Creality Original Metal Extruder Drive Feeder Upgrade for Ender 3 Pro / V2 / 5/5 Plus/Pro, CR-10 Series, CR-10S, CR 20/20 Pro 3D Printer Accessories Parts CR10 CR7 CR10S MK8 Kit

This is a decent upgrade to a stock extruder. THIS IS NOT A DUAL GEAR EXTRUDER. But I knew that when I got it. If youre still using the stock plastic extruder, it will break someday, so I would recommend having one of these for when that day happens.

Works as it should. Seems like nice quality. No instructions, but easy to figure out.

The best thing to happen to 3d printer since the printer, extruding is everything physically, but the plastic factory crap is worthless, if amateur or professional you need this 99% METAL ! BUT nozzle replacement gadget(weird)-its great, all my previous issues was the extruder cold end tool. Add this for a mere 14 bucks no more issues

I have the previous version of this on my Ender 3 (and I use it in a direct drive setup). I am very happy with it and get excellent results. The only issue that I have with it is that sometime the filament gets stuck when pushing it through PTFE tubing. It just takes a little finesse sometimes to push it through. I do not have issues when printing with TPU. This newer version seems to be a better design with small improvements, but it does NOT fix my original issue. I do, however, like the fact that it does not need the PTFE fitting. If you are currently using the previous version, unless you are specifically having issues with TPU, save your money and keep it. This one will not make a difference. If you are having issues with flexible filaments then give it a try. If you are using the original stock feeder, I would recommend upgrading to this inexpensive feeder. This kit comes with NO instructions, but after careful examination of the parts and the photo, it is fairly easy to assemble. I included photos in the order that I put my together to help guide someone that may have never done this before. The installation in the photos was done on a spare stepper motor to make taking photos easier. I recommend removing the E Stepper motor from your printer to assemble this.

Product was up-grade to similar model on youtube install videos. Upgraded coupling connection.

I was having so much trouble with the original piece but now the printer works perfectly! Easy to install and I like the red color!

Just received pieces/parts in plastic bag. No installation instructions whatsoever.

Extruder base does not have a threaded output for the fitting to the Bowden tube, I think I was supposed to put a supplied plastic plug into the non threaded hole and thread the fitting into it, that did not work for me. Put all the original parts back on and ordered the correct extruder. The printer is an Ender 3 V2 and it is in the list of compatible printers for this part.

Better than the plastic pieces... mostly. The filament feed holes dont exactly line up. When printing something where the filament needs to retract a lot, it squeaks LOUD!

This extruder works great. I bought it to replace the broken plastic one on my Voxelab Aquila and it fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend for any creality or creality clone.
