Creality Upgrade Ender 3 Extruder, Ender 3 V2 Upgrades Metal Extruder Aluminum MK8 Bowden Extruder 40 Teeth Drive Gear for Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 Pro/Ender 5 Plus/CR-10 Series 3D Printer

Well designed and built with good quality. Good value!

Would have gave 5 stars but u have to cut a little bit off the spring or u will have binding issues. Not a big deal but does require modification. Over all quality very nice.

Ive seen pictures of extruder handles with grooves worn into them but my biggest fear was breaking the handle on the Extruder feed which would have caused several days of downtime. I ordered the inexpensive metal upgrade kit and installed it quickly and easily. It is just a metal version of what is already on my Ender 5. I am sure this one wont break!

This kit feels noticeably more solid than the stock extruder. It comes with a beefier Bowden connector too. Fit and finish of the parts is first rate and it took me less than 5 minutes install. Highly recommended.

This is a nice kit and one that I purchased as a novice to 3D printing. The one item that is missing is the Bowden tube cutter. You can get by without it, but you will eventually get one separately down the road. Also the extruder is nice, but as you get into this, you will gravitate to one of the dual gear types. I used the bed springs and the PTFE tubing and the tube couplers. Consider this your starting point down the rabbit hole of 3D printing.

Wasn’t a certified Capricorn tube.

This is a great upgrade kit full of things creality should have installed from factory. I would even be happy paying the extra 20 some dollars for this to be included. The only real difficulties came with extruder assembly because its a little fiddly.

I finally figured out I needed to adjust the extruder steps as it was under extruding

Fit my Tronxy x5SA

The Creality Upgrade Ender 3 Extruder is an excellent upgrade for those who want to take their 3D printing experience to the next level.
