3D printer FREE DIY direct drive extruder upgrade, improves print quality for Ender 3 Pro, CR-10

- In this video, I will upgrade this printer to a direct drive extruder, you can do the same upgrades to the Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, CR10 or any similar FDM 3D Printers.
It’s a pretty simple upgrade, we just need to print a mount and move the stepper motor and the extruder from the original position to the top of the hotend. Then, we will cut a very short piece of bowden tube to connect the extruder with the hotend, this will become a direct drive extruder printer.
Since we put the stepper motor and the extruder on top of the X-Axis, when the X-Axis travels to the far side, it drops a little bit and becomes too close to the print surface. The only way to improve this is to install a Dual Z-Axis.
I will make another video to install a Dual Z-Axis, if you buy a Dual Z-Axis kit, it should cost around $50. But I have a DIY solution, you just need to buy a stepper motor, a lead screw, some screws and 3D print the parts you need, I will make another video for this upgrade and post it next week.
Thank you so much for watching!

Maybe in bad condition, but if you know how to fix some common issues of a 3D printer and have spare parts to replace by yourself, that could be an amazing deal:

I have never heard any tutorial that had clear instructions with clear words like yours
Put a huge smile on my face to see a girl so young teaching 3D printing/engineering. This kind of self-confidence and skills early in life will do more for you than you can possibly imagine. 💙🎉Congrats! Keep helping others and finding things you enjoy to work on and you'll go far.

You are the best !!!!! your tutorials really break things down. Great work!!!!!
One of the best DIY 3d printing videos I have ever seen. Clear and concise, no filler or messing around. Excellent!
You're an amazing young lady...extremely intelligent, informative, and confident in your presentations. You and your brother produce incredible videos! 👏
Your tutorials are quick, simple and brilliant. I love this!
WOW! What an articulate young lady. Viewed your three videos and I have to say that you and your brother are doing an excellent job with the recording and editing. I’m just getting ready to get into 3d printing and I found your videos both entertaining and instructional.
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for your next video
Glad it was helpful, thank you!
剪接非常好👍🏻👍🏻
@@catherinelung2656 you think so? I thought it was Fan-Tas-Tic
Such as a smart and gived young lady. You providing me in depth knowledge of 3D printing. I can assured you. You will be a future professional engineer going down the track. Your presentation and in-depth Illustration are excellent. Good on you.
Absolutely the most informative video I've seen. Thank you, keep it up.
Better explained than most videos out there. keep it up this is really good and easy to follow.
I am really impressed by the quality of your videos. Clear, factual, evidence based and to the point. Great work.
AMAZING, the amount of knowledge is impresive!
So pleased I found your channel. Beautifully presented videos with clear diction and explanations.
Really great video and enjoyed the ending footage :) The knowledge about the extra weight of dual drive was very helpful!
the voice explanation is so professional.
I often watch RUclips videos about printers and printing. I often fall asleep halfway through or earlier. Not so with your videos, to the point and very informative. It shows that your knowledge is very solid and you bring it over very well. I love your videos, I want more. So detailed and well explained. In my book, this is a direct drive extruder system with a not-so-full metal hot end. It prints well and makes filament change very easy. I added a $ 6 full metal extruder just because I had one.
Impressed. Hope to see more from this young lady
Amazing, articulate and well informed tutorial. keep it up!
Really great video! I've been considering this for my V2
This is a really great tutorial. Thanks for making it.
This video really helped me quite a lot, thank you so much!
Really good explained and with good graphics, easy to understand! This is how tutorials should look, 10 of 10 points! ^^
Great video! Helps out alot!

Glad you liked it!
great video thank you
very nice video, thnak you
God Tier Presentation
Thank you for teaching me aurora
thanks for the video! learning from you :) xoxo!
Aurora tutorials are the most comprehensive and simplest to follow. You helped me thru Ender 5 starting setup and some upgrades. Have you taken a look at the OMG v2-s dual gear extruder? I think it would be great on Ender 5. Btw behind the scene is fun and natural. Thank you for the tutorials.
Thank you very much for choosing our OMG extruder upgrade!
your bro is so lucky to have a sibling like you!
Thank you
She is very good and very adorable!
I modded my ender 3 pro. Great mod, had to diy a longer cable tho. Gantry balanced with 1 motor.
I like your tutorials, thank you so much, please a word of warning, never hold the object to be drilled in your hand, use a bench vice, if the object catches on the bit, it will spin resulting in severe lacerations and possibly cutting of tendons in your hand. I have witnessed the damage myself and attended the ER.
i love you
Thanks for telling me that direct drive will ruin my ender3v2 printer (without adding double z rods). *You are very cute little girl.*
can i use it on my creality cr-6 se?
Hi. I did that upgrade on my Ender 3 pro. What cura profile do you recommend or use to print in PLA with .4 nozzle?
Anyone have a Link for cable extension? Please
Thanks for sharing Aurora, I would like to know if the ender 3 direct drive extruder kit is compatible and possible to install into a 3d printer Two Trees Bluer plus, you know say me?
The bluer plus direct drive conversion requires much more works, I would suggest replacing the stock bowden tube to a SHORTER Capricorn tube to improve retractions.
Cartilage... haha! It`s cartridge dear :) Great presentation and wonderfully articulated aswell. Keep up the good work!
People underestimate what kids can accomplish.
DirectDrive will not work for CR10S Pro V2 :(
I have a direct extruder upgrade on the CR-10S Pro v2 2 years ago, search for OMG extruder and you will see my video.
@@AuroraTech Thanks, on it !!!
not really a direct drive extruder. This is more of a super short bowden tube.. Warping of the tube or trying to use PTFE will be difficult without melting it.
Yes, you are right, a super short bowden tube almost direct extruder, just like those from Creality and Micro-Swiss, they are all with a short bowden tube.
Any benefits of the true direct drive extruder (brands ?) over the "short bowden tube" "almost direct extruders" ?@@AuroraTech
bowden tubes are a scam. pure trash. i've got both types of extruders... i've had NOTHING but trouble with bowden tubes. ridiculous design.
