Fits all of the most common dual extruder printers – Flashforge Creator Pro, Powerspec Ultra, QiDi Tech, Malyan M180, Wanhao Duplicator 4s, CTC, etc. Please note, the QiDi and CTC stock extruders are NOT compatible, so you will not be able to mix your stock and Flexion extruder. Also for QiDi, the temperature sensor location is moved and will read 10-15° low, so turn your print temperatures down. This is a 3D printer extruder retrofit kit for dual-extruder direct-drive machines, such as the Flashforge Creator Pro, QiDi Tech, Powerspec Ultra, CTC Dual Extruder, and 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 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. The Flexion Extruder uses a high-stiffness lever to compress the filament. The compression is controlled with a cam and an adjust screw, rather than the traditional spring. This allows more tension and more precise control of the tension. This kit requires you to disassemble your printer’s extruder and reinstall this upgrade. Detailed instructions on this process can be found on the Diabase Engineering site.

doesn't fit the flashforger creator pro.
the holes machined for attaching the dual heads to the mount does not like up, off by .5mm. This kit will not work with the flashforge creator pro.

Ok for TPU but not so much for PLA
Works better on TPU but for the price I would just run through the stock print heads after seeing the results. I bought two dual setups for over $500 for the old Qidi tech 1 and was thinking it would be an amazing difference. It’s a slight ok improvement for TPU.I’m just not impressed at all on the PLA or ABS side. Based on their recommendations I can not get PLA to print with a 0.2 nozzle at minimum I have to use a 0.4 to get it to print properly. I’ve been printing over 4 years and can dial in all my other printers but not these unless it’s a 0.4 or bigger.

Very Happy
Very happy with the construction and how easy this unit is to use.

You'll be sorry
Bought this because I planned to print more flexible filaments in the future. There won't be a future if I can't ever get my printer to print properly. Stock extruders worked great, just figured I would replace them with "the best" after hundreds and hundreds of hours. Replaced them with these and the first few prints were fine (ABS). Now I can't get ABS or PLA to feed properly to save my life. Print will start fine and then quit feeding or just not feed at all. Fine tune, fine tune, babysit, fine tune some more, still end up with trash.Hunk of junk and waste of good money.

There might be a fitting issue with Makerbot Replicator 2X.
Product came with everything it said. Installation is relatively easy. I installed this on my Makerbot Replicator 2X. Although, I had to drill and rim out the screw holes for my printer, so the extruder mounting block could screw down. Now, in action, the extruders and hotends work good. I've been printing with them for about 20 hours now, and everything seems to be working fine.
