The Bondtech DDX Direct Drive extruder for 3D printers Creality is an upgrade kit that replaces the original bowden with a direct-drive configuration. It is a high-performance Dual Drive extruder based on the Bondtech Mini Geared BMG.
It comes with all the parts needed to upgrade a Creality 3D printer from bowden to direct drive. One can reuse the standard thermistor, heater,hotend, nozzle and fans. However, one can also upgrade thehotend to Copperhead or Mosquito.
The DDX v3 version is compatible with many models and features a new and much simpler configuration process. Specifically Bondtech DDX v3 For Creality Ender/CR-10(S) is compatible with the following models:
- Ender-3
- Ender-3 v2
- Ender-3 Pro
- Ender-5
- Ender-5 Pro
- Ender-5 Plus*
- Ender-6
- CR-10 (Mini)
- CR-10S
- CR-10 S4
- CR-10 S5
- VoxelLab Eagle
*Note: Using DDX on Ender-5 Plus: In the Ender-5 Plus, the DDX fan cover clashes with the right guide, especially when using a longer hotend such as the Mosquito or Copperhead, if nothing about the unit is changed. To solve this problem, the STL file for the new Z-axis support is available.

The DDX v3 is much easier to install
Thanks to the cover and integrated fan mount, the DDX v3 is even easier to install. In fact, the fan can be attached to the cover without the use of screws. The height of the cover can be adjusted with a front access screw.
Using a print bed leveling sensor
The DDX is designed to leave room for the print bed leveling sensor to be attached to the X carriage. In models where space is not available to attach a probe, such as the BL Touch, to the X carriage, a holder can be printed to attach to the right side of the DDX.
Direct-drive extruder Bondtech DDX v3
This Direct Drive extruder from Bondtech is a high-performance, high-reliability 1.75 mm Dual Drive extruder for 3D printers Creality, based on the BMG. Dual-Drive technology from Bondtech, combined with the standardhotend or, for even better performance, the industry-leading hotend Copperhead or Mosquito from Slice Engineering, provides a direct-drive extruder with trouble-free material feed and allows a wider range of materials to be used. The housing parts are molded from PA12 (polyamide) for maximum strength and precision using industrial-grade SLS technology.
Improve your 3D printer
The eXtruder Bondtech DDX v3 Direct Drive for Creality is designed to give the user more options-different materials, higher flow and/or larger nozzles, thinner layers-and achieve superior print quality. The housing design of the DDX v3 ensures effective cooling of thehot-end. Thanks to the 3:1 transmission ratio, you can achieve high resolution prints with small nozzles or high flow prints with larger nozzles.
Easy to install
For easy installation, the kit is attached to the cart with only 2 screws.
