Ender 3 V3 Honest Review: Stunning Prints but Endless Frustrations!!! 😱🖨️ 

Your point about 3D printers being appliances that should work is very true, tinkering should improve, not fix.

The Ender 3 v3 isn't really a tinkerer's printer. All the things that made the original 3 and 3 pro tinkerers printers have been changed.

Can you try it with a different slicer then? Printers are not coupled to the slicer.

5:06, "according to reality" lol

This is 100% not an ender 3. This is a different printer with the ender 3 name slapped on it for brand purposes. It's not an iteration like the ender 3 v2 was, its a significantly different chassis. I don't think a new chassis from the ground up is *bad*, it just makes creality seem less reputable to try to sell it as a continuation of the e3 series. Did CREALITY put an MBA in charge of the company branding or something?

had one of those and now been using a Bambu P1S and I will never go back to a ender. I took this out of the box and made the best prints I have ever made by pressing print. More printing less tinkering.

I sold my Neptune 4 and bought the A1 Mini which I got today. It's so impressive how good this little machine prints compared to another "Modern" printers. I'm so happy with it.

Creality Slicer is, um, "not good" at best. Use Orca slicer, runs much better and slices very well. I look at my Ender 3 pro as the printer of Theseus - its got so few original parts on it that its not really an Ender 3 Pro anymore, but yet it is the same shape. Truly a tinker tool, but I agree with you - 3d printers are appliances now and should just work.

The reference to Need for Speed: Underground 1 & 2 with the music at 0:31 is fantastic!

First rule of 3d printing: NEVER USE OEM SLICER. Period. The only exception is bambulab, though they use (and contribute) Orca. In any other case use Prusha or Orca. AFAIR creality slicer is just branded outdated cura, which sucks. So try Orca.

Bruh! You put popcorn in the microwave for 5 minutes?! 😂 lol great video and review 😄👍🏻

I have an ender 3 v1 and at the beginning it gave me a lot of problems, it printed badly, it stopped without warning. And it turned out that it was the slicer, after a while they updated CURA and now it prints very well.

the OG 3 etc needed tinkering to get to run anywhere near decently, got an A1 Mini and never looked back at Creality, it's just so effortless

I'm curious if you would have better luck with Prusa Slicer. I use that with my CR-10 and it is significantly better than creality slicer. Still doesn't work near as well as my P1S but definitely better.

Hello. Please tell me, to create models, I need a special program (3d max, Maya), and after making a model in 3d max, I send the file to the printer, right? I have a problem, my laptop is weak for 3d max, in this case I could not make objects for the printer myself, and I can only take ready-made files somewhere? how does it usually work?)

as a person that started their 3d printing life with creality, this brings back so many memories. My ender was always plagued with issues. about half the time, it printed ok, the rest of the time it would fail midway. Which was especially frustrating on a very long print and it fails half way through. Now that ive upgraded to an x1c, sometimes when i hear an unusual sound coming from it, i get that ptsd of another potential failure lol my old ender is extremely quiet but still to this day even with all the upgrades and mods to it, the prints still only come out okay

I would say that exactly same is happening to my friend. 2 years he is trying to fine tune his Ender 5, still with no success. Everytime he gets new issue. I told him that I would like to buy 3D printer and he still recommends Ender 3 to me :-D ...I have bought Bambu Lab A1 Mini and after few months it is just printing and printing. It is SO realible and awesome little machine. I am so glad that I have paid a bit more money for it. He is still ordering some parts and fideling with the printer and I do not have to bother at all with my Bambu Lab.

Thank you! I was about to buy one (Emphasis on was)

Is it better than the neptune 4 max? *(...Does the Elegoo fail consistently around a certain build height?)

I had an ender 3 v2 and a flashforge adventurer 4. I tinkered the hell out of that ender and most of the time it just sat their cause there was something wrong with the config or something, so I mostly used the flashforge. Then Bambu came out and it's been my go-to printer since because it just works and always has good quality. I ended up putting the ender back to stock and it was printing good but then the nozzle got clogged and I was basically done at that point with it, so it is now living in the basement with a clogged nozzle. The flashforge ended up getting a new firmware and it crashed really hard so now I have to redo the calibration; square the gantry and I also don't want to deal with that so it's also in the basement.

Everytime at the same hight, maybe ur printer is just broken, does another one had similar issues?

what if you sliced everything in prusa would it still give you so much problems?

