In case you want a spare driveshaft or require a different length, you can purchase a driveshaft on its own without having to buy the rest of the hardware.
The Flexible driveshafts used with Flex3Drive are superior to other options on the market. Crimped at both ends and sporting a nominal 4mm diameter, these driveshafts are seriously tough, and precise.
They can carry loads far in excess of those found whilst printing even under the most extreme conditions. Combined with the 40:1 gearing and design elements of the G5 extruder housing, these driveshafts will give thousands upon thousands of printing hours without suffering any failure or fatigue that can lead to print artifacts and wavy surfaces that affect inferior products.
Only the ORIGINAL Flex3Drive extruders use 4mm thick super tough driveshafts for smooth reliable precise and enduring performance. Available in all lengths from 600mm upwards. Supplied with ID4.5mm Nylon tube to ensure the driveshaft is fully constrained internally.
Supplied with machined end ferrule that locates into the worm gear and holds it true in the bearings. To be used with the printed coupler that is downloadable from the download section.

I had the older version of the driveshaft from the older flex3drive extruder. This is an impressive upgrade, there’s a lot less slop in the cable and resulting print quality is much improved
