[Connect the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo to SimplyPrint, free](https://simplyprint.io/setup-guide/creality/ender-3-v4) · [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/simplyprint-3d/id1519749400) · [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplyprint.appdev) [SimplyPrint's print farm software for Creality](https://simplyprint.io/print-farms/creality) ## Automate the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo **Bed slingers are the easiest to automate.** The Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead. For example: [JobOx](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/jobox), [swapmod](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/swapmod). ### Ways to automate it - [Push prints off with the toolhead](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/push-off): On a bed slinger, a G-code routine can sweep the cooled print off the bed before the next job starts. - [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print. - [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/api): Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system. - [Clear it by hand, keep the queue](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job. [How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 220 x 220 x 235 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 220 x 220 mm - Max print height: 235 mm ### Printing - Enclosure: Open frame - Motion system: Bed slinger - Max print speed: 500 mm/s - Max extruder temperature: 300 °C - Has heated bed: Yes - Max bed temperature: 100 °C - Number of nozzles: 1 - Toolheads: 1 - Direct drive: Yes - Probing tool / Auto Bed Leveling: Yes - Filament width: 1.75 mm ### Multi-material - Ships with multi-material: Creality CFS - Multi-material units it works with: Creality CFS - Toolchanger or hotend changer: No - IDEX (independent dual extruders): No ### Connecting - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, USB - Built-in camera: Yes - Prints from: USB stick - Supports serial printing: No - Shipped firmware: Klipper ### Files and slicing - Supported file formats: G-code (.gcode, .gco, .g) ### The printer - Printer manufacturer / brand: Creality - Printer model name: Ender-3 V4 Combo - Made by a company from: China - Launched: November 2025 - Still made: Yes [Read more by the manufacturer](https://www.creality.com/products/ender-3-v4-3d-printer) ## What filament can the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo print? Filament compatibility for the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo: the materials Creality lists for it. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | PETG | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | TPU & flexibles | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | ABS & ASA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Nylon (PA) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Polycarbonate (PC) | With care | On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping. | | Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | ### Best filament for the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo Filaments the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo prints well, Creality's own first, then the best known. - [Creality Hyper PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/creality/hyper-pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Creality PETG](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/creality/petg): PETG, 220-250 °C - [Creality PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/creality/pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Creality 95A TPU](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/creality/95a-tpu): TPU, 210-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Basic](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-basic): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Matte](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-matte): PLA, 190-230 °C - [SUNLU PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/sunlu/pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Anycubic PETG](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/petg): PETG, 230-250 °C ## When to choose the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo Choose the Ender-3 V4 for a modern Ender that you can open up: Creality's page says Creality OS supports root access, an expert mode and Fluidd. It is new and we found no independent review. It is open and tops out at 300 degrees C, so it suits PLA, PETG and TPU best; for a closed chamber and engineering filaments choose an enclosed printer such as the Creality K2 or Bambu Lab P2S. For a cheaper start, the Ender-3 V3 Neo has the same plate size. ### Pros - Creality OS with Klipper roots, root access, an expert mode and Fluidd support (Creality). - Quiet at about 47 dB in Quiet Mode, with linear rails and a sound-absorbing chassis (Creality). - Full-auto calibration with auto Z-offset, auto levelling and input shaping, and a magnetic quick-swap nozzle cover (Creality). - Up to 500 mm/s and 12,000 mm/s2, with up to 300 degrees C and a 100 degrees C bed (Creality). - Connects to up to four CFS units for 16 colours, with auto filament relay and tangle detection (Creality, CFS sold separately). - Works with SimplyPrint through Klipper, compatible. ### Cons - Open frame with no enclosure: Creality lists ABS, ASA and nylon-CF, but without a chamber they are hard to print well. - A small 220 x 220 x 235 mm volume. - The CFS is sold separately unless you buy the Combo (Creality). - New and without an independent review, so the speed claims are Creality's own. ### Who it suits - Schools: Can work. Quiet, easy to set up and compatible with SimplyPrint, so student prints can be queued for approval, but the frame is open. - Hobbyists: Great fit. Quiet, modern, hackable and expandable to many colours at a modest price. - Businesses: Can work. Fine for PLA and PETG prototypes with a Klipper