Absolutly the best Direct Drive replacement
I have tried many extruders over the years and this is the best all in one Direct Drive extruder I have ever used. The kit came with the everything I needed to add this to my Ender 3 v2. Installation was straight forward and the documentation online was easy to follow. My only complaint was the built in mount for the CR Touch is ever so slightly to low for a BL Touch so I did end up buying the CR Touch to finish this install The prints are beautiful with out any tuning what so ever other then adjusting e-steps For settings in Cura I ended up using the Ender 3 s1 Pro settings, and they worked perfectly.

Incredible performance!
Takes a half an hour or so to install (you will need to rewire motherboard connections), but the print quality is *incredible* compared to the stock hotend and extruder setup on an Ender 3 / most Creality printers. Night and day difference when printing small features thanks to the greatly improved retraction performance, and a smoother surface finish elsewhere (all printed with PETG). Haven't tried TPU yet but I have no doubt this extruder / hotend assembly will print it easily. 10/10 would (and do) recommend to anyone I know with an Ender 3.

Blue screen!!!
It took me a few days to actually start printing due to connecting two of non- functioning wire on this extruder on to my V4.2.7 board. The sprite extruder came with two extra wires which served no purpose. I installed all the connections without reading the manual, this caused me to have a blue screen on my ender 3 pro. After a few days of installing and writing my own firmware is when I discovered this problem. Once the extra two wires were removed, every component on my ender 3 pro worked flawlessly (with the latest combo firmware flash on creailty's website). If you run into a blue screen and flashing the firmware isnt helping, try looking at the manual and identify the two non functioning wires and make sure they are disconnected!

Complete drive and hot end assembly.
I liked this product being complete and ready to go out of the box. The build quality is great, and adding the cl touch was easy. Great upgrade for your Ender 3.

Seems solid, but not compatible with my Longer printer
I took a chance on purchasing this. I have a Longer LK4 and was getting conflicting info on if it would work or not. It will not, at least not without doing some re-wiring. Still it appears to be a pretty solid unit, well constructed. I had to return it because it wouldn't work and was a little disappointed as it looked like it would have been great. But since I couldn't test it, all I can do is comment on the looks and feel of it. Despite the inexpensive price, it didn't feel cheaply made. Based on feel alone, I am giving it 3 stars. Can't honestly give more than that without being able to physically use it though.

Finally Cleaner ABS Prints!!
I’ve struggled for years to get clean ABS prints with the bowden tube setup and an upgraded hot end, but when I saw this in a 3D printing forum with someone else proclaiming it fixed their ABS issues I jumped and ordered it - and boy am I glad I did. Layer adhesion and consistency is FAR better. I haven’t tried TPU yet, but everyone says it does great. Don’t keep guessing - buy this…

Trash.
Every time I try to print with this extruder anything that takes less than two days to print is fine, but anything that takes more the extruder filament push gear slips, which causes the dual gear system to click and the filament to stop extruding, mid print, I have tried disassembling it cleaning it and reassembling it and every single time I get the same problem. I have tried asking for help, but nobody knows, I don’t know what else to do so I’m writing this review to let everyone else know that this extruder is very unreliable.. use PRUSA or another company.
