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

The Sprite extruder-only upgrade requires a different e-step value, which is a setting that controls how far the printer needs to turn the extruder motor to extrude a certain amount of filament. You can configure the e-steps for the Sprite extruder using this process: See if there is anyone with a printer.cfg file that matches my setup (or someone that can tell me how to go about creating one and where I can get the info from)

Thanks for creating this. I just finished the installation and was running thru the general configuration and ran into an odd issue. The BL Touch is failing to deploy the probe during Bed_Mesh_Calibrate but doesn’t fail when homing. Any ideas what would cause this issue? I ran the inital tests as well and they are failing as well. I can’t figure out why it would Home correctly but fail on everything else. Upgrading Ender 3 S1 Extruder to Sprite Extruder Pro. It's a drop in upgrade to Ender 3 S1 and CR 10 Smart Pro. The last thing you need to know is that in Jyers the Z homing is done off the corner, contrasted with the official Creality firmware. Therefore, you need to mind the header of the Gcode created by Cura (or your slicer). Change the 'home all axes' setting to just home the X and Y axis (so you start from the corner. This drop-in Sprite upgrade offers most of the advantages of a direct drive extruder, but due to its design, it does result in a slightly longer filament path from the extruder to the hot end compared to the fully integrated version of the Sprite. This means its retraction performance isn’t quite on par with the full Sprite upgrade, although it’s much better than a Bowden extruder. Additionally, its ability to print high-temperature materials is dependent on the hot end in use, so you will need an all-metal hot end to print high temperature materials. The Sprite Pro upgrade, on the other hand, includes an integrated all-metal hot end.

I will tell you values to live by, assuming you have an Ender 3v2. If you don't, buy yourself a Calliper, a ruler, or leave me alone. We'll start by copying what he does and searching for X_MIN_POS and Y_MIN_POS. If you're anything like me, this will do: One of the hardware features which makes the Ender 3 S1 such a good machine is the Sprite Extruder and Creality is also selling this as an upgrade for other machines. Next, you’ll need to add spacers to the hot end mount so that it is aligned with the extruder. Remove the two screws holding the hot end to detach it from the printer.

The new design works very well, and provides superior grip on the filament. Unfortunately, there are a few design flaws of this extruder which will cause it to wear over time: Metal single-gear extruder, which is a drop in replacement with no firmware updates needed ( upgrade instructions here) Remove the extruder motor cable from the existing Bowden extruder motor, and attach the included extension cable. Connect the extension cable to the Sprite extruder motor. There is a little bit of ringing present, but considering that Input Shaper has not been tuned, I am quite happy with the results.AWIN, Sovendus, Meta-Pixel, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, creativecdn.com (RTBHouse), Ads Defender Note that the Sprite is an integrated unit that includes both the extruder and hot end. In the original version of the Sprite, the hot end uses a short PTFE tube section and is able to print at up to 260° C. There is also a Pro version with an all-metal hot end, described in the next section. The hot end uses the standard nozzles found on many of Creality’s Bowden hot ends—a definite plus over some other designs that use non-standard nozzle threading.

There are a few less common issues that you may never encounter, but it is good to be familiar with in case they do happen: There is no reason to replace the whole Sprite extruder with the Pro version if you only want to improve thermal performance and eliminate maintenance from time to time, to replace the PTFE tube. 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. I might of found a solution to your problem on reddit. you need to edit the printer.cfg file on the sonic pad with these updates (they worked for me with a bit of fine tuning) [stepper_x]

Plug in the SD card and turn the printer on. This will trigger the board firmware update and the firmware will be flashed. It takes around 30 seconds. IdeaMaker Klipper Profile for Ender 3 S1 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. I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your printer by following this guide. You are doing this on your own responsibility.
