Modular Direct Drive Upgrade Kit - Creality Ender 5 / Ender 5 Pro

Increase print quality, simplify retractions and filament changes, and print any material with ease with this modular direct drive kit, by far the easiest direct drive conversion kit available for your Creality Ender 5 / Pro 3D printer.

Lighter than a Titan Aero or Bondtech, the MDD takes just 20-30 minutes to install-- with no firmware changes, no printable volume loss, and no cutting or splicing required.

The MDD (or ”Modular Direct Drive”) easily converts your stock Ender 5 or Ender 5 Pro into a true direct drive 3D printer. While the MDD is compatible with many different hot end and extruder combinations, it was specifically engineered to convert your stock components into a powerful direct drive system with no additional hardware or wiring needed, making it the simplest and most flexible direct drive system.

Highlights:

✔️ Increase print quality and fix retraction issues
✔️ Does not require dual lead screws
✔️ Print higher temperature and flexible materials
✔️ Reduce retractions and ooze control
✔️ Easier filament changes
✔️ No firmware or boot-loader flashing
✔️ No cutting or splicing wires
✔️ Works with stock extruder and hot end
✔️ Compatible with many printable mods

Direct Drive vs Bowden Tube Extruders:

Bowden style extrusion systems like those found on Creality printers rely on long PTFE tubes to feed filament to the hot end, and as such are more prone to extrusion issues. While Bowden setups generally allow for lighter print head weights, mounting the extruder separately from the hot end comes at the expense of less precise retraction control and filament changes.

By contrast, direct drive extruders eliminate most common extrusion problems by mounting the extruder and hot end very close together, removing the need for the PTFE tubing in between and drastically shortening and simplifying the filament path.
