Review on Enhanced Capricorn Extruder for Creality Printers by Chris Wheeler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable extruder feeding.

It was a bit tricky to install but with the right guide I managed. I've found that I hear a slight creaking noise when part of a print has to switch between feed and feed a lot. Most of the time this doesn't happen, but there are times when two steps are repeated very closely and it's quite noticeable. If the printer nozzle gets stuck, there is a good chance the feed gears are fraying the filament. If this is noticed, it's time to check the bowden cable and nozzle. Thanks to the double gear system, there is less slippage, which ensures better feeding of the extruder. I assume this could result in better print quality. It's a good idea to check the calibration of your extruder feed after installing this kit. I might also add that it comes with several spare nozzles and a pair of bowden tube feed clamps. It just never hurts to have a higher quality Bowden cable. Get more reliable printing with a new Bowden cable, improved filament feed, and replaceable tube clamps.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
