Description
With the Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit you can easily upgrade your Creality Ender 3 / Pro / V2 / Max. The direct drive extrusion of the Sprite Extruder Pro allows you to print at higher temperatures (≤ 300 °C) and process multiple types of filament.
The filament selection is open to you
With the Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit you can no longer only print PLA, PETG etc. with your Ender, but also flexible filaments and materials that require higher printing temperatures.
Small extruder, big performance
Despite its small size of only 54 x 50 x 64.3 mm and a weight of only 288 g, the Sprite Extruder Pro is a powerful combination of extruder and hotend that offers many practical functions.
HIgh torque & extrusion force
The use of gears with a gear ratio of 3.5:1, which perfectly matches the motor, enables an extrusion force of up to 80N (depending on the filament) and more precise control of filament retraction.
Dual-drive gear filament feed
The dual-drive gear do not damage the filaments but makes the feeding more reliable and stable.
Adjustable lever
With the tensioner you can adjust the pressure exerted on the filament by the drive gears according to your wishes and requirements, thus printing more precise models.
Full metal hotend for higher temperatures
The hotend with titanium heatbreak allows you to print materials up to 300 °C. The heat block, made of aluminium alloy, heats up quickly and melts the filament quickly.
The titanium heatbreak has low thermal conductivity and high thermal strength.
Excellent heat dissipation
Efficient heat dissipation ensures worry-free printing. Optimised dual fans cool the component and thus increase its stability.
Simple operation & uncomplicated filament feed
The special design of the extruder makes it more convenient and faster to insert the filament.

Questions & Answers about Creality Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit
-
Which nozzle type is suitable for this kit?
-
Does this include the cable to connect a CR-Touch / BL-Touch to the daughterboard on the extruder? If not, do you stock this in 3D Jake to be bought separately?
-
As of 10.17.2022, YES. I just bought 2 for upgrades and the CR-Touch to Sprite daughterboard cable IS INCLUDED.

Just received my kit. You'll need to connect the CR Touch directly to the controller board, by routing it together with the ribbon. Or buy the short cable from somewhere else.

I assume this will require a firmware upgrade for the ender 3 max. If so, where can I get the firmware.

Rated with 4 out of 5 stars.
Love this upgrade, made my printing experience so much better by getting rid of bowden tube and its well designed piece of equipment.
Does require a bit of tweaking of the printer configuration to get Z offset and Steps/mm correctly but there's plenty of videos on youtube. Hardware wise its a fairly straight foward install.
Some thing I didn't like
-Doesn't by default fit on all Enders. Might need to switch out some bolts on gantry to flatter ones so it can utilize the entire X axis. Had this problem with my Ender 3 Max.
-Fans are really loud, I switched them to quiet Noctua's but you need to print an adapter for it.
-Reduces X axis print bed size by a few centimeter because its so wide,
Make sure you get the Sprite Extruder Pro, its a bit more expensive but its full metal and doesn't have bowden tube inside like the normal Sprite :0
Its still a really worthwhile upgrade but can be a big headache.Was this rating helpful? (7) (0)

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
Finally updated my stock E3V2 with this kit. BEYOND easy to do and getting great results. Don't forget to update your firmware and get a flexi bed on your V2 and you'll essentially have the S1. Enjoy!
