Under the banner of “Upgrade fun together,” Creality has taken to sunny Bavaria to host a shindig to show off its recent and all-new products.

The event and unveiling were live-streamed on Creality’s social media channels. Conveniently, though, the event took place on All3DP’s home turf, just a short Autobahn hop across Munich from All3DP HQ, so we attended to get an inside look.

First up is the company’s new premium mid-sized 3D printer, the Creality CR10 SE. We covered this with a news bit around its initial announcement, so check that out for the full details. To recap, it combines ideas from the CR-10 and CR-6 series machines and introduces linear rails to the lineup, with both the X- and Y- axes using them.

The CR-10 SE prints up to a claimed 600 mm/s (8,000 mm/s² acceleration) with a Sprite extruder feeding into a high-flow hot end that seems similar (if not the same) to the upgraded ceramic hot end present on the K1 series.

Likewise, the previously-leaked Ender 3 SE put in an appearance. Creality’s budget-level Ender 3 V3-series machine, the V3 SE, is a decided speed upgrade on older Ender 3 machines and uses the latest iteration of the company’s Sprite extruder. It uses Marlin firmware and features input-shaping vibration compensation and auto bed-leveling.

The series-topping Creality Ender 3 V3 is new today, with the whole beans spilled and spelling out an intriguing picture amidst a tomato sauce of innovation.

Touting a top print speed close to its top-tier K1 printer – 600 mm/s with 10,000 mm/s² acceleration – Creality’s Ender 3 V3 uses relatively uncommon CoreXZ kinematics, which can give high precision through the Z-axis in addition to speed. The beltwork for the V3 is partially hidden inside the printer’s frame, lending a clean look to the printer from its front.

Stability was a theme of this part of the presentation, with the V3 uniquely featuring a die-cast frame that is said to ensure a solid foundation for the V3’s high-speed printing.

As with the CR-10 SE, the Ender 3 V3 appears to use the K1 series’s ceramic hot end, meaning high temperatures and high flow. Additionally, you get a large Creality OS touchpad with the company’s Klipper-esque UI. Full Creality Cloud compatibility is present, should that excite you. There’s the gamut of contemporary print-enhancing features, including input shaping, pressure advance, printer self-checks, and, as with the K1 series, hands-free auto bed-leveling.

The Ender 3 V3 launches in October at $379.

Also launching in October is the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE. We’re not sure what KE designates precisely, but you can think of it as the mid-spec V3 with 500mm/s print speed and a linear rail-driven X-axis. Notably, it uses an upgraded Sprite extruder for its filament delivery rather than the ceramic hot end used on Creality’s clearly more premium printers. The KE also features a 4.3-inch touchpad UI, with the full Creality OS with features including input shaping and pressure advance.

Also announced, but not divulged in any great detail, is the Ender 3 V3 Plus. Unsurprisingly, this will be the medium-format version of the fully decked-out V3. No word yet on when it will drop.

With the dramatic backdrop of the Allianz Arena to announce all of this, Creality also had something to fit the setting: a cobranded FC Bayern K1 3D printer. Our notes for this run to a descriptive “It’s red.” Which just about sums it up. No Harry Kane signature, but a handsome red colorway and an FC Bayern sticker on the door.

It was also largely apparent throughout the show that Creality is keen to show off the growing ecosystem of products it offers. Not only were there updated versions of existing products, but also all new things we weren’t expecting.

For one, Creality has evolved its line of control pads for 3D printers with the Nebula pad, a portrait-orientation display with embedded smarts to control your 3D printer. This, paired with a separate Nebula camera accessory, promises quicker printing from older printers, timelapse recording, and remote operation.

There’s now a Creality Space π Filament Dryer, which we will absolutely be referring to as Space Pie internally. Goofball name aside, the device will be available in single or dual-bay sizes for filament storage and drying. Preprogrammed heating cycles for the run of common filament types come as standard, with a large, prod-friendly display on the front for poking in which filament you have loaded. Creality says you get real-time monitoring of the filament, which can’t be bad if you’re in a particularly humid part of the world and struggle to maintain the condition of your filament.

The Scan Ferret budget 3D scanner has been updated in the Scan Ferret Pro. We’re particularly excited about this one, having recently gone hands-on with the OG Scan Ferret and finding it a solid budget experience in scanning – check out our budget 3D scanners guide for more. Upgrades include Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, allowing for fast streaming to your computer, and Creality says better color capture and anti-shake measures. At $449, it’s not an offensive price jump on its predecessor but does close the gap to competitors like Revopoint with its Pop series of scanners.

Lastly, Creality’s Falcon2 laser cutter saw something of a sidegrade in the Falcon Pro 10W, which is positioned as a more beginner-friendly version of its namesake. It is a less powerful device on paper, but the price point of $499 is much softer than the Falcon2 22W’s close to $1,000 ask.