I tried to look before asking this, DO THEY STILL USE THOSE SHOTTY PUSH FITTINGS FOR THE BOWDEN TUBE? I was going to sell an original fitting kitt but it didn't get advertised so nothing happened.

I have a V1 Ender 3 for about two years, it's my only printer and I absolutely hate it. The homing of a Z axis works so bad that I have to adjust babystep Z literally every print and than chek if the first layer sticks to the bed. Sometimes I start a print but while homing one of the axis doesn't recognize it's zero position and motor just keeps turning trying to go into negative numbers. I'm always so angry doing anything with that printer.

What slicing software did you use? Edit: OK you used creality. Wonder if you used another slicer software if it'd help.

What slicer did you use for this printer if you were using any of Creality’s slicers that is most likely issue. They are a piece of crap switching to orca slicer for me. Gives me such cleaner results on all of my Creality printers

Oh hey btw... I got an Ender 3 Neo recently! 😄 ... Seriously though, I agree, Creality is a really temperamental printer. I've had to replace a few things in the first month just to get a solid print. Now after taking a few hours to 100% ensure the bed was level and I wasnt having any E-step issues Im actually getting good prints. Interesting that you're having issues with "Creality Slicer", I've been using it for months without issues. Oddly enough I've been having major issues with "Creality Print", Prusa, Bambu and a few others with them full on removing several layers in the slicing for no apparent reason, which sounds similar to your situation.

Use orca slicer and bump your temp up 5-10 degrees so the filament can keep up.

I got an ender 3 v3 corexz recently and did not experience this. I’ve printed a few tall models. The only issue I have is the bed is severely warped. I put my glass bed on it and that fixed the problem.

At first I was thinking "well obviously the a1 is much older and it's gotten updates it needs....but it's not, it's pretty close to the same release date. That being said, I recently got a v3 plus and it's printed fine so far (did have a software update). but i've printed at full speed and some at low speeds to test quality. No issues so far.(minus the stupid creality cloud printing the full 'mat' of skirting by default). I actually had a position error twice and just re-sliced it and it worked, once was with a benchy so it leads me to the same conclusion that it's software related. I'm making a semi-custom profile in other slicers to see what can be tweaked, but i've already had bad experiences w/ the creality slicer so I only got it because there's no default profile in orca/cura. I am potentially going to grab a k1 max or maybe a k2, but i'll wait a few months after release to gauge if it's worth the upgrade.

I just finished reading Earth unaware. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the Ender books.

I have a Ender 5 Plus and its a giant paper weight after fitting a duff BTT E3v3 board and screen. Ive tried, the shop tried and still it buries the nozzle into the bed as it forgets where its nozzle is at random times destroying nozzles and pei beds quicker than you can hit stop. I do like Creality though (even though they sent the wrong silent board when i went that way.) Their Efit extruder and spider hotend saved my Kingroon KP3S. I recommend that upgrade.

take a look at the specs on your filament and the print speed the creality slicer is using. The defaults are in the 200 to 300 mm/s range, most filaments are rated for slower speeds than that, typically 30 to 90 mm/s. Slow it down. That clicking sound when it skipped is the filament jammed in the feed.

What slicer and printer profile did you use? Oh, you said creality slicer. You should try it with orca slicer and use a better profile to see how it does as a comparison

COuld you investigate the problem with the printer. I have comgrow t500 that prints half and then randomly stops working just like your ender 3 v3.

What are the drawer toppers you have for you Bambu printers?

I got my first 3d printer a few months ago. Was a gift for my 40th birthday (yeah I'm officially old now). The 3 options I was considering within the price range of the gift budget were the Ender 3 V3 SE, ANYCUBIC Kobra 2 Neo, and the BIQU B1 (non-pro). I ended up leaning toward the BIQU B1, and so far I have been quite happy. I do wish I had had a bit more budget, though, because it basically has zero fancy.

I know and understand your frustrations, I'm not defending Creality but have you tried updating the firmware? the printer is a few months old and I assume a small community on Reddit or FB has formed around that can help you fix the problem with the "flying gauntry". If it's software issue have you tried using other slicers?

Have an Ender 3 V3 SE as a first 3d printer. Used creality print in the beginning and had intermittent issues as well. Switched over to Cura and havent had any issues there after. Layers are solid, no lifting or warping even on TPU. The biggest issue like most says is the creality print software.

