Meet the Ender-3 V3 KE, quiet power for ambitious prints
Klipper-based Creality OS, a precise X-axis linear rail and hands-free auto calibration mean the KE moves fast, prints clean and stays out of your way — from a first classroom build to a serious weekend project.
Creality OS, smart beyond limits
The Ender-3 V3 KE runs on Creality OS, built on the popular open-source Klipper firmware , so it's fast under the hood and easy to build on. A touch UI with an intuitive tab bar puts everything within reach, a one-tap smart self-test handles Z-offset and auto leveling together, and real-time model previews with vivid motion graphics keep you in the loop throughout a print.
Why Choose the Ender-3 V3 KE?
Six qualities that make it a genuine step up in speed, precision and everyday convenience.
Connected for Smart Control
Creality OS keeps the printer connected, so you can manage settings and monitor jobs easily.
Precise Linear Rail on X-axis
A ball-bearing carriage with a 0.04 friction coefficient* keeps every X-axis pass accurate and steady.
High-Speed Printing
Up to 500mm/s* max printing speed and 8000mm/s²* acceleration turn long jobs into shorter ones.
Auto Calibration
A single tap runs the smart self-test for Z-offset and bed leveling.
Model Cooling Fans on Two Sides
A fan on each side of the printhead cools freshly printed sections rapidly and evenly for crisper detail.
Hotend with 60W Ceramic Heater
A bi-metal heatbreak and copper nozzle support up to 300°C*.
What's inside the Ender-3 V3 KE
A genuine engineering platform, tuned for speed without giving up reliability.
Printing Technology
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) with dual Z-axis lead screws and dual linear shafts on the Y-axis.
Build Volume
220 × 220 × 240mm, ideal for classroom projects, props and functional parts.
Extruder
Upgraded Sprite direct-drive extrusion, tuned for higher speeds and accelerations.
Leveling
Hands-free auto leveling paired with a smart self-test.
Controls
32-bit silent mainboard, 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, USB drive, LAN and Creality Cloud file transfer.
Compatibility
Creality Print, Cura or Simplify3D on Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
Smart UI & auto calibration
The touch UI has an intuitive tab bar, so file details, system and network settings are always within reach. The smart self-test handles Z-offset and auto leveling with one tap.
Real-time model previews and motion graphics show exactly what the printer is doing.
Smart algorithms, better print quality
Input shaping mitigates the printer's vibrations for minimal ringing or ghosting on flat surfaces, while motion advance optimises feeding flow for fewer blobs and oozes at speed.
Together they keep fast prints looking clean, not rushed.
*Input shaping uses a preset value. An optional vibration compensation sensor is required for tuning.
Control and monitor smartly, from anywhere
LAN printing and cloud printing take the fun beyond the limits of the room. Manage the printer from a PC with Creality Print or from a phone with the Creality Cloud app over Wi-Fi. With several printers online, you can also manage a small print farm.
Extraordinary printing speed
Max printing speed 500mm/s*; max acceleration 8000mm/s²*.

X-axis linear rail, ultra-smooth motion
The precise linear rail on the X-axis rides on a carriage slide packed with ball bearings, making every move accurate and steady.
Built from stiff steel, it is designed for reliable long-term use.

Superior hotend to meet greater challenges
A 60W ceramic heater fully melts filament even at high-speed printing.
A bi-metal copper and titanium alloy heatbreak prevents thermal creep, while a copper nozzle enables printing up to 300°C*.
*Data from Creality Lab, tested at 25°C room temperature.
Double fans for rapid model cooling
Each side of the printhead has its own model cooling fan. Together they cool freshly printed sections rapidly and evenly, helping prints retain their shape even at higher speeds.
Still compact, but offers much more
More filaments to print with
The Ender-3 V3 KE handles Hyper PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU (95A) and ASA.
Pick the right material for everyday items, parts or projects. For high-speed printing, Creality Hyper PLA offers improved feeding and cooling performance.
Get printing started like a breeze
Quick assembly, a self-test for calibration and auto filament loading get you to your first print fast.
Quick Assembly
A handful of screws and cable connections is all it takes to get started.
Self-Test for Calibration
One tap runs the smart self-test for Z-offset and auto leveling.
Auto Filament Loading
Load your spool and let the printer handle the rest before your first print.
Details you will surely love
OTA Firmware Update
Keep the printer current without a cable in sight.
Slicing Presets in Creality Print
Rich presets make preparing a print quick, even the first time.
Get Print Alerts on Phone/PC
Know when a print finishes, fails or needs attention.
Free Models on Creality Cloud
Well-categorised models are ready to download and print.
Dual Linear Shafts on Y-axis
Steadier, more stable platform movement across every print.
Dual Z-axis Lead Screws
Reduced Z-wobble for cleaner, more consistent layers.
Kit it out as your printing grows
Nebula Camera
Supports failure detection, real-time monitoring and time-lapse filming of prints.
Vibration Compensation Sensor
Detects vibration and helps adjust the input shaping preset.
Hyper PLA Filament
Smooth feeding and fast cooling support better high-speed printing results.
