Creality Upgraded MK-8 Metal Feeder Extruder Frame Aluminum Gray Bowden Extruder Drive for Creality Ender 3/3 Pro/3V2/5/5 Plus, CR-10 Series, CR -10S/20/20 Pro 3D Printer

I used the original spring from my printers extruder as the one in this kit is too stiff. Also, its a bit wonky how the spring is retained on two screw heads.

Its a lot stronger, but they did not de-burr the hole where the filament goes thru. I had to chamfer mine so it wouldnt hang up. It initially caused a blockage from it dragging and building up a chip. Witch resulted in about 4 failed prints at random intervals before I figured it out. They need a better qa department it feels everything creatality I own is eh but its cheap so I cant complain to much. You get what you pay foe

Great upgrade for my voxelab aquila. Most 3D printer come with a plastic extruder and the arm will often crack over time. This is a great upgrade!

Either I am a Complete moron or the screw for the spring support is stripped. I tried holding it in with pliers and it keeps pushing out. the other parts wen on easy. if can get help or something i will change my review

I ordered two of these about two weeks apart. The first one was complete and had the correct hardware. The second one is junk and the screws included with it are the wrong size. It is like they were made by two totally different manufacturers.

The extruder feeder is the assembly that pushes filament through the Bowden tube and into the extrusion nozzle. The Ender 3 comes with a plastic extruder feeder. This is perfectly functional for the first month or two of operation. Eventually, this plastic extruder feeder breaks. Before that happens, its a good idea to replace it with an aluminum extruder feeder. This is the official aluminum extruder feeder. It is easy to assemble and comes with instructions. It comes with everything you need to replace the plastic extruder feeder. For best results, however, I highly recommend watching a YouTube video on replacing an extruder feeder. It took me less than 15 minutes to walk through a YouTube demonstration and replace it myself. One thing I noticed fairly qucikly was that the new spring had a high amount of tension. Barring a nozzle clog, this should ensure that all filament gets extracted and retracted at the proper rate. I found that this extruder feeder was overall an excellent replacement. Im glad I spent the time to perform this upgrade.

This fit and worked amazingly. Had no issues with it functioning and working as it was supposed to.

This all aluminum extruder is awesome!! Gives you confidence when changing filament that the little handle wont just snap off. Only downside, inlet hole for filament may be unfinished, causing the filament to chafe. I did a quick print filament guide so it now enters horizontal with no issues. This is a good upgrade that will last for a while if only printing PLA+.

Capricorn tube is much better than the stock one, the filament feeding is much better. The extruder is also good quality better than the plastic stock one. Great product with good price
