How to USE the Ender-3 V3 KE || Unboxing and first impressions

This video is a very introductive walkthrough of the unboxing and setup of the Ender-3 V3 KE from Creality, this printer boast amazingly fast speeds even though it looks and feels a lot like the older Ender-3s. We also go through how to use the Nebula Camera and how to slice your first print for this machine.

I forgot to link the Dragon STL used in this video, you can find it here:

I got myself one of these, still working out the kinks. 1st when unboxing just check the following before you plug it in and start calibrating.
1. Double check the red voltage switch in the rear is on the correct setting, mine was set to 220, which caused to it continuously reboot during calibration. (easy fix)
2. The Y axis tensioner (rear hex key under the plate) was a little loose, it comes with the wrenches to tighten it.
3. The X axis tensioner (right side on the carriage arm) was very loose causing errors during calibration. The provided hex keys resolve this as well.
4. The Z axis (up and down) I found the higher my print went, the more the nozzle would hit the print making a thumping sound and eventually offsetting the print. Just adjust the Z axis up by .05mm and that seems to do the trick.
5. Before feeding the filament, cut the tip at a 45 degree angle.
I also would highly recommend ordering a few extra nozzles to keep on hand as well as silicon boots and a cleaning kit.

I found TinkerCad is super easy to work with on 3D modeling and it's FREE.

I just started using mine over the weekend. Love it. I still have a lot to learn, but am happy with the results thus far.

I just bought one, thanks for telling me some info!

[tonygray]

great video, well presented, very smartly done

[FEET]

So far I am very happy with my machine . Done large and small prints fast and slow . Had bed adhesion issues but resolved.

[Ryder-newp]

TY for the video brother very excited to start printing ty

[neilk]

Printing the supplied benchy is very impressive coming from an ender 3 v2 Neo.

Just bought one of these! What is the filament colour you used on the dragon? Great tutorial as well.

[ВолодимирКравчук-мо]

It's a very helpful video. Could you tell me what weaknesses of this printer you have found during the period of exploitation? What would you recommend to improve compared to the stock configuration?

[PULSTARUnboxing]

mine make some "ticks" noise when start, like 3 or 4, is that normal?

[swimbikerun]

Where can I find the design for the crystal dragon? Awesome video! Thank you.

[ChenHaziza]

thanks for the video. is there a way to print multi color in a way that for instance a head will be white and eyes will be black ? or only if I print in 2 different parts then assemble them?

[daviddavid-uhyv]

what temperature do you use for pla? i use 200c for extruder and 60c for bed, and it is always oozing and messing up

Are you able to use the "pause at height" or "filament change" in Cura? It doesn't seem to recognize the commands. Does Creality Print have such features?

[FrancoisFrank]

Hi, just have one but important (for me) question: can this ke print wood filaments?
I prefer this one than the S1 pro but the latter can print wood.

[grantwatson]

does it really print faster than other printers? I have a Ender3 v2 not the fastest printer and have you printed TPU?

[ariel_an]

Excuse my ignorance. How do you print the dragon with those colors?

[Digitaldarth]

Got one. It failed after 14 days. Retailer wouldn’t refund. Creality said they didn’t have any parts to replace ruined ones with. I have a $250 paperweight. Terrible CS.
