Review on 🔧 Enhanced Replacement Extruders: CHPOWER Extruder Upgrades for Optimal Performance by James Pope

First of all, the lack of instructions is annoying. I know the installation is easy and you can find it on YouTube. But there will be some who will need it and it will create a problem, particularly knowing which way the spring screw goes. Here the pictures show one thing and the YouTube video shows another. I followed one on video. This caused the spring tension to become so severe that it flattened my filament (PLA) causing problems to the point where the gears could not penetrate. So I turned the screw and screwed it in from the outside. That took some pressure. It still left bite marks from the gear on the threads but continued to push normally. After a week I noticed a clicking noise and it was driving me crazy. My CR10S is very quiet thanks to upgraded larger and quieter fans and mufflers on the motors. I checked everywhere until I found that the hole and thread where the bearing bolts in is badly worn. Thus, the bearing was barely fixed and made a clicking sound. I ended up reusing the bearing screw and surprisingly it has enough threads to hold the bearing. More recently I've been trying to use flex filament as the description on this product says it should allow me to use flex filament. Long story short, with no retraction adjustment etc, the flexible filament starts to clog where it enters the armature and jams the gears a few minutes after printing. I don't know how this is possible because it only moves in one direction and won't come out in the opposite direction as I don't have a retract setting. So in general. He's unlikely to go PLA if I leave him alone. Flexible, forget it. It's probably better to find and print out the channel update. Sure, aluminum looks great, but could it perform better? no I really wanted this to work, but it gave me more of a headache than the default program. And the only headache I got from it was having to pull the lever when I needed to change threads. fingers hurt.
