pay for what you get
fits okay, instructions are non existent really and the spring fitment is not clear., slightly different shape than original but works fine when its on......deffinately sturdier than the orginal tbf........ if i were in need of another, i would pay a bit more for a slightly better one...but for price cant go wrong, it got me out of a jam and fixed my printer.....untill my coil/extruder hotend..totally kackered anyway.. lol

Top upgrade
Added this to my Ender 3 pro after 2 of the standard arms broke. This fits a treat on Direct Drive from creality too.

Design needs improving
The design of this extruder takes a few liberties, which results in an un-reliable end product.The spring guide/retaining screws are a bit dodgy and they tend to loosen and fall out after some running. The pivot bush clamps the arm solid if done up fully so you don't get any tension on the filament, so that has to be left slightly loose and that then vibrates out after some running.

Son used it. Kept feed from sticking
son used it to prevent feed tangle and from jamming

Well made and long lasting
Easy to install unsurprisingly and a good replacement for manufacturer plastic bodied one - gear seems better quality too so should last a lot longer. Check against your existing gear diameter - if different you will have to modifye-steps

poor tolerances
Looks the part - but, the filament 'shaves' upon retraction against the hole in the tension arm! Would have only required a chamfer in that location. Also the insert that makes the hinge for the tension arm needs to be a tad longer or it binds when sufficiently tight to get the arm parallel with the base. Two small but significant bad points I feel. BUT its a ton better than the printed version!!

A must have for Ender 3 owners!
Absolutely outstanding product! Found that the original part on my Ender 3 had snapped (it was made of cheap plastic) so I ordered this yesterday, had the part delivered this morning! It took 5 minutes to assemble and I was printing again, and I'd say that the print quality is the best it's ever been! 100% buy this if you own an Ender 3 printer!

It is OK, but don't expect too much
Cheap replacement. The extruder arm bit wobble creating a weird noise on retraction. Otherwise no problem, nice grip on the filament.