I also have an ender 3 (s1 pro) and yeah i had to work out a few bugs in the slicer first too, also had to buy a different sd card for doing spiral mode prints as the 8gb one they included was the reason it would freeze up for a second every couple layers. but other than that it seems to be working good with the newest slicer version. Also cant help wonder whats going on with your PEI bed sheets?? i have never had them go all ikky looking like that before aye. mine still look brand new after about 200 prints, well except for when i tried to print a small test bunny using nylon weed trimmer cord at stupid temps hahaha

I learned to print on an OG ender 3 with an 8-bit main board. I still use it to this day. I'm going to get an A1 mini. Looks like a good quality printer.

I will keep an eye out for your Snapmaker 3D printer review in the future.

This video reflects my feelings for the most part. I love tinkering, figuring out how something works, making it work better, but at some point my 3D printer is just part of the process for another project. It should not become a project in itself unless I make it.

I started out a tinkerer with a tronxy x3 for a couple hundred bucks and probably have $1,000 worth of parts in it by now and one day I just got tired of chasing problems and bought an X1C and couldn't be more thrilled. Now the only tinkering I do is dialing in engineering grade filaments and I just print stuff.

My greatest concern in choosing a printer has been which Materials will print well ? I started using it for different projects that need different properties. So needle heating bed heating and accessories becomes super important.

I got gifted a Cobra Go as my introduction to 3D printers when a friend found out I could CAD. Learning experience, and a very inconsistent one. I spent more time trying to figure out how to make it work than I did on the CAD work, slicing, and printing several times over. Either everyone was simply getting "perfect results" with it and not sharing their settings, or asking what the ideal settings were like me. To this I came to the conclusion nobody wants to share their settings because that's just more competition for selling 3D printed products. So I began looking for alternatives that were Out-of-the-Box consistent and it was almost always Bambu being mentioned as the defacto standard there. I may try others, but only if they review as consistent OotB results.

I wonder if the motor drive overheat and stop pushing filament then restart later when cooled, clearly a design problem there !!! But seem to stop at a certain height, a bad unit maybe !!

Try this (it works for me) . When you print tall items put a plastic bag over it. it keeps the heat in and lets the plastic stick. or raise the room temp.

The random spaghetti was an issue i ran into with the e3 s1. It would just get to a random point in the print and skip a layer in the gcode for no reason. I also thought it was the software but still ran into the same issue with other slicers. Also switched to using kepler, same issue. Never could figure out the cause. Switched to the p1s and never looked back.

Is your filament dry? Too much moisture and it snaps like that. Dry it will bend.

so you got a bad apple. i got my ender 3 ve neo i unpacked assembled it and used it 1-2 clogs and some bed adhesion isue .... but nothig mayor. after about 5 rolls of filamentson that printer. ( mostly pla . some petg and tpu )

I've got to wonder if there isn't a massive software issue here as it seems to crap the bed at the same place on every one of those prints. I'd give cura or prusaslicer a go to see if it's just a software nightmare happening.

Wow, the jam is unfortunate. I've been running my Prusa Mk3 since 2017 and have only had to perform a cold pull to clear a jam once. Ever.

I went from an Anycubic Vyper to the Bambu X1-C, which made me a Bambu fanboy in less than 24 hours. I really liked my Vyper, but it's hilarious to watch how anemic it looks while printing next to the X1-C. I also didn't like Bambu studio compared to Cura at first, but now my opinion has totally inverted. At this point, Creality has a long way to come in order to stay competitive in my book.

I got my first printer as a cheap 3D printer on sale (renkforce RF100) and it always just kinda worked, I just replaced the heatbrake, nozzle and heater block for better performance, but I never really had any issues with it, and that machine is a few years ol now(altho neat heavily used) and the only issue I have with my anycubic is with the PEI build plate and getting all the belts and speeds tuned in right, but once it's running it just works so frankly, kind of surprised how bad creality appears to be, a sample size of 2 is not much, but 2 out of 2 is still a 100% failure rate especially if china just copies their stuff and it just works on that note, why don't you just replace the mainboard in that ender 7?

I've been using an ender 3 s1 for a couple years of medium use, and it has been amazing! I got a v3 se and for the first couple weeks the speed and quality were impressive for the price, after that honeymoon period it was painful! I returned it since the fan bearings went, linear rails were sloppy, and the temperature was all over the place! My ol' S1 may not be the fastest or fanciest, but that thing chugs out prototypes day in, day out

I fully understand where you are coming from, I just got my P1S with AMS yesterday as my replacement for my OG ender 3 and I have pumped out 12 prints already, 10 cardboard spool rings and my first 2 multi color prints, I can't express just how insainly wonderful it feels being able to just hit print and have everything work. it was worth every cent so far But I am NOT throwing out my ender 3, I do like tinkering, it's just that that printer was too much tinkering. I have plans to make it a PET bottle filiment maker! (CNC Kitchen has a video on it)

Happens to me very often the first time I bought this printer. Using Orca Slicer and making it print slower works for me.

