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

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 is a good upgrade from the stock plastic.

The aluminum extruder is more sturdy than the stock extruder, and is easier to load the filament which is a plus in my book. Ive just got done printing over 60hrs of material since purchasing and installing the extruder and the capricorn tubing and havent had a single problem. I also needed a few more of the bearing wheels, due to others wearing out, and they work like a charm also. Would definitely recommend this kit.

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

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

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

Good product and installed easily. Liked the combination of components.

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 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.

Works great for me, thank you,
