The price isn’t the only winning thing about the Ender 3 V3 SE, though. This is a great budget 3D printer for beginners because it arrives almost completely assembled, and takes just a few minutes to set it up and get it ready for printing. It comes with premium-grade features, too, including auto bed leveling, a direct-drive extruder, and a 3-inch LCD screen.

The Creality Ender 3 V3 is a great 3D printer for budget creators. It delivers great auto bed leveling, a fast Klipper-based 3D printer, and it uses fully open source software, allowing the community to add and improve its toolset. It offers a 220 x 220 x 250mm build volume and allows for printing PLA / PETG and TPU via a strong direct drive extruder.

You’re getting a pretty fast printer here, too, with a maximum print speed of 250mm/s. It also has a build volume of 220 x 220 x 250mm, a pretty standard size that other rival printers have replicated. One compromise, however, is a lack of Wi-Fi, but it does come with an SD card, pre-loaded with models that you can try. If wireless support isn’t a concern.

A 3D printer requires filament to print with, but if you want a bundle, Amazon does have a second deal for you to consider. This Amazon combo features the same Ender 3 V3 SE printer but also includes a four-pack filament pack in black, white, red, and blue, all for just $209.89, saving you 25% overall.

Our Creality Ender 3 V3 SE review puts it clearly: this is a dream for beginners to get stuck in with. The price has always been appealing on this printer, but under $200 makes it a steal. The limited-time sale price of $186.15 makes this budget-friendly Ender 3 V3 SE a great option for a beginner or for an enthusiast looking for a second 3D printer but, if it runs out, or if you want a big stock of filament to get stuck in with, the $209.89 bundle is well worth considering, too.
