Creality Original Metal Extruder Drive Feeder Upgrade for Ender 3 Pro / V2 / 5/5 Plus/Pro, CR-10 Series, CR-10S, CR 20/20 Pro 3D Printer Accessories Parts CR10 CR7 CR10S MK8 Kit

Works good last long time.

This does seem to be an official Creality branded kit that Im sure will fit any of the advertised units. It matches up perfectly with my CR-10 v2. Im not convinced about the quick-release claw. First, there doesnt seem to be any replacements available and no extras are included. This will certainly wear out over time, and, functionally, it is still a push-pull insertion thing so I dont really see why it would be any better than the standard couplers. Also, since this isnt threaded, you cant even go back to the old ones. We certainly need some sort of improvement over the current PTFE tube couplers, but Im not sure this is it. A big one for me is the toothed gear. I bought some generic replacements and they only had one grub screw. This one has the proper two. That is almost reason enough to go with this kit over some other. Priced well, official Creality, recommended.

Unlike the original part, your unable to unscrew filliment tube easily when a jam occurs. Filliment is now stuck. Will be going back to original part and returning.

HUGE improvement to my 3d prints. Why every 3d printer doesnt come with one of these is beyond me. If you have a plastic extruder, get this. Well worth the price and effort to change. Made a drastic difference in my prints. Highly recommend!

NO instructions. Figured it out based on my existing extruded. Was looking for the screw on metal part that goes on the side of the piece. Does NOT INCLUDE ONE. Has a plastic insert that replaces it. I bought this thinking it was all metal to replace the plastic piece yet I still have some plastic parts. Works ok. There is a cheaper one for a similar version on Amazon. I should have probably bought that instead.

I picked this up as my first upgrade to an Ender 3 v2. The Creality metal extruder drive was fairly easy to assemble reversing the steps that I used to remove the original plastic extruder and with the help of a similar youtube video as there are no instructions included in the package; a little surprising. The process of assemble still took less than ten minutes. After re leveling the bed it was time to test this all metal extruder out. Immediately, I was somewhat impressed with what it created using PLA, but for those of us that struggle with TPU filaments, this upgrade is a must! What a difference in printing ability when it comes to TPU. I think the all internal parts, with no need for the added coupler, helps in creating a direct route to the tubing with no gaps. Very impressed with the quality of the parts and the enhanced printing abilities that are now attainable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that still has the original plastic extruder. Eventually the plastic does degrade and will affect print quality, where the metal extruder will hold up for a much longer period of time while providing consistent great results.

Replaced original extruder. It had cracked and wheel fell off.
