CONCLUSION

    The Ender-3 V3 is the 3^rd fastest 3D printer I’ve reviewed to date and even though I haven’t reviewed that many models that still says a lot. Yes, it’s not the largest model around (check its larger brother, the Ender-3 V3 PLUS for that) so more demanding users may opt for something else but if you don’t care about that not only its speed and build quality but also its features make it a really great choice. Noise levels could also be lower, but I seriously doubt many people care about that, same with power consumption. One thing that did annoy me about the Ender-3 V3 was the how long it took for the printer to start printing and that’s not even including calibration (when chosen). This applies for the last 2 firmware version so I don’t know if Creality will resolve it in future updates, for now however yes, waiting for well over 3 minutes for a print to start is way too long (that goes to around 8 minutes with calibration).

    Currently retailing for USD359 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 374.29Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Ender-3 V3 3D printer by Creality is priced well for what it offers. At the end of the day the Creality Ender-3 V3 may not be the best 3D printer out there but it combines very fast printing speed with a plethora of useful features (not to mention very good build quality) and for that it deserves the Golden Award.
