What are the functions of Ender 3 Max Neo?
1. 300 x 300 x 320mm Large Build Volume:
With the 300 x 300 x 320mm Large Build Volume and an open print chamber, you’ll be able to print large 3D models with ease, or you can print several small models at the same time on the large build surface.
2. CR Touch Automatic Leveling:
Equipped with CR Touch, the auto-leveling improves efficiency by automatically measuring and adjusting the 25-point print height on the heat bed, making leveling much easier.
3. High-precision Dual Z-axis:
With a Z-axis dual-screw+Z-axis dual-motor design, it works smoother and more synchronously to lower the possibility of lines and ridges on the sides of your print, thus improving the printing quality.
4. Power Loss Recovery and Filament Sensor:
Ender-3 Max Neo features the function of detecting filament runout or breakage/power loss and resuming printing after recovery. By accurately recording the printing data at the time of power outage/filament runout or breakage, it helps to avoid the waste of filaments and time caused by accidents.
5. Upgrade Red Metal Extruder & Low-noise Design:
The newly upgraded extruder without a pneumatic joint has high gear density, and feed-in smoothly, greatly improving the performance of the printer; and the brand-new 32-bit silent mainboard runs at low decibel levels, greatly reducing noise to let you enjoy your printing.

Printing Test
We tested a few filament materials like PLA and TPU and the final results turns very good. The model of the pitcher comes out of the printer flawlessly, with virtually no flaws and excellent detail.
Benefits of the Ender 3 Max Neo
- Large build volume (duh!)
- Textured glass print plate
- Upgradability
Downsides
- “Outdated” UI
- Poor filament loading
- Manual calibration required
ender 3 max neo upgrades: Creality Sonic Pad
The sonic pad is one of the best upgrades that I would recommend for the Ender-3 Max Neo. It increases the actual print speed without sacrificing quality by 25-40%. It can be used to connect any camera and flexibly and conveniently adjust printing parameters in the process. And there are functions that can help improve your printing efficiency.

Verdict – Is the Creality Ender-3 Max Neo Worth Buying?
The Ender 3 Max Neo will be attractive to 3D makers who prefer a big print without investing big. Keeping in tradition with Creality’s Ender 3 line of churning out prints reliably and with little effort, the Ender 3 Max Neo hits the sweet spot between affordability, functionality, and accessibility. Although called Max Neo Max, this 3D printer is still a good option for entry-level users looking for a genuine machine that needs little effort to get it up and running, as well as veterans looking forward to modding and upgrading the printer to their liking.
