Redrex Metal Bowden Extruder Upgrade Spring Adjustable Feeder with Bowden Tube and Springs for Creality Ender 3 V2 Ender 3 Pro Ender 5 CR10 3D Printers(Right Hand Version)

I put in the sprint and metal drive motor upgrades immediately and it was like having a new machine.I put in the black bowden tube once I'd run out of stock white and it offered too much friction for the filament. I tried chopping it to 17" but that didn't improve things much. I ended up buying another white tube, cut to 18" and immediately my machine started working properly again. Maybe you'll have good results on a direct drive.Even with the black tube in the bin, I think this is a solid upgrade and good value.

Resolved my Filament feed issue!Added with stiffer bed spring, it improved the quality of my print which i never thought a simple stiffer bed spring upgrade will do.

I am very new to 3D printing but I have been "educating" myself for a few months thanks to videos and other experienced makers.I would say that given the price and the actual performance improvement, this is the first upgrade kit that you should buy... simply because your plastic stock extruder will fail. It is only a matter of time.In fact, my week old Ender 3 V2 developed an extrusion issue caused by the stock plastic extruder. Installing this kit (and recalibrating the estep ratio) solved the problem.The extruder installation will take anywhere between 5 to 45 minutes, depending on how experienced you are.Any of the bits included in this kit are very simple to install, but if it is the first time you are trying, do yourself a favour and watch a couple of videos about it.This kit does not come with instructions and there are a couple of details that wouldn't be obvious.

I bought this after the stock extruder arm broke on my Ender 3 v2 and decided to fit an upgraded aluminium one instead of the stock plastic ones from Creality. it was easy to install and so far it is working exceptionally well after many hours of printing. At the price I paid it really is a bargain, identical products are on offer for more money, this is a bargain and does exactly as it should.

I combined this with the redrex direct drive plate kit, took about 30 mins to install (watching a youtube video), it's a bit fiddly as you have to install the bolts through spacers into the extruder, but fits together nicely. Seem to be getting better results with abs printing at 235c nozzle and 110 bed, way better build quality than the plastic extruder and so much easier to thread filament in, the boden connector included is much better than the stock one as well.Havent really noticed much difference with the bed levelling springs although they are more accurate than stock by a small margin but a nice inclusion considering this kit is still cheaper than most others.If you want to get into modding an ender 3, ender 3 pro etc then start with this and a direct drive kit.

this is a good pgrade for the standard plastic components that come with the printer. Its pretty easy to install and the Red does bring a of a colour to the machine.The high tension springs for the bed leveling makes life so much easier then the standard ones. The only gripe I have is the teeth on the replacement wheel that attachs the stepper motor are the best and maybe its just me but mine have worn pretty quickly. But the price of the upgrade its worth getting it.

After 2 months my ender 3 pro stock extruder cracked (took me ages to figure out this was the cause of my printing issue).No point in replacing with another stock plastic one (seems to be a common flaw), so went for this. Fairly easy to install (although I had to install the brass feeder upside down to fit) but instantly flawless feeding. Just printed all the parts for an iron man helmet without any issue.Would advise any ender 3 owner to upgrade this part ASAP!!

No issues - installs fine, extruder is drop-in replacement for existing ender3v2 (almost exactly the same but missing bit to attach cable), springs are solid and should hopefully maintain the levelling for for longer.I think its a little pricey compared to others offerings, but that was more my fault for not checking; e.g. this is not dual-gear drive but priced as if it were.
