I’ve always wanted a direct drive extruder but thought it would be too much work to upgrade. I should have done this years ago, it was so easy and took maybe 20 minutes to fully install and get back to printing. This solved so many issues I was having with my prints that it’s already payed for itself in previous wasted filament. Review: Awesome upgrade - Awesome upgrade for my Ender 3 pro. Was easy to install and get working for me with no clogging issues and definitely increased print quality. Works well for PLA but I get error on PETG sometimes at 245 but this is up near the max. Just have to turn off and on to clear error and works. ## Features - 100% Creality Official - Creality Ender 3 direct drive upgrade kit, compatible with Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer.