I got a ender3S1 quite some time ago and I had minor issues just because I had very little experience with it, the printer itself works very well in my opinion, as for the slicer I use the Prusa one

GIVE ME THE ENDER 7!!!! I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE IT PROPERLY!!!!

I bought the ender 3 v3 se. Its my first printed and just worked Fantastic out of the box. I do use cura for my slicer. I'm printing at 200mm/ ps It was only $250AU so about $170usd

I have a suggestion that may be somewhat problematic without printing adapters, and will certainly not be cheap unless you can get manufacturers to send you their fans. Take the prop of the NF-A12x25 and use it on the motor+frame in place of other companies' fan props.

so i bought the Ender 3 S1 Pro last year and i am very happy although i have upgraded it with a klipper pad so it can go brr and is not stuck at ~70mm/s max printing speed (for my initial testing) I would say its the last printer from the Ender 3 series with of the shelf hardware for the hotend which in my eyes is a huge benefit. EDIT: i never used the creality slicer since cura is basically the same. been using orcaslicer ever since

i think the suspended falcon failed at the same spot in both size is a cooling issue. let me explain: insufficient cooling can cause overhangs to curl up, and if the print head goes over such area, the stepper motor can skip a step. on a "regular" bedslinger, this would cause a layer shift, but on a coreXZ machine the skipping happens diagonally instead of horizontally. this causes the print head to move on the Z axis too, and the distance will be too much for the upcoming layers to be able to stuck to the ones below= spagetti creator. if the machine would have a step loss detection, as a bambu machine does, this wouldn't have happen.

The failure due to hotend jam after a certain height could indicate a "heat creep" issue, which may be caused by a broken or disconnected hotend fan failing to cool the hotend heat-sink. Now I'm curious to look at other reviews of this machine and see where it succeeds and where it falls down on user satisfaction. Admittedly we all have a lot to do in the open source firmware community to make sure that common printing issues are at least understandable, if not recoverable.

Got an Ender 3 Max Neo that arrived 2 weeks ago. First print was the calibration cube and it printed 75%... Yeah, I wasn't happy about that. Following day I adjusted my printing temp and got a smooth print. Ever since I've moved on to a different slicing software cuz in all honesty, there are no options in Creality's software for adjustments or anything that seemed obvious to me at the time to make my life easier. Also their supports are horrendous as I had issues removing it from my prints, wasting even more filament than necessary due to breaking parts because of the finer details and intricacies of prints. I've been using Orca slicer on Linux, and haven't had issues since, except for a few prints not adhering to the bed, but there I messed up, so for me the experience with my Ender 3 Max Neo has been working as expected. For a beginner it's been quite a good experience despite the fears I initially had. But again, don't use Creality's slicer, it's not worth it

Whats weird is that the height seems to be the same on all the prints that failed.

I feel like we need to know if the new msi fan was based of Thomas's design

My Ender 5 printed fantastic models, when it printed, but it finished about 1 in 20 prints without error which is awful. The design was flawed from the start. I spent so much time trying to improve that printer to make it reliable but in the end, I sacked it and bought an Ender 3 S1 which has been faultless. I was looking at upgrading again to a bambu labs P1P or X1C but until my S1 fails or is printing 24/7 I don't "need" faster speeds or greater reliability.

I have a k1 max ( more build space and I didn't like the bambo poop) and I use the creality slicer, because now that I am use to it I hate change :P but besides once in awhile freezing up/crashing it slices shit just fine for me..

Those problems seem to be an slicer issue with this printer. I bought one yesterday, yes YESTERDAY. Obviously i still haven't used it enough, but I printed a sink caddy 15cm tall with no issues. I'm using creality slicer until the others have a profile for this printer. I'll be testing OrcaSlicer too Nice prints everyone

Tbh same My first printer was a giant bed slinger from this one noname brand and it was absolute trash - layer shifts, a lot of spaghetti, motors reversed after software reset I did to get it's version of bl touch working, the bl touch calibration not levelling the bed, filament feeders constantly breaking and slipping, the extruder jamming all the time unfixably etc. And then I decided to get a bambu lab printer. And it just prints, rarely fails and works. And this is coming from a linux main who tinkers with stuff all the time, just 3d printers are annoying to screw with

The problem with the ender 3 is that I don't want to need to customize a printer I want it to come with the best stuff on it from the start. It shouldn't change the price as much as they try to charge for the upgraded version though.

