Creality Upgrade Ender 3 Extruder, Ender 3 V2 Upgrades Metal Extruder Aluminum MK8 Bowden Extruder 40 Teeth Drive Gear for Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 Pro/Ender 5 Plus/CR-10 Series 3D Printer

If you run a Creality printer with a plastic extruder arm you need to replace it with metal asap. This one’s made by Creality so you works amazing. I’ve tried another brand and it didn’t work so went with this one and worked amazing!

Product arrived as described. Should have got a dual gear extruder instead. This is not markedly better than the stock plastic fixture. The capricorn tubing was more narrow than the stock ptfe, and the force of the extruder gearing warped the filiment out of spec, causing clogs in the tube. Ended up returning to the white ptfe tubbing untill I pick up a better extruder. The bed springs are great.

There are many upgrades you can do to your Ender printer but this is one of the best. The arm and frame is metal and the spring is stiffer so it will push your filament through the hotend with a lot more force than the original one. Eliminated the dreaded clunk sound caused by a worn extruder gear and cracked plastic lever arm.

Cant comment on the quality of the extruder or the capricorn tubing, or the springs either, but the pc4-m10, and m6 fittings that came with it seem of good quality. Ordered it purely for the same day shipping to get my printer running again.

Its made out of metal.

These springs are a huge upgrade to the base printer. Combined with the Fokoos glass bed (yes, it fits the ender printer too), it creates a very stable printing platform.

Easy install and much smoother than the plastic extruder that came with the printer.

As I said in the headline. Perfect drop in replacement for my plastic extruder on my Ender 5 plus, and no more extruder clicking.

This kid should be mandatory after buying an Ender 3 V2, you will need to replace all of these items sooner than later anyway.

Very frustrating. Stay away until they fix the screw length issue!
