First off, do not forget that this is a larger unit. You will lose some printable bed space on an regular Ender 3 (and probably most others) if you are upgrading from the stock hot end. Install was straight forward. The wiring is much much cleaner. Unit comes with a replacement wire for the CR Touch. Mine didn't work and I had to use my original CR Touch wire. Not a big deal at all. Set your CR Touch offsets. Remember to adjust for the bed space you are going to lose. Set your E-Steps is running stock firmware. I went to Klipper and MainsailOS after this upgrade (along with upgrading X-Axis and going Dual Z Rod). For Klipper remember to set your rotation distance for the Sprite Pro. If you are still on a stock original Ender 3 running stock firmware and printing at 40 - 50 mms, I would recommend this upgrade. Prints are much faster, rarely ever an error, and I have not had a failed print yet. Night and Day difference. Attached a picture of my Klipper extruder settings before fine tuning.

I picked up this Ender Sprite Pro kit as an upgrade for my Ender 3 Pro, with a 4.2.7 board and BL Touch. The package came new, and unopened, and everything needed to perform the upgrade was included: Direct Drive/Hot-end Assembly, X-Gantry Carriage, Ribbon Cable, Screws & Extra nozzle. Installation was straightforward, and the included directions were clear and easy to understand. If someone is comfortable around the printer's parts/cabling, they should be able to get this installed, setup and printing in about a 30-45mins (a bit longer with ABL). While this kit does not officially support adding a BL-Touch/CR-Touch, I was able to get mine working with minimal modification, using my existing BL-Touch wire. The main issue is that, by default, the Marlin ABL mesh needs the full 235mm of X-Axis travel to check the right side of the bed... however the Sprite's carriage nut bumps into the right-side bracket at 234mm. There are a few options to address this: 1. Update Firmware to change the Max X distance. 2: Use a shorter bolt/nut on the carriage. 3: Move the X-Axis stop switch over by 1.5mm, to offset the travel to the left a bit, while retaining a full 235mm of travel. Since I already had the printer back together, and was too lazy to crack into the firmware source, I chose option #3. I was able to use a needle file to elongate the screw holes on the X-stop switch to accomplish this. (See attached photos) One thing that would be nice to have been included in this kit is a short cable to connect the BL-Touch to the Sprite's break-out board. This would clean things up and allow you to run everything through the ribbon cable. I will likely pick up a connector kit to make my own short cable (molex picoblade 1.25 5-pin connector... JST-SH 1.25 may be compatible too). You may be able to find a short cable online; ~7cm would be plenty. As is recommended with any hot-end changes (including nozzle swaps), a PID Tuning is an important step that is now. I was able to print fine without doing this, but temps were bouncing around by 2-3degs consistently. After running a PID tune, temps stayed steady. A PID Tune can be done in about 10mins with either Pronterface or the OctoPrint terminal. I was able to set the extruder e-steps via the printer's screen (Control->Motion->Steps/mm->ESteps. 424.9 steps). For the ABL X/Y/Z offsets, I was able to set these via a gcode file on the SD Card. The gcode lines for my BLTouch ended up being: M851 X-30.5 Y-40 Z-4.64; define X/Y/Z offsets M500; save to EEPROM Once everything was setup, printing was flawless with my existing slicer profiles; the only change being retraction settings for the direct drive (For PLA, I went with 0.8mm @ 35mm/s). After validating things were working well with PLA, I jumped over to TPU, which I had never tried with the Bowden setup. After a few test prints to tune temp/retraction/flow-rate, TPU was printing cleaner than I expected. (See clean layers and minimum stinging on attached Darth Maul print in Red Overture TPU). Overall I would recommend this to anyone wanting an all-inclusive upgrade for their Ender/Creality printer, at a reasonable price. There are some higher-end options from E3D/etc... but you will end up spending quite a bit more, along with having to piece together everything needed to get them installed (Mounts/fans/ducts/etc). As of right now, the only complaint I have is that the placement of part-cooling fan is right in front of the nozzle, making it hard to get a good view of the first layer. I will likely print a different mount to move it over to right side to provide a better view.

I am ranking this as a four for the following two reasons: 1) If you already have a BL-Touch installed, install is a little bit of a hassle (will explain more below) and 2) this unit is definitely louder because of the higher performance fans. This unit was designed to be used with the CR-Touch and you would also need the V4.2.7 motherboard if you plan on installing the CR-Touch (Unless already installed)(CR-touch uses a 5-pin plug whereas the BL-Touch uses a 2 and 3-pin plug). However, if you have a BL-Touch and don’t want to change out the sensor and motherboard, you can make the BL-Touch work by doing the following: The flat cable that comes with the Sprite has a spare 2 and 3-pin plugs that are not being used, remove the pins from the spare 2 and 3-pin connector, then remove the pins from the 5-pin connector that says CR-Touch. Dig out the instructions from the BL-Touch and use a circuit tested (ohm meter) to move the pins from the 5-pin top the two 2 and 3-pin connectors per the wiring diagram. Install connectors and finish install. I do have to admit that once everything was set up, bed leveled, and test prints ran, everything ran flawlessly and my first print was excellent. I am surprised that Creality did not provide any instructions on installing a BL-Touch.

Installed this on a Voxelab Aquila, have printed for over 500 hours so far and the results have been great. Printed PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, PC, and Nylon successfully. Though not every aspect of this unit was peaches and cream. Initially when I opened the box the Air Duct was cracked and needed to be replaced. Things happen in the mail so I won't blame the company but it was still an annoyance. The screw that holds the thermistor in place was also way to close to the exposed portion of the Heating cartridge wires. Simply loosening the cartridge and rotating it 90 degrees took care of that, but it's something you should look out for. The daughter board at the back of the extruder is a nice addition but the socket for the bl touch is non standard. Some people I know have received the correct bl touch cable with their Sprite kits, but I did not. I have an installation video on my YouTube channel : PrintsLeo3D if you're interested on a walkthrough. It also has a link to the air duct model and the proper bl touch cable. Overall if you are looking to go direct drive this is not a bad option, it was relatively painless installing it, it can print high temperature filaments, and it's lightweight.