route, but small, open and unproven. - Print farms: Can work. Klipper gives remote control, but the plate is small, there is no enclosure and no plate-clearing kit in our sources. ## Compare the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo with similar printers - [Creality K3](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/creality-k3): Expected to work, 260 x 260 x 260 mm, Also by Creality · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled · Multi-material too - [Creality K1C](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/creality-k1c): Compatible, 220 x 220 x 250 mm, Also by Creality · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA) · Multi-material too - [Bambu Lab P2S Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-p2s-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 256 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled · Multi-material too - [Bambu Lab X2D Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-x2d-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 260 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled · Multi-material too - [Compare the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo with other printers](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=creality-ender-3-v4-combo#choose) ## Where to buy the Creality Ender-3 V4 Combo - [Creality's global store](https://simplyprint.io/buy/8274) (Official store) (Affiliate link) - [Creality Ender-3 V4](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/creality-ender-3-v4): Also sold without the multi-material unit. ## About Creality Creality is a Shenzhen 3D printer maker founded in 2014. Its low-cost Ender series, launched in 2017, made desktop 3D printing affordable for many hobbyists. It now sells Klipper-based K-series CoreXY printers, Ender and CR open-frame printers, the Hi and SPARKX beginner lines, the CFS multi-material system, 3D scanners and laser engravers, and runs the Creality Cloud model platform. It listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2026. - Founded: 2014 - Headquarters: Shenzhen, China - Ownership: Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (3388.HK) since 2026; founder Jack Chen is chief executive - Website: https://www.creality.com Openness: Mostly open (3.6 of 5) Creality sits in the middle: its Klipper-based printers can be run locally with Fluidd and open slicers, and it publishes firmware source, but usually months after launch, and it dropped root access on its 2025 K1 revisions. - Firmware and custom firmware (3 of 5): Creality publishes Klipper firmware source for the K1, K2, Hi and Ender-3 V3 KE on GitHub under GPL, but after launch: the K1 source came about three months after the series launched in May 2023, the K2 and Hi sources in September 2025. Earlier K1 printers have an official root option with a published guide, but Creality's wiki says the 2025 K1C and K1 Max do not support root access. - Local control and integrations (4 of 5): Creality Print sends jobs over the local network with no account, and Creality Cloud is optional. The K2 series and Ender-3 V3 serve Fluidd on the printer, so other software can use Klipper's documented Moonraker API. On the K1 series, Creality's firmware notes treat Fluidd and Mainsail as add-ons owners install themselves, and Creality says the 2025 K1C and K1 Max do not support root access. The SPARKX i7 is set up through the Creality Cloud app. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts (4 of 5): Third-party filament works; Creality Print is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) slicer and OrcaSlicer supports Creality printers. Creality sells nozzle, hotend and extruder kits per model; newer K2 parts such as its nozzle kit are Creality designs. - Repairs and spare parts (4 of 5): Creality's store sells extruder, hotend, heating-block and print-head kits per model, and its wiki has parts lists and replacement guides for current printers (for example the K2 Plus and SPARKX i7 hotends). - Data and privacy (3 of 5): Local printing needs no account; Creality Cloud and its app need one. Creality's published privacy policy is written for its websites and services, allows use of data for targeted advertising, and says little about printer data or where it is stored. - Community and documentation (4 of 5): One of the largest user bases (second in consumer 3D printers by 2025 sales value, per figures in its listing), a public wiki with model-specific guides, firmware and slicer sources on GitHub, and an official forum. ### Pros - Klipper-based models can be run entirely on the local network through Fluidd, without an account. - Firmware for most current models and the Creality Print slicer are published as source on GitHub. - Wide range, from budget Ender printers to multi-colour K2 machines. - Spare-part kits and model-specific replacement guides are easy to find. - Very large user base, so community help is easy to find. ### Cons - Firmware source has usually appeared months after a model ships. - Root access, offered on earlier K1 printers, is not supported on the 2025 K1C and K1 Max. - The privacy policy says little about printer and cloud data. - The SPARKX line is built around the Creality Cloud app and an account. ### Track record - May 2026: Creality listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (3388.HK), raising about HK$1.27 billion net. Its prospectus showed 2025 revenue of RMB 3.13 billion and a net loss of RMB 182.4 million, after a profit in 2024. - November 2025: Creality's wiki states that the 2025 revisions of the K1C and K1 Max do not support root access, which earlier K1 printers offered through an official option and guide. - September 2025: Creality published the Klipper source for its K2 series and for the Hi on GitHub under GPL-3.0. - August 2023: About three months after the K1 series launched, Creality published its K1 Klipper source on GitHub, followed by a repository with a root guide and Fluidd and Mainsail install instructions.
