$149.00
3D printer extruder retrofit kit for dual-extruder direct-drive machines, such as the Flashforge Creator Pro, QiDi Tech, Powerspec Ultra, CTC Dual Extruder, and Makerbot Replicator 2X. The Flexion extruder will allow full-speed printing of flexible filaments and improved accuracy printing with PLA and ABS. The precision machined components allow your printer to push on filament harder, achieve high pressure in the nozzle, and control of feed rates very closely. The self-cleaning drive will keep your long prints from failing due to a clogged drive. Works will with Ninjaflex, Filaflex, flexible PLA, TPU, TPE ultra-flexible filament down to 50 Shore A, and all the standard rigid filaments like ABS and PLA.
The Flexion Extruder uses a high-stiffness lever to compress the filament. The compression is controlled with a cam and an adjust screw, rather than the traditional spring. This allows more tension and more precise control of the tension. To learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of this system, please read our blog post about it.
This kit requires you to disassemble your printer’s extruder and reinstall this upgrade.

3D printer extruder retrofit kit for E3D v6 hotend (1.75mm). This allows the use of the Flexion Extruder with the excellent E3D hotends – enabling precision extrusion of virtually every available filament from Nylon to ultra-flexible Shore 50A. This uses the same mounting hole pattern as the E3D extruder, and also has a couple mounting holes in the front (see drawing). It includes a PTFE tube cut to length for the E3D v6 hotends. So you’ll have all the same advantages of precision, supported, reliable filament driving with the flexibility to print at much higher temperatures. This kit is appropriate for RepRap and Lulzbot printers by following instructions here.
Includes:
- Flexion extruder
- E3D mounting block
- Precision cut PTFE guide tube (plus a spare), and alignment collar.
- Clamp plate and mounting screws
- Spare brush
- Spare nozzles: 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5mm orifice

High-temperature 3D printer extruder upgrade or retrofit kit for common 3D printers. This upgrade allows printing of materials at up to 290°C. The barrel is designed in collaboration with Micro Swiss. The finned mounting block has several advantages:
- Better thermal performance
- Visibility of extruder (you can remove your stock heatsink – but continue to use the fan)
- Easy removal of the hotend without disassembling the motor and extruder (tool access between fan blades)
This kit requires you to disassemble your printer’s extruder and reinstall this upgrade. Instructions will be posted soon.
Note: the HT mounting block does NOT include an M6 mounting hole, necessary for HICTOP and some other eBay kit printers.
