Authentic Creality Aluminum Extruder Upgrade Kit for All Creality Printers with Capricorn PTFE Teflon Tubing, Upgraded Premium Metal Bed Springs, PC4-M10 Pneumatic Fittings and Two Blue Collet Clips

Incorrect parts sent. Included extruder has not threads where the nozzle will attach. Contacted company and will see what happens.

I love this, it is like an all in one kit with all the necessary parts for a good head start in the hobby of 3D printing!

I have read and seen the horror stories of the plastic extruders breaking and destroying a print. So, when I got my ender 3, the first purchase after filament was this aluminum extruder kit. I put in place of the stock unit and printed a direct extruder setup from thingiverse. now I have a direct drive printer that stays perfectly level, thanks to stronger springs and can print flexibles with ease. I bought a $2 all alum extruder from WISH and it works, is better than the plastic on my Voxelab Aquila, but, man does it feel like junk! I will be buying this again, and soon.

The whole set is a waste of money and time! I installed it less than 2 months ago, first the bowden tube was uneven and clogged up the first day, the inside of the tube is not consistently sized and I ended up buying a few meters myself and replacing it. The springs helped for maybe a week then I had to adjust the level with each and every print as they weakened. Then the extruder itself is now useless, one of the gears stripped and literally fell off the extruder mid print! Seems to me that anything labeled Creality is just going to be junk from now on. I love my ender 5 plus, but Im pretty much having to replace everything constantly with other parts. If it wasnt for the print size Id get rid of the whole thing and get another printer.

Absolutely terrible, it was missing threading from the place where you’re supposed to put the pneumatic connector. I came up with the solution of just super gluing a nut to it, which will probably come back to bite me in the ass later. No customer service. Terrible

Everything was good but the springs they are 4mm too long for ender3/pro springs

I decided to only write a review after using it for 4 months. I am very happy. The springs for bed is awesome, all the movement is gone and you dont have to level the bed often. Aluminium extruder is great quality, way better than the standard plastic. The Capricorn tube handles the heat very well. So overall I am very happy with all the components.

Don’t bother. Just return your Ender before you waste more money.

Very simply a perfect drop in replacement for the plastic extruder that comes on the ender 3. No burrs, perfect fitment.

After a year of running the stock plastic extruder and tubing. I decided to change it. Ive had a couple of the plastic parts break off, suffered from some gear drag, print failure, and the small feed area where the filament enters the extruder was sharp, causing the filament to shave. Also, I discovered a crack on the bottom of the arm. In the past, Ive had excellent service and other products from F1RST LAYER, so there was no doubt where I would spend my money. The package arrived in short order and the install was simple. I would tell you to clean (learn how to) your hotend before installing the new Capricorn Bowden Tube. Its not terribly difficult. In short, turn the unit on and disable the steppers. Heat the hotend to 200 degrees, unload the filament. Remove the pneumatic fitting at the top of the hotend. Make note of how deep the tube is and match the length of the new tubing. Cut them to match. Cut at a 90-degree angle, this will ensure a proper fit and lessen the chance of leaks. Disconnect the tube connector and press the old tube into the hotend, remove any filament with a pin from inside the tube. Repeat until it is clear of filament and there is none oozing from the nozzle. Remove and replace the nozzle with a new one (not included) You should have some that were supplied with the Ender. If not clean with a brass brush and reinstall. Now, with the hotend still at 200 degrees, install one of the stainless steel pneumatic fittings. DO NOT over-tightening, but make it tight, you dont want to crack the heater block. Take the new Bowden tube and press it down through the stainless fitting into the hotend with some pressure to make it seat all the way down. Hold it there for about 15 or 20 sec so the tube heats up and seats properly. Power off the unit. Mount the Extruder according to the F1RST LAYER supplied directions. Turn the power on and heat the hotend to 200 degrees. Feed the filament into the tube while holding the feed arm you should manually extrude several mm of filament through the nozzle. Power it down and make all connections secure. Reconnect the new tubing to the wire loom just like it was, and youre done.
