Our Tough Extruder is a geared, dual drive deal, and guided extruder to ensure that your filament feeds accurately and smoothly. This is NOT a “BMG clone” like you will see on Amazon or other sites. This is a hybrid that takes design queues from the Titan and the BMG extruder designs to make a whole new design that is reliable and easy to use.
Also included is a copy (of your choice) of our Unified 2 Firmware for easy updating of your printer board.
This extruder is also great for most TPE/TPU filaments thanks to its tight filament path that doesn’t leave large gaps for the flexible filament to escape. It is our go-to for a solid extruder upgrade for our printers. This now fits on most Creality printers and other printers with NO adapters needed thanks to the cutout in the body to accommodate most leadscrews.
Not only are we using DUAL drive gears with a 3:1 gearing ratio that is capable of up to over 30lbs of pulling force, but the gears are also nitrogen treated for long life and low maintenance. The Tough Gears in this new extruder will ensure that they last for years, and filament build up will be less than other non-treated drive gears.
Firmware update or flipping motor wiring around are usually required to reverse motor direction. Geared extruders typically require the motor direction to be reversed on machines that have feed gears that mount directly to the stepper motor shaft.
Recommend Esteps: 407 Steps/mm for most machines
EStep Changes and motor direction changes are all supported in the TH3D Unified Firmware.
EStep Calibration – If you wish to further fine-tune and calibrate the extruder once installed on your printer you can use our free EStep Calibration Tool on our site.
Other Details
Works with most Stock Stepper Motor and stock boards.
Some Creality machines are now shipping with press-fit extruder gears. See here for removal tips: Creality Press-Fit Extruder Gear Removal – TH3D Studio LLC
If your extruder shaft is not at least 18mm in length then you will need to upgrade it. Our Pancake Stepper is a great option to go with this extruder. See our article here about identifying the motor you have: Creality Extruder Motor Shaft Lengths – TH3D Studio LLC
This is for 1.75mm Filament ONLY

ESteps would be 407 for most boards. Speed is too general to give you advice on as there are many speed settings in a slicer to account for. If you need further assistance please send us a ticket.

Great extruder !
Great extruder upgrade. Nice to know that I will have much more consistent extruding.
Added this to my Sunlu S8 and have no regrets. It made a huge difference when printing with TPU.
Got this along with the multi mount and tough hot end and works great. Much better than the stock crap on the ender printers. I have this same setup on another printer as well.
This extruder is great. I’m using it in a Hero Me Gen 6 direct drive setup on my Ender 3 with the pancake stepper motor also sold by TH3D. I took my time to get the gear aligned per the instructions and it’s been solid from day one. Worth every penny.
Performs great, easy to install, great support.
The Tough Extruder V2 is a solid (e.g. dense) piece of precision made kit. Mine arrived yesterday (very fast shipping), and I added it to my Ender 5 Pro (EZboard v1.2, Tough Hotend V2, and multi mount 2×5015). The fit and finish are a cut above the rest. After a small bit of tuning my test prints look fantastic. I might actually be done upgrading this printer…..nah…..probably not.
delivered quickly, installed was easy on the Ender 5, changed E-Steps, calibrated flow and started printing.
