Upgrading to a Creality Sprite direct drive extruder, whether the standard version or the Pro all-metal hotend variant, is a popular modification to improve print quality, especially with flexible filaments and high-temperature materials . This guide covers the complete installation process, from physical mounting and cable routing to critical firmware adjustments. The Sprite’s integrated design typically includes a carriage plate with wheels and a pre-assembled extruder mechanism, but installation requires careful handling of the ribbon cable and the relocation of your CR-Touch probe using the provided spacer . We'll walk through each step, including the essential firmware configuration for E-steps (typically around 424.9) and the correct probe offsets (approx. X -33, Y -42) to ensure your printer homes correctly and your mesh bed leveling covers the usable area .
