Creality Ender 3 Direct Drive Extruder Kit, Compatible for Creality Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 V2, Full Assembled Hotend Kit Supports 1.75MM PLA, ABS TPU Filament

Product Information

There’s also a photo of a correctly wired Ender 3 motherboard, which is handy if you haven’t ventured into rewiring the thing yet. Since it is cold in my garage where my printer is, I decided to forego the PEI bed I’ve been using and simply use a glass bed with a glue stick. PrinterMods is a proud cog in that machine - supplying the maker community with what they need to grow and thrive. The installation instructions are good (except adjusting the X,Y offsets) and within an hour or so had it installed. Even if you don’t print flexible filaments, it is so much easier to print with PLA when the filament goes directly into the hot end.

In my last post I mentioned that I was planning to fit our Ender 3 with an integrated hot end and extruder. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The difference in quality between the NG and a BIQU h2 is enormous especially when it comes to installing. This summer I went to print some battery caps for my Ryobi batteries out of Sainsmart TPU like I had done many times and had the hardest time getting it to print well.But unless you're sticking to print speeds so low you hardly need it, it's still better to run a bowden with LA/PA than without. One potential down side I'm aware of is that putting the extruder stepper and drive on the X carriage adds mass that the X drive motor has to both accelerate and decelerate; this could in theory have an effect on print quality, increasing ringing and overrun on the X axis (though this isn't generally a problem with the steppers used on the Ender 3 and similar printers). The 42-40 extruder is heavy so printing slower is a must because your X-axis 42-34 will be working double. Auto Leveling with Creality CR Touch】: Upgraded CR Touch 16-point automatic bed leveling technology saves you the trouble of manual leveling. An even beefier upgraded version of the incredible new ender S1, the S1 Pro has even better features, such as an incredible 300 degree high temperature printing capability, integrated LED lighting, and a maximum bed temperature of 110c.

Easy to Install】 - Longer connecting cable, tools, accessories and diagram instruction, easy to assemble. The connectors that were supplied to connect the heater to the existing wires had the quality of a Swiss watch made in China. Comes with a 42-40 stepper motor，this direct extruder kit is made of aluminum alloy and plastic, durable, and wear resistant. In most cases Direct Drive will provide advantages such as increasing the maximum flow speed, enabling the use of Linear/Pressure Advance, shortening Retraction moves, and better resistance to obstructions in the filament path, and more reliable printing of flexibles as you have already noted.

a printable bracket to mount the extruder and its stepper, literally fifty cents worth of filament and a couple hours of printer time. As well, A direct drive system would allow a less-powerful stepper motor to be used, which cuts down on the carriage mass problem. Durability: With longer Extruder motor connecting cable, tools, accessories, and wiring diagram instruction for installation, easy to assemble. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Integrated Structure with all Metal: The Direct Extruding Full Kits's sturdy and wear resistant with all-metall sell and surface oxidation treatment; Integrated structure is convenient for wiring and replacing.

One caution if you do get this and that is that it may take some time to tune the printer back to the way it was. The improved extruder assembly with dual-gear drive ensures better filament grip and reduces the chances of filament slipping. This direct drive upgrade kit is suitable for Creality Ender-3 V2, Ender-3 Pro, Ender-3, Voxelab Aquila 3D printers, NOT compatible with TITAN extruders.One of the key upgrades is the inclusion of a dual-rod design for the Y-axis, which enhances stability and reduces vibrations during printing. It doesn’t need any firmware updates or other tweaking, apart from making sure the bed’s levelled after you’re done screwing things back together. I did work it out so if you can contact me and I can give you some more information about it and I can send you video how a worked it out. Many of the direct drive kits, especially the ones that reuse the existing giant NEMA-17 stepper, are not very good and have tradeoffs due to excessive mass on the toolhead, imbalanced mass, interference with frame reducing print volume, etc. Direct drive extruders, on the other hand, by reducing the extruder to hot end distance to the practical minimum, greatly reduce the amount of retraction needed as well as the effect of filament compression and stretching.
