Review on πŸ”„ Enhanced Creality Extruder Drive: Upgraded for Efficient 1.75mm Filament Feeding by Carlos Barete

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good and cheap replacement but buy replacement couplers

Good, sturdy replacement for the extruder that came with my Ender 3 You'll be wary if you look at the original. Comes with all the screws you need in case you lose or tear one off the original extruder. Robust and everything it should be. My only issue is that the tube connector that came with this replacement was 1) not the same size as the original and 2) the connector threads did not match the die head itself. It was more annoying than anything, but it meant the part couldn't work with just the parts in the box. Replacement hoses often come with connectors, and this one uses the same type used to connect to the hot end. So I simply used the hot-end connector from my Capricorn hose update to replace the badly threaded one. Keep in mind that you may need/want to buy couplers to get this extruder head working, but they're cheap if you know you might need them. Chances are your printer kit comes with extras that you can use as spares anyway, so it doesn't matter.