Could you make an impeller fan for a pc fan?

There's an Ender 3 v2 in boxes next to me for the same reasons you mentioned: I had to tinker/fix it all the time, and it still failed a bunch of times. That's why I'm saving up for a P1P.

I have an ender 3 in my closet that I am saving for spare parts maybe one day. Worked ok for a week or so. I say ok because I always had to make sure the print was going to stick on the first layer. But after a while, I started getting spaghetti piles. So I ended up throwing it out the back door on the concrete patio. I picked it up later and put it in the closet because it has stepper motors on it that may be useful one day on a project. Kind of ruined the 3d printer thing for me.

the farther you get away from the bed the colder the plastic is and the new layer is to cold to bond . my final solution was to use the case off a XYZ printer over the printer and raise the nozzle temp. just like the rest of your printers that have houses around to keep the heat in.

I still have an OG Ender 3. Every time I use it, I think maybe I'm just awful at 3d printing. I sure have learned all the ways to fix a 3d printer, how a print can fail, and what to look for if I ever get a new one. At least 90% of the time I have with this printer is just fiddling with settings and accessories and new parts.

Also, not a fan of Creality. I bought a Creality brand enclosure for my laser engraver and compared to a generic enclosure for my resin printer, it sucks. The bottom is open. It's for a LASER ENGRAVER? WTH?

the creality slicer is a very old version of cura i believe. up to date cura, prusa, or even bambu studio would probably do a lot better

Hi, I have an Ender 3 V3 as well and I never use the Creality Print slicer, I use Orca Slicer with a profile I made up myself. I have very few problems with print quality or failures. Because it is a bed slinger, I limit the speed and acceleration to 150mm/s and 2500 mm/s/2, respectively. The bed moving backward and forward will cause problems and the taller the print is the more problems it'll cause. I was planning on trying to make faster profiles but I like the speed things run at now considering the consistent print quality I get. If you want a copy of my Orca slicer settings/profile I can upload it for you

The first print in my opinion likely the center portion broke loose from the bed. This can happen when you are moving too fast with not enough surface area. This is an example where you either need to slow the speed down or add a raft to it. The other failed print is probably also printing a bit too fast. To print fast you need really good bed adhesion and surface area helps, but you also need to fine tune the exteuder output. If you are printing too fast and the exteuder is extruding more than it should it will be an issue, you may need to back the extrusion percentage down a little bit. Just my experience on the topic. It can happen on any printer. I agree an appliance is a good way to think of them but you still tweak things while cooking with your microwave cooking times. Not every printer has the exact settings they need out of the box unfortunately, i have played with many different brands. Sometimes a few small changes in the slicer is all it takes to fix them, but you have to know what to tweak. Not defending any printer either, i just have played enough to recognize symptoms sometimes.

Knock on wood, I've had my V2 for I think going on 3 years now and I've done zero tinkering with it. The only issue I have with it, which has me in the market for a new 3d printer, is the print speed. 50mm/s just doesn't cut it on a big print. Started printing terrain for table top and stopped really quick when I realized 1 piece of terrain is 3 or 4 parts, and each part will take around 48 hours to print. That being said about having no issues with my V2, I'm still leaning toward a Bambu. The issue though, is that the V3 is just at such a good price point for those print speeds. If I wanted to go with a Prusa or Bambu with that build plate size, I'd be paying more than double.

Although I do love to tinker, when the printer decides when you have to it's a problem. Had 2 Ender3's the orig & the v2, & like you said when it printed w/o mistakes it was great, but the time lost & cost of things failing all the time- I finally said enough was enough. I have used some others too but not a Bambu Lab. I Replaced it with an Elegoo Neptune. It's like night & day- been printing virtually non-stop, for almost a yr & a half. I had 3 errors, all 3 were my fault, & their fantastic tech support had me up in running in minutes. The one time something actually broke bad, they AIR-SHIPPED a replacement part that was @ my door in under 14 hrs. They have an entire YT channel of most any problem you might have for general use. It just works, & more importantly- it works when you want it to.

