Identify this extruder

Can anyone tell me which extruder I have and tell me a good direct bolt in replacement? I do not like this extruder at all it seems like everytime I turn my back to it it stop extruding. The motor turns but no filament is pushed through and I have tried a couple of different rolls. It doesn't jam up just stops a little push on the filament and it takes right off. I need something a little more foolproof, thanks in advance for any help given.


It bolts to this piece of angle.

I've got the same one. It appears to be a knock-off of the "Replicator 2" extruder. Unfortunately, the mounting bracket and block are not compatible with anything. The aforementioned tingiverse part won't clear the bracket. Any MK8 hardware won't work with the existing hotend block since it is not threaded.

I'm planning on replacing the entire extruder with a MK8 or similar.

I am wating for a replacement hot end it should be here this week. It has a threaded barrel so hopefully that works out. Which extruder are you considering?

Probably just a generic MK8 clone from ebay.
