Opponents in previous reviews were wrong.

Arrived on time, all parts (there were still a few screws left) were in the bag, only detailed installation instructions were missing. That being said, there are LOTS of how-to videos on how to install this update on the Creality Ender 3 printer. I'm almost a total newbie to 3D printing, so I watched a few (none was better than the other). encountered). ) and after looking at the details I decided there weren't any real gotchas, other than maybe making sure you didn't overtighten any of the…

I think this is the best upgrade so far. Excellent customer service from Creality. I ordered the red version of this part and expected to receive the parts as

High retraction prints flattened the filament so it couldn't enter the Bowden tube. Prints like the classic Cute Octopus started to fail. I think the problem is two-fold…
