Creality Official Spider Hotend 3.0 Pro, Supporting 300℃ High Temperature Printing, Compatible with Creality Ender 3, Ender 3v2, Ender 3 pro, Ender 5 Series and CR-10 Series 3D Printer

This product increased my printing speed by double I can now run a print that would’ve normally taken me three hours in an hour and a half. It’s much more consistent.

Edit: After buying a new thermistor, and installing barely tightening the two grub screws, it is now working. Quick connect plug near the hot end was a definite plus, making for easy thermistor replacement—raised rating by 1 star.Original review:The Amazon listing shows the included parts, but does not tell what each is or what they are used for. In the box was a small set of instructions for the Spider V.2 instead of the Spider V.3. Went to the website via the CR code, only a commercial for this hot end. Again, no manual or instructions on how to install.Installing on Ender 3 Pro V.2, we cannot get consistent temperatures and are getting thermal runaway errors—May have damaged the thermistor. Unknown if thermal paste goes on the heater cartridge or just the thermistor cartridge—seen both in other hot end installs. This is after PID tuning and M500 to store PID info.Also could not get shroud back on machine until I figured out the attached top Bowden tube fitting needed to be switched for smaller fitting included in parts bag, but though other tools were included with the new hot end, no wrench would fit—had to look in our automobile toolkit to get an appropriate sized wrench to take off the larger fitting. This may have been how thermistor was damaged by stressing the wire or by over tightening the 2 grub screws.I would love to up the rating if we can get this hot end working—from all the v.2 videos we watched, it seems like Creality Engineers fixed the problems of the v.2 hot end with this new version, but marketing screwed the pooch by rushing out a product with zero documentation, either printed or online. A step by step install video from Creality for Ender 3 Pro and/or other machines would be awesome, or at least having updated their website to have support for this new product instead of just a new product video briefly showing new features, but none of the necessary info for installation.

The media could not be loaded. Simple installation. Compatible with ENDER 3 V2. I haven't tried testing the max temp yet with higher temp filament. Prints fine on regular pla, pla+Please use a good tuned firmware for this hotend and be cautious of your thermistor install as it's very fragile.I had to run an MPC Autotune twice to get a stable hot end temp using Mirscoc Firmware. Save/Store the settings after each run.If you have PID instead of MPC the use that.

I was excited to try out the [product name], especially since it's advertised as being able to handle temperatures up to 300°C—perfect for printing with high-temp materials like carbon fiber. However, I was disappointed to find that the included thermistor is only rated for 200°C, which is not suitable for the high-temperature range this product claims to support.While the hotend itself looks well-built and capable of reaching 300°C, you'll need to purchase a separate high-temp thermistor to actually reach those temps safely. This is frustrating for those looking for an all-in-one solution right out of the box.I’ll update my review once I’ve swapped out the thermistor and set everything up. If you're planning to print at high temperatures, be prepared to do some additional upgrades!Edit: Got it setup (not a drop in fit for the v2 neo) and have not got a single print out of it and it exploded and is no longer useable.

It also looks nicer than the stock hot end. A little pricy for what it is though.

Edit changed my rating because i figured out my problem. I had a fan failing allowing heat creep and causing clogging. After that it started to print better.

Ender 5 plus was acting up! Product fixed my printer and had it back to printing within 45 minutes!!!!

This is in regard to the Spider Hotend 3.0 Pro on an Ender 3 Pro.I've only tested the 0.4mm nozzle but print quality is very good when it works. No fine tuning was necessary for a print but I did run a PID tune to dial it in better. However, every time I change filaments I have had significant nozzle clogs that result in having to disassemble the entire hot end, manually clear the nozzle, and use cleaning filament or a cold pull. I have not experienced this on any other printers or hot ends I use.I've used with both the original control board and an SKR mini e3 v3. Previously used the stock hotend with 0.4 and 0.6 nozzles in brass and hardened steel without issue on a variety of beds.Packaging and included supplies are better than expected. Everything feels premium and impresses. But the constant clogging renders the hot end worthless for me.
