I'm glad I was able to visit it just in time!

Well, I guess they are taking it down :(

After watching some of the videos, here's my take (for me):
Smaller than I expected
I guess it's "easy cheap entry level multi-color printing"... but since mulit-color never really resonates with me, I'm kinda "meh" about it. (especially since the color-swaps can add so much time to a print)...
It's crazy to see how many videos came out today from popular 3D printing youtubers that clearly already had one of the units (and must have signed NDA's not to say a word until today).
It's funny because one youtuber that is pretty popular is also kinda anti-bambu, and he's been putting out...
Ok it's here!!!
Assembly was super fast / easier. More than any of the other Creality printers I've had!
Bed leveling was insanely easy:
... and I appreciate I can choose not to do it for future prints unless I want to re-calibrate / level.
I was very surprised and bummed that there wasn't...
I'm so confused.
I don't know why Creality needs like 20 versions of the Ender 3?!?!?
So, I guess the upcoming "Ender 3 V3" is different from the "Ender 3 V3 SE"?
I think they need to:
1) Simplify their offerings
and/or
2) Improve their naming convention
Yup, I've heard this about a lot of the corexy "fast" printers... that pretty much all of them need CRAZY cooling to firm-up that large amounts of molten plastic coming out fast.
I've read this too. I like the idea of multi-color/material, but do I use it enough to justify the added cost and...
Well guys, while I figure out if I want to eventually try a core-XY printer, I pulled the trigger on getting the new Ender-3 V3 SE!
It was just too tempting at $195 not to give it a try... especially since I've always wanted to try auto-bed-leveling and direct-drive extruder.
... but now that...
I just got a few of these in different sizes (.6 and .8) to give them a test on my CR-10... just not sure when I'll get around to actually playing-with / testing them.
I've been meaning to do this for a while and just got to it thanks to this video:
Jyers was great, but no new updates.... and a LOT of people keep talking about how much the like this "mriscoc Professional Firmware"

I found this article helpful...
I'm really enjoying getting (SLOWLY) slightly better at OnShape. I still very much wish all the years I had put tons of time into learning and getting better at tinkercad I would have put into learning and becoming better at parametric design, specifically onshape.
I recently stumbled on this...
@Redbrickman lots of really good points, thanks!!
In fact, I just watched this video before reading your reply and it's reminding me of a lot of the pros of a "bedslingers".
Ya, most people I've read/heard from love their Bambu printers. They aren't perfect, but I've been surprised at how much...
I totally get the pros of a Voron, but I'm just not interested in getting that deeply embedded into such a DIY project. I'm at the point where buying a fast machine that just works out of the box is appealing to me.
I've mentioned my interest in the "newer" high-speed CoreXY printers, for example:
Bambu Labs X1 / P1S
Creality K1
Qidi X-MAX 3
etc.
They all seem to have various pros/cons. I like how https://auroratechchannel.com/ has rated some of these printers, and think these factors are pretty important...
Oh wow, so you got one? SUPER curious what your experience will be with it!!!
I'm tempted to swap-out my Ender 3 V2 and get one, but I really need to be patient and move to a core xy printer.
Awesome!
Have you ever had any issues with the PLA going bad / brittle on the spool over time?
I've been reading / seeing videos about the Creality Ender-3 V3 SE
https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/ender-3-v3-se-3d-printer
The specs look really good, and the price (anywhere from $199 - $220) is incredible.
I think I paid $250 for my Ender-3 V2 and felt like that was a great...
I wonder what would happen if you masked-off the letters and used black spray-paint to cover the print?
Another idea: Use the exact same design, but print a 2mm layer in black with the letters as "holes" and slip it over the top?
