Flexible filament extruder retrofit kit for single-extruder direct-drive machines, such as Wanhao Duplicator i3. The Flexion extruder will allow full-speed printing of ultra-flexible filaments. 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. This kit requires you to disassemble your printer’s extruder and reinstall this upgrade. The Flexion Extruder is designed to fit as many models as possible – please see installation instructions for more details. Works With: i3 printers. Designed for 2x M3 mount at 31mm spacing (Wanhao Duplicator i3, Monoprice Maker Select) or a single M6 screw. See the Flexion support page for information on retrofitting to your printer.

Thoroughly Impressed
I had high expectations for this "go-to" extruder for flexible filament, and the Flexion delivers and exceeds my expectations. It took time to install, but by following an online tutorial, it was very straightforward and worked out of the box. I was able to start printing as soon as it was installed and have been using it nonstop with no issues since its arrival. If you print flexibles or want to start printing them more frequently and stop futzing with typical TPU-based jamming and extrusion problems, this is definitely the tool to get the job done!

100% improvement over standard head
Used on UK Balco HE180021, fit is easy , gap between head and fan looks a bit weird, but it works flawlessly.Only problem is you will then want to flash the firmware to get a nice color screen and then , and then.

Well worth the money
The best improvement I made to my 3d printer worth every penny it will run any filament and you don't have to worry about it feeding it cause it don't slip and I had it for about 6 months without a single problem
