In this video I will walk you through the set up of the Creality Ender 3 V3 Core XZ high speed 3D printer from unboxing to your first print. This printer requires very little in terms of assembly but I will show you how to get started with the Ender 3 V3 and share with you what I was able to achieve in terms of print quality.

We will be starting with Creality Print as our slicer but after months of printing - I would highly recommend checking out OrcaSlicer. I was able to use the K1 profile with the Ender 3 V3 and achieve really high speeds with very little sacrifice in quality.

I also have several upgrades that I have made available for the V3, and other Ender 3 models such as the SE/KE and older models. See the links below:

I hope to provide you with insight into the pros and cons of using the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE. If you are considering purchasing this equipment please consider supporting the sponsor of this video @Creality3D (As an Amazon associate I may earn a small commission at NO extra cost to you)

As Creality provided me with both the Creality V3 and their HYPER PLA filament for the making of this video this wouldn't be possible without them and I would like to sincerely thank them for sending me this equipment.

If you have already purchased the Creality Ender 3 V3 I hope this video provides you with some insights that you find useful. To support my work, please consider visiting my website where you will find other upgrades for a large variety of other printers such as the Ender 3 S1, Ender 5 S1, CR10 Smart, CR6 SE, Ender 7 and many more!

Overall, I would recommend the Creality Ender 3 V3 for beginner and advanced users alike. For the extra money over the KE model it seems you will not have the same minor quality control issues that I experienced with the KE. Overall the V3 with the Core XZ motion system feels like a more bespoke printer than the SE/KE. The Core XZ motion system makes for silky smooth layers and the four strain gauge sensors in the print bed ensure perfect first layers every time.

I loved the Ender 3 V3 so much that I purchased four more of these machines for my print farm and have started to put the new 3D printers to work. The Ender 3 V3 has been producing dimensionally accurate parts for me with no need to compensate for any strange skewing or inaccurate dimensions in any axis.

If you are new to 3D printing I still think you should have realistic expectations of the learning curve involved with the hobby. The machine works well out of the box but if you happen to run into issues you will likely get frustrated at first. Take a deep breath, stick with it and don't give up! It doesn't matter if you have a Creality, Bambu Labs, or any other popular high speed printer of this era, eventually you will need to do some troubleshooting eventually - especially if you start printing with new and exotic materials.
