For the price, it's been one of the cheapest upgrades other than the ones I printed my self. Now if I can only find a bed that gets good consistant adhearence print after print. Also, switching this over to Direct extrusion will be easy and will be even better.

I have a generic CR10 clone that had a plastic extruder and I had issues with the hobbed gear causing under-extrusion. This extruder was a nice upgrade to get rid-off the plastic parts and fix my issue. This extruder provides good tension and makes it way easier to get the filament in, my under-extrusion issues are solved and it looks and feels solid. During this, carefully tighten the spring until the extruder gear catches the filament and starts extruding it.

With all that being said and done, the extruder tension adjustment on a Creality Ender 3 is a bit different from the method discussed above. This goes for the Ender 5 , Ender 3 V2, Ender 3, and the rest of the lot. However, for all those units manufactured before , the process is a bit different but still easy. To adjust the extruder tension on an Ender 3, you can 3D print spacers and simply insert them at the end of your tension spring.

They come in either 1mm or 2mm, so choose whatever suits you better. The image below illustrates how the spacers work. Again, trial and error is highly advised here, so you can insert as many spacers as you need to achieve optimal extruder tension. The following video by Tomb of 3D Printer Horrors explains the whole process, so check that out for a visual example.

Trial and error with test prints will help you calibrate your extruder just right. That, in turn, can cause divots to form on your material. One experienced Nylon filament user says that the popular Taulman Nylon filament requires extra tightness to work perfectly, so you should really take out the time to experiment with extruder tension and see what works the best for you.

As long as your prints are coming out okay, then your extruder tension is probably fine after that. Re-checking your extruder tension can be good for ensuring your printer is working optimally, to give the best details and quality in your models.

Pro Tip: Some filaments may require different levels of tightness to work optimally. For flexible filaments , I recommend loosening the extruder gear a bit more than usual for the best results. You can also replace your current extruder with a BMG extruder or a Titan extruder for easy extruder tension calibration. Rest assured, however, since the BMG extruder is lightweight and uses Dual-Drive technology for hassle-free filament feeding.

Customers currently using it say that its machined parts are exceedingly defined, way better than what they were using before. In addition, the teeth in the gears are sharper and less curved at the tips, so filament loading is nothing short of a breeze. People say that they were able to print fast with smooth, consistent extrusions without any grinding with the BMG extruder, which is a huge plus point. You can calibrate the extruder tension of BMG by using its built-in thumbscrew and spring mechanism without having to use any additional tools.

As we know by now, extruder tension is something you need to be calibrated right, but not every extruder out there can be as painlessly calibrated as the BMG extruder by using its easy-access thumbscrew.

People who bought it say that their prints look better than ever with the Titan Extruder.
