Extruder Drive Gears for ELEGOO Neptune 4 Series

$8

Description

The gears that pull filament into the hotend. Their teeth pack with plastic dust and round over, and abrasive carbon- or glass-filled filament wears them down fast. The symptoms are unmistakable: the extruder clicks, feeding skips, walls come out thin, and long solid stretches show clear under-extrusion. Cleaning the teeth buys you a print or two — a rounded tooth simply can't bite the filament anymore. Replace them as a pair; swapping one gear is pointless since both wear together.

Specifications

  • Hardened steel drive and idler gears as a matched pair
  • Some listings add the shaft and needle bearing — that's the 3x price spread
  • Handles abrasive carbon- and glass-filled filament
  • ELEGOO factory part, only ever sold through third-party stores

Compatibility: ELEGOO Neptune 4, Neptune 4 Pro, Neptune 4 Plus and Neptune 4 Max. The Centauri series has its own catalog entry — different gears, not interchangeable. Check what the listing actually ships before ordering: a single gear, or the full set with shaft and bearing.
