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

Came with many good parts for upgrading my 3d printer, wish the instructions were better for each part but all in all it’s pretty easy to install

First.. the costumer service rep iris from wolias is awesome. Totally understood my issue with the photos it was a cinch to resolve the matter. The metal extruder kit/bundle works wonderfully with a few sharp edges. One or two brands of fillament shave at entrance of fillament hole. Besides that works like a charm. Thank you.

Just got my 3D printer back up and running after a plastic extruder crack. This is a great upgrade over the plastic extruder housing.

This kit came with a M3*18 head cap that was poorly milled, it ruined the threads on my motor and now I will have to buy another motor due to this.

This metal extruder made for a nice upgrade on my Ender 3 Pro. The plastic factory extruder cracked and this kit includes a much higher quality metal extruder. Instructions are included, but there may be a tiny bit of variation depending on your printer. My packaging was missing the screws that hold the filament tension spring in place. With the old plastic extruder in hand I was able to salvage some pieces to make everything fit. The Capricorn bowden tubing included in the packaging works great so far too. Im familiar with using Capricorn tubing and this seems legitimate and has held up throughout a week of constant printing. There should be enough Capricorn tubing for 2 uses, but it varies depending on your setup. The only thing included I did not use were the bed springs. I already have silicone bed mount spacers that work well and didnt want to mess with the great results they were providing. For the $15 price, there is a lot of value here! The metal extruder is quite the upgrade and is much easier to load filament.

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.

Works well. Couldn’t get some of the parts on, but I didn’t need too. Overall I would buy it again

My stock plastic extruder feeder had crackeddand was causing the filament to constantly slip and underextrude. I purchased this thinking it would fix all my problems. It did not. This pinches the filament too hard and there is zero adjustment to change how hard it grips. Now my failment gets bound up because of too much bend.

The Capricorn Bowden tubing is too narrow it barely lets filament through, I tried 3 different filaments and at some point it got jammed due to the narrow Bowden tube. I measured each filament at the points it jammed and found them to be at acceptable tolerance diameter. I also looked at the nozzle and hot end for clogs which there weren’t any. I even disconnected the Bowden tube from the hot end and just tried to hand feed filament through and that was very hard at times because of the friction. If you buy this just be prepared to buy another Bowden tube

Much better quick than the O.E.M.
