Creality Upgrade Ender 3 Hotend, Assembled Extruder with Capricorn Bowden PTFE Tubing for Creality Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 V2 with Silicone Cover×3, 0.4mm Ender 3 Nozzle×3 and 2 Pair Pneumatic Couplers

You cant beat the price for this replacement hot end. it was a quick easy install, make sure to take pictures or label what wires go where and itll be a breeze.

Not a direct replacement for Ender 3 Neo. Some adjustments required, wont just bolt on. Specifically I had to adjust the height of the extrusion tube within the heater block, as it came it was too short. Also the silicone nozzle cover wont fit on my Ender 3 neo. Otherwise it seems to function just fine. Next time Ill just order the direct factory replacement.

Im writing this review immediately after I installed it and I may update it later once Ive run some prints through it but I want to give my initial impression. For starters their is a short how to installation video on this page if you scroll past the pictures and the initial advertisement video. This is important because the instructions that come with it are basically non-existent. Also crimping the copper tube onto the thermal resistor doesnt necessarily go as well as it does in the video (at least not with the ender 3 pro) however it appears they include a replacement thermal resistor with a tube already over it for if/when you mess it up. Lastly, the new extruder is wider than my original so it took some coersian to get the fans back on after installing it. They did go on but its never good to forcing things into position.

I installed this in an hour or so, its fairly straightforward. Removing the hot glue is a bit of a pain but manageable. This fixed my printing issues, same as others have had, that developed around 1 year on my Ender 3 Pro. However after a few weeks the thermistor has been acting up and giving me thermal runaway warnings. The hotend temp occasionally bounces around way more than Id ever seen on the stock hotend. I bought a pack of replacements on Amazon, so I would recommend doing the same if you purchase this product.

My stock hot end got destroyed from a filament leak and had to replace it with this one. It was a good price and Ive had it no troubles with it for the last few months.

Product is fine but just so others are aware it’s not for the Ender 3 neo. I have had to put longer screws and slide the heat break further out of the red part just to get the nozzle past the frame of the printers hot end.

Quick shipping, easy installation and it works!
