But we were also curious about how it performed in action, and the 3D print quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we ran several tests on our new Ender-3 V2 Neo, sometimes pushing it to the limit. We played around with its new features and tested its overall performance. Here\u2019s what we found out.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-baedfbf6 gb-grid-wrapper-08a7dd88\" id=\"product-pick-1col\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-098ec01d

One of the things you\u2019ll notice off the bat is that the Ender-3 V2 Neo comes pre-installed. All you have to do is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install the gantry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attach the filament rack<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All this can be done in 25 minutes, which is not bad for a printer of its capacity. Once we got the parts together, we shifted our attention to the newly added features.&nbsp;<\/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\/11\/2-Ender-3-V2-Neo-assembled.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo fully assembled\" class=\"wp-image-22069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-Ender-3-V2-Neo-assembled.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-Ender-3-V2-Neo-assembled-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-Ender-3-V2-Neo-assembled-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Ender-3 V2 Neo New Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>PC Spring Steel Magnetic Build Plate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This was one of the major improvements on the Ender-3 V2 Neo. Its build plate is removable, bendable, and made out of steel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom of the plate, there\u2019s a magnetic surface that helps it stick firmly to the print bed. On top, the build plate has a glossy, black coating of Polyetherimide (PEI). This material gave us great adhesion during all our printing, so we never needed any plate adhesive.&nbsp;<\/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\/11\/3-Ender-3-V2-Neo-magnetic-build-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo magnetic build plate\" class=\"wp-image-22059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-Ender-3-V2-Neo-magnetic-build-plate.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-Ender-3-V2-Neo-magnetic-build-plate-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-Ender-3-V2-Neo-magnetic-build-plate-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s so special about this type of build plate?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s detachable, the PC spring steel magnetic build plate has two major advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>It makes it easy to get your printed object off the bed<\/strong>. Once you\u2019re done printing, simply drag off the plate, bend it a little, and off goes your print. It\u2019s much better than a spatula because you won\u2019t damage your print bed surface with all the scraping, and you\u2019re far less likely to have your print stick too well and take a chunk out of your print bed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s easier to clean.<\/strong> You can quickly pop it off, clean it, dry it, and lay it back onto your print bed. If it were fixed in one place, you\u2019d have to be really careful not to get water into the crannies of the printer, and it\u2019d just be much more of a hassle to clean generally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\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\/11\/4-Ender-3-V2-Neo-build-plate2.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo build plate easy removal and cleaning\" class=\"wp-image-22058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/4-Ender-3-V2-Neo-build-plate2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/4-Ender-3-V2-Neo-build-plate2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/4-Ender-3-V2-Neo-build-plate2-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Bed Springs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below the print bed are four orange springs that let you manually adjust the bed surface.&nbsp;<\/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\/11\/5-Ender-3-V2-Neo-bed-springs.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo bed springs\" class=\"wp-image-22065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5-Ender-3-V2-Neo-bed-springs.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5-Ender-3-V2-Neo-bed-springs-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5-Ender-3-V2-Neo-bed-springs-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to previous Ender 3 printers, the Ender-3 V2 Neo\u2019s strings are stronger and more compact, so they won\u2019t buckle. Once they compress, they hold the position of the bed much better. And because they\u2019re flatter on top, you\u2019ll have a more leveled bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manually leveling your bed is tedious. So if your print bed remains in one flat position for long, you won\u2019t have to do it all the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Full Metal Bowden Extruder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender-3 V2 Neo\u2019s full-metal Bowden extruder offers greater durability, extrusion force, and smooth feeding and retracting of filaments. This is one of the features that pay off in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic Bowden extruders are okay. But if you\u2019re constantly using your printer, you\u2019ll need an extruder that will last.<\/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\/11\/6-Ender-3-V2-Neo-extruder.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo full metal bowden extruder\" class=\"wp-image-22060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-Ender-3-V2-Neo-extruder.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-Ender-3-V2-Neo-extruder-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-Ender-3-V2-Neo-extruder-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Model Preview&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender-3 V2 Neo may not have a touch screen display, but there\u2019s something to love about its user interface &#8211; the model preview function. It shows you a 3D colored image of what you\u2019re about to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comes in handy if you have a large collection of models but the names are difficult to discern the models from.<\/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\/11\/7-Ender-3-V2-Neo-model-preview.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo model preview\" class=\"wp-image-22063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-Ender-3-V2-Neo-model-preview.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-Ender-3-V2-Neo-model-preview-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-Ender-3-V2-Neo-model-preview-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To work the display, you have to rotate the knob, which takes you through the different options. To select an option, you push on the knob, which makes a rather loud popping sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it gets the job done, we still feel like Creality can do better with this knob. Most 3D printers in this price range, like the Anycubic Kobra, now use touchscreens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Other Ender-3 V2 Neo Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Build Volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender-3 V2 Neo has a 220 x 220 x 250 mm build volume \u2013 the same as the original Ender 3s. It can 3D print pretty much any size of object you expect from a desktop printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printing a small sculpture? You\u2019re covered. Want to print something sizable? Unless it\u2019s particularly large, you should be alright &#8211; but if it\u2019s particularly large like a cosplay helmet, you might want to consider the larger Ender 5 Plus (or brand-new Ender 5 Neo range!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, the bed surface is 235 x 235 mm, giving you more wiggle room to create slightly larger prints or to print multiple objects at a go. If you require more space on your build plate and you want to pick up an Ender 3 \u2013 a better option is the Ender-3 Max Neo with its 300 x 300 x 320 mm build volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed is important when it comes to 3D printing. It affects print quality and how much power and material you use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Creality, the Ender 3 V2 Neo prints optimally at around 60 mm\/sec. That&#8217;s not bad. But if you want to do things quickly, this printer can go all the way up to 120 mm\/sec.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that there\u2019s a trade off between speed and precision. As you increase your print speed, you might see a fall in the quality of your 3D object.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To test the Ender 3\u2019s print quality at higher speeds, we printed these two little sink drains at two different speeds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one on the left was done at 60 mm\/s and the other at 90 mm\/s. These were the results:<\/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\/11\/8-Ender-3-V2-Neo-printing-speed.