I compared two of the most popular machines on the market right now, the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE and the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE! One is Marlin based, the other Klipper and although they look very similar, they are vastly different 3D printers for different people, but I think you'll be surprised at their print results.

    Nice comparison between them. Makes it easier for most newbies to understand and then decide what their budget allows them to spend. Keep it simple and to the point.
  • @russdesigns
    Nice camera switch between camera A and B! Loving the studio upgrades.
  • @LaloLPGMER
    Very informative, i just bought the SE and everything works phenomenal 😊
  • I bought the SE then saw a video about the KE and needed a comparison and this did it so I'm just keeping the SE and dealing with what I got. Thank you so much this is what I needed.
  • @QuietMikeW
    love my SE, didn't need any network stuff or runout sensor. added a pei sheet immediately, changed the hotend fan to a 4020, runs fantastic, price is amazing saw it on sale not too long ago for $170
  • @silentshadow867
    I do not own a 3D printer, but have been considering buying one. I was able to easily identify the KE from the SE due to the filament detection sensor.
  • @Suhlirvideos
    I really wanted to see this comparison. Thank you
  • Hi what do you think about the max acceleration speeds on the se being 4000 for x,y,z and e
  • @Alen.88
    Thank you for the video. Just the one that I needed to see. I initially wanted to buy A1, but KE seems to be right choice now.,

    I have been looking at a few reviews on these machines now since I am interested in getting a 3D printer to make some models that I create in Blender! What I can tell so far the differences are not that big but I was worried about the SE only having the SD card since I honestly have no idea how you are supposed to be able to transfer files to the machine from one of those cards. I also wondered since I am new to these printers and have no experience with them. What is really recommended, is it just what is prefered for one self and can the printers work from any room? Do they have to be in a workshop or does a regular room with a flat surface work fine? Would appreciate any tips or advice on the matter! Thanks for a great video ♥

    Really throwing me this 3d printing world! Started looking at where to go - being a complete newby, was looking at Bambu P1S,but now the KE has my attention. Never had any experience before and want something that works and can produce good results - will probably use to make tools and accessories for woodworking / laser projects -just don’t know if I can justify the extra cost of the Bambu!
  • Thanks for the video keep them coming. Do you think these printers are better than the elgoo Neptune 4 series printers? Also would you recommend going with one of these more budget printers like the creality or elgoo, or saving a little bit more and getting a A1 series printer. Mainly talking about general speed, quality, and reliability.
  • @deus164
    Ni ce video. I've pull the trigger for the KE version few days ago. By the way SE sheet is PC (polycarbonate)
  • I really like the SE for simplicity and intuitiveness for beginners especially, along with the analog handle as opposed to touch screen.
  • i just curious about the filament laying on the back, is it okay to put it like that ? or did u have some problem after that ? like fragile and stringy? thanks
  • @vincylobo261
    Hi, loved the vid. Have u heard of the newly planned ender 3 v3, not se or ke just flat ender 3 v3
  • @KasarReis
    should i get cr-10 se or ender 3 v3 corexy
  • @LacasseEric
    I wonder what kind of performance you'd get out of an Ender 3 V3 SE on which you've installed Klipper on. The difference would be limited by the V-Rollers and hotends.