I mean.. if its a slicer issue, change slicers? I have probably the most flawless ender 3 and have had it since release, lucky me but I've been using orca slicer for the past year and the difference in quality is amazing. Also I wouldn't buy a creality printer over a bambu labs price, certainly never the V3 Lastly, what kinda of sweet torture have you put your beds through to get it looking like that?

ive had an ender 3, and ender 5, and others. but i've also had a p1p for a year now and the thought of purchasing a creality printer over a bambu printer at the same price point just sounds ludicrous.

starter 3, elegoo neptune pro is a better 3. large models can have bending differences on the edges. feed rate variability can be an issue. if you need an accurate print result. seems like z-height skew issue. yep the wire feeder mechanism is usually very unreliable. would explain most of the issues. sometimes jams sketches out. use ultimaker cura instead but thats not the issue. its the hardware. its the gear wire grabber that makes the most worst issues. hardware is not robust in general. its like a cheap solder, you can do basic things but it ends there. Schrodinger's object, maybe there, not always, flickering.

Did ya notice they all failed at about the same point? Once the head gets above a certain distance over the print head it fails. I'd seriously consider that it _might_ be hardware.

It should have LINEAR RAILS on the X axis for this kind of speed. I think that is the problem.

Seems like the Ender 3 V3 bugs out after a certain height. The dragon that it was able to complete was below the height everything else bugged out at.

I started 3D printing with a Prusa Mk3, which was later upgraded to the Mk3S. So Prusa slicer was my software of choice. I later picked up a CR-10S that I highly customized and finally a K1. The Prusa still has the best print quality out of the bunch. The other 2 have been dialed in quite a bit, but still not quite as good. I used Prusa slicer for all 3, cause like you mentioned the Creality slicer is HOT GARBAGE... I would also think that you might be having trouble with the E3 V3 hot end. It looks just like the K1 design and I had to upgrade it as the one it came with started doing exactly like yours where it would not finish any prints. So it might be something with the extruder.

That's really weird... mines been flawless. Building it was a pain because one of my plugs had a loose pin but after it was together its been great, easiest printer I've used even with Creality's slicer and default profiles. I've tried everything from small prints to some that utilise the whole volume, print in place, friction fit, It hasn't slipped up yet . I've even had decent results from high speed prints using cheapo PLA (minus overhangs). Things I found: Pros: Fast Reliable Set and forget Cons: I dont like the PTFE getting crushed Loading filament can sometimes be painful Its Loud... Like Really Loud

I've had my A1 mini for 2 weeks, I haven't been able to make one successful print on it... I'm having the exact same issues with the A1 mini that your Creality Ender 3 V3 has... BTW I don't have an Ender so this isn't me having Bias...

Just a couple of weeks ago I was at Microcenter discussing with my brother how we should get a 3D printer for the house because at this point they were practically appliances like a Microwave. This video kinda pushes that point home. They're an old technology now that should "just work" and any product in this space that doesn't is just kinda... bad.

I've only had experience with the cheaper V3 SE, but I have to say I've had that for 5 or 6 months and I've had no problems with it whatsoever. My Sovol SV06 on the other hand has been a massive pain in the bum since I got it.

I thought it was me. I have 2 CR-10SEs and a 3V3. I regret getting the 3V3. I cant seem to get it to print anything but PLA. I was told by another channel that I need to spend more time with it. Why? My CR-10SEs printed, right out of the box. I wish I could trade it in for another CR-10SE. Thanks for showing your true experiences.

I have been a fan for a long time 😂, im currently designing and printing propeller blades for drones. I think a more accurate printer is key. But i would like to send you my current version of the print. Im looking at lift and low power consumption.

3D printers are still a long way from being appliances like other devices. Sure the Bamboo machines will mostly work fine for a while but problems will always eventually appear. It will be many years, if ever, before they are reliable like a laser paper printer for example that can run for years with zero maintenance. Bamboo support and parts availability is far better than most though. They have good guides for common repairs and parts are easily available in most regions. With Creality you have always been on your own, and you might be able to buy some parts from a retailer if you are lucky, though it is getting better with their newer and more expensive machines. The Creality machines do have good communities around them and can normally be pretty easily repaired with common off the shelf parts though. Crealities biggest sin is the way they will orphan a machine if it isn't popular enough or they move on to a different design, much like with the Ender 7. The E3 V3 runs that risk. We will have to see how Bambu does in that regard in a few more years as they are still pretty new to the game and haven't even had a model go end of life yet.

Why is your old filament sitting out? No wonder it's brittle

You’re running the ender too fast, but yeah their software and firmware suck. You can use the bamboo, Prusa, or cura Slicers for free
