Review on πŸ”„ Enhanced Official Creality 3D Extruder Feeder Drive MK-8 Aluminum for Optimal Additive Manufacturing by Kevin Woods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Opponents in previous reviews were wrong.

Arrived on time, all parts (several extra screws were included) were in the bag and all that was missing was detailed assembly instructions. That being said, there are LOTS of how-to videos on how to install this update on the Creality Ender 3 printer. I'm almost a total newbie to 3D printing, so I watched a few (none was better than the other). encountered). ) and after looking at the details I decided there were no real gotchas, other than maybe making sure you didn't overtighten any of the screws when installing. Use the new screws provided as they match the aluminum base and are the correct length. Make sure the new screws are the same length and head type as the ones you are removing. Is this mod really necessary? I didn't think of it initially but decided to do it anyway after watching tutorial videos online. I've only had this Ender 3 for a little over 3 weeks and when I removed the plastic parts that went into the printer's extruder feed I saw that the hole was already starting to wear out and it wouldn't take too long for it to start. causes disturbances in the feed! If you don't make any other modifications to your Ender 3 (maybe other Creality printers like the CR-10 etc.) then do this. You won't regret it in the long run!

Pros
  • Very easy to assemble
Cons
  • Crumpled
