I find it strange that this isn’t part of the extruder in the first place, especially when there is a perfect attachment place with threaded inserts all ready for it…
Anyway, I didn’t like the way the extruder release lever doesn’t have a proper place to grab against in order apply the necessary squeeze. So here is my add-on counter-lever for the Creality Sprite SE extruder (may fit other Sprite models, I didn’t check)
This is a small part, I printed it out of PLA with 20% infill and it is holding fine, but maybe PETG or even ABS would be a better choice. Attachment to the extruder is with three m3/6mm bolts.
