Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus

Name: Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus
Brand: Creality
SKU: 34230

Manufacturer: Creality

The Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus is a large-format FDM 3D printer designed for users who need a generous build area alongside modern convenience features. It arrives pre-assembled and includes a 4.3″ touch screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and smartphone remote support, making it relatively straightforward to set up and operate. Automatic bed leveling removes one of the more time-consuming aspects of printer maintenance, letting users focus on their prints rather than manual calibration.

The printer supports a 600 mm/s maximum print speed and uses a 0.4 mm nozzle with 1.75mm filament, with a minimum layer thickness of 100 µm. Its heated build platform enables printing in PLA, ABS, and PETG. Connectivity is handled through a single USB port and Wi-Fi, while there is no RJ45 Ethernet port or external memory slot. Operating power consumption is rated at 350W, and audible noise during operation is noted at 55 dB. The unit measures 410 x 445 x 577 mm and weighs approximately 11,500 g.

Pros

Automatic bed leveling removes the need for manual calibration before each print
Comes pre-assembled, reducing the time and effort required to get started
Wi-Fi connectivity combined with remote smartphone support allows print management without being physically present at the machine
A 4.3″ touch screen provides direct, intuitive on-device control
Supports PLA, ABS, and PETG filament materials, covering a practical range of common printing needs
Large maximum build volume of 300 x 300 x 330mm accommodates sizable print jobs

Cons

No external memory slot limits local file storage options
Does not include a plug and play feature, requiring setup before first use
Lacks an RJ45 Ethernet port, making wired network connection unavailable
Does not generate support structures automatically, requiring manual intervention for complex overhanging geometries
Operating noise level of 55 dB may be noticeable in quieter environments

Who is this for?

This printer is well suited to users who want a large build volume of 300 x 300 x 330mm for producing sizable parts or prototypes without splitting prints across multiple runs. The combination of automatic bed leveling, a pre-assembled design, and a touch screen interface makes it a practical choice for those who want to start printing with minimal setup friction. Users who print frequently with common materials such as PLA, ABS, and PETG will find the heated build platform and multi-material support genuinely useful in day-to-day workflows.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need wired network connectivity through an Ethernet port will find this printer limiting, as it relies solely on Wi-Fi for network access. The absence of automatic support structure generation means it is not well suited to those who regularly print complex geometries with significant overhangs, as manual support planning adds considerable preparation time. Additionally, users working in noise-sensitive environments such as shared offices or quiet home spaces may find the 55 dB operating noise level disruptive during extended print sessions.
