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 bought my son the Ender 3 for his birthday and unfortunately, it has had several issues due to the cheap parts that it came with - the stock feeder being the first problem we experienced 48 hours after using it. My son was cranking out prints, barely giving the printer time to rest, when it suddenly stopped feeding. I couldnt figure out why, read lots of articles and watched YouTube videos on how to troubleshoot, but none of the solutions applied. Finally, I figured Id just disassemble the feeder to see if I can see anything - and there it was! The bottom plastic piece was cracked, which wasnt allowing the pulley above to move freely. I ordered this component and its been a perfect solution. It was fairly easy to assemble - it probably took about 15 minutes, and as long as you pay attention to how you took off the old feeder, this feeder mounts in the exact same manner. However, there arent instructions, just an exploded diagram, which is only partially helpful as an installation reference. Since replacing, this component has worked flawlessly - wahoo! For the $12.86 it cost to purchase this part, it is absurd that Crealty doesnt include this as stock on their printers. For $12.86 with free shipping, Crealtys cost to make it has to be $2 or $3.

No problems, easy install

Product just as described. Fits perfect on cr-10s

It is as it says. install is not hard. does not really effect my print quality any, for good or ill.

Made the process noticably easier.

Great product and works as intended. Ive been using creality printer for a while and this is one of the best upgrades you can do over the plastic factory one that breaks.

This is NOT a Creality part (despite the Amazon description). Notice that there is no bowden fitting. Use at your own risk.

This is a good upgrade from the stock plastic.

Tube is great, Cutter cut well, The extruder works great, the only issue I had was the screw for the pivot was too short and I had to get a slightly longer screw. Good thing Home Depot had them! I think its a great upgrade to the Ender 5 Plus

The original arm failed only a month or so in. This new aluminum assembly fits right in its place, I didnt even bother to pull the old gear off the motor. Everything has been working great since, Ive printed PLA, PETG, TPU, and even hot-swapped a few rolls, nothing has phased this extruder.
