Review on 🖨️ Enhance Your Printing with the Upgraded Transparent Anycubic Printer Extruder by Jason Porter

tl;dr: Missing material has arrived. Installed it backwards on an Alex FW powered Aquila, along with improvised potato equipment, and it worked surprisingly well. The replacement came with all the hardware. Buy it. ------------ How can such a beautifully packaged box be missing important hardware that needs to be included and working?! I chose Right/Clear. My order arrived without the thumbscrew, tension spring and washer. The packaging was incredible. It looked neatly placed and well cared for in the clear, refillable case that came out of the box. The box became a handy extra place for printer hardware even before I realized how nice it was to have on hand. The extruder itself uses all metal gears and feels solid overall. I use Voxelab Aquilla n32; Alex firmware. I ended up installing it backwards so I could use it as a source for the missing components. To make it run backwards I had to reverse the stepper motor. The non-threaded metal side is currently my inlet while the pre-glued PTFE sleeve is attached to the nozzle. The extruder comes with (and perhaps surprisingly I actually got) 3 longer mounting screws - this extruder factory mounts the Aquilla mount either way with no gap issues. Installing it backwards just makes it look ugly. But with all these problems - a makeshift turnbuckle, not even knowing what the missing hardware was or what it was supposed to be, installing it upside down - I got it working. And it seems to be working fine. I calibrated the steps and the extrusion is smooth; Jet flow seems more predictable and accurate overall. I immediately noticed a difference in the print quality of the layers versus the smaller circles and towers where when using a standard extruder these shapes often suffered from bleed or bleed as the print head moved in and out of position (if adjusted correctly and will update )
