Ender 3 V3
The Creality Ender 3 V3 is a FDM 3D printer released in 2024 by Creality, with a build volume of 220×220×250 mm and MSRP of €399. Claimed maximum speed: 600 mm/s.

Our take on the Ender 3 V3
The Ender 3 V3 refreshed Creality's best-known line with a fundamental change: CoreXZ kinematics instead of the classic design, a claimed 600 mm/s, a hardened-steel nozzle up to 300 °C and 32 mm³/s of flow. It's for people who want a fast single-colour printer with the huge Ender community behind it.
In its price bracket, the Bambu Lab A1 offers more volume and optional multicolour; the Ender 3 V3 answers with a higher claimed speed, a 110 °C bed and a nozzle ready for fibre-filled filaments. If you need more space within the same family, the Ender-3 V3 Plus goes up to 300 × 300 × 330 mm.
What it lacks: a camera and out-of-the-box support for automatic multicolour systems, and its 220 × 220 × 250 mm volume is simply the category standard. Being open-frame, large ABS parts need an enclosure. We have a longer analysis against its rivals.

What materials can the Ender 3 V3 print?
This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 300 °C, the bed 110 °C, and the machine is open-frame with a direct-drive extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.
In short: it prints PLA, PETG, TPU (flexible) without a fight, and it can reach ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) with conditions — the detail for each is below.
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the Ender 3 V3 prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | Yes | Yes. With a nozzle up to 300 °C and a bed up to 110 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs. |
| TPU (flexible) | Yes | Yes. It has a direct-drive extruder, ideal for flexibles; prints TPU well (go slow). |
| ABS | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ABS can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| ASA | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ASA can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| Nylon (PA) | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C but is open-frame; Nylon warps in drafts and absorbs moisture. Enclosure + drying almost mandatory. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | With caveats | With caveats. It has the temperature (300 °C) but is open-frame; PC warps badly without an enclosure. Only with one added. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
