Creality Official Upgrade Kit, Capricorn PTFE Bowden Tubing and Metal Feeder Extruder for Ender 3 Series, Ender 5/5 Plus/Pro, CR-10 Series 3D Printer

New to 3D printing. Added the drive and tube while building my first printer do to watching tip videos. Due to this I cannot compare before and after. I can say that I have been very impressed with my print quality.

I have used an all metal extrude for my Ender 3 V2. I already knew I would have to replace the plastic one on my Ender 5 plus. This is the 2nd one I purchased for the Ender 5 plus and both have the same issue. The screw for the arm is too short and will not secure to the motor at all.

I dont know if I got a bad one or not. The original plastic one broke under pressure, which isnt a surprise. This is an all-metal replacement, but it never seems to go together perfectly, and I struggled with feed. Eventually I tired of the clamp twisting away from the gear causing feed failure. I would not recommend this one, and will highly recommend the Micro-Swiss direct drive for Ender.

Install was a breeze. Happy with the whole kit.

Fit and finish looked great on the aluminum parts. All the hardware was there to install the extruder. Only major problem was the idle roller was to be mounted with its own screw and the hole it mounts to had no threads! Everything went together great after i tapped the hole myself. Feels solid and holds the filament nice and snug so it feeds precisely. If you buy the creality extruder, check all the holes for threads and placement BEFORE you take your machine apart. The fittings were a good fit for capricorn bowden tubing. All said and done, i would feel comfortable making this work again if i had to, shouldnt have to “make it work” though.

Nice and easy to install. Dont wait for your cheap plastic one to break. Just get this one and dont worry about it. It works exactly likes is supposed to so just stop looking and buy it.

Still new to all of this 3D printing stuff, but recommendations all said to make these changes, so I got the kit before actually setting up my printer. The extruded was a little tricky, as the instructions aren’t real descriptive, but pay attention as you take off the plastic one, and everything will go just fine!

everyone needs this upgrade

Works perfectly.

Dont know if its any good as I received it missing a part. The tiny pieces looked to be just carelessly tossed in a shipping bag (see picture) with at least one missing.
