It works
I needed a different extruder when I didn't some modifications and this worked perfectly.

Good
Decent upgrade for my ender

Nice, but no wear washer and much taller than original extruder
I'm not sure if I'll have the problem that other dual-extruders have where the gear grinds into the aluminum. It comes with a washer, but there's no space to fit it. The gear *is* beveled, so hopefully that will protect/reduce wear, but only time will tell.The other point to note is that this is about 10mm taller than the stock extruder mechanism. This means that you cannot add a regular top Z-axis lead screw mount without losing some maximum print height. I ended up printing my own top mount that attaches to the top of the 2020 cross-bar, to get that extra height back. Also note that the filament inlet is also higher on this than the stock one, so if you have a filament guide, it will probably be too low with this.All in all it's a nice unit, apart from the (possible) gear wear, it looks to last a long time and work very well. Note: as others mentioned, when you install this, you'll need to increase the steps/mm on your Ender control panel settings!

My only complaint is that it doesn't let me attach the extruder knob
otherwise it is orders of magnitude better than the stock parts

Updated review after two weeks of use.
When I first installed this extruder on my CR6-SE, it appeared to be a good upgrade. But trying to tune the printer with literally no data, has proven this extruder lacks any information on how to set pressure advance for any slicer on the market. This thing either under extrudes or over extrudes and there is not one shred of information anywhere on how to adjust either CURA or SuperSlicer, both highly used tools in the 3D printing world. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement and it shows the company who makes it, may never have setup the unit to actually print, but rather to see if it would simply fit.Save your money and buy a brand name extruder rather than a piece of Chinese garbage.
