Creality Ender 3 V3 SE
Question about Creality Ender 3 V3 SE
I have no experience in 3d printing so far, but would like to start with it Can anyone tell me whether I can print waterproof objects with the printer? Do I need to use a specific filament?

Helpful answer
The Creality Ender-3 V3 SE is a versatile 3D printer, but there are some limitations and requirements for printing waterproof objects.
### Filament selection
To print waterproof objects, you need to use a specific filament that offers these properties. The Ender-3 V3 SE supports different types of filaments, including PLA, PETG and TPU. However, for waterproof objects, PETG or a special waterproof filament such as ASA or ABS would be suitable, although the latter two filaments can be more difficult to print and may require special conditions.
### Print settings
It is important to adjust the print settings to achieve good impermeability. This includes optimising the layer thickness, the infill level and the temperature of the print bed and nozzle.
### Post-processing
Sometimes it is necessary to process the printed objects after completion in order to achieve complete impermeability. This can be done by varnishing, gluing or other post-processing techniques.
Overall, the Ender-3 V3 SE is capable of printing waterproof objects, but it requires using the correct filament and adjusting the print settings.

PLA is waterproof, and can be used for pretty much anything (not fire resistant)
If you print with PLA it is certainly waterproof, I don't know about other filaments
