You are saying that because you have never tried this printer, this printer is piece of "something". I don't understand why so many good reviews about it when all of them know this thing is just wasting of money. KE is amazing printer, it's better option then this for way less money. This new V3 can't do good first layer, cooling fan is not good enough for harder prints, it's hard to load filament in it, you can't adjust zoffset manually until prints starts, you can't see auto leveling results at all to see how uneven your bed is....

CREALITY NEEDED BAMBU LAB (to start making decent 3d printers).

I feel like everyone has started making better printers after bambulab came in and shook the market like they did

[@dankcincy]

Completely changed the direction the entire market was going, its not just Creality. Everyone is stepping their game up now which we will all benefit from. What's going to be fun to watch is all the Bambu fan boys getting butt hurt when other companies start making better machines that are actually open source as they should be and not the stupid closed off walled garden proprietary ecosystem bs that Bambu has been getting away with.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@@dankcincy What you don't seem to have noticed is that they've been becoming more open source lately, and while I'm definitely not in favor of donut walling modifications to things ((coughcrapple)), it's not like their printers need masses of upgrades to work optimally either (also the first part of what you said was said immediately before you said it)

[@dankcincy]

@@TS_Mind_Swept You're right, I haven't noticed. As soon as I saw it was a closed ecosystem, I never gave them a second look. I'll never buy anything in this space that's not opened up. Closed ecosystems go against everything 3D printing is about.

[@wforider4786]

Thanks for another quality video appreciate your input

[@stew675]

Overhang at 30 degrees is likely related to the overhang print speed for that angle being too high. At 20 degrees it's probably hit the next speed category and slowed down further, same with 15.

[@Liberty4Ever]

PrusaSlicer has Dynamic Overhang Speed settings so the speed can be varied for 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% overhangs.

[@stew675]

@@Liberty4Ever Yes, exactly that sort of thing. I've never used CrealityPrint, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't doing something similar, and for whatever overhang range speed "bucket" setting that the 30° overhang fell into, it's likely the settings for that bracket group needs to be tweaked better.

[@Tristaniscool]

What setting are you using? I just found this setting in creality print. I'm betting thats why I'm having issues with overhangs...

Great review and overview of this printer. I used to have the Ender 3 S1 and it was my "Workhorse" printer. This one looks to be similar, but with some significant differences too. Like you, I wish it had the ability to "MOD" some things, like I would like to see a light bar option, even if it were just the screw holes to add that feature by purchasing a light bar from the 3S1 or a similar sized model. What app did you use for sound testing? That one looked feature-rich and even if there was a fee it seemed like a good app to have.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Decibel X I like it, I paid for the pro version

[@eggbag4182]

This is very interesting. Creality should make a cheap AMS to really compete with the A1

[@bio.s2903]

for the 20 degree overhangs it might be that the layers were a little more than 0.2mm apart making it seem better since the droop would be more consistent then if the premineter was barely touching the previous perimeter like on the 30 degree overhang but that just my theory

[@pecawiener]

What are the experiences after two months of use with the first layer at normal (CrealityPrint) recommended speeds? Simple question - simple answer if possible. Thank you.

[@deucedeuce1572]

I've been waiting for a round 3d printer (round track) with a hotend that can tilt, so just about every surface can be a top surface and can be ironed (except the bottom surface, but that don't need to be ironed). You could also print perfect circles with it and make parts with no layer lines. I think it would greatly increase maneuverability and printability without having to add more axes (axis plural) and more motors. I think an excellent design could be done with 3 motors/axis. Could do X-Y and rotation with 2 motors and the tilt would be a 3rd, even though a 90 degree tilting motor would not normally be the same kind of motor. Also, the bed wouldn't have to move, so the footprint of the machine could be smaller than some others too.

[@KilianGosewisch]

good friend of mine was getting no bed adhesion at all. turns out the paper tissues (flue season) he got as a gift from the pharmacy contained camomile oil. lol

[@huseyinbogazkaya9926]

They made a really nice printer that is a total over kill finally. Only thing you mentioned is the fine tuning the heatsink hotend fan needs a thermostat and to tune the fan accordingly. Longer life spam for the fan and reduced noise. I want them to male a 2pro update ı really want a compact printer. With an over kill spec. £359 for xz its expensive ı would really love the see a 2prov3 all of the weight saving and cable management for £250 would be a sweet spot. Im looking fir bew printer and flashforge m5 for £299 is sweeter than the xz right now

Are you sure you can't adjust the flow Nathan? It doesn't have the expert mode that Creality just pushed out on the K1 series. My k1 got an update a few weeks ago that now permits us to adjust the speed, flow, z height, and nozzle PID calibration. Mine is rooted so it had it before but it was nice that Creality added it to the stock software.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

That's great, I am using the stock firmware that it shipped with, I think it should be getting the new firmware soon

[@pargoff]

If you had to choose between the Ender 3 V3 and K1 at the same price, which would you choose?

