Creality Cr10 owners - special factory upgrade

[Redbrickman]

If you already own a CR10 then you may be interested in a special offer upgrade from the factory. at 99 cents its a steal! No affiliation with the company, I just spotted it this morning and thought I'd pass it on.

I ordered/paid for my FREE kit!

I decided to bite the bullet and go for one myself, and the offer was finished so that ended that...

They had 5000 to sell so must have flew off the shelves

It's not clear to me what the upgrade does. Is it just replacing existing parts with similar but more reliable ones? Or is it improving the design, or what?

I wasn’t to sure either, that’s why I delayed, on sale @ 90 cent it was the only way to find out, but now I’ll never know...
There’re not sold out, they are just back at the original price...

As far as I can see from the video on the page I linked to they improved the Extruder outlet bushing and added the strain relief part for the bed.

It was a handful of items that people strongly suggested new-owners print for their CR-10. Stuff like the heat-bed wires stress relief bracket, longer extruder arm & cable clip, etc.

Actually that strain relief part was desiged by a hobbyist and Creality asked him could they use it for their machines. After he agreed they sent him a printer as a thank you gift

Printing parts, and occasionally designing parts myself to improve my Anet A8 is what I've enjoyed most. I think that enjoyment has been worth a lot more than 99 cents to me.
