Before getting into the details, lets look at some basic terminology you’ll need to know about 3D printer extruders in general. The Sprite extruder is compact and small, with a 25mm motor to reduce the total weight of the print head. Does require a bit of tweaking of the printer configuration to get Z offset and Steps/mm correctly but there's plenty of videos on youtube. This drop-in Sprite upgrade offers most of the advantages of a direct drive extruder, but due to its design, it does result in a slightly longer filament path from the extruder to the hot end compared to the fully integrated version of the Sprite.I selected the F401 chip and insert the SD card into the board, It doesn’t flash, just boot straight to the normal screen. Keep in mind that upgrading to a dual-drive extruder will require you to calibrate E steps—more on this in the next section. It seems that Creality designed their own gears which are a bit larger and they don’t have the rounded profile for gripping the filament more efficiently.

This allows the Sprite Pro to heat up to 300° C, which enables it to print high-temperature materials such as nylon.That said, we have had success with both styles of extruder, so we haven’t seen a huge difference between geared versus ungeared extruders. Now that you have completed the installation process, you will also need to adjust the e-steps setting on your printer to compensate for the gear ratio of the Sprite extruder. Go to Preferences -> Configure Cura -> Printers -> Machine Settings and replace G28 ; Home all axes with G28 X Y ; Home X and Y axes. It is installed easily, but when the extruder is attached (using the four screws provided) it is turning about 4 degrees clockwise (left side pulls away), so it is not square with the backboard.
