Highlights
Quality
Great solid feel of the lever, the stiff springs make a big difference in ease of bed leveling.
This metal extruder is very well made, fits exactly.
Three months into using my ender 3 v2, i was having bad extruder issues until one day i noted that the stock, plastic arm was cracked.
This one is all aluminum, bolted right into place, and all of my extruder-related issues were gone.
Price
With nothing to lose and a reasonable price, i ordered one for mine.
It made all the difference and i am glad that i didn’t drop $500-$700 for a new printer when this one works great!
I think the extruder drive should be all metal from the factory but it wasn't and at least this package was inexpensive.
It’s a good price for what you get, directions are ok, but had to check youtube for some details.
