Creality Upgrade Ender 3 Extruder, Ender 3 V2 Upgrades Metal Extruder Aluminum MK8 Bowden Extruder 40 Teeth Drive Gear for Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 Pro/Ender 5 Plus/CR-10 Series 3D Printer

Well, Amazon reminded me to review this today, which was appropriate seeing as I ordered this over 2 weeks ago. Literally today, the coupler that connects the PTFE tube to the printer stopped biting on the tube, and pushed it right out. Filament was everywhere. Solid product other than that, but have extra couplers on hand.

Works for most filaments except TPU. The PTFE fittings aren’t very reliable. Overall great bang for the buck though.

Seems in the pic and in my package, you include a PC4-M6 and a PC4-M10 fitting... When the extruder uses PC4-M10s, so you shouldve sent 2 PC4-M10s. Not a problem for me, absolutely would be a problem to 90% of the people you sell this to.

First off I have the ender three pro Secondly excellent product -I wore out the original plastic part until it literally snapped on the feeder arm -i used all of the original screws from my old parts instead of the new ones and kept the old 40 tooth gear that was still attached -instillation was easy if not a little time consuming The first friend I tried after installation went flawlessly and previously seen errors disappeared

Since it’s metal compared to plastic from stock it won’t break for me

Im so glad I changed this. It helped me out a lot with printing. It was easy to instal. The springs also helped me with leveling my bed much easier. I leveled it yesterday, AC was on and off, and completed 3 prints. The bed is still leveled, which is perfect.

Works great

Easy install off the bat, on Ender 3V2. Had a clogging issues because I didn’t seat the ptfe tube far enough into the extruder but once I cleared the jam and reinstalled it works very smooth not catching or dragging of the filament. Springs are very stout curbs the issue of contatantly having to relevel the bed.

Not worth the upgrade. Keep the plastic one. And if you want one. Don’t buy this one because they made it so that screws won’t reach far enough and I had to grind part down to make it work.

This metal extruder made for a nice upgrade on my Ender 3 Pro. The plastic factory extruder cracked and this kit includes a much higher quality metal extruder. Instructions are included, but there may be a tiny bit of variation depending on your printer. My packaging was missing the screws that hold the filament tension spring in place. With the old plastic extruder in hand I was able to salvage some pieces to make everything fit. The Capricorn bowden tubing included in the packaging works great so far too. Im familiar with using Capricorn tubing and this seems legitimate and has held up throughout a week of constant printing. There should be enough Capricorn tubing for 2 uses, but it varies depending on your setup. The only thing included I did not use were the bed springs. I already have silicone bed mount spacers that work well and didnt want to mess with the great results they were providing. For the $15 price, there is a lot of value here! The metal extruder is quite the upgrade and is much easier to load filament.
