I think polarity does matter with this particular hotend on the board (4.2.7 Jyers firmware). When I first switched on and attempted to heat up the nozzle, the printer switched itself off and back on. When i switched the extruder heater cables over, the issue was gone.

@BV3D 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Bob, I think you're right. While the heater cartridge itself is not polarized, the breakout board on the Sprite side of the cable may be sharing ground lines between the heater cartridge and other components. If these are the wrong way around, the 24v line gets connected to ground when the printer tries to heat the nozzle, and the board resets. I'm pinning your comment so others see this.

@WillStrip4Bacon 2 жыл бұрын

Can confirm the polarity does make a difference. I had to take everything back apart because while testing preheating would loop the power. For the life of me I couldn’t remember where I saw this bit of info. Went back in switched the cables and bam temp didn’t power cycle

@BV3D 2 жыл бұрын

@@WillStrip4Bacon Sorry for the confusion on this one. I was thinking in terms of the heater cartridge not being a polarized component, and wasn't expecting the heater cartridge's "ground" lead to be shared with anything else on the Sprite's breakout board.

Bless you for making content like this. Some of us are on the casual end of 3D printing, and while we want the prints, and we sometimes require the upgrades to get there, we don't have the kind of engineer brains that easily memorize all the parts, ins, outs, etc. of our devices. I found this video after reading over a write-up on direct drive replacement for a stock E3v2, and it made such an assumption about my preexisting knowledge: there wasn't even a single photograph to help me understand. Being able to get this ELI5 breakdown with video examples of every single step is so important for a user like me, and this isn't the first time your channel has helped me out like this. Thank you for all your good work and your friendly, accommodating presentation. I, and people like me, really appreciate you.

Thank you for replying. With the help of my son looking at his and telling me he pulgged it in with the short wiring included with my auto leveler, I was able to install it. I didn't even remember that a short wire came with the cr touch! I removed the extruder so I could see and reach the spot. The last problem I am having is that the hot end probe isn't heating. It blacks out the printer control board screen, then restarts without starting the temp on the probe tip. Due to a nut placement on my Aquila mother board, I had reversed the connectors for the bed and hotend. after correcting the plugs, it is still blacking out the screen and restarting without performing the temp check.

I have this running on my Ender 3v2 :) On some versions of the sprite kit, the heater cartridge is disconnected from the back plate - look for the two red wires going from the heater cartridge to behind the fan. You need to fish out the plug, and plug it into the appropriate socket, or the hotend won't heat :) Also, thing 5421432 provides an adapter for the CR-Touch, without which the probe can' reach the entire bed.

@seankealy5254 2 жыл бұрын

What X and Y offset did you use with this adapter? I updated my ender v1 to a 4.2.7 board and the sprite pro with the cr touch. I found another video that gave the offset and it seems to work well. My biggest issue is I’m trying to figure out how to change the mesh distance. When it goes full right it will grind due to the size of the sprite pro. Any suggestions? I’m using the creality firmware for the 3v1

Good call. Mine failed to heat up on first try. Then read you comment and pulled the head off and the heater wire was tucked in behind the fan.

Great video, Bryan. When I upgraded a "Ender style" printer to direct drive, I left part of the old extruder installed that held the PTFE tube collet. It turned it into a reverse-bowden setup that allowed me to keep the spool next to the printer as well as keep the filament runout sensor.

Keeps from having to reengineer a place for the sensor on a top feed spool holder.

I got this a few months back and installed on my Ender 3 V2. I had few issues that I wasn’t able to sort out so I went back to Bowden. I will say, the few prints I was able to do with this extruder I was very happy with. I do own a CR Touch and when I reached out to creality about the cable, they sent me one gratis which was cool. Regardless with the CR Touch installed I couldn’t use the max build volume given the new offsets. I know now there are some firmware tweaks to do to fix that. My other big issue was the thermistor connector would never seat correctly on the board. It would constantly come loose resulting in the printer going into thermal run away and shutting off. I’ve since shelved the sprite but I plan on revisiting once I get a second printer, my plane was to buy and Ender 3 Max and try my luck there.

I did this upgrade this evening, along with putting ferrules on the main power and bed wires. Did the ferrules first and made sure that was done properly before swapping the extruder. Other than a tight workspace for fat fingers it went well. Turned it on, and no magic smoke. Tested the fans, all good. Hot end was showing -14°C...hmm Let's do a PID tune. BEEEEEP MINTEMP error. Open up the electronics box, check the thermistor cable. Seems to be seated fine, but still giving an error. Plugged the old thermistor in to make sure I didn't bugger up the board and it was fine. Plugged the new one back in and checked the cabling. Apparently the cable didn't seat properly on the extruder end. Reseated it, and it was happy. What should have been a fairly quick swap took a few hours to complete.

