It&#8217;s up to you to decide which aligns best with your requirements and 3D printing aims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender 3 is a solid pick for a first printer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s less barebones than the Creality CR-10, and it has a great stack of features for the price with plenty of scope for upgrades but at a cost to overall build volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also more affordable than the CR-10, even in its best-yet V2 iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need plenty of build volume, the Creality CR-10 is the best choice here. The Creality CR-10 V3, in particular, is the culmination of the CR-10&#8217;s long journey: a superb extruder, a sturdy frame, a carborundum glass bed, and ever-surprisingly good print quality for the price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generalities aside, let&#8217;s see how the two compare when we look at specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creality-ender-3-vs-creality-cr-10-head-to-head-comparison\">Creality Ender 3 vs Creality CR-10 &#8211; Head-to-Head Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-build-volume\">Build Volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Large build volumes can be costly, but with the Creality CR-10, they&#8217;ve become as affordable as other budget 3D printers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creality CR-10 (including the V2 and V3) offers a 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume, while the Ender 3 (once again in all its iterations) sticks to a standard 220 x 220 x 250 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CR-10-build-volume.jpg\" alt=\"The CR-10 build volume shown on the CR-10 V3\" class=\"wp-image-15687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CR-10-build-volume.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CR-10-build-volume-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CR-10-build-volume-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers speak volumes here, and the Creality CR-10 is great for makers with plans to print larger parts and models. Creality cranks things up with the V2 and V3 models with the &#8216;gold triangle&#8217; design mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extra support rods beef up the frame to reduce potential unwanted movement when the extruder runs along the Y-axis, even when pushing to the upper limits of the build volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creality CR-10 takes the lead here, but only if you need the extra print space. Otherwise, the Ender 3&#8217;s build volume is standard fare and should cover daily printing nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: CR-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-print-plate\">Print Plate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of build plate variety among all the available Ender 3 and CR-10 models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vanilla Ender 3 features a heated magnetic BuildTak-style print bed. It does the job but may require drafting in some adhesive help such as glue, slurry, or sticky tape for the best results.&nbsp;The Ender 3 Pro levels up to a&nbsp; textured C-MAG magnetic plate, a significant advantage over the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender 3 V2 takes it one step further, fitting in a tempered carborundum glass platform, the best of the bunch for adhesion and easy print removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ender-3-print-plate.jpg\" alt=\"The Ender 3 magnetic print plate\" class=\"wp-image-15688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ender-3-print-plate.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ender-3-print-plate-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ender-3-print-plate-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping to the Creality CR-10, the basic model has a rudimentary heated glass plate, while the V2 and V3 jazz things up with a carborundum glass plate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the Ender 3 Pro and V2, the improved glass plate does wonders for adhesion and print removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the two printers are roughly on par with one other in each category. Due to the size of the CR-10&#8217;s plate, it takes longer to reach the optimum printing temperature than the smaller Ender 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reasonable trade-off for the extra print volume, but a point to keep in mind if you&#8217;re working with ABS or prefer a quick heating bed. Creality replaces the 12V PSU for a 24V Mean Well unit in the CR-10 V2 and V3, which does help with heating speeds and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: Draw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-material-compatibility\">Material Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both printers\u2019 filament compatibility covers your generic 3D printing materials, namely PLA, ABS, TPU, PETG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both machines fare best when working with PLA and produce decent print quality using TPU and PETG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABS is somewhat of a mixed bag, chiefly due to the lack of an enclosed chamber \u2013 a crucial piece of the ABS puzzle for keeping a steady toasty ambient temperature \u2013 on both the Ender 3 and CR-10.

The CR-10 V3 features a 24V Mean Well PSU, so look to that model if you need that extra power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the CR-10 PSU exists outside the frame, so factor this into the printer&#8217;s already sizable physical footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Ender 3 and CR-10&#8217;s standard Creality extruder gets the job down, notwithstanding the occasional longevity issue due to some plastic construction, we&#8217;re partial to the workhorse characteristics of the all-metal direct drive E3D Titan extruder on the CR-10 V3.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No clear winner here, as each has its flaws.