[@Guy_Sandler]

can we get a v3 vs ke (vs a1 maybe)?

[@squirralien1863]

I was too impatient and brought the KE thinking it would be great anyway, well it is but mine took a bit to get to print, it was 2mm out from opposing corners, I levelled the X axis and now it is 1mm front to back out and does print very well, I would be much happier if it was more level but in my stubbornness I brought it as an out of the box good print printer so I refuse to mod it,,, for now anyway. I will end up with the V3 after it is available in Au, it looks much better and I believe it will be in most ways. I still have the S1 pro, I have found it to be so reliable and consistent. The K1 max has also been great, consistent & reliable

I miss the link and name of the print surface Glue! Please add the link.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

[@Duckferd]

A bit bummed by the proprietary castings etc reducing modability compared to regular Ender 3s, but the fact that it's a core XZ is interesting- taking a page out of the Voron Switchwire/Enderwire mod notebook? With vanilla Klipper this actually looks like a pretty good package.

[@davidsolomon9087]

why? why are they sticking to the 220x220 bedsize? breakout and up the standard, 275x275 would be a good intermediate size and make it worth upgrading to a new machine for some of us.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Looks like you're wanting to see the Plus model..... Just stay tuned ;) I think creality should step up to 230x230. Their standard plate is already 235x235, they are only using the center 220x220 portion. But when you get that far out onto the edges you end up with pretty uneven heating.

[@archivedcafeteria]

Any idea if there will be one, this looks like a brilliant printer, just wish it was ~300mm^3 Any recommendations? So many printers nowadays it's hard to choose

[@DiThi]

I'm surprised that Voron was not mentioned once. I think that for both of these printers they borrowed a lot of design decisions from Voron. Also the switchwire was kind of designed to be able to convert an existing bed slinger instead of making it from scratch. A nice side effect of it being core XZ is that Z hopping is very fast and it can prevent stringing and oozing by not taking too long to lift. During the spike test it is not hopping though.

[@Pugwash.]

Also worth noting they have put the spool holder in the correct place this time.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Under the printer?

[@Liberty4Ever]

The *CORRECT* location for the spool holder is mounted to the wall above the printer... and NO reverse Bowden tube. 😛

[@GucciBodyBags]

Agree. If a spool holder is gonna be attached to the machine, keep it off the gantry.

[@kshepherd2005]

It would be nice if the spool holder rotated for valuable farm space

[@Pugwash.]

On my ender 3 I made my own holders. The one that hung out to the left was actually more popular than the one that faces backwards, but both from the base.@@kshepherd2005

[@jason.miles31]

What prevents the gantry from falling down to the bed when the steppers are unpowered? Is it just the stepper detent torque and belt friction?

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I think so. The toolhead is very light, which helps, then they have some springs on the Z axis linear rods that would absorb some of the energy if it were to come falling down somehow.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Kind of like landing gear

[@sandymclea]

That top rail running on a bushing .. and with a spring. Much like a inkjet printer. I have a large format inkjet, and it's important to keep a rail, that has a bushing running on it, clean and ever so slightly lubricated. Having it exposed like tbis may attract dust, and that bushing will bit be happy.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Interesting, I think precision on inkjets is more important than in 3D printing, so adopting a similar setup is a good idea

[@bethanieknapp1467]

I think in your print you need to reduce nozzle temp a little bit so the bridge is better and the stringing doesn't happen. great video overall.

[@rondlh20]

12:15 How come the bed belt is not parallel to the movement!? Isn't that causing issues?

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

The drive side of the belt is straight and parallel to the Y axis (side that is attached to the bed). The return side of the belt is off-angle, but this doesnt matter. It could take an S-shaped return path. Some belts have idler tensioners that bend the belt back and forth on its way back to the drive pulley, but it doesn't actually make a difference.

E3V3KE is like an original E3 that has been vastly improved with mods. E3V3 is brand new from the ground up. The most fundamental difference being core xz on the E3V3 and z axis leadscrews on the KE. And other less significant improvements elsewhere. I’m kind of trying to decide between these models myself. I’m not convinced that core xz is better.

