Working good - Quite Pleased!!
The unit was easy to install on the Ender 3 Pro and I'm quite pleased with the results. Everything needed comes packaged in the box, separated and bagged so as not to lose the small parts. The backplate was preassembled, requiring only snugging up the bolts and adjusting for play. Attaching the hotend was straight forward and the blue tube provided was square cut and required no trimming. Installing the extruder took a little time but only because I wanted to use a black one (staying with the color scheme) and I didn't have the right screws on hand. Once I acknowledged the fact and went back to what was provided everything went together in minutes. Putting the hotend cover/fans back on went as planned however, the metal bracket that holds on the BL Touch unit was too tall. A problem quickly resolved with a cut off tool and back in business. Finished up with a few zip ties, loaded it up and did a couple test prints, now to fine tune my settings.I would buy it again, in fact just sent my daughter one and have another sitting in the cart for my son.

Ender3 PRO, It sits a little funky.
This will fit an ender 3 Pro!The only thing is, there is a piece that your stock part cooling fan(the one on the side) attaches to, that will sit against this plate, thus holding the fan assembly out, and at a bit of a skew...it's JUST the fan cover...the hot end will mount flush like it's supposed to...Your original bracket, allows that ridge from the fan assembly to set just to the outside of the plate, since this plate is wider, allowing for the extra roller, causes the fan assembly to sit on top of the bracket now.Not a deal breaker.It is not in the way of anything, no risk to crashing into parts or anything....just looks funny..Parts still cool , as I have done some mild testing, hot end is able to maintain proper temps, (I did swap out the factory 3pro hotend for the factory all metal hotend from my 3Max, as I upgraded it too, when I installed this direct drive bracket on the 3 Pro.)The supplied extension cable for the extruder motor is great! Plenty long with room to spare!The rollers seem good quality, and glide across the rig with ease.And yes, the supplied belt does fit!PRO TIP: *ADJUST YOUR E-STEPS !!!!!!*I never did this when I got the printer, because I was happy it just "worked" out of the box....BUT.....none of these printers are spot on accurate from the factory, and if you do this mod, you ABSOLUTELY need to take this time, to set your E-Steps properly!Just search the Googles for "how to set your E-Steps".....it's SUPER simple.It printed great after installation, but it still wasn't "right" , with less flex from the old Bowden tube, and less retraction distance from the old Bowden tube, I knew it could do better, and after adjusting the E-Steps, it prints like butter.Sure, it adds a little weight to the rail, but, it's not bad at all...no "need" to worry about needing to upgrade to dual z axis rods....as long as you have your rollers adjusted properly, a d you aren't trying to break any land speed printing records, it's fine.....I wound it up to see how fast I could get the machine printing, just for the fun of it....I'm not going to put the numbers down, cause I don't want to be responsible for you trying it as well, but I will say, I'm reallllllly impressed....and now realize I may need a better table. Epstein didn't kill himself.(No, I'm not planning on printing at those crazy speeds, I just wanted to see "if" it could do it ...yep..it do'd it...it do'd it well...haha!Warning* DO NOT BEND THE BLUE TUBE IN THE SLIGHTEST!!!!!!!*If you do, go ahead and throw it away.... seriously...if you happen to bend it, get a piece of filament and run inside it....CHECK IT BEFORE INSTALLING IT!I had to reuse my old ptfe tubing cause I bent the blue tube and it caused an ugly kink inside the tube. Filament stopped dead in its tracks when I tried to thread a piece though it.The goal is zero drag...not what I did.The tube is ok, it's rather stiff, but, I didn't get to test it, cause I messed it up right off the bat. That's my fault. It should work, if you do it right.For what you get , I'd say it's worth it.(So far so good, that is)If anything changes, I'll be back to update, but, it all seems pretty solid.Happy printing!

Great But Here's the Solition to the Caveat
Someone else in the review had the same issue with the bolt hitting the X axis metal. I flipped it so the lower left bolt is in the front and the screw on the back. I didn't feel like sanding the bolt.That set aside, direct drive is great. I have one on my CR-10. I decided to get a mount for my Ender 3 Pro.

Best thing I got for my Ender 3 Pro!
Out of all the things I've done to upgrade my Ender 3 Pro this is the best hands down. I love the way it prints and the quality of the print. I sell many products produced on this and other 3D printers I own and I wish I could get this to work on my Anet A8 Plus, but it won't. You can't go wrong with this product.Hope this helps,ohawk52

Not the same...
Not sure what happened but this one is not good at all.Directions are poop, the lower bolts are too small so I used the bolts from my original part. The wheels, at least in has a knock on it so it skips on the guide rail.I have four others and those worked great, but this one not so good!If I never had not purchased 4 units earlier and had good results this would be a 1 star review.Kinda bummed.
