ENDER 3 V3 KE - ENTRY LEVEL HIGH SPEED PRINTING

this is the ender3 V3 K made by creality the K is the Clipper edition of The Next Generation ender3 series it's offering amazing features that are usually reserved for top-end models like the hands-free autoed level system autoz offset the Sprite direct extruder and impressive print speeds of up to 500 mm a second the printer comes well packaged and the new frame design allows it to be packed smaller and neater everything is included to get you started there's a quick start guide for the assembly and setting up information of the software an accessory bag including the assembly hardware tools USB stick and a hyper pla filament sample there's the power cable the touch screen a spool holder with a filament runout sensor the top Gantry with pre-installed dual Z AIS lead screws and the hotend and extruder and finally we have the base with a y- AIS and bed platform installed assembly for this printer is super easy and even for beginners it's a breeze setting up the machine the manual has clearance instructions on how to assemble the machine and making it easy all the bolts are labeled in bags the complex parts are already set up and pre-assembled and just need to be bolted together along with plugging in a few cables the new generation of the Ender 3 3D printers are one of the easiest and quickest hassle-free kits to assemble the ender3 V3 K Builds on the previous generations with additional features and with new custom aluminium profiles and a molded plastic base which gives it a neat and clean design at the back there are dual Zed lead screws moved by a single steeper motor which uses a belt to synchronize both sides and this achieves balance and rigidity on the Z axis when printing dual model cooling fans are found on the tool head and the hot end comes with a 0.4 mm nozzle installed this can reach temperatures of 300° which is good for printing a variety of materials like PLA petg and flexible TPU fedan filment into the hot end is the Sprite direct extruder that produces a strong and unified Force the y- axis is using a pair of 8 mm steel rods and linear barrian rather than the vslot wheels and aluminum Extrusion found on the previous generation which is now able to move the light and build platform quickly and steadily the hotend and extruder move along the x-axis with a newly upgraded linear Rail and this is ultra smooth allowing fast and accurate and steady movement when printing when the belts need to be tightened the X and Y AIS have new lowprofile belt tensioners and these adjusted with Allen keys the bed has a removable magnetic Pei steel build surface and I found this works really well and they are one of my favorite printing surfaces there's no need to use glue sticks and prints adhere well to the platform and then are easily removed when finished at the back of the print bed there are handy alignment bolts which help align the build platform when reinstalling having good leveling is the basis of print quality and the K features a CR touch sensor for auto leveling and a load sensor in the front left corner for the auto Z offset for a beginner this is great as there's no need to turn screws or make adjustments the bed level is totally hands-free and completely taken care of by the machine The Zed offset can still be manually adjusted on the touchscreen if needed it's good to see features like this from higher end printers reaching a budget printer the 4.3in color touchcreen is easy to use and the user interface is easy to navigate The Loaded models have diagrams that makes it easy to find and select a model for printing on the underside of the display there's a USBC port for connection and two USB slots on the side for loading files this printer also has Wi-Fi which means files can be sent directly from the slicer software for printing we have a build volume of 220x 220x 240 mm which is enough for most basic models the printer has print speeds of up to 500 mm a second with 300 mm set as the default printing speed in the software the printer runs on a Clipper based firmware and there's input shaping which has has preset value but this can be further tuned by adding the optional vibration compensation sensor there's also an optional USB camera that can be plugged in for realtime monitoring and time-lapse footage the first print is the Beni boat which is included sliced on the USB stick this is printed with the white hyper pla filament starting the print process is simple and having the printer take care of the hands-free bed level makes the process as easy as possible the print took 20 minutes and this included the automatic calibration and bed level overall it turned out to be a decent print that printed quickly for slicing more files the cority print software is used it has a simple workflow and beginners can use the stock profiles to quickly get files ready the printer can print up to 500 mm a second but for pla the default print speeds are set at 300 mm a second the default settings produce good results and these can be adjusted as the user gains more experience having Wi-Fi capabilities on the printer allows control and monitoring from anywhere within the creality print software for more prints we'll be using the blue hyper pla filament the hyper pla is designed for high-speed Precision printing with fast cooling this articulating Bone Dragon has individual pieces that are linked together while printing once the printer part is complete a light Flex for the Pei build plate allows the model to be removed effortlessly this print took around 3 and 1/2 hours and the final result looks great and works as intended next up we've got a print of a screw lock Carabiner this print is made up of five individual parts and these parts are then assembled to build the item I did find the tances on the moving paths to be a bit tight but overall it turned out to be a decent functional print the geometric pot is printed using the spiral mode which starts with a few base layers and then prints one 0.4 mm wall around the edges to create the model the Pei plate holds model model well when printing and once finished it allows the printed model to be removed easily as soon as it starts to cool the final print turned out great and the printer performed as expected producing a good result the ender3 V3 K is well suited for beginners looking for an entry-level machine that's easy to set up and allows you to get started printing quickly the software is easy to operate and the printer produces fast and good quality prints for a budget printer it includes many features that are usually found on higher end models like the the Wi-Fi connection the touchscreen the hands-free autoed level system a Sprite direct extruder and its quick printing speeds the end3 printers have been an extremely popular range of 3D printers and the V3 K continues to offer good value and it makes a great first 3D printer either for new users or if you're looking to upgrade from an older model
