Creality Ender 3 V3 - FDM 3D printer

The Ender 3 V3 printer, a creation of the renowned company Creality, is a printer with a build volume of 220 x 220 x 250 mm and a high printing speed of up to 600 mm/s, with a maximum acceleration of 2000 mm/s2. It also stands out for its elegant and stable design, featuring a fully metallic construction, with parts made from ADC12 aluminum alloy through integrated die casting, ensuring high mechanical strength. An interesting feature of this printer is the included detachable spool holder.

The Ender 3 V3 printer features a new CoreXZ movement system, a revolutionary technology that ensures this printer's remarkable speed: it can print 12 times faster than a standard i3 3D printer. The XZ axis movement is coordinated as they are mounted together, allowing the two high-torque motors to work in unison to provide a fast response and accelerate from 0 to 600 mm/s in 0.03 seconds. The XZ belt tensioning is fully automated, ensuring speed and preventing slippage or jams. Additionally, the Z-axis includes precise linear rods and toothed belts, enabling unparalleled precision.

The Ender 3 V3 printer includes a reliable new extrusion kit with a quick-change nozzle. The Unicorn trimetallic nozzle is composed of copper and features an integrated steel tip with a titanium alloy heat sink, ensuring a very high durability. Additionally, this quick-change nozzle locks heat leakage perfectly, allowing for smooth feeding.

The direct drive extruder is enhanced with a reinforcing spring and a ball plunger, allowing for a firm grip on the filament without loosening, thereby preventing jams. The Ender 3 V3 printer includes a powerful 60W ceramic heater that surrounds the hotend, reaching 300 °C in just 75 seconds. Thanks to this powerful heater, the Ender 3 V3 can completely melt filaments like PLA, PLA CF, ABS, PETG, PETG CF, TPU and other high-temperature filaments. For the same performance but on a bigger scale see the Ender 3 V3 Plus printer.

The Ender 3 V3 includes two fans to provide instant cooling of printed parts. Each fan is positioned in front and behind the print head, cooling the freshly printed section quickly and evenly, ensuring high-quality results. Both fans are well balanced, avoiding unnecessary vibrations and consequently ensuring outstanding results.

The print bed of the Ender 3 V3 printer can reach a maximum temperature of 110 ºC. A flexible textured PEI plate is included, which adheres to models printed in various materials, and, with the spring steel base, allows users to release models with a slight bend. Another advantage of this printer is that it arrives in pre-assembled modules, allowing for a quick and easy assembly in under 10 minutes.

The Ender 3 V3 printer includes the open-source Creality OS operating system based on Klipper. This OS offers many advanced functions such as linear advance and input shaping. Additionally, it can be customized or joined with the open-source community for further exploration. The Ender 3 V3 printer is compatible with Creality Print slicing software, featuring smart cooling settings, optimized retraction configuration, thin tree support generation, and allowing users to manage a 3D printing farm more effectively than ever thanks to WiFi and WLAN connectivity. Additionally, with Creality Cloud, an easy-access 3D model library is included for the first time. The Creality Cloud online community is a diverse, convenient, and interesting all-in-one 3D printing platform.
