Creality Official “Sprite” Extruder Pro-Kit, Suitable for Ender 3/3 Pro/ 3 V2/ 3 Max/ 3 S1, Satisfy Near-end Printing and High-temperature Printing

Product Information

No the CR-10 Smart used the original Sprite extruder. The Sprite Extruder Pro is intended as an upgrade - it has an all-metal hotend The toothed gear is held in place by two small grub screws, which can become loose over time, leading to the gear falling to the bottom of the shaft and losing grip on the filament. Next, plug the SD card in your printer and turn it on. The installation process takes about 10 seconds. I recommend you wait for a minute, then remove the SD card and restart your printer. Copy the Ender 3 S1 Klipper config file The metal dual-gear upgrade requires setting the E-steps due to the smaller radius of the toothed gear. Because the Sprite extruder is a direct drive extruder and doesn’t need to push the filament through a long tube to the hot end, it requires a much shorter retraction distance than Bowden extruders. You should adjust the retraction settings in your slicer accordingly.

Inside the Titan extruder, the extruder gear is connected to the separate motor shaft through a gear system with a gear ratio of 3:1. Like the single-gear Bowden designs, the filament is driven on one side, while the other side is held by a freely rotating idler pulley. Below the gear, the filament path is fully enclosed, which is important to prevent jamming when printing with flexible filaments like TPU. One of the most attractive features of the Creality Sprite Pro Extruder is its weight and size. Yes, there are lighter and more compact extruders out there, but the Sprite Extruder comes with a more powerful Nema 17 extruder motor and the hotend is included in the extruder design. Reinstall the hot end enclosure. The hardware installation is now complete. We also recommend removing the Bowden extruder assembly and motor at this point. You no longer need it, and it adds unnecessary weight to the printer gantry. Configuring and Testing the Extruder I have this same issue but I believe its because mine is a STM32F401 chip. I don’t know how to make KIAUH detect USB ID I don’t see that option there. I can do ls /dev/serial/by-id/* and it lists the singluar connection. However I get the MCU unable to connect error. Looked in the config and MCU is set to use the single USB ID connection. Any insights here? (I’ve tried both USB and Serial type connections). Also one thing to note when chosseing the F401 chips the only options are 16bit (HID) or 32bit boot loaders. Just for your information. I needed to adjust pressure advance so your settings don`t worked for my filament spool 🙂Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it. This requires that the extruder moves along with the print head.

For the Sprite Pro extruder, you get the aluminum body with a titanium heat break while on the regular extruder you get a plastic body and a PTFE lined heat break. I mean. . . Just buy a pi and be done with it. If you don’t want to pay for a pi, buy a btt pi, such as the cb1. I genuinely think that going this route will make it easier on yourself, but do what you think best. Btw I have compiled firmware many times for klipper, and it’s not hard at all. The fact that you have an ender 3 will also make it easier, because I’m 99% sure that someone else has the same setup as you; and you could just use their configuration.

Creality Ender 3, Creality Ender 3 Pro, Creality Ender 3 V2, Creality Ender 3 Max, Creality CR-10 Smart Pro, Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro Thank you so much! It is great and works perfect. I only have a “issue” that the top surface is not that good. Any idea how to improve? Top Surface Solid Fill Layers to 2? https://imgur.com/a/fMPTYYJ I am also including a tuned IdeaMaker Klipper Profile for the Ender 3 S1. It’s made for PLA, but if you adjust printing temperatures, you will be able to use it with other filaments too. Please keep in mind that Pressure Advance might need to be adjusted according to your filament.
