A tale of two hot ends
I've been trying to print a pretty large object (~19 hour print) on my Ender 3 Pro for a couple of weeks but it keeps failing. You can see in the first photo that there are defects at various levels before the print actually failed with filament failing to come out of the printer after about 3 hours. It turns out that this was due to under extrusion. I was planning to replace the extruder arm as it had a hairline crack, but for a little extra money I decided to upgrade to this direct drive extruder. The item printed *perfectly* the very first time as you can see in the second photo. Installation was pretty straightforward but the instructions that came with the device were severely lacking - all I received was the circuit board layout (visible in photo #3). Fortunately I ordered the product for myself and was aware that there was a good video on this product listing - I might have been a little lost had I received this as a gift. To complicate installation a little I, like many, have a non-Creality board in my Ender. I took photographs of what was currently plugged in where, and was able to attach the new hot end to the same ports on the motherboard. Everything else was smooth sailing and the video in this listing accurately depicts the installation process. The hot end worked first time and I am delighted to final complete this 19 hour print. If you're having any printing issues I highly recommend this upgrade! ... show more

Solution for improving the reliability of Ender 3 printers
It worked as promised and improved my 3d printing pleasure, once I figured out how to install it.

High Quality Prints - After *Minor* Adjustment
Works perfectly for printing TPU, which was the main reason for the purchase. However, as stated by another reviewer, the screw for the thermistor was screwed on too tightly causing an error that won't allow you to print anything at all. Luckily I had seen that review before making the purchase so I knew it was a potential problem to be aware of - with an easy fix - I just had to loosen the screw a bit. This wouldn't be an issue at all if the product contained better instructions explaining this to the user - I'm sure this single issue has caused the product to be needlessly returned many times. Due to this, I'm rating the product only 4 stars. Please include better instructions to save people time and from any headaches/frustration and this product would be an EASY 5 out of 5 stars. Aside from that minor setback: considering the amazing price for what you get, plus the improvement in print quality (and most importantly frustration-free TPU printing,) I HIGHLY recommend this product! ... show more

Great, but check these things before use
I wish I had bought this a long time ago. My prints are sooooo much better compared to the extruded that came with my Ender 3 v2. The quality and precision of my prints are much better and I can set temps much lower than before. With the stock extruded, PLA+ needed a temp of 240 but with this one I’m running it at 205. Likes lot of other people, I got an immediate over temp alarm right when I turn the printer on. Just loosen the screw that holds the temperature probe in place. Also, make sure the two set screws on the brass extruder gear that grips the filament are tight. I did a 9 hour print only to find out that it stopped extruding half way through because they weren’t tight. Otherwise, I love this! ... show more

Great part for a durable machine
This is an easy to use, durable setup for direct-drive printing. My old setup died on me and it was time to upgrade my Ender again anyway so I was happy to get one of these and try TPU printing. Filament of all kinds feeds through the extruder like a charm with proper adjustments. Perfectly compatible with the listed printers and includes everything you need to get started. Once I got everything installed the stability of the extruder proved it's worth and I'd recommend this to anyone in the hobby, beginner or otherwise. ... show more

Works great… with only one issue.
Item arrived quickly, was well packaged in a padded box, and was fully assembled. Even came with a tool kit. Installation was simple, but understand the installation instructions are for wire hookup only. There are plenty of online tutorials on how to install. This is a plug and play item. No fancy coding skills necessary. The only issue I had (as others have had and reviewed) was the temp sensor was over tightened and shorted the thermistor. This shows an “over-temp” when you first go to use it. Back the screw off slightly and good to go. Manually leveled my bed and have been printing for 3 days now with zero issue. Printed nylon at 260°c with no issues. As for the other reviews stating the rollers were too tight, mine weren’t. I literally removed the old end and installed this one without any adjustments necessary. Rollers were correctly set. For the price of a new hot end that is nylon capable, this was well worth the money I spent. Couldn’t buy a decent all metal hotend for this price. It even uses standard nozzles (which I have a ton of). And it’s a direct bolt on. 5 stars from me, even with the thermistor screw issue. Will be buying more for my other Ender 3’s. ... show more

Creality Ender 3 V2 new life
I was ready to throw my ender in the garbage, I could not get the stock extruder motor to print a model without missing layers in my prints for a long time. Suspecting the extruder motor after trying a million things (new firmware, adjusting flow rates, use of various filaments, temperatures, print beds, and on and on) I decided to try this cheap update and go with a direct drive. I now use a pei plate for print bed adhesion and this direct drive extruder and my printer has sprung back to life and I am printing good quality prints with far fewer failed prints. I was worried about being able to attach my cl touch bed leveler to this new bracket because not many of the pics showed the holes needed to do this, however I found that I could use the same hole that secures the hotbead fan to secure both the fan and the cl touch sensor. It is not too difficult to install, just follow the diagram, remove the old hot point cables entirely and replace them with what is in the package. They do give you some extra length cabling for the X motor to extend that from the stock X motor cable to the hotbed so that is helpful since the X motor is further away from the control board. 24 hours of prints and counting with flawless prints, no misprints or failed prints. ... show more

Many quality issues with this kit
Where to start. It looks great in theory. Installed fine. As soon as I turned the printer on I got error beeps. After some googling I investigated the hot end thermister... the screw was tightened so much that the wires were shorting out to the block. I ordered a new one and fixed it enough to get to printing. Second, it just wasn't printing right... seemed like it wasnt getting hot enough. After looking it over I found the heating element was loose... when I went to tighten it I found that the allen screw was stripping the heat block. The thermister screw had done the same, seems like this block was some weird cast metal that seemed to just fall apart. I'd already hacked it apart enough at this point I just continued and swapped hot end blocks with my old one, etc until I got a working hot end but good grief the quality on this unit was terrible. I wouldn't recommend this if you don't know what you're doing to be able to look for the terribly obvious flaws in manufacturing. ... show more
