Short answer
Creality lists the Ender-3 V3 KE with a 300 °C hotend, a 60 W ceramic heater, a direct extruder and an i3 gantry, running Creality OS, which Creality describes as based on Klipper. Creality's own pages disagree on the stock nozzle material, so we do not state it. The KE's 300 °C rating is not the V3 SE's 260 °C.
