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.
