Creality, a renowned leader in the 3D printing industry, has announced the latest addition to its renowned Ender-3 series, the Ender-3 V3 KE. Building upon the legacy of the Ender-3 series, this new release comes with extensive upgrades and enhancements focused around ease of use and intelligence, making it a great choice for both beginners and hobbyists.
The Ender-3 series by Creality has been a popular commodity in the 3D printing market, boasting the largest user base of any 3D printer series. The company, which prides itself on being highly attentive to user feedback, has taken this iconic series to the next level by infusing it with smart features that simplify the 3D printing experience, equally for newcomers and enthusiasts.
The Ender-3 V3 KE aims to become a prime example of how affordable, DIY 3D printers can become even smarter than we could previously imagine. At its core is the introduction of Creality OS, a smart operating system that centers around ease of use and automation. With one-touch intelligent self-checks and automatic bed leveling, it eliminates the hassles of traditional printing setup.
Moreover, the printer seamlessly integrates with Creality Print and the Creality Cloud app, enabling remote printing and monitoring, adding a new dimension of convenience. The printer’s brand-new UI (user interface) enhances usability with global navigation buttons, real-time model previews, and dynamic displays that provide an intuitive and vivid user experience. Smart algorithms are introduced for input shaping and flow optimization to eliminate ripples and corner bulges, delivering exceptional model detailing.
Not only is the Ender-3 V3 KE flush with smart features, it’s also designed for swift and precise production. It boasts a top printing speed of 500mm/s and acceleration of 5000mm/s², significantly improving efficiency. For instance, a 3D Benchy can be printed in just 15 minutes and 8 seconds without sacrificing print quality.
The X-axis employing precision ball linear guides and the Y-axis with dual linear shafts ensure each move is accurate, steady and frictionless, with high-strength bearing steel supporting wear resistance and longevity. An upgraded hot end featuring a 60W ceramic heating element and a copper-titanium alloy nozzle ensures smooth flow and high compatibility for materials. With dual cooling fans on each side of the print head, even cooling and rapid model formation is ensured, resulting in significantly improved print quality.
The Ender-3 V3 KE offers a perfect balance of compactness and versatility. While occupying less space and weighing less than previous Ender printers, it still boasts rich functions, giving full rein to creative ambitions. While printing faster and better with Creality Hyper PLA, which offers smooth feeding and fast cooling, the printer is compatible with a wide range of filaments, including PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU (95A), and ASA, allowing users to print a variety of daily items, prototypes, parts, or end-use products. With three convenient ways of printing – via USB drive, data-secure LAN printing with WiFi, and cloud printing with WiFi – getting started with the Ender-3 V3 KE is a simple affair.
Users can take their 3D printing experience to the next level with a range of optional add-ons for the Ender-3 V3 KE. These include an AI laser radar, AI camera, vibration compensation sensor kit, and Creality Hyper PLA, making the printer even more versatile. The optional AI Camera supports failure detection, real-time monitoring, and time-lapse filming, while the vibration compensation sensor accurately tests and automatically adjusts the presets for input shaping. Other notable details that users will surely appreciate include OTA firmware updates, print alerts on phone/PC, free models on Creality Cloud, and slicing presets in Creality Print.
The Ender-3 V3 KE is set to change the 3D printing experience for entry-level and intermediate users, making the entire process more accessible, intelligent, and powerful. Priced at an affordable $279, the Ender-3 V3 KE 3D printer is now available through Creality Store.
