Creality CFS Hub Kit

A multi-colour print that suddenly jams mid-swap, or filament that tangles inside the unit every few spool changes, often traces back to something far less obvious than the filament itself. The CFS sits on a base that has to stay perfectly still while four spools feed, retract and swap in sequence, and once that base has a hairline crack or has worked loose, every colour change becomes a small gamble.

This is the genuine Creality hub kit for the CFS multi-colour filament system, the five-way base plate that keeps the unit stable and keeps all four filament paths routing cleanly into the single line that feeds your printer.

Who the Creality CFS Hub Kit is built for

Owners troubleshooting jams and misfeeds

If loading or swapping filament in the CFS has started feeling less precise, catching, tangling, or needing a second attempt, a worn or cracked hub kit is worth checking before you assume the fault is with a spool or the printer itself. Replacing the base plate restores the stable footing the unit needs to route filament cleanly.

Multi-colour print farm operators

Running a K2 Plus, K2 Pro or Ender-3 Max Hi Combo through back-to-back multi-colour jobs puts the CFS through thousands of automated colour swaps. Keeping a spare hub kit on hand means a cracked or worn base does not take an entire colour-capable printer out of the schedule while you wait on a replacement.

Owners rebuilding a damaged CFS unit

A CFS dropped or knocked during a move, or one that arrived with shipping damage, often has the hub kit as the first casualty, since it takes the unit's full weight. Paired with a connector kit for the tubing, this lets you rebuild a damaged unit from genuine parts rather than replacing the whole CFS.

What sets the Creality CFS hub kit apart

A five-way base, not just a footplate

The hub kit is built around a five-way layout, guiding the four individual filament paths from the CFS's spool bays as they converge into the single line running to the printer. Getting that routing geometry right is what keeps filament from tangling or catching as the system switches between colours mid-print.

Keeps the whole unit still when it matters most

Filament loading, unloading and colour switching all rely on the CFS staying completely stationary. A stable base plate stops the small vibrations and shifts that, over time, turn into misalignment between the spool bays and the feed path, which is what shows up as jams or failed swaps. That matters more here than on a single-material printer, since the CFS repeats the same loading and retraction motion every time a print calls for a different colour.

Genuine fit, not a generic base plate

This is the same hub kit Creality fits to a new CFS unit, built to the same tolerances rather than a generic plate sized to roughly match. It seats into the existing housing without modification, so the repair does not introduce a new source of misalignment.

Light, thin, and built for the job

At roughly 2.2mm thick and 100g, the kit is not there to add bulk, it is there to hold its shape precisely under the CFS's full weight and normal daily use, which matters more for this part's job than being heavy or over-built.

Ordering, shipping and support

This CFS hub kit ships by courier nationwide from our Centurion and Boksburg stores, reaching anywhere in South Africa on the same delivery network as the rest of our Creality range. As a genuine Creality part, it is covered by the standard accessory warranty, with any claim handled locally rather than through an overseas supplier. If the filament tubing also needs attention, our Connector Kit for CFS and wider Creality spare parts range are stocked alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the Connector Kit for CFS?

No. The Connector Kit is the PTFE tube and fittings that carry filament between the CFS and the printer, while this hub kit is the structural base plate that keeps the CFS stable and routes the four filament paths together inside the unit itself. A full repair after damage often needs both, since a knock severe enough to crack the base plate can just as easily kink or split the tubing that runs from it.

Does this affect the CFS's filament runout detection or RFID reading?

No. Those functions live in the CFS's main housing and electronics, not the hub kit. This part is purely structural and routes the physical filament paths, so replacing it does not touch the sensor or RFID system, and those features continue working exactly as before.

How difficult is it to install?

It is a straightforward panel-level swap rather than an electronics repair. With the CFS powered off and any loaded filament removed, the old bracket unclips or unscrews from the housing and the replacement seats into the same mounting points, with no rewiring involved.

What are the signs the hub kit needs replacing?

Visible cracking or flexing in the base, filament catching or tangling during loading that was not a problem before, or the unit rocking slightly on a flat surface all point to the bracket rather than the spools or tubing. If cleaning and re-loading the filament does not resolve a persistent jam, this is worth checking next.

Is this covered by local warranty and shipped from stock in South Africa?

Yes. As a genuine Creality part sold through 3D Printing Store, it carries the standard accessory warranty and any claim is handled locally rather than through an overseas supplier. It ships from our own stock in Centurion and Boksburg, so you are not waiting weeks on an international order to get a CFS back in service.
