Creatlity sprite drive direct extruder - worth it??
Ok so I actually found a good deal on Amazon Prime day for something that's useful (I think)…the direct sprite extruder is $30 off (in Canada). Seems to have good reviews, but I don’t know what it actually improves. My printer gets about as much TLC as my hammers, and aside from this under-extrusion bs I’ve been trying to figure out, it’s still banging out prints. Thoughts?
Thanks!

I recently upgraded my Ender 3 to the Sprite. My two main reasons were:
1: it's all metal (the pro is at least) . I wanted the option of printing in ABS (if I some day have the time to do that)
2: it makes it so much easier for me to change out the filament.
I'm by no means a pro 3D printer, I mainly use mine to support other hobbies. I also like that I can print much faster with the Sprite (or so I think). I've also been printing almost exclusively in PETG since I got the Sprite.
Overall, I think it was a good investment. Could I have survived with the stock extruder? Absolutely, but I'm happy with the purchase overall.
Hope this helps!
