Build Quality
Customers have mixed opinions on the build quality of the Creality Official Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit for Creality Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 MAX 3D Printers. While some customers praise its well-made design, compact packaging and significant improvement in print quality, others report issues with the cabling being stiff, wires not reaching their intended connections, and poor machine quality leading to leaks or failure.
Compatibility
Customers have generally positive feedback regarding the compatibility of the Creality Official Sprite Extruder Pro Upgrade Kit with various Creality Ender series 3D printers, including Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 MAX. Some customers mentioned that they needed to update their firmware for a smooth installation process. Others reported excellent print quality and performance after the upgrade. However, some users noted that switching back and forth between the stock component and the upgraded one required caution with Z height adjustments.

While most customers are pleased with its fast heating and improved print quality, some have reported issues with the reliability of the heater element causing thermal runaway or damage to their printers. It's important for users to pay attention to the orientation of the heater cartridge and ensure proper installation to avoid potential electrical shorting.

Packaging/appearance
