Just ordered a replacement extruder filament feed gear for my Monoprice Maker Select(rebranded Wanhao I3) printer. Nothing wrong with mine I guess I just feel like I'll get better quality with the finer teeth. Thanks for making these parts available.

I'm actually looking to start printing flexible filaments and this was a recommended upgrade. I also saw something about adding a PTFE tube to guide the filament better but I'll need to look into that more.

Agreed - I've got the same printer and after trying to calibrate esteps/mm on PLA and PETG filaments and getting really noisy results, I'm looking forward to having this sharper, more "aggressive" gear to make extrusion a bit more authoritative. :)

Really appreciate you making this service available, Chuck!

You are very welcome. If you have any trouble with clicking noise it usually is not enough heat on the hot end. Then there is fine line, the Di3 filament feed tube is smaller than the MK10 tube so it can cause a problem with in the tube which also causes a clogging problem which could cause a clicking.
