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 product works as intended for an Ender 3 V2. Easy enough to install (there are online videos to help if needed). Replaced the stock version that cracked at the Bowden tube connection. Great product.

Replaced original extruder. It had cracked and wheel fell off.

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

This is a good little metal replacement for the plastic one that comes with the printer. Its states that it is for an ender 3D. I put mine on a voxelab Aquila. It fit just fine. There are absolutely no directions on how to put it on so take a picture of the original one first.

This does seem to be an official Creality branded kit that Im sure will fit any of the advertised units. It matches up perfectly with my CR-10 v2. Im not convinced about the quick-release claw. First, there doesnt seem to be any replacements available and no extras are included. This will certainly wear out over time, and, functionally, it is still a push-pull insertion thing so I dont really see why it would be any better than the standard couplers. Also, since this isnt threaded, you cant even go back to the old ones. We certainly need some sort of improvement over the current PTFE tube couplers, but Im not sure this is it. A big one for me is the toothed gear. I bought some generic replacements and they only had one grub screw. This one has the proper two. That is almost reason enough to go with this kit over some other. Priced well, official Creality, recommended.

You get all the parts you need and the quality is top notch, but no directions :).. with the spring and screws there is some finickiness to getting it aligned and at the right tightness that you dont have to deal with in the out of the box extruder (on Ender 5 Plus) for me.. but once dialed in its a great upgrade...

Upgrading to a metal extruder is a must on these printers. Mine had a slight burr on the feed hole right before PTFE tube which caused the filament to get shredded as the extruder would retract and feed during printing. Didn’t affect print quality but it made a mess. If you see plastic shavings all over your printer after installing this make sure the filament path is perfectly smooth. A little sand paper fixed the problem for me.

Quick install, parts have the same specification as original but in metal. Definitely an upgrade.

NO

This was easy to install and is much sturdier than the original plastic extruder drive feeder. The included friction gear was not necessary because the stock motor’s gear is compatible. This item should not be confused with the dual gear extruder drive feeder.
