Creality Ender-3 V3 KE and Ender-3 V3 SE: upgrades that fit

Their makers document the same parts for both models, so they share this page. If your printer has a modified hotend, extruder, or bed, check with the part’s maker before buying.

Filament notes for the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE and Ender-3 V3 SE
Start with Best Filament for the Creality Ender-3 V3, V3 SE, V3 KE, V3 Plus and V4 (2026), which covers what these printerscan and can’t print according to the maker.
Both use 1.75 mm filament. Every spool in our filament shortlists is 1.75 mm, but check the exact listing before you buy. The stock extruder is direct drive, which generally handles flexible filament more easily than a Bowden setup. Automatic material systems are a separate constraint.
