Howdy all, so I’ve been looking to buy a 3D printer for a while now and now that I’ve got some money for it, ive been looking at the Ender 3 V3 SE as it seems to be a good sub $300 printer from the reviews.

However, I’ve heard that there were some bed leveling issues with it after a firmware update and I’ve been trying to find information if this has beem fixed or not yet.

So to anyone that has an Ender 3 V3 SE, has this been resolved? Is it ongoing? If it is, I’ll likely buy something else as I’m just getting into 3D printing and I’d rather not tinker with it a ton.

    If OP can find a V3 KE for a decent price then you get filament runout sensor and network connectivity, among with some other nice stuff. And for the failed print detection you can add a Nebula camera which isn’t too expensive if you order it from Aliexpress. It also supports rooting so you can add some really nice stuff to it, like Mainsail. I have a KE and I’m pretty happy with it since I got it for a really good price. I don’t think I would recommend it at full retail price though.

      Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve got around $300 to spend so I’m a bit flexible in the budget. I’ll keep an eye out. Hoping to get a decent black Friday or cyber Monday deal.
