ender 3 v3 se - speed adjustment

Ender Series Creality Ender-3 V3 KE/SE

Hi all! Newbie here. I just got an SE. Someone knows where can I find a comprehensive online manual for the LCD menu usage and parameters? For example, the speed setting that can be changed during printing under Tune button, is in percentage or in mm/s? Thanks in advance. Regards

Gigi

Here is AI response to printer speeds:

On a Creality Ender series 3D printer (like the Ender 3, V2, Pro, S1, etc.), when you change the printing speeds in your slicer software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Creality Print), those speeds become the new “100%” reference shown on the printer’s screen. The percentage displayed on the LCD screen (often labeled as “Speed,” “Print Speed,” or “FR” for Feed Rate) is a multiplier applied to the speeds defined in the G-code generated by your slicer.

  • At the start of a print, it always defaults to 100%.

  • This 100% means the printer is running exactly at the speeds you set in the slicer (e.g., if you sliced with 60 mm/s print speed, 100% = 60 mm/s actual movement during printing sections).

  • If you dial the printer’s speed to 50%, it slows everything to half of your slicer speeds (30 mm/s in the example).

  • If you increase it to 150%, it speeds up to 1.5× your slicer speeds (90 mm/s in the example).

This is how Marlin firmware (which powers stock Creality Ender printers) handles the feed rate override. The displayed percentage is not an absolute speed like mm/s or a fixed machine maximum—it’s purely relative to whatever your slicer programmed into the G-code. This behavior is consistent across the Ender series, as confirmed in Creality forums, Reddit discussions (e.g., r/ender3), and general Marlin/Ender documentation. The best practice is to set your desired base speeds in the slicer for consistent results, and only use the printer’s dial for temporary adjustments (like slowing down if you notice issues mid-print). Changing slicer speeds requires re-slicing and re-sending the file, but it will then make those new values the printer’s “100%.”

Thanks a lot!
Any chance to find a user manual for the LCD usage and menu tree?
