Hi, I am trying to replace the extruder with a better quality one than what comes stock with the printer. The issue I'm running into is that the stepper motor shaft does not have a flat side, it's just round with the gear built on it. I guess this is not the case will all ender 2 pros? When trying to look for a new stepper motor, it seems difficult to know if what I am purchasing is actually for my model printer. Could someone verify for me exactly what I need to get for this printer?

Are you trying to replace your extruder assembly or just the extruder stepper motor? If just the motor, what is making you want to replace it?