[@BarPBarPkoyanee]

@@andrewmiller6051 thanks for this bro, me too looking around for my 2nd 3d printer, i google some more and for me CoreXZ is not really worth it for the price compare with the KE. maybe a V2 of CoreXZ then i will go with that. but for now im going with the KE. and i can also do 100 flow rate if i change the nozzle too :)

In Canada it sounds like it will be near 600$....... KE is way cheaper. BUT! it has major wobbling. Fixable? probably.

[@ragesmirk]

I have the V3 KE. The frame is too weak for the speed of the printer. Get the V3 CoreXZ

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Yeah I agree. The frame was optimized for the V3 SE, then they turbocharged it for the KE and it just isn't stiff enough to maintain print quality at high speeds. If you turn the speeds down it's fine, like 2x SE speeds. Problem is they set the stock profiles to run at like 4x the SE speeds.

[@StumpyTales]

I'm a relative newbie to the 3DP world, and I think I'm missing something about this "Core XZ" thing. This seems just the same as the previous Ender 3's. That is, the bed goes back and forward (X axis), the print head goes side to side (Y axis) and vertically (up/down the gantry - the Z axis). So how is it different? Can someone explain please? (Googling for an answer did not help by the way). Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the whole concept.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Basically the X and Z are driven by 2 identical but mirrored belt loops. On most normal Ender 3s the X is driven by 1 simple belt loop for X, and 1 leadscrew for Z. It's kind of a technical difference that doesn't actually mean a whole lot to the end user, but it is an interesting design configuration.

[@StumpyTales]

@@NathanBuildsRobots Thanks. No wonder I couldn't figure it out. I will definitely file that information under 'Stuff I don't need to know'. 😉

Just another creality gimmick...

[@cexinho]

Could this lead to consumer choice overload? So many printers coming from creality recently. If it was me starting now, I wouldn't know which one to pick

[@oldsjunkie1]

Simple, stay away from creality. That's always been the policy here.

[@logicalfundy]

Creality has always been releasing a bunch of printers, then never retiring them. You can *still* buy the original Ender 3 if you really want to. As far as what to pick: Pick the K1 or Ender 3 V3 from this video. Don't bother at all with their older printers.

[@SkateSoup]

Other than someone who does volume printing of files that z hop constantly or maybe a counter to crap lead screws causing artifacts, Core XZ really feels like the answer to a question nobody is asking. Maybe they got cost savings pulling things from their K1 motion system over here, they do like cost savings.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I thought the same thing before getting some hands on time with this machine. But visually, it's really clean, and well built. CoreXZ vs I3 really doesnt matter as much as overall build quality and attention to detail. Maybe it's an unnecessary marketting fluff feature, but they pulled it off correctly at least.

[@infectioushost1]

As a noob, I’m enjoying the Ender 3 v3. What it lacks in mods it makes up in ease of use. The side loading is a bit of a pain. I’ve had one spool get tangled, so I’d like to upgrade to a better spool holder or loading system. With it being new still, I’ve had to order the “unicorn” nozzle directly from Creality. Microcenter didn’t stock them. Still waiting on what the two empty screw holes at the top, are for.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I think they have a printable model to move the spool holder to the top

[@Deepfriedprobs]

@@NathanBuildsRobots So the runoff sensor would need to be moved too then. Not a big deal, but it’s definitely a change. Thanks for the reply!

[@emmanuelskolinos1361]

you miss telling us what fillament you use is it hyper pla,abs. or fishing line ?

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Creality Hyper PLA. I use it because it's what creality reccomends and having used it on multiple printers, it shows defects pretty well for testing.

I'll wait for a version 2 of this very printer but I think this and the the K1(to a lesser degree) are steps towards Creality redeeming themselves. I know everyone and their mom has Enders...but I can't tell u how many times I hear those same people compalin about those old printers when I'm strolling through a Microcenter. I actively blocked a salesman from showing a mom a Neo(she was complaining about bed adhesion on a v2 she had) when there was the new KE and SE's right behind them.

[@MrUniq]

I bit the bullet and got this machine on sale at MicroCenter. Under 300 is a good deal for the features u get. I paid more than that to upgrade an old printer. I don’t need the plus model. I use this just like any other Klipper machine I use. However, Creality’s own UI is unimpressive.

[@IvanJoel]

Finallly a plug and play printer you can trust from Creality.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

🤞

Maybe! We'll know how reliable it is in a couple of years. But they definitely didn't take any chances with that bed cable, it looks like they aren't risking making the same mistake Bambu did.
