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

Exactly the extruder upgrade your looking for. Very reliable

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

Made the process noticably easier.

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 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

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

I bought this as a promotional add on when I purchased my Ender 5+, not really knowing much about the printer or parts upgrades. Im glad I did- during the swap assembly I discovered the factory extrusion clip had a hairline crack where they inserted the brass thread nut. They should make the aluminum standard, at least on the Plus models. The downside is theres not much in the way of instructions, you have to check the old part and figure out the best order for disassembly and reverse engineer it using the parts diagram.

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.

Shipped quickly. I have the ender 3v2 but have to say this extruder Im much more happy with. It matches the machine and it is SO much easier to load the filament into. The rest of the parts I will eventually need.

Its exactly what I was expecting and a great upgrade from the original made out of plastic.
