Creality Ender 3 V3 KE review
The Ender 3 with Klipper firmware and a 300 °C hotend bolted on. Four times the speed of the original for barely more money.
Best for: A cheap, fast, no-nonsense second printer.
What we like
- Klipper speed at Ender money
- 300 °C hotend handles more materials
- Wi-Fi and camera support
What we don't
- Open frame
- Creality's Klipper fork is locked down
- Fans are loud

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a headline number no printer sustains across a whole part — treat it as a ceiling, not a throughput estimate.
