Official Direct Drive Extruder Kit,New Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit for Creality Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 S1/CR-10 Smart Pro 3D Printers，Support 1.5mm Filament

I have tried many extruders over the years and this is the best all in one Direct Drive extruder I have ever used. The kit came with the everything I needed to add this to my Ender 3 v2.Installation was straight forward and the documentation online was easy to follow.My only complaint was the built in mount for the CR Touch is ever so slightly to low for a BL Touch so I did end up buying the CR Touch to finish this installThe prints are beautiful with out any tuning what so ever other then adjusting e-stepsFor settings in Cura I ended up using the Ender 3 s1 Pro settings, and they worked perfectly.

Takes a half an hour or so to install (you will need to rewire motherboard connections), but the print quality is *incredible* compared to the stock hotend and extruder setup on an Ender 3 / most Creality printers. Night and day difference when printing small features thanks to the greatly improved retraction performance, and a smoother surface finish elsewhere (all printed with PETG). Haven't tried TPU yet but I have no doubt this extruder / hotend assembly will print it easily.10/10 would (and do) recommend to anyone I know with an Ender 3.

It took me a few days to actually start printing due to connecting two of non- functioning wire on this extruder on to my V4.2.7 board.The sprite extruder came with two extra wires which served no purpose. I installed all the connections without reading the manual, this caused me to have a blue screen on my ender 3 pro. After a few days of installing and writing my own firmware is when I discovered this problem. Once the extra two wires were removed, every component on my ender 3 pro worked flawlessly (with the latest combo firmware flash on creailty's website).If you run into a blue screen and flashing the firmware isnt helping, try looking at the manual and identify the two non functioning wires and make sure they are disconnected!

I’ve struggled for years to get clean ABS prints with the bowden tube setup and an upgraded hot end, but when I saw this in a 3D printing forum with someone else proclaiming it fixed their ABS issues I jumped and ordered it - and boy am I glad I did. Layer adhesion and consistency is FAR better. I haven’t tried TPU yet, but everyone says it does great. Don’t keep guessing - buy this…

Installation was a pain due to the copious amounts of glue Creality applied to keep the connectors firmly connected to the main board. The real problem for me is there is I cannot find a precompiled firmware for the Ender3 v2 with the GigaDevice main board that will allow me to print at higher temperatures. Compiling custom firmware is beyond my abilities. Creality customer service was of no help.So basically I wasted a few hours to perform an upgrade that doesn't really improve my printer, as well as spent countless hours searching for a tutorial to update the firmware. If I could start over again I would have just bought a new printer and saved myself countless headaches.

I needed a new hotend for my ender 3 max as I broke my old one. Scrolled through Amazon and found this and thought I might as well upgrade while I’m looking. I didn’t think it would work because it says it’s for the ender 3, but it surprisingly works well with wiggle room. Absolutely worth the money if you’re itching for an upgrade.

Got everything all setup on my ender 3 v2 with klipper, dual z and a bl touch, as a test I tried pla, tpu, and asa all came out great with some tweaking, going to have to print a printer to use my old bowden now

Every time I try to print with this extruder anything that takes less than two days to print is fine, but anything that takes more the extruder filament push gear slips, which causes the dual gear system to click and the filament to stop extruding, mid print, I have tried disassembling it cleaning it and reassembling it and every single time I get the same problem. I have tried asking for help, but nobody knows, I don’t know what else to do so I’m writing this review to let everyone else know that this extruder is very unreliable.. use PRUSA or another company.
