Review on Zeelo Extruder Aluminum Upgrade Anycubic by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not at all for Anycubic Mega-S or Creality printers

Well they say this is an extruder replacement and upgrade for Anycubic I3 Mega-S. It is not! With the Mega-S, the extruder gears initially rotate backwards. So I decided to install it on one of my Ender-3 Pro, didn't help at all. In fact, my prints have deteriorated. Then, with no direction, I had to take a longer screw and then cut off part of it to allow the arm-mounted spring guide to attach to the arm. The gear ratio for this extruder should be too high/too fast for Anycubic. It sounds and slips like the nozzle is stuck. I also changed my hotend so I had to check that as well. To test my new hotend, I had to use the Clear Thread function. Did that and that's when I saw the gliding thread. It didn't work with my Creality Ender, so it's safe to assume it doesn't work with CR10 printers either. With Creality printers, I found that the gear ratio was "too slow" for Creality printers. I got print layers that didn't stick. The bottom layers were great, but as the pressure progressed to the top, the layers wouldn't stick and there were gaps. I removed this extruder and installed the previous one and there were no more printing problems. So I did my best, installed this and tested it with two of the most popular mid-range printers, and this item either didn't work as advertised or printed insanely worse. Oh yeah, it just didn't work.

Pros
  • 3D printer accessories
Cons
  • I don't remember
