    5.0 out of 5 stars Works on the Ender 3 Max too

    A. · 3 March 2024

    Bought this to upgrade my ender 3 max which already had direct drive but cost me 40mm of X axis because of my design. You do lose some Z height and if you are using this on a max variant you will lose the 2nd part cooling fan also, but given how well my Ender 5 Plus prints with just 1 part cooling fan I didn't mind trading that for the 40mm reclaim on the X axis.Installation is easy if you are comfortable with the components of 3D printers and took me <30 minutes which included upgrading the small PTFE tube between the stepper motor and extruder to Capricorn tube. I also had to reuse my old hot end cables as this is suitable for the Ender 3 / Pro / V2 which means the wires are not long enough for my printer.Because I already had direct drive I didn't need to alter most of my print settings and my prints are exactly the same as they were before which means this is working brilliantly. I tuned my retractions a little more given the rigidity upgrade so now I have 0.6mm @ 40 mm/s which helped reduce stringing to nearly 0.My biggest issue with this is the plastic drive feed used on the stepper motor. All metal to me means this should be the upgraded metal version too. I did reuse my old drive feed but I had to sand the connector that holds the stepper motor to the extruder plate to make this fit. This is not really a required thing to do but it gives me peace of mind that the drive feed mechanism won't break or split as the plastic drive feeds tend to do that after a while.I would still recommend this to anyone wanting to move from a bowden setup to direct drive as this is a very quick and cheap upgrade which will help improve print quality almost immediately when you adjust your print settings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice bit of kit and well happy with it.

    Nice bit of kit. Very well made. And well worth buying as an upgrade to your printer. I got this with other bits to upgrade the printer and best thing I did. My only issue with it which I had to do. Is where filament gone in to it i had to fit a bow tube fitting to it so I drilled it and taped a tread to hold bow tube to let filament go in with very little drag. As it was designed to be fed in from top but my printer sits on shelf in office and filament sits to lef too printer in a dryer and feeds from there so due to the angle it kept braking or get stuck as in was going in to hot end.Also what was nice is the cabling is very neat with it ready to go so all you got to do is run it to the board inside and with instruction which are english it is nice and easy to fit

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade but not all metal

    B. · 7 October 2022

    Would get 5* but I was quite disappointed by the description saying "all metal" and I find the drive feed spring arm is plastic (like the original - which mine snapped on before). Luckily, I could take my upgraded metal one off my old extruder and put it on this one to replace it though I did have to "sand" a little of the plastic bridge down to accommodate the screw for the spring (as the plastic one doesn't use a screw for the spring) so out of the box I am having to customise it a bit.However, now it is on, and wired up, worked first time with just a re-leveling of the bed and already printing clean models and definitely showing an improvement already on my old bowden system (not got anymore z shifting and super clean walls). May need to design and print some cable holders and rethink my filament runout sensor positioning but that is part of the fun of 3D printing.Definitely worth the upgrade as not expensive, just be prepared for the plastic parts that are on it and consider upgrading them now before they cause you issues down the line.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice upgrade

    S. · 28 January 2023

    I bought this direct drive system to add to my Ender 3 V2 and have to say it is worth every penny.Installation was simple and all wiring came with the kit. Not having to have a boden tube on the printer has made retractions cleaner and at shorter distances which means less chance of clogging or jamming of the stepper motor or hotend. Retraction distances were more than halved meaning that the filament remains in the hotend more preventing any excess cooling that could contribute to hotend clogging.The direct drive system also makes filament changes mid-print so much easier and quicker as you have less filament to pull out of the printer or feed back into the printer as the gap between stepper motor and hotend is so much smaller than when using the stock extruder with boden tube.There are also threads on the mounting plates for you to easily install a BL/CR touch bed levelling sensor.The extruder assembly is fairly heavy compared to the stock extruder that uses a boden tube so you may find that you need to reduce your print speeds slightly to ensure optimum quality on corners etc. However, the Ender 3 V2 works very well with this direct drive kit and has made printing that bit more easier too.Just don't forget to re-calibrate your extruder e-steps to ensure that your stepper motor is pushing out the correct amount of filament to ensure optimum accuracy of prints.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ender 3 upgrade

    A.F. · 13 July 2025

    This is a great direct drive upgrade. Really like how it came, everything was perfect and after fitting to my ender 3 is working a treat. Worth upgrading to a dual z axis drive at the same time due to the added weight of the stepper motor, I did both at the same time. Highly recommended upgrade to an ender 3 or 3 pro.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quality looks good, easy to fit.

    s. · 15 May 2024

    The product was well packaged and easy to install, the instructions are rubbish but there's always YouTube. My old print head had a noisy fan so this was a good value upgrade. The item was cheaper on the Creality website but I wanted it quick and Bolo was next day delivery.After levelling the bed my first print was good, I will have to look at E Steps and retraction settings but that's for another day.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for cr10s5 with v2.1 motherboard

    A.C. · 16 July 2025

    Don’t bye for cr10 v2.1 motherboard as it does not come with the correct plug and u have to rewire in to motherboard. The v2.1 needs an extra connection a small 2 pin that does not come with kit! Bit of a head ache having to look up the ender three motherboard and the CR 10 S5 motherboard and transferring all the cables over to find out. We need an extra two pin connector so I had to cut the old one off and solder back together

    Excellente qualite

    Il kit di aggiornamento estrusore Direct Drive per la Ender-3 è una bomba! L’ho installato in meno di un’ora (le istruzioni sono chiare), e la differenza si nota subito. Ora posso stampare materiali flessibili come TPU senza problemi.La qualità di stampa è migliorata, e l’alimentazione del filamento è più precisa. L’unico lato negativo è che aggiunge un po’ di peso all’asse X, quindi meglio regolare bene le impostazioni di velocità.Se vuoi migliorare la tua Ender-3, te lo consiglio assolutamente!
