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

All parts were there, easy to assemble.

Better than the plastic ones that come on it. Put them on all three of my printers now.

5 stars so far. No issues, just had to recalibrate e-steps and I was good.

quick release claw breaks easily

I picked this up as my first upgrade to an Ender 3 v2. The Creality metal extruder drive was fairly easy to assemble reversing the steps that I used to remove the original plastic extruder and with the help of a similar youtube video as there are no instructions included in the package; a little surprising. The process of assemble still took less than ten minutes. After re leveling the bed it was time to test this all metal extruder out. Immediately, I was somewhat impressed with what it created using PLA, but for those of us that struggle with TPU filaments, this upgrade is a must! What a difference in printing ability when it comes to TPU. I think the all internal parts, with no need for the added coupler, helps in creating a direct route to the tubing with no gaps. Very impressed with the quality of the parts and the enhanced printing abilities that are now attainable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that still has the original plastic extruder. Eventually the plastic does degrade and will affect print quality, where the metal extruder will hold up for a much longer period of time while providing consistent great results.

Did not come with instructions

I ordered this to replace a broken plastic one on my Ender 3 v2, major improvement. Required a little work to get the spring in place (very tight fit), but it works great.

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.

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

Does not sit correctly on the extruder-motor plate, thus, filament does not line up correctly when coming up through bottom of extruder, to the little hole that leads to the Bowden tube. No way to see in to guide it correctly. No instructions came with it Not sure which it DOES fit, but definitely not Ender 5 plus
