Creality 3D Ender-3 Direct Extruding Kit (4001020013)

Upgrade your Creality Ender-3 series 3D printer with the official Direct Extruding Kit. This bolt-on conversion replaces the stock Bowden system with a direct drive extruder, improving filament control, retraction, and print quality, especially with flexible materials like TPU and TPE.

Advantages

Direct drive extrusion reduces stringing and oozing, enhances retraction precision, and allows reliable printing of flexible filaments. The all-metal aluminum alloy construction ensures durability and consistent performance. Installation is straightforward with the included custom bracket and NEMA 17 stepper motor.
