Creality K1 / Ender 3 V3 dual-gear extruder
This is the original dual-gear direct extruder from Creality's K1 series, the same one fitted to the Ender 3 V3 and V3 Plus. It comes without a motor, so you reuse your printer's, and Creality says it works with the firmware you already have. It's the replacement for when the gears slip, knock or chew the filament and cleaning no longer helps, usually because the teeth have worn.
- Dual-gear extruder without motor: it mounts on the motor you already have.
- For the Creality K1, K1 Max and K1C (the K1C 2025 too, according to Creality) and for the Ender 3 V3 and V3 Plus.
- Creality says no firmware change is needed when you swap it.
- Before swapping it, clean the gears and look at the nozzle: a partial clog also makes the extruder knock.
- It helps when filament comes out chewed or the extruder skips steps even with a clean nozzle.
