In concluding the comparison between the Ender 3 V2 and Ender 3 V3 SE, both models from Creality offer unique strengths that cater to different user needs. The Ender 3 V2, released in 2022, is preferable for those who appreciate a hands-on approach, as its manual bed leveling process and DIY assembly can enrich the experience for enthusiasts willing to invest their time.
