{"product_id":"creality-cfs-hub-kit","title":"Creality CFS Hub Kit","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Creality OEM | Five-Way Filament Routing Base | Stabilises the CFS During Colour Swaps | Direct Replacement | Compact 2.2mm Plate | Part 4004010265\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Creality CFS Hub Kit is built for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOwners troubleshooting jams and misfeeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMulti-colour print farm operators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOwners rebuilding a damaged CFS unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sets the Creality CFS hub kit apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA five-way base, not just a footplate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeeps the whole unit still when it matters most\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilament loading, unloading and colour switching all rely on the CFS staying completely stationary. A stable base plate stops the small \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vibration\"\u003evibrations\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine fit, not a generic base plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight, thin, and built for the job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFull specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px; text-align: left;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCompatible system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCreality CFS (Creality Filament System)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eUsed with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eK2 Plus, K2, K2 Pro, Ender-3 Max Hi Combo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eComponent type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eHub kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFive-way filament path routing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003e235 x 235 x 2.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003e100g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDirect replacement into existing CFS housing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003e4004010265\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCreality (genuine OEM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering, shipping and support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this affect the CFS's filament runout detection or RFID reading?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radio-frequency_identification\"\u003eRFID\u003c\/a\u003e system, and those features continue working exactly as before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow difficult is it to install?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the signs the hub kit needs replacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisible 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this covered by local warranty and shipped from stock in South Africa?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Creality","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52616557068575,"sku":"CRE728","price":799.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0800\/0031\/files\/9c809131-345d-482a-a81e-654b4c4d3a6c.jpg?v=1781516271","url":"https:\/\/3dprintingstore.co.za\/products\/creality-cfs-hub-kit","provider":"3D Printing Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
