Upgrade Guide

  • Your upgrade kit will have the following components:
    • Fan duct and its corresponding screws.
    • Probe spacer and its corresponding screws.
    • Revo hotend with a spring, adaptor and nozzle.

  • During this upgrade, you will need:

    • 1 x 2.5mm hex key
    • 1 x 2.0mm hex key
    • 1 x 1.5mm hex key
    • Revo Sprite upgrade kit
    • Phillips PH00 screwdriver
  • Before you start the upgrade, make sure to do the following steps:
    • Unload any filament.
    • Unplug your printer from the power source.
  • Identify the 4 cap head screws located on the right side of the extruder. Unscrew them using 2.5mm hex key. Make sure to keep the screws somewhere safe, as they will be used later.

Unscrewing cap head screws

  • As the screws are tightening the bracket holding the extruder, we recommend that you hold the extruder while unscrewing the last screw because the extruder may fall and damage your build plate.
  • Carefully remove the extruder by isolating it from the holding bracket.

Isolating the extruder

  • Locate the grub screw on the heatsink. You can easily access it from the back of the extrduer. To remove it, turn it counterclockwise using a 2.0mm hex key, making one full rotation.

Locating the grub screw

  • Locate the vertical screws holding the hotend, and unscrew them using a 1.5mm hex key.

Unscrewing vertical screws

  • Make sure to remove the hotend's socket so that you can have an easy access to the screws.
  • Mount your Revo Sprite adapter, and be mindful of the orientation.

Mounting Revo Sprite adapter

  • It's essential to ensure the flat section of the Revo sprite adaptor is facing towards you during assembly so that the grub screw has a flat surface to tighten against.
  • Locate the grub screw on the heatsink, and tighten your Revo sprite adaptor with a 2.0mm hex key.

Tightening the grub screw

  • Plug the heater (red-striped) and thermistor (yellow) cables into the mainboard.

Plugging in cables

  • Identify the probe spacer, and remove it using a 2.5mm hex key.

Removing probe spacer

  • You will not need these screws again as longer ones are provided in the upgrade kit.
  • Identify the fan duct, and remove the 3 screws holding it using a 2.0mm hex key.

Removing fan duct screws

  • 2x M3x4 BHCS are provided in the upgraded kit to tighten the new fan duct.
  • Remove the 4 screws using a 1.0mm hex key, and keep the fan to mount it on the new duct.

Removing fan screws

  • Identify the probe spacer, and place it between the CR touch and the bracket. Tighten it using a 2.5mm hex key.

Installing new probe spacer

  • Make sure to use the screws provided in the upgarde kit which are slightly longer.
  • Mount the fan on the duct and tighten it using the self tapping screws.

Mounting fan on duct

  • Be mindful of the fan's mounting direction so that the air blows towards the tip of the nozzle!
  • Locate 2x M3x4 BHCS in the upgrade kit, and use them to tighten the fan duct.

Tightening fan duct

  • Mount the Revo Sprite extruder on the printer's bracket. Tighten all screws using a 2.0mm hex key.

Mounting extruder on bracket

  • Before you start your first print with the Revo Sprite extruder, it's essential to check whether any adjustments to the z-offset are necessary.
