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

Bought the endear 3 v2 and installed during the assembly of the printer. May not need it because the v2 was updated with a copper insert in the injector tip but it’s always better to have metal parts over plastic parts for longevity. Watch YouTube videos; It makes it all so easy! By the way, I’m just a mom who’s son got the ender 3 v2 from grandma and grandpa for Christmas. I found putting it together rather easy and leveling for basic home use is easy.

Easy to install, easier to maintain vs the stock CR6 extruder. Just make sure to calibrate your esteps and flow rate once installed.

Have not bought this, but this is not a genuine Creality part. It is a clone. Hence why the screws are off. Get a genuine part sold BY CREALITY.

I would categorize this as an essential upgrade for the stock Ender 3. I have had no problems printing with flexible TPU filament now. I am very happy with the quality of this product. Tubing is official Capricorn brand and comes with enough length for two printers or to replace when needed.

This extruder was a breeze to install on my ender 5 plus, took about 15 minutes from start to finish. This thing is a night and day difference in quality compared to the cheap plastic stock one that come with the 5 plus, do yourself a favor and do this upgrade you won’t regret it

It’s a good value for the money but the spring is so damn strong that it’s causing my prints to skip. I’ve been trying to compress it but to now avail. I’ll have to cut it down. This was the only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star cause the quality is great otherwise.

My main issue with this kit is that the included Capricorn tubing is totally asymmetrical. The hole is not in the center of the tube. This causes the filament to hit the inner edge of the nozzle rather than sliding to through cleanly, leading to significant under-extrusion. Be very careful to check the tube dimensions when you cut and install the tubing. I unfortunately didnt notice this initially, and needlessly replaced my nozzle thinking that it had a mystery clog that was restricting flow. Nope! Just bad tubing from this kit.

Installed this on my Creality Ender 3 v2 3D printer. Specifically the Bowden tube, aluminum extruder feed and the springs. Now, for these springs on an Ender 3 v2, you may need to cut off a good portion off of it otherwise youll run the risk of not having your bed level.

This took me three hours to figure out when it should’ve taken 15 minutes. The instructions are an absolute dumpster fire. The extruder motor is at the wrong angle in the picture. The entire illustration is backwards, so good luck trying to assemble this thing with a flipped mirror image. There’s also an M4 size screw that’s somehow supposed to fit in an M3 rivet nut? Don’t know how that’s physically possible. The extruder gear is upside down in the instruction picture which caused an extra hour and a half of trying to take it BACK OFF again, after already spending over an hour trying to remove the pre-existing extruder gear. With how non-descriptive the instructions are, they might as well not even include any at all. Oh, and the screws weren’t even threaded properly. They completely binded up only halfway down into the hole and took me almost snapping the hex keys just to break past whatever was going on so I could finish screwing all the screws in place. The recessed hole for the countersunk screw in the corner (the flat one) wasn’t big enough so the arm won’t clear that, so you’ll have to force the screw in deeper. Just look up a video on how to install it and it’ll save you the beyond-headache it gave me. Actually you know what? Just buy a different kit. Save yourself the migraine.

Everything that came with the kid worked good and came together easily. My problem is with the springs that they sent. Its advertised as being compatible with the ender 3 V2 but the springs are way too big. Even after bottoming out, it still was far to high for me to properly level the bed.
