Ender 3 Hotend, Authentic Creality Assembled Hotend Kit 3D Printer Parts with 5X 0.4mm Nozzles for Ender 3 Ender 3 V2 and Ender 3 Pro

Worked as expected.

My Ender 3 Pro stopped heating the front end, it may have been the heater cartridge, but I did not have time nor the energy to confirm so I just decided to buy the whole heating assembly, with the wiring and everything where the filament goes through. The original color of the heatbreak was silver and this new one is red, but seem to be the same and just as good. After everything assembled, the printer runs as good as new.

Leaks around the extension to the heat sink. Worked like the stock one for the first couple hours then spaghetti. Just bought a micro swiss to replace it.

Its the same thing your printer came with. Its not outstanding, but its reliable, cheap, and you know exactly what youre getting. Works great for me.

I messed up my print nozzle. Was happy to find a replacement was available thru Amazon. My previous CReality printer this was not the case, so some progress there. For this one I needed to cut wires and solder new ones together which only says the printer design is not optimized for switching out this component. But the end result was that it works fine. It might be my imagination, but this nozzles seems to heat up quicker than the original one. If someone else senses this and posts it here, consider it - otherwise might just be my imagination. (What I see is heating up it frequently jumps 5 degrees when before 4 or 3 was common per iteration)

Purchase arrived in good condition.

After breaking something (probably a thermistor lead) in my original 3Max hotend, I decided to replace the whole unit and worry about fixing the original one later. The whole process took an hour or so--maybe 10 screws, a beer and a little cussing. Its all pretty obvious where things go but rerouting the wires though the mesh is a pain. To save yourself some aggravation, tape the ends of the wire bundle together to help keep it from separating or getting stuck when putting the new wires back through the sleeve. I was back up and printing in no time.

Mine was red - I read other reviews saying theirs was silver so I thought Id mention it. Four stars for ease of use as it took me a moment to install, but once I got the plugs figured out it was a breeze. Ill also mention that this is a direct replacement part, so all the wires end in the corresponding/necessary connectors. The pictures dont really show that, and I know some out there might be hesitant about it if theyre not super technically savvy - if you assembled your Ender, you can easily install this. I feel like it works better than the original, but that could just be that I was happy it wasnt broken anymore. Bonus, it also comes with extra nozzles and some silicone heat shields, which are always welcome. TLDR: if you need to replace your hotend on your Ender 3 Pro, this is perfect a plugnplay replacement.

Exact fit for my Ender 3.

My printer canes back to life, it works exactly as the original
