]

Are you able to use the "pause at height" or "filament change" in Cura? It doesn't seem to recognize the commands. Does Creality Print have such features?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Hi there! Yes, you are able to use both the pause at hight and filament change features in Cura on the KE. You can just create a custom profile for the KE using the SE as your base, then copy and paste the beginning and end G-Code from Creality Print to that profile in Cura to make sure that everything else works as well.

[@ariel_andres]

Excuse my ignorance. How do you print the dragon with those colors?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Its all good, It is a multi coloured filament roll, so throughout the spool of filament, it has a gradient of different colours.

[@BlackDeath1973]

Wait. Did you not use an adhesive on the plate?

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

Because the build plate was brand new, no adhesive was needed, but otherwise, I would use standard hairspray just to give it a light coat before heating the bed. For PLA and PETG, that usually is more than enough to keep the print on the bed, in addition to the correct bed temperature of course.

[@Kiwi864]

So I found this file and I was wondering how to setup

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

We offer technical support as well, you can send us an email to [e-mail] so one of our technicians can help you with getting that file ready for printing

[@geoffvanwagner655]

linking the dragon would have been clutch.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I completely forgot to do so, here is the link to the download on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6428358

[@edwardkukla6298]

I bought this one not overall impressed the hot end is way too wobble.

[@3DPrintingStorecoza]

I have realised this as well, the CR-10 SE seems to be a lot more sturdy, will be testing that out soon as well. But the overall printing quality doesn't seem to be affected too much even though the hot end isn't the most stable.

[@badhabit6140]

An easy fix is to move the filament roll to a standalone stand next to it. Fixed most if not all the wobble
