I just mentioned returning the new one so he didn't have to go through the trouble of disassembly and packing the original one back up.
It was $159 and I used a $25 off submit a build coupon
I think it is up to $169 now so still cheaper to get theV3 SE
I still haven't unboxed mine yet but now I keep seeing bad reports about the the SE and specifically the auto Z and leveling mess
Not sure if this got better with new FW or not
But I seem to be seeing more mixed reviews now on the V3 SE
Now that it has been out for awhile.
Almost all initial reviews were good
But they were all sponsored or they got a free review units
I am starting to see complaints from ordinary users now.
I hope this will be a good for me as a beginner.
I hope if there are problems Creality will be able to fix them with a FW update or that the community will find solutions quickly.
I am already starting to question whether I should have just went for the KE but at that price point I would have probably just went for the K1 since it was in sale for $350 and I could have used the $25 off coupon ,so $325 for the K1 or 280- $25 for the KE know of seems like a no brainier to go for the K1
But I just decided to get the SE since it was in sale and save the money and see how low the bambu's drop next black Friday

That said though, the V3 SE for $20 more is probably worth it for most people. You get auto Z offset calibration and linear rails on the Y axis. For the nerds that want to tweak and get the most out of the hardware though, the S1 supports Klipper and it's not clear that support is there yet for the V3 SE, even Creality's Sonic Pad does not claim support for this printer. Klipper with input shaping and pressure advance tuning will get you better results faster if you are willing to put in the work.
But he was trying to do something specific like print a guitar pick with a logo on it and the side that os fade down on the bed was the logo side and the first layer was not perfect.
I also have seen a few comments from people in positive unboxing setup and review videos comment sections that say they had problems.
Some of the comments said there is a whole subreddit dedicated to the issues but I haven't explored that yet
I am just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

The cheaper Nebula Pad (used on the KE) also supports the V3 SE.
