Creality launches Direct Drive Extruder Kits for their Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro 3D Printers
Creality's Ender 3 series of 3D printers are amongst the most popular on the market, offering users a capable 3D printer and an incredibly affordable price point.
3rd party upgrades for Creality's Ender 3 series are available from a variety of sources, but in recent months, Creality has started to offer their users an official upgrade path for their 3D printers. Now, those who want a Direct Drive extruder for their Ender 3 can purchase one from Creality, with upgrade kits costing £25.45.
With Creality's option, users are offered a level of compatibility that only in-house manufacturing/design can provide, offering users an easy upgrade path and all of the instructions that they need to upgrade their printers. Creality has also created a short video guide for those who wish to upgrade their Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro printers, which is available at the bottom of this article.
Creality's Direct Drive upgrade comes with all the tools that buyers need to upgrade their Ender 3 printer. The kit also concludes a new nozzle, a stepper motor and all of the cables that you need. You won't need to re-use your existing stepper motor or hot-end with this kit. Creality has made the upgrade process as simple as possible with this kit, which is great news for Ender 3 users.

That one there is about three times the cost of this one at a minimum. Micro Swiss do great work, but this one is cost-effective like the Ender 3 itself.Quote
