Creality Official Upgrade Extruder, MK8 Extruder Alloy Block Bowden Extruder 1.75mm Filament for Ender 3 Series, Ender 5/5 Plus/Pro, CR-10 Series 3D Printer

Works great

Lord knows how many extruders Ive been through. Landed on this one and never looked back. Its the only reliable extruder Ive used. I just put one on my 3rd printer and have yet to see any quality issues. Save yourself the headache of dual gear and all that other fad garbage, just buy this one and get back to printing!

This was a direct replacement for the stock plastic extruder. Works great and seems to provide a more reliable extrusion. Oddly I believe I have noticed a slightly improved print quality, which I did not expect.

Everything about this installation was easy and pretty self explanatory in the guide. They also included an extra extruder gear! The knob up top is3d printed and the tension adjustment is easy to use and works better then stock or the red aluminum upgrade. Save your money and buy this one!

Frienda had ordered in the past and I did when my extruder went. Solid parts but does leave filament shavings as where it feeds in is not plastic. It did not mess up any prints just needs to be cleaned more often.

There seemed to be conflicting info about the compatibility of this extruder with the CR-6 SE, but I took the chance and it fits perfectly. You can see in the pictures the filament runout sensor aligns perfectly with the gear and the rest of the extruder assembly, including the plastic guide that comes with the machine. The hardware that came with the kit is all you’ll need to swap the original plastic extruder with this all metal one.

A great upgrade over the stock extruder ... easy to install, feels more robust, and the feed hole actually lines up properly over the stock extruder ... the only downside is the Capricorn upgrade bowden lock fitting wont fit into this extruder, and youre stuck with the stock sized one (no issue, but just be aware).

Bought an Ender3 V2 a week ago, the stock plastic extruder arm broke within 5 prints. Bought this upgrade and the printer now works flawlessly, and am currently going on a 34hr print with no issues so far.

Good upgrade but the inlet port for the filament is slightly higher than the stock plastic version requiring a shim to align the runout sensor with it.

It didnt come with the right size of screw for my ender 3 pro.
