Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$369.00 for the Ender-3 V4 Combo on store.creality.com, Aug 2026 - the combo includes the CFS filament system, so this is not a bare-printer price

Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Sold as a combo with the CFS multi-material unit. Build volume is 220 x 220 x 235 mm, which is neither the SE/V3's 250 mm nor the KE's 240 mm Z height - three different Z heights across four Ender-3 V3/V4 machines. Several features (filament tangle detection, RFID filament identification) are conditional on the CFS being fitted

Problems & troubleshooting

Multi-color feeding: inspect the PTFE tube for wear

The V1.1 manual links worn PTFE tubing to feeding difficulty and recommends a weekly tube inspection during multi-color use. Section 7.4 illustrates tube replacement; use the V4 routing and connector sequence when wear is found.

Applies to: Ender-3 V4 with CFS. Manufacturer manual V1.1, section 7.4, printed page 24; text checked in a mirrored copy alongside the official manual posting.

How to read this guide

This guide presents the catalog’s sourced record for this exact model. Source dates belong to each reference; a page update does not mean every specification has been rechecked.

Prices are dated listing snapshots, with configuration, regional and sale conditions. They are not current offers. Unknown values remain unfilled.

Firmware, variants and available accessories can change. Read the original reference before making a purchase or planning a process.

Ownership research & coverage

Firmware, modifications and troubleshooting links are checked against the model and stated hardware or firmware revision. A creator’s compatibility claim is not a fit test by this site. Official troubleshooting describes a diagnostic route; individual reports do not establish a failure rate.

This review did not verify firmware customization or update guidance, printable modifications, hardware upgrades for this exact model. That is a research gap, not a claim that none exist.
