- Will these fit my extruder?
- They fit direct extruders that take a 5 mm shaft and MK7-style gear, common on RepRap designs. Check your extruder's shaft diameter and gear type before buying.
- Do they work with 1.75 mm filament?
- Yes. The teeth are cut for 1.75 mm filament, which is the standard for most desktop printers.
- Are they a upgrade over the stock gear?
- No. They are a like-for-like replacement, not a precision or dual-drive upgrade. Buy them as spares, not as a performance part.
- What is included in the pack?
- Five drive gears only. No set screws, grub screws or tools are included, so reuse the hardware from your old gear.
- Do I need to modify them before fitting?
- Usually not, but check each gear for burrs or a rough bore. A quick clean with a file or drill bit helps if the fit is tight.
