Topic: CTC 3D Printer parts?

Anyone have a source for CTC 3D printer parts?

I may need to replace the right extruder drive gear unit.
(the unit that grips the filament and feeds the filament to the heated nozzle)

So far, no luck.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: CTC 3D Printer parts?

The CTC is one of several brands of makerbot clone.  Flashforge, MBot Tangibot to name a few.
these sellers do sell parts the problem I see is some only sell the whole dual extruder assembly for like $200

And a lot of parts deals on e-bay many ship out of china.

Hope this helps

The other option is to go to thingiverse and get the file and print one.  There are a couple files there for ctc extruder upgrade.

Re: CTC 3D Printer parts?

The CTC is a direct copy of the Flashforge made in America.

If you want reasonably priced parts, go here.

If you want parts directly from Flashforge go here.

Note Flashforge doubles cost.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