I like how you do these upgrade video's. Minimum off-topic rambling while touching on all the pertinent actions that need to be taken. I'm watching your installation of Sprite Pro to a 4.2.7 board primarily to verify my wiring. Those spare JST male plugs make this task harder than it needs to be. One observation that I have noticed several instruction videos say is this. " No mount for BL-Touch." There is no mount on the X-Axis plate as you say, but the mount is on the extruder itself. Just to the right of the hot end cooling fan. Sort of between the hot end fan and the part cooling fan. I ran a thin wire fish tape through that long ribbon cable and pulled the BL-Touch wire up to the Sprite.

Nice walkthrough. Have one of these things on order (delivery expected this coming Wednesday) for my E3v2 after having multiple headaches over the past couple of years with the stock hotend that I just can't seem to fix in a way that lasts. I'll get it working "just right", and it'll be good "for a while", then it'll start jamming at the nozzle - it behaves like a blocked nozzle, but no amount of pulls, or needle probes, or even nozzle replacement cures the problem long-term. I suspect that my bowden tube isn't getting placed "properly", or perhaps it's "burning away", or any of several other "perhaps..." items. Since the hotend fan is also doing a good impression of giving up the ghost, and I've been wanting to start working in TPU, which wants a direct drive extruder anyway, figured it was time to pull the trigger on getting the Sprite.

@workingTchr Жыл бұрын

I'm new to this but there's a heat sink in the electronics box, so something is getting hot. Since they put a fan in there, it could get too hot without the fan I'd think and possibly lead to damage or even fire.

Thanks for the tutorial Bryan! I have an Ender 3 Max Neo and after watching your video I could install it easily. But the printer doesn't work well with the CR touch being moved to the outside of the bed while leveling and the printer considering the printing area like the smaller versions. Creality doesn't have intention to release the firmware anytime soon and I'm not capable of compiling one myself, What do you recommend me to do? Thanks!

Hi Bryan. Great video. May I ask what's your overall experience with the sprite extruder pro kit? Have you tried the micro swiss NG DD?

I noticed in your video that your heater cartridge is already plugged in to the sprite's board but it did not come that way for me (and many others). The connector was wedged behind the fan and there was a blue note on it that said "connect before use". Wasn't anywhere in the instructions!

Bryan, I have installed this on my Ender 3 Pro with 4.2.7 hotend. I adjusted E/steps. Now I don't have the full use of my 220x220 bed. I have even set the Y offset to -65 and still missing about 20mm of the back half of my bed. Any ideas or adjustments in the firmware that I can make?

@SteveSoldier13 Жыл бұрын

I've also upgraded my Ender 3 Pro (not v2!) with 4.2.7 motherboard and with sprite extruder pro with bl touch and also have problems: the printhead works, but the printer only uses only 210x210 of the bed and the mesh of auto bed leveling is only in a small area, furthermore it's different from print area, furthermore the motherboard always reset itself and change langauge and zero probe offset. I've been mailing for weeks now with creality support with no luck! They are laughing at me, making fun of me :( If anyone has a working firmware, please tell me!

Excellent video. It make me drop the $110 to get it for my Ender 3 V2. My only downside so far is with the new X-carriage causing the X-axis stop to be about 6mm further to the right. This effectively reduces my maximum printable area by that same 6mm. To clarify, when the nozzle is homed, it's about 7mm from the left side of the bed when it used to be 1mm from the left edge of the bed. I see no way to move the X-axis stop switch 6mm to the left. My only two options that I see would be to just live with the lower printable area or machine 6mm off the X carriage triangular lobe. Has anyone else noticed this?

@@jenniferwhitman1115 I used the E step value in the guide that came with the Sprite Pro kit, 424.9. Is this what you mean? For my X-carriage being too far to the right, I ended up printing another KZfaqr's X-limit bracket (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsiZpMx5ucqbY6M.html) and moving the X limit switch to the left. Worked great.

Got my first 3d printer for Xmas this year. I bought this kit and installed it. The whole concept of offsets is really messing me up. This new carriage has a large lobe on left side X axis. Print head is way off the build plate. I spent days trying to understand offsets and the BL touch offsets to this new kit is a pain. I am about ready to throw the stock stuff back on.

Super helpful Bryan, thankyou! I did have an issue though. Everything was good to go until I heated up the hotend. I'm getting large fluctuation in temperature. I'm guessing that means either the block fan or is bad, or the thermistor is bad after all (it matched the bed on powerup)? I just want to make sure I'm not missing something before swapping for a new one.

In my Ender 3 Max 4.2.2, I'm pretty sure the hot end fan leads share the same connection as the mainboard fan leads. When I went back to start connecting things, the mainboard fan leads were dangling loose but were bent just right to suggest they were connected in the _same place_ the hot end fan leads were.
