The Ender-3 V3 SE 3D Printer: built for real classroom and workshop use
The Ender-3 V3 SE 3D printer takes the guesswork out of 3D printing. Auto leveling and auto Z-offset mean no turning screws or pulling paper, the "Sprite" direct extruder handles PLA, PETG and flexible TPU with ease, and the 3.2" color knob screen shows exactly what the printer is doing at a glance. It's proven technology too — the same extruder platform has shipped in over 500,000 units worldwide. The Ender-3 V3 SE 3D printer is designed and manufactured by Creality.
Why Choose the Ender-3 V3 SE?
Six qualities that make it the easiest way to bring 3D printing into the classroom or workshop.
Worry-Free Auto Leveling
A CR Touch sensor and strain sensor handle leveling and Z-offset automatically — no screws, no paper.
"Sprite" Direct Extruder
A market-proven extruder that handles PLA, PETG and flexible TPU with ease — over 500,000 units shipped.
Print Faster, Without the Wait
Up to 250mm/s max printing speed and 2500mm/s² acceleration cut real print time without losing quality.
Sleek, Compact Footprint
A 19.4% build-volume-to-printer-size ratio means a big build area without hogging desk space.
Printing In About 20 Minutes
Assembly, auto leveling and filament loading together take roughly 20 minutes from box to first print.
Full-Color Knob Display
A 3.2" color screen with motion graphics shows leveling progress and print status at a single glance.
What's inside the Ender-3 V3 SE
A genuine engineering platform, built to be reliable, upgradable and easy to understand.
Printing Technology
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) with a rigid dual Z-axis for stable, wobble-free layers.
Build Volume
220 × 220 × 250mm, enough for most classroom projects, props and functional parts.
Extruder
"Sprite" direct extruder with a 0.4mm nozzle, compatible with PLA, PETG and TPU (95A).
Leveling
CR Touch auto leveling plus an auto Z-offset strain sensor for consistent first layers.
Controls
32-bit silent mainboard, 3.2" color knob screen, SD card file transfer, power loss recovery.
Compatibility
Slices from Creality Print, Cura or Simplify3D on Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
Relax, let auto leveling do it
Leveling is the basis of print quality. The Ender-3 V3 SE features a CR Touch sensor for auto leveling and a strain sensor for auto Z-offset — no need to turn screws or pull a piece of paper. Just lie back and enjoy the print success.
The user interface comes to life
The UI adopts motion graphics to display the leveling process and other parameters, so you can tell how the printer is doing at a single glance — no digging through menus mid-print.
Auto filament loading and unloading
Tap "Extrude", and the filament flows out of the nozzle smoothly. Tap "Retract", and it exits quickly. Swapping colours or materials between classes takes seconds, not minutes.
Get printing started within 20 minutes
From unboxing to first print, most of the setup runs itself.
Assembly — 10 min*
A handful of screws and cable connections is all it takes.
Auto Leveling — 8 min*
CR Touch handles the bed leveling automatically.
Filament Loading — 2 min*
Tap "Extrude" and you're ready to send your first print.

An awesome 3D print will make your day
Direct extrusion, highly capable
The "Sprite" extruder of the Ender-3 V3 SE works well with PLA, PETG and flexible TPU, unlocking real creative potential. It's market-proven for its reliability too, with over 500,000 units shipped worldwide.
*Shipment data as of June 2023.
Stable enough for your best ideas
The rigid dual Z-axis reduces Z-wobbling. The Y-axis uses a pair of 8mm thick linear shafts made of strong, wear-proof steel, able to carry the build platform steadily for a lasting time. Together, they take good care of every print.
Print faster with laudable quality
Max printing speed 250mm/s*; max acceleration 2500mm/s²*.
1h 46min* at 50mm/s
