Key Features:
- Designed ONLY for the Makerbot Replicator 2x
- Flexible filament extruder retrofit kit for both left and right sides of a dual-extruder printer
- Print fast with flexible materials, higher resolution, and fewer failures
- Uses a high-stiffness lever to compress the filament for more tension and more precise control of the tension
- Kit requires extruder disassembly to install upgrade
3D printer extruder retrofit kit for dual-extruder direct drive machines with deeper cooling blocks and wider mounting holes, such as the Makerbot Replicator 2x. The Flexion extruder will allow full-speed printing of flexible filaments and improved accuracy printing with PLA and ABS. 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 well with flexible PLA, TPU, TPE ultra-flexible filament down to 50 Shore A, and all the standard rigid filaments like ABS and PLA.
