Preparation

Verify that your extruder gear is removable. (held on by set screws). If your gear is pressed on, the motor will need to be replaced. We recommend the Creality 42-40 stepper motor.

If you have a filament runout sensor or any other custom components, verify the fitment of the new extruder. Some printers will need to have the filament runout sensors moved to a 3D printed bracket.

Remove the filament spool from the printer and allow the printer to cool down.

Step 1 - Safety

Alert

For your safety, turn off and unplug the printer.

Make sure the hotend is at room temperature before working on the printer.