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo printing speed\" class=\"wp-image-22056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/8-Ender-3-V2-Neo-printing-speed.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/8-Ender-3-V2-Neo-printing-speed-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/8-Ender-3-V2-Neo-printing-speed-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At 60 mm\/s, the print on the left turned out practically as perfect as can be. When we increased the print speed to 90 mm\/s, we noticed some slight stringing between the holes of the drain, but overall it was still a pretty solid print and still came out very circular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that wasn\u2019t enough, we wanted to know what happens when you crank up the print speed on the Ender-3 V2 Neo right to the top.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, we needed to know if there is a noticeable change in the print\u2019s quality as the print speed increases beyond what it\u2019s comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we brought out the classic speed test tower. In this test, the printer starts printing this model at a low speed and gradually increases print speed as it goes higher up the tower. For every 12.5 mm increase in height, the print speed increases by 20 mm\/s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started at 40 mm\/s at the base and ended at 120 mm\/s.<\/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\/11\/9-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-front.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo speed test tower front\" class=\"wp-image-22064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/9-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-front.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/9-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-front-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/9-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-front-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the quality of the print was consistent until around 100 &#8211; 120 mm\/s. At this printing speed, we notice some inconsistencies in the bonding between the layers, and some slight stringing starts. But still, it wasn\u2019t horrendous.<\/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\/11\/10-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-side.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo speed test tower side\" class=\"wp-image-22066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-side.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-side-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-Ender-3-V2-Neo-speed-test-tower-side-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Minimum Layer Height&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about layer height, we\u2019re referring to the thickness of each layer of extruded material. Layer height is important because the shorter the layer, the higher the precision in your object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you want the highest level of definition in your prints, try printing at the minimum layer height. The Ender-3 V2 Neo has a minimum layer height of 0.1 mm with the default being 0.2 mm, same as the original Ender range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we printed the halloween mini-pumpkin on the left at 0.1 mm, and the one on the right at 0.2 mm. This is what they looked like. <\/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\/11\/11-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo mini-pumpkin\" class=\"wp-image-22061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They look identical at first glance. But when you look closely, you\u2019ll immediately see the effects of layer height on the two prints. On the left halloween pumpkin, the layers are almost visible while the right one has a smoother texture to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though if we did this again, we would tweak the print settings to cover for the layer gaps and holes, you can clearly see from this layer height test that you get notably better results at 0.1mm, with less prominent layer lines \u2013 which the Ender 3 V2 Neo handles without too much issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this particular set of prints we had power outages unfortunately, which the Ender 3 V2 Neo recovered from owing to its power outage recovery features (discussed further in the next section!). The print quality would have been smoother without these issues most likely, and when it had an uninterrupted run, the print quality was high.<\/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\/11\/12-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-up-close.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo mini-pumpkin up close\" class=\"wp-image-22067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/12-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-up-close.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/12-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-up-close-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/12-Ender-3-V2-Neo-mini-pumpkin-up-close-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Resume Printing &#8211; Print Resume \/ Filament Run-Out Sensor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Worried about a sudden power outage? I have some good news for you. The Ender-3 V2 Neo has a resume printing function that allows you to get back to your printing in case of an interruption in power supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, many of the prints in this review were made during sporadic blackouts, but still completed the prints, without a large loss in quality (we\u2019d perhaps do some post-processing on these prints, but they still work as decorations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Creality Slicer Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ender-3 V2 Neo comes with a memory card loaded with the Creality Slicer program, the official slicer software made for every Creality printer ever made. We quickly installed it in a matter of minutes, and launched it to an interesting surprise.<\/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\/11\/13-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Slicer-Software.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo Slicer Software\" class=\"wp-image-22068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/13-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Slicer-Software.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/13-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Slicer-Software-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/13-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Slicer-Software-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve used Cura before, you\u2019ll notice that the Creality slicer software has a striking resemblance to Cura, and it\u2019s basically exactly the same to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creality Slicer lets you see a multi-angle view of your model by changing the angle of the bed to 3D view front, top, left, and right view. You can also rotate and move the model around the bed, scale it along the X, Y, and Z axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the slicer, you can also tweak the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rigid-ink\/3d-print-optimal-infill-settings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"13496\">settings for infill settings<\/a>, dual color printing, nozzle movement, slicer preview, and others.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a wave of inspiration, try the Creality Cloud plugin that comes with the slicer. There, we found tons of models that you can download, including TV characters, toys, famous architecture, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slicer supports several 3D file formats, such as STL, 3MF, AMF, and OBJ files that you can drag and drop into a neat user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Material Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a lot of the extrusion-type printers today, the Ender-3 V2 Neo\u2019s default filament is PLA. But it\u2019s also compatible with PETG and ABS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, you might want to use Creality filaments on their printers. A good example is this roll of 1.75 mm PLA that came with our printer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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\/11\/14-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Material-compatibility.jpg\" alt=\"Ender-3 V2 Neo Material compatibility\" class=\"wp-image-22062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/14-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Material-compatibility.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/14-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Material-compatibility-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/14-Ender-3-V2-Neo-Material-compatibility-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo impressed. It is what it claims to be: an updated version of the hugely successful Ender 3 that brings it in line with the new tech we have a few years on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t reinvent the wheel, but it\u2019s a solid low-cost 3D printer, that along with other printers we rate highly like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/anycubic-kobra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow
