[@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.

[@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

[@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.

Thanks for sharing this review, liked the ease of operation since I am not the type to mod 3D Printers. 👍👍👍

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.

That top rail running on a bushing .. and with a spring. Much like a inkjet printer.

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.

[@rondlh20]

@@NathanBuildsRobotsUnderstood, thanks, that makes perfect sense.

[@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.

[@Andre_M_3D]

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

[@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.

[@peterd.4055]

Hi! For a non-beginner, but also non-professional hobby 3D home printing, which one would you recommend, this Ender 3 V3 3D CoreXY or the AnkerMake M5C maybe or Flashforge AD5M (mainly from the point of view of: print quality, supply of parts, PETG and TPU printing, self-designed objects that require more special slicing settings and filament change multicolor printing)?

[@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.

[@Ripshot]

What is the storage capacity for files on that machine..? To compare my K1 Max has 8.0GB.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I think it should be the same onbaord storage. If you need more capacity you can plug in a USB drive

[@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.

[@RaffaelePignataro]

Which filament did you used for the prints in the video? Creality hyper pla?

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

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?

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.

[@KyleSSamuelson]

9:56 I love that you point this out, such a fascinating design decision.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

The P1P tool carriage I have inspected does it too. There is definitely more to the way these things are built than most people realize. Note that it is spring loaded and forced into the UP position. So if it bumps into anything on the build plate, the preloaded already has the bushing making contact to resist the load.

[@schmeglyomigy6174]

Would you say the Sovol SV07 or Ender 3 V3 SE is better?

[@BD-js5vr]

Great to see this improvement. Without the competition of bambu lab, creality would continue building slight updates of the OG ender I think

[@GolemShadowsun]

i dont get why they keep using the bedslinger design for high speed printing? the input shaping will get problems when you have BIG prints on the bed. its a difference if you sling around a 300-400g bed empty or this bed plus 800g of a print. A point would be the price ... but the core xy model is just 100 bux more (with an enclosure) than the bed slinger. so whats the point? and since it is no more build from aluminum extrusions the options for easy mods also are limited. so i dont get it.

[@GolemShadowsun]

also if there is a big print on the bed at high speed the inertia will lead to other problems, since very most bed slinger beds are mounted in a way that there is flex. (if by springs, or the long rods and plates reaching to the corners.)

[@MrUniq]

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.

[@MrGarkin]

CoreXZ is not a terrible idea from a manufacturing standpoint. With CoreXZ you get: - reduced BOM (sourcing straight z-screws is a pain) - one less dust collecting and grease spreading surface, always full of lubricant - dual motor X - dual motor Z - eliminate all the issues related to the Z-woble and single Z-screw beam sagging - smaller footprint and frame dimensions, much slicker and denser design as a result You get all of this with only 2 motors and a pile of bearings. It's a splendid bedslinger synergy. It comes with a price of a much higher frame geometry and rigidity requirements. But those qualities are a __must__ in any modern competitive device. Thanks to LH-Stinger, in a year Aliexpress would be full of lightweight carbon-fiber-bed mods for it. It would put it in an even better speed place. Slanted frame beams same as V3 plus model wouldn't hurt too. But for use at home, from standpoints of noise, air quality and layer adhesion, current market fully enclosed cubic printers are unreachable. For $400 qidiq1pro or k1 are a absolute no-brainers for me, V3 is just a waste of money.

The 0.3 and 0.2 being stuck could be simply dependent on the wrong (uncalibrated) flow multiplier, easy to correct. The benchy shows excessive smoothing on the staircase surface on the sides and on the ... square thing on the deck. The default acceleration is too high for a slinger, but even reducing it won't affect the overall evaluation of the printer, simply under 25 minutes benchy for bed slingers should not be a goal.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

This one has better part cooling and a stiffer frame... This one should perform a bit better overall.

[@Jim_One-wl4ke]

@@NathanBuildsRobots thanks appreciated

[@afumble8366]

the head is not die cast it's a bended steelsheet

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I didn't do enough close-ups to show it, but its definitely die cast AL. I checked it with a magnet, and there are threaded holes tapped straight into it all over the place

What's with the black flashes between clips? Got to make sure your timeline clips are Snapped together, it's all over the video

[@MichyVerdon]

Is it possible to mount the roll holder somewhere else? Im asking cuz the area i have is cramped and the roll would get in the way

[@DustinGorman]

Nathan, as the definitive source for 3D printing news. I'm gonna need to know when that bigger bambu is coming.

[@SPG_ADR13N]

Finally. I was waiting for long for this vid 😅 Got a question though: If you had to choose two of the printers excluding the price which ones would it be? BL A1 Prusa MK4 Creality V3

[@Doonmer]

I doubt he will give you objective opinion, when he did A1 "review" didn't even got in any details about unit.

[@riba2233]

A1 is better, it is not even close.

[@Doonmer]

I would say yes, if it wasn't for heat bed cable. It was one of the best printers I used but I have returned it. Ill wait to see how it develops. @@riba2233

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

A1 has slightly larger build volume and less underextrusion... it's a good printer, but yeah, the bed cable puts it out of the running for now. Plus I dislike the Bambu Lab ecosystem. The A1 doesn't have any USB ports so you're more or less forced to use network/cloud, which makes me very suspicious of them.

[@riba2233]

@@NathanBuildsRobots nah you can use sd card if you really want to or lan only mode. Cable will be solved for anyone buying in the future, and it has many other benefits over other printers

[@IceCat143]

How long did it take to print the torture toaster?

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

about 5 hrs

[@hhoop3876]

Kinda reminds me of a Voron Switchwire

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Same motion system but more more optimized for mass production and efficient packaging.

I'm in Canada and don't have access to the ender 3 v3 yet, should I wait or get the KE

[@lemayhobby]

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.

[@666nacirema666]

Id really like to see creality put out a new larger format printer ender 5 plus is getting to be old and kinda high priced for what it is now. A new 350 or 400+ cubed or so option would be nice. I could see this one replacing some of my older machines for small models once the price comes down anyways and theyre proven to last. Just cant see myself spending 400 on a printer of this size no matter how fast it runs or how easy to put together it is though. At least they didnt throw it out there and let the users do their r&d then release an ender 3 v3v2 a while later.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

I 100% agree, I've been tempted to pick up an Ender 5 Plus because it's got crazy build volume, but the feature set is so ancient at this point, that it'd make more sense to do a full custom build like a ratrig if you're spending that much on the base printer plus upgrades.. Check out the adventurer 5M (non-pro) on Amazon. $269 for high speed unenclosed corexy. It's a screamin deal.

[@666nacirema666]

@@NathanBuildsRobots Have you tried the sovol svo5? Theyre an alright option for a fairly standard size build volume. Had hoped theyd do a plus version since its totally based on the ender 5 and even has a creality board in it but they havent.
