The Ender 3 Will Not End, Neo Is Coming! (Ender 3 Max Neo, Ender 3 V2 Neo, Ender 3 Neo)

According to the official website, Creality will release 3 "Neo" 3D printers in YouTube and Facebook Live on August 5th. These 3 new "Neo" models are upgraded versions of the Ender 3, Ender 3 V2 and Ender 3 Max, which add auto-leveling and some other exciting features, but not much more in price. They may replace the first 3 models as the new popular low-cost model printer, considering the popularity of Ender 3 around the world? But according to the official response, Ender 3 will not be discontinued for now.

There has been some discussion on Reddit about these three printers, a series that users have jokingly called the Ender 3 Variation, as there are now more than 10 ender 3's 3d printer (including these 3).  From the post voting results we can see, people are still excited about these printers. Now let's take a look at the new features and the more important parameters of these Neo series.

Each “Neo” printer update includes the following three new features: a 32-bit motherboard, Creality's CR Touch auto bed leveling probe, and a upgraded extruder (metal Bowden extruder). But in terms of printing platform upgrades, the Ender 3 Neo and Ender 3 Max Neo are carbon silicon glass plates, while the Ender 3 V2 Neo is PC spring steel. Probably due to cost considerations, the Ender 3 Neo does not have the quick installation feature of the Ender 3 V2 Neo and Ender 3 Max Neo, you need to manually install every accessories.The price difference between the Ender 3 V2 Neo and the Ender 3 Max Neo comes from the difference in print volume.
