Creality Official Ender 3 Direct Drive Upgrade Kit, Comes with 42-40 Stepper Motor Hotend Kit, All Metal Structure, Support Flexible TPU Filament, 1.75mm Direct Drive Extruder Fan for Ender 3 Pro/3 V2

We had been using the original stock equipment on our Ender 3's until one day I decided to go ahead and buy two of these for our printers and they are simply game changers. They work great and are an easy drop in replacement and we have had zero issues with them and we have done countless prints through them!

Been running my Ender 3 Ver 2 stock for about a year. I've been noticing the stock extruder giving me problems recently, so I felt like it was time to upgrade. This direct drive is super easy to install, Creality has done such a good job making sure even the wiring is easy to figure out. I had it up and running in less than 15 minutes. One note......if running a leveling sensor, you will need to use a different mounting bracket than the one the standard E3V2 carriage head uses.

I installed this correctly, yet it doesn't work. I've repeatedly checked the wiring.When i turn on the machine all I get is a high pitched sound that pauses, then starts again. I get the blue screen, but that's it.I've installed it on an Ender 3 pro.

The quality and appearance is like buying a whole new printer. From Bowden to direct drive. Fit perfectly. This upgrade made my cheap filament flow like my expensive filament. So print quality was much better! Bought 2 more. Does require some extra work hooking wires in the circuit board but was easy with a instructions.

Worked very well good quality. Took a good bit of tinkering to get it install properly.

This is a great upgrade from the original and I haven't had any feeding issues like I did from the original one.

"All Metal Design" is very misleading. Apparently it just means the shell is metal. But I think a reasonable person would think this means an all metal hotend.It is not. The PTFE tube goes so far into the heatbreak, it is exposed to high temperatures and will break down into a sticky brown greasy substance that will contaminate prints and cause the filament to jam.I find I must now spend more money to be able to use this. I see why this is listed as an "often returned item".

Product worked really good out of the box but once you adjust your e-steps even first layers came out flawless
