So my default ender 3 v2 hot end has been moving funny, it would print properly when it comes to small things, grinders, keychains, lighter cases etc. however when I print masks and other sorts of “bigger” prints, it would stop extruding mid print. I’ve read somewhere that my filament might be “dusty” and it causes a clog, I’ve read that the default extruder isn’t good, and the stock hot end isn’t as “lubricated” inside so the filament just clumps up.

I took a break from printing bc I couldn’t afford to buy all the upgrades in one shot, I just installed new springs and got rid of the glass plate. I have a dual z axis on my cart, but I’m just a little confused which hot end/extruder should I get.

The direct drive upgrade is $30, the spider high flow hot end is $60, sprite extruder pro kit is $110.

If anyone can drop the knowledge, I’d appreciate you forever.
