In my last post I mentioned that I was planning to fit our Ender 3 with an integrated hot end and extruder. To swap carriages I just removed the belt tensioner, loosened the screws holding the print beam to its Z axis carriage and pulled the beam away from the upright far enough to slide the old one off and the new one on. Quality Assurance】 - Creality 100% official, the direct drive extruder upgrade kit is original and high quality from 100% quality assurance.

With the Bevel Gear design, we are able to achieve the industry shortest filament path (less than 41mm). The holes of the split type conversion bracket are perfectly aligned, with supports on both sides to keep the centre of gravity in the middle, this way the structure is more stable. Whether you're looking for guides on calibration, advice on modding, or simply want to share your latest 3D prints on the Ender 3, this subreddit is your go-to hub for support and inspiration. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

Direct drive extruders, on the other hand, by reducing the extruder to hot end distance to the practical minimum, greatly reduce the amount of retraction needed as well as the effect of filament compression and stretching.

Even if you don’t print flexible filaments, it is so much easier to print with PLA when the filament goes directly into the hot end. I mainly use ASA filament and this upgrade brings a huge improvement in the quality of the print and brings the standard much closer to my other printer which is a Prusa MK3S.

Since most of my prints these days are functional prints, I really haven’t tuned the printer for the best quality. Don't shell out a lot of money for the light stepper; anything with the right RPM and torque specs is perfectly fine, and 0. This extruder overcomes the shortcomings of all current counterparts on the market, to create an optimal printing experience for everyone. The nozzles that it comes with are proprietary and can only be replaced with ones of their own kind which are massively expensive especially the steel ones for printing carbon fiber/metallic filaments.The nylon material requires extra care to print; it needs to be extruded at high temperatures(260-300),keep the filament dry and print it in high ambient temperature. Integrated Structure with all Metal: The Direct Extruding Full Kits's sturdy and wear resistant with all-metall sell and surface oxidation treatment; Integrated structure is convenient for wiring and replacing. Direct extruding, Smooth feed-in: Equipped with quality motor, Lower torque requirements on stepper motor, reducing the possibility of nozzle blockage when retracting filament and malfunction when loading new filament.
