Review: This represents a real upgrade. - I purchased this to replace the broken plastic extruder on my CR-10 and was essentially just looking to have the machine back in action again. This arrived complete with a number of accessory parts including a much stronger bracket than that which was originally supplied. The pieces went together well and were an exact fit for the machine. I hadn't particularly purchased this as an upgrade but the supplied parts - especially the sharper 'cog' have really made the machine feel like new. This has given my prints a real quality boost which was unexpected and I'd certainly underestimated the difference that this would make. This is a really good kit at a very good price. Buy one. Review: Nice little upgrade for my Ender-3 - I thought whilst I needed to replace the bowden tube on my Ender-3, that I'd also upgrade the extruder to something more durable, especially since my wood PLA was starting to wear away a notch into the plastic extruder. This was fairly easy to install, and comes with replacement parts for the extruder and gear. The new extruder seem to be good quality and looks nice. My only tip for people looking to buy this is to not overtighten the screws when installing this, as it's very easy to strip the threads. ## Features - 【Application】:The upgrade metal extuder is compatible with Ender 3 V2,Ender 3 Pro,Ender 3 and CR10 Series 3D printer ect. - 【Direct Drive are Supported】:The all metal bowden extruder supports direct extrusion.A direct drive extruder improves extrusion and retraction by removing the need for the Bowden tube. - 【Recommend Filaments】：The aluminium alloy extruder feeder works great with PLA/ABS/Wood/Hips/Flexible/PTEG, with 40 teeth drive gear feeds the 1.75mm filament very smoothy. - 【Durable Feeder】: The upgrades metal bowden extruder is made of heavy-duty aluminum alloy,which is more stable and durable than plastic parts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DDGGN92 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 29,848 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 24 in 3D Printer Extruders | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,019) | | Date First Available | 29 May 2018 | | Item Weight | 60 g | | Manufacturer | Redrex | | Manufacturer reference | RDX3D030 | | Material | Aluminium, Metal, Plastic, Wood | | Package Dimensions | 10.1 x 6.1 x 1.9 cm; 60 g | | Part number | RDX3D030 | | Size | Bowden Extruder | | Style | Right Hand | ## Images ![Aluminium Bowden Extruder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VRkFliZTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I know wether to choose left or right for my ender 3?** A: Right Hand version is for Ender 3 **Q: What kind of ptfe coupler does this upgrade require?** A: My kit came with a coupler so no need to buy extras, standard bowden tube fitment for a 1.75 diameter filament **Q: Can this be used on the anycubic chiron? i presume i remove the extruder and attach this to the motor?** A: I’m not sure if it’ll fit to be honest, it fits an ended 3 no problems Yeah you remove the ild one and fit the new one **Q: Would this fit onto an anycubic I3 mega? and would it be the right hand?** A: I have these on a self build AM8 and custom build Large Dual Print AM8 (300 x 300 x 500) you can choose either left hand or right hand.

I had nothing but problems with the metal extruder. I tried everything to figure out what the under extrusion problems were until after a month or trying and failing I bought this extruder in a fit of desperation, hoping that this higher reviewed one was the solution. This extruder immediately fixed the problem. Easy to install, the instructions were handy to jog my memory on what goes where (though if this is your first time fitting an extruder I recommend a YouTube video) and after it was installed it fixed all my problems. I'm very happy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Redrex Ender 3 Upgraded Aluminum Bowden Extruder with 40 Teeth MK8 Drive Gear for Creality Ender 3 V2,Ender 3 Pro,CR-10 Series and other Reprap Prusa 3D Printers - UniTak3D Ender 3 Direct Drive Upgrade Conversion Bracket for Ender 3 V2,Ender 3 Pro and Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer for B-MG&Dual Gear&Bowden Extruder(NOT for Neo Series,Extruder&Hotend NOT Include) - eSUN PLA Filament 1.75mm, PLA Basic Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05mm, 1KG Spool (2.2 LBS) Speedy Filament for 3D Printers,Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/67126673-aluminium-bowden-extruder](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/67126673-aluminium-bowden-extruder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
