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

These parts help make the ender 3 v2 so much better but the 3d printer should have included these parts to begin with. The original parts were cheap plastic doomed to fail parts and is only a matter of time before youre searching the web on why your printer isnt working right and buying upgrades and watching endless how to videos on making the ender 3 v2 work the way it should have to begin with. These parts are unfortunately must have upgrades.

My prints were starting to get stringy and not sticking to the build plate so I decided to do a total upgrade. After printing over 100 hours on the factory nozzle and extruder, I decided to get this upgrade kit, and I was glad I did! Even though I had to cut the build plate springs shorter, this upgrade kit just make my Ender 3 feel more durable. The upgrades are easy to install and tools needed are already included in the Ender 3. With this upgrade kit, and a fresh nozzle, I am getting great and expected print... now if only I could get Octoprint set up.

After the plastic one that came with the printer broke, I got these, and it works great. But honestly these should have came standard with the printer, given how often the plastic ones break.

Awesome for OEM replacement. Also printed TPU first try with a 3 hour print with zero issues. Installed on a stock ender 3 with 1.1.5 board installed. Did not expect to print TPU with this but it surprisingly works great

This upgrade is a great bargain. Well worth doing because it greatly reduces underextrusion problems and now I even print with ninjaflex TPU 85a flexible filament with no problems.

the springs do not work on the ender 3 v2 the bed will not go low enough to level with them installed main reason for getting this kit and its not compatible

Im not sure if I just got a defective length of tube, or if it wasnt genuine capricorn, but none of the filaments I have will fit smoothly through it, and I have been unable to print anything at all with this tube on my machine. I thought I was having nozzle clogs at first, but after searching high and low for the source of my jams, I tried taking just a ~10 length of the tube and pushing my pla through it by hand, and it jammed before it got to the end, same with another brand of pla, same with pteg. That being said, the metal extruder and stiffer springs have both been welcome upgrades, and easy to install.

Easy to install and definitely an upgrade over the factory springs and bowden tube.

The product works great and is good quality. The instructions aren’t very helpful so look up a how to video.

The plastic one that came with my ender 3v2 developed a crack and was causing under extrusion issues. I highly recommend this upgrade to prevent any issues.
