Installation is nice and simple, but software setup is a bit of a learning kerb, especially if you haven’t updated/changed the firmware before. Look on YouTube for guides and step by step instructions is the best way to make sure you get it right.
Be wary the first time you use it, and make sure to test that it stops correctly by activating the touch while it is still a good distance from the bed. This will reduce the risk to your bed and give you time to stop it if there’s an issue.
There is something about original equipment that you don’t get with even the fancy expensive pattern parts. I’ve had no trouble with these OEM hot ends, and I can’t see any reason you give them less than five stars. The cheap copies last for a very short time, and the expensive ones aren’t worth the money
Frustrating as I now need to find some.
After my disastrous attempt to mod my printer to be direct drive that killed my previous hot end I needed an upgrade to restore her to a Bowden setup, this has everything needed for that, and heats and cools quicker then stock and have had no issues so far with 12 prints successfully printed in two weeks with this upgrade,
Only gripe is the temperature wire is a little sho
Everything fits perfectly, and the cables are plenty long enough to go through the loom to the mobo.
It’s been in place now for about 3 weeks, and everything is printing exactly as I would expect.
Highly recommended replacement.
Works as required and fits quite easily. Simple unscrew the cover and original heater, remove cover to motherboard and unclipped the connector (this is the hardest part fuel to creality hot glue it in pace) and pull wires out of sleeve. Screw new heater in place, feed wires along sleeve and clip to motherboard. Put covers back on and it’s ready.
Simple and a better heater than the original on a basic Ender 3. Worth it.
