For a bigger plate at the same speed

Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus

An open-frame FDM printer with CoreXZ kinematics, a 300 × 300 × 330 mm nominal build volume, and a top speed advertised at 600 mm/s.

In short The Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus is an open-frame filament (FDM) 3D printer with a 300 × 300 × 330 mm (11.8 × 11.8 × 13 in) build volume. Creality claims a 600 mm/s top speed, a 300 °C (572 °F) nozzle and a 100 °C (212 °F) bed; the printer measures 410 × 445 × 577 mm (16.1 × 17.5 × 22.7 in) and weighs 11.1 kg (24.5 lb).

Why consider it?

A much larger bed than the standard Ender-3 V3, with the same CoreXZ kinematics and dual Y-axis motors to keep the speed up.

What to verify

Open frame despite the larger footprint: no enclosure for ABS or ASA, and a bigger bed heats and stabilizes more slowly.

How much space does it need?

The Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus measures 410 × 445 × 577 mm (16.1 × 17.5 × 22.7 in) for a 300 × 300 × 330 mm (11.8 × 11.8 × 13 in) build volume: the dashed box is the printer, the solid cube the largest theoretical part, about 28% of the machine’s volume. Add room for the spool or multicolor unit, cables and ventilation.

Source: official Creality pages (creality.com), checked September 28, 2026. Manufacturer claims, not our measurements. Build volume is nominal: orientation, supports and reserved zones can reduce the usable space.

Which projects is it for?

The Ender-3 V3 Plus carries over the Ender-3 V3's CoreXZ kinematics but with a 300 × 300 × 330 mm nominal build volume per Creality, versus 220 × 220 × 250 mm on the standard version. It suits projects that need extra room: longer parts, batches of several objects on one plate, or prints that exceed a standard Ender-3's footprint.

Creality still advertises speeds up to 600 mm/s, driven by dual Y-axis motors and a die-cast aluminum alloy gantry, so the larger volume doesn't come at the cost of speed.

Materials and configuration

Like the Ender-3 V3, this version mainly documents Hyper PLA and standard PLA. The frame stays open despite the larger footprint, which doesn't change the recommendation: reserve ABS and ASA for enclosed machines rather than this model.

The WiFi module enables control through the Creality Cloud or Creality Print app, with remote monitoring and AI failure detection, though that doesn't replace a genuine thermal enclosure.

What the bundle includes or not

Creality's page emphasizes the footprint and frame rigidity (die-cast aluminum gantry) rather than a detailed box contents list. The exact accessories (plate, tools, test spool) should be checked on the retailer's listing before buying, since they can vary by offer.

Built-in real-time monitoring and time-lapse make it easier to keep an eye on long prints on a bed this size, a real practical advantage over the standard Ender-3 V3's smaller footprint.

Alternatives to compare

For a more compact footprint with the same architecture, the Ender-3 V3 is the most direct comparison. For an even larger volume in a CoreXY frame, the Ender-5 Max reaches 400 × 400 × 400 mm.

The large-format buying guide covers the criteria for choosing a printer this size, and the Creality page covers the rest of the manufacturer's lineup.

Frequently asked questions

What is the build volume of the Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus?

Creality lists a 300 × 300 × 330 mm (11.8 × 11.8 × 13 in) build volume (width × depth × height). That is the largest theoretical part size; supports, brim and orientation reduce the usable space.

How big is the Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus?

According to Creality, the Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus measures 410 × 445 × 577 mm (16.1 × 17.5 × 22.7 in) (width × depth × height) and weighs 11.1 kg (24.5 lb). Leave extra clearance for the spool, cables and airflow, and more if you add a multicolor unit.

How fast is the Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus?

Creality claims a top toolhead speed of 600 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s² acceleration. Real print times depend on the material, the profile and the part; this is a manufacturer figure, not our measurement.

Is the Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus enclosed?

No, it is an open-frame printer. It suits PLA and PETG; ABS and ASA are better handled by an enclosed machine. Its nozzle reaches 300 °C (572 °F) and its bed 100 °C (212 °F).

Does the Ender-3 V3 Plus keep the same speed as the standard V3?

Creality advertises the same 600 mm/s top speed despite the larger bed, thanks to dual Y-axis motors. The speed you can actually reach still depends on the filament and the model being printed.

Can you print ABS on this machine?

That's not the documented use case: the frame stays open despite the larger footprint, without the thermal conditions an enclosed chamber provides for regular ABS use.

What's the benefit over the standard Ender-3 V3?

The main benefit is volume, up to 300 × 300 × 330 mm versus 220 × 220 × 250 mm, for larger parts or several objects on one plate, with identical kinematics and advertised speed.
