The Ender 3 V3 SE is an excellent 3D printer. It's a reliable, budget friendly machine with ease of use, detailed instructions, and a simple user interface. Its mid-sized design and 220x220m build plate makes it an exceptional option for quality large and small prints. Out of the box, the Ender 3 V3 SE does require some assembly, but overall nothing too difficult to manage. I found that it took an average of 20 minutes to set up. The printer comes with an auto-leveling bed process. The leveling process ensures your printer nozzle isn't too high or low from the print bed. I found this to be a great time saver, as the manual leveling process of many other printers requires many steps and a substantial amount of time to perfect the settings. This also brings forth ease of use for people starting out in the 3D printing community. The entire process only takes a few minutes, but the level of quality it brings for your future prints sure makes it worth it. The slicer program for converting your 3D files into printable objects is quite decent. I found that for large prints, the program works really well with little to no problems. Using the default program, I would recommend for owners to do their research well for proper print settings in order to get proper prints. The default program does have some trouble with converting much smaller 3D models to printable formats, and while it may not show up in the program, the inconsistencies DO reveal themselves while printing. For this reason, I suggest that owners of the Ender 3 V3 SE look into other popular free softwares out on the internet. A few flaws I've noticed with the Ender 3 V3 SE is that when assembling, I found out that a few screws already pre-assembled on the printer were a bit loose, specifically on the extruder housing and the heated surface. I tightened them up as I wouldn't want any pieces flying out during high-speed prints. I also noticed that the included magnetic print bed was a bit warped on the left side, which caused the nozzle to drag along the surface. You can easily either purchase another build plate or send an email to the company's support team if this happens. Another thing to mention is that I advise you to not use the included filament if you place your printer on a wobbly surface, as it can cause the filament to fall out of the holder attached to the 3D printer. While yes, the Ender 3 V3 SE might have a few flaws, it's overall a superb option for 3D printing on a budget. The issues I've experienced aren't very likely to happen to other buyers, so I would like for my review to not hinder your decision on purchasing this wonderful product. If you do have a bit more cash to spend, I would also look at other newer lineups of printers from this same company here on the Best Buy website, as their deals are unmatched compared to other websites that sell the same product.

I'm impressed. It was well packaged. The box included everything needed for first use: the printer, cables, SD card, SD card adapter, instructions, tools, and some filament. The SD card even included a test pattern. Setup was very simple from the included instructions. The company also produced YouTube tutorials to validate the written instructions. These weren't needed but appreciated. I did elect to update the firmware proactively since I noticed a new version was posted on the website. I can't say if that was required. The included instructions in the download were easy to follow. It was about 30 minutes from opening the box to the first print. The auto-level and calibration feature work well. I've not had to manually adjust it. All our prints have looked great. I didn't expect this kind of experience at this price point. I'd absolutely recommend it to other casual users and beginners.

It's my first time using a 3d printer of any kind, and honestly I thought it was going to be a nightmare to set up and use. This printer actually surprises me as most of the setting-up, like bed-leveling, is done automatically by the printer. The software is also breeze and friendly to use and I had both set up and printing in just a few minutes with no experience with 3d printing at all. The prints it makes are perfect. Truly a great printer for beginners. Would recommend to anyone.

This is my first time having a 3D printer, and I could not be happier with it. I purchased the Creality Ender v3 SE, and Best Buy was fast to ship it after I ordered it. Here are some reasons why I love it:Easy and quick setup.Light and compact design.Simple installation and usage on your PC or laptop.Plenty of online resources to help you get the most out of this printer.Filament is widely available.No issues so far after many prints.Definitely worth the money I paid for it.

Purchased this for my twelve year old daughter and I think I may be more in love than she is. I am absolutely amazed at what this machine can create! She loves the auto-leveling feature and I am impressed with the quality.
