This is an upgrade kit that converts an Ender 3-series printer from Bowden to direct drive, moving the extruder motor onto the hotend carriage. The short filament path improves retraction control and makes flexible filaments like TPU practical to print. It suits Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro and Ender 3 V2 owners who print slowly and want better control over stringing and flexibles. It is not a printer and adds weight to the gantry, so it is a worse fit for fast, high-acceleration setups than a modern lightweight direct drive machine.

Owners of Ender 3 printers generally report that the direct drive conversion improves control over retraction and makes TPU printable. Many say it takes some tuning and slows the machine down a little.
This is a direct drive extruder kit from Creality for the Ender 3. It uses FDM print technology and works with 1.75 mm filament.
