From video: Convert Original Ender 3 to TPU Direct Drive 3D Printer - Classic Filament Friday
Published: March 13, 2026

Video Description

In this week's classic Filament Friday episode, we go back 6 years ago to when Chuck showed you how to install Direct Drive on Creality Ender 3. He uses a fully assembled accessory for under $36. He shows you step by step how to install it and how well it works. Converting from Bowden style to Direct Drive offers some extra features such as printing flexible TPU Filament. See all the details in this week's Classic Filament Friday.
