Review on Creality Original 3D Aluminum Extruder by Jeff Jemison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Reliable and Standard, Proven

Good Pros and Cons Time. A: Advantages, reliable, stable after adjustments, good hole accuracy, I believe it's made by Creality. (Not sure, OEM seems to be it) Cons It seems to have a different thermal conductivity than the stock Ender 3 hotend. Heats up slower and stays hot longer. I actually had to turn the heat down for some pla I used to run at 200. (Not that big of a problem at all, lol.) People here say the coating is wearing off, but so does the OEM unit, so it's not a problem. . This simply means that the heat capacity changes over the life of the block. They last about 6 months and then usually fail and die. There's no point in cleaning them, they're cheap enough to just take a pack with you. ^_^I recommend them if you still use stock hotends. What I do is for convenience only. You are reliable.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Socket Required
