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

This is another great creality product for the ender 3 work horse

This is not the extruder you are looking for, just get a dual gear one this one isnt made correctly.

Easy replacement for my stock one after a coupler snapped in half inside of the top of it.

Best upgrade you can put on an ender 3 series.

This seems to be an upgraded design from the Red Creality all metal extruder I purchased a year ago. This silver one arrived in Creality branded packaging, and contains an upgraded Bowden tube fitting. The improved fitting has a larger diameter thread size, and grips the Bowden tube much better. I did not notice any tube movement at the fitting during retractions. .

Much better quick than the O.E.M.

The print quality is good, although with the extruder upgrade, the tubing for the filament is constantly being sucked into the grub motor.

Dont do what I did and take off the stock extruder in a hurry. Pay attention to how the stock extruder comes off your Ender 3, then reverse the steps to install this one, with reference to the pics on the item listing, and youll be OK. I installed this out of the box and dont have a baseline between this and the stock extruder, but I can say Ive had no extruder or feed problems when combined with Capricorn tubing, and the parts (springs) seem to be good quality, even if the instruction sheet that comes with this is pretty much useless. Worst case scenario, YouTube a video on how to install one of these. I think CHEP did a good one.

Installed on Ender 3. Increased performance and quality of prints if combined with Capricorn tubing. Completely eliminated rippling, or ghosting, and stringing

Everything included as stated and is good quality. Installed smooth and seems to work great. Will know more after more prints. EDIT: Still going strong with no issues! Definitely recommend this must have upgrade for the Ender 3
