Creality CFS Independent Feeding and Withdrawing Kit

Three slots on your CFS load perfectly. The fourth detects the spool, the blue light comes on, and then nothing moves. Or worse, it pushes filament halfway in and pulls it back out, and your four-colour print stops with a feed error at 2am. When a single slot stops feeding or retracting, your multi-colour workflow drops to three colours, or to one.

This genuine Creality CFS Independent Feeding and Withdrawing Kit replaces the motor module that drives one slot of the Creality Filament System, pushing filament towards the printer and pulling it back during colour changes.

Swap the faulty module and that slot feeds and retracts like new, without replacing the whole CFS.

Who the CFS feeding and withdrawing kit is built for

Small print farm operators

On a farm running several Creality K2 Plus 3D Printer with CFS Combo machines, a dead slot means a printer that can no longer run multi-colour jobs. Keeping one or two of these kits on the shelf lets you swap a failed module between jobs rather than waiting on a complete CFS. A four-colour batch of branded keyrings can be back in the queue the same afternoon.

Hobbyist Makers printing in multi-colour

You bought a Creality Hi Combo 3D Printer with CFS to print in colour, and one slot that refuses to load undoes the point. This kit replaces only the module for that slot, so the repair costs a fraction of a new unit. Fit it on a Saturday morning and print a four-colour tabletop miniature base set that evening.

Schools and makerspaces

Shared printers see heavy use and frequent spool changes by many hands, which is hard on the feed path. A spare module lets a technician fix a slot quickly between classes instead of sending the CFS away. Learners can keep printing multi-colour projects, such as a colour-coded topographic map of their province, without losing a week of lab time.

What sets the Creality CFS feeding and withdrawing kit apart

One slot fails, you replace one slot

The CFS has four spool bays, and each bay has its own independent feeding and withdrawing module. That design is the reason this kit exists. When a single module wears out or fails, the other three slots keep working, and you only replace the part that stopped. This genuine Creality module, part number 4004010264, is a direct replacement for the factory unit, so connectors, mounting and firmware behaviour match the original. You avoid the cost and downtime of a complete Creality CFS 4 Filament Dispenser for K2 PLUS when only one channel is at fault.

Feeding and retraction you can rely on during colour changes

Every colour change in fused filament fabrication with a multi-material unit depends on two movements: pushing the new filament forward and pulling the old one back clear of the hub. This module handles both for its slot. When it works, a print with hundreds of colour swaps runs unattended. When it slips or stalls, you see failed loads, half-retracted filament and feed errors. A fresh module restores consistent grip and travel, so filament leaves the hub cleanly and the next colour arrives where the printer expects it.

A simple 24V brushed motor, matched to the CFS electronics

The module uses a brushed DC motor rated at 24V DC and 0.17A, with a round 2mm shaft 16.2mm long. Those figures matter because the CFS motherboard drives each slot motor at a fixed voltage and expects a particular current draw. Third-party motors with different ratings can behave unpredictably, and one Creality forum user reported that an aftermarket replacement initially worked but later over-retracted and jammed the four-way hub. A genuine module avoids that guesswork.

Part of a complete local CFS spares range

A misbehaving slot is not always the motor. Sensors, the hub and wiring all sit in the same filament path. We stock the related parts, including the Creality CFS photoelectric board, the Creality CFS Hub Kit, the Creality CFS System MotherBoard and the Creality Connector Kit for CFS. That means you can diagnose the fault and order the right part from one supplier, rather than guessing.

Ordering, shipping and support for CFS spare parts

We courier the CFS feeding and withdrawing kit to any address in South Africa, or you can collect it from our Centurion or Boksburg store. It is covered by Creality's 12-month manufacturer warranty, with claims handled locally through our technical support team. Other CFS and printer spares are in our Creality spare parts range, and Creality PLA filament is in stock for your next multi-colour print.

Frequently asked questions about the CFS feeding and withdrawing kit

Is this the same part as the CFS hub or the photoelectric board?

No, this kit is the motor module that drives one slot. The Creality CFS Hub Kit combines the four filament paths into one, and the photoelectric board detects filament. If a slot's motor does not turn at all, this kit is the likely fix. If the motor turns but filament is not detected, check the sensor first.

Will it fit the CFS on a Hi Combo or K2 Pro?

Yes, it fits the standard Creality CFS supplied with the K2 Plus, K2, K2 Pro and Hi Combo. Creality forum users confirm the Hi Combo uses the same CFS unit as the K2 Plus. It is not listed for the CFS-C used with the K1 series or the CFS Lite on the SparkX i7, so check with us before ordering for those.

How do I confirm the module is faulty before I buy?

Swap modules between slots and see whether the fault follows the module. Creality forum users found that some "dead slot" faults moved with the cable, not the module, pointing to the connector board or motherboard instead. Also check for small broken filament fragments in the tubes and gears, which cause similar symptoms and cost nothing to clear.

How difficult is the replacement?

It is a screwdriver job, with no soldering or firmware changes needed. Power off the CFS, unload all four slots, remove the PTFE tubes and fixing screws, then lift out the filament inlet assembly to reach the module and its cable. Reassemble in reverse, then load filament in that slot to confirm it feeds and retracts.

Is local warranty and support available?

Yes, the kit carries Creality's 12-month manufacturer warranty, handled locally by our team in South Africa. If you are unsure whether the motor, sensor or board is at fault, log a technical support ticket and our technicians will help you narrow it down before you order.
