<p>The Ender 3 and the CR-10 printers use the same board which runs on both 12V and 24V.  I have one of each and have to be careful swapping parts between the two.  </p>

Really? That is very interesting to know. Please see [What specifications of the dual voltage controller of the Ender 3/CR-10?](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/6524/what-specifications-of-the-controller-of-the-creality-3d-3)

Attention! Creality3d.shop is not the real shop https://www.creality3donline.com is the real online store. this information appears correct though, as it's probably just ripped from the official online store.

<p>I am pondering about buying a Creality Ender-3, and I am honestly confused about some reviews. Some claim it is running 24 V, one did claim it was 12 V, most don't mention it. Since I know about some issues with the clamps, if I get myself an Ender-3, I want to replace the hotend with a proper one from day one. So knowing its voltage is needed to order the right parts.</p>

Bearing in mind that the specifications on Amazon's page are sometimes not 100% (even though they are *in this case*), it is always best to check on the manufacturer's website.

From Creality3D's own website, [Creality3D.shop](https://www.creality3dofficial.com/), on the Creality3D Ender-3 product page, [Creality3D Ender-3 3D Printer Economic Ender DIY KITS](https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/official-creality-ender-3-3d-printer), the specifications are given as (emphasis is mine):

> ##ender-3 Machine Parameter:

> * Modeling Technology：FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling）
> * Printing Size：220*220*250mm
> * Machine Size：440*410*465mm

After checking the amazon listings of the ender-3, they contain more information than the gearbest listing: indeed it is a **24V** machine.
