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

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!

if youre having extruder issues try this before replacing the head i had prroblems with my cr10 smart and this fixed most of those problems deff worth a try printing way cleaner now. the stock setup isnt going to cut it you can tighten it but the way they have it setup the spring doesnt always backout when you loosen it i noticed so basically have to take it apart to l get the spring to backoff and its a pain to put together just make life easier and try this before doing anything else oh and get the upgraded bowen tube its blue cant recall the name tho sorry

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

The only thing I wish this product has was the wire retainer clip that the OE part has.

This came as a bonus for purchasing the printer. Was easy to put on, and works with no problems.

I got this because the stock plastic extruder feeder was giving me problems, only feeding properly about 50% of the time. This all metal one fixed all the problems I had

Super easy to install, straight up replacement for better quality. Just make sure to calculate e-steps again and youre good to go. Id recommend

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.

Works great for me, thank you,

I have been using the Capricorn Bowden tube on my Ender3 for months now. As soon as I got a new Ender5 Plus I ordered another. This set comes with a metal extruder and wheels for the printers action. Now Im set to print for a long time.
