Micro-Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit for Creality CR-10s PRO/CR-10 Max/Ender 3 V2 Neo

Replaced stock hotend on my Cr10s Pro V2, worked perfectly with a 0.6mm nozzle, ZERO jams, whereas the stock hotend jammed constantly, would 100% recommend.

Ive tried several hot ends on my Ender 3 and my Ender 5. Ive had trouble with some of the V6 setups, and decided to give microswiss a try. Ive ended up installing it on both machines. It is a super easy retrofit, as it mounts on the stock creality gantry with no modifications. The spacing on the second one that I ordered seemed to be slightly different than the first, as my nozzle would hit the table before my BLTouch homed out. I printed a spacer for the BLTouch to move it further down, and everything has been great since. I havent had a clog from retraction yet, which was my main gripe with the V6 hot ends. Its also blown through a spool of Polycarbonate filament at 260 degrees without a problem, using the stock heating element and thermistor from creality. Seriously, give this thing a try if you need to print higher temperatures!

I wish I could give this hot-end a better review. It is very well made to say the least. That is why I gave it three stars. The hardware they supply is a little subpar. One of the screws that holds the hot end to the printer literally had no way to use it. It was perfectly round inside with no way for the allen key to grab it. I dont blame Microswiss for this as I doubt they make the hardware. I actually installed this hot end right after I made my first print with the original CR hotend. I followed the instructions to the letter. Used a torque wrench and followed some of the tips left in the comment sections. But I kept getting brittle prints and stringing issues. I tried various temps, and finally decided I wanted to try my original hotend once again. I had noticed on a couple prints that the tip would get a little goopy so to speak. So I would clean it off. It wasnt until I pulled the fan cover off to swap it out that I discovered there is a leak. and the whole hotend was covered in PLA. The heating element has literally welded itself inside the hotend. So I am not sure where it all went wrong... But it went wrong :p Ordered an original CR10s Pro hotend kit. This is mostly a hobby, and I doubt I will ever be printing exotic materials. If I do.... I shall revisit this hotend.

Wonderful upgrade for my ender 3. Opens the door to many possibilities

First of all, this is my third printer Ive installed this on. I was wanting to print some high temps, and wanted the freedom of the nozzle size, since I have lots of extra nozzles. I was able to get this installed in about 30 minutes. Ever since, its been working flawlessly and Ive been getting much better prints off it.

It clogs so frequently that I have not been able to finish a single print with it.

I was quite concerned about switching since I still do use PLA and PETG quite a bit. I thought I would have to wait until I got another printer in order to have one installed with an all metal hot end and keep the other stock for PLA and PETG, but I was quite wrong. Very happy with this product. I have gotten one or two clogs, but without the capricorn tube digging all the way through the cooling block, it is a sinch to simply pop off the tube and use some nylon filament to remove the jam with a hot pull. Again though, the jams are not happening ANYWHERE near as much as many reviews made me fear before I bought this. Only thing I do recommend is that you play with the heat settings yourself. They recommend that you increase the temp by about 5 to 10 degrees after making this switch but I found that my materials do better with 5 degrees less. They come out much cleaner and very well fused. Not sure if its just my hot end is a bit hot, but since I did decrease the temp I have not had a clog. Also huge huge huge important part to this is the retraction. Remember to both reduce your retraction and to tinker with your retraction speed and restart distance (distance that the printer starts at after a retraction). There is no perfect setting, you just need to tinker with it a bit. It will make your life so much easier by making sure you dont end with tons of clogs and that your prints look clean and tidy without stringing.

Nice upgrade

Amazing product! Last hotend you’ll ever need

Could not install nozzle it came with fully even after heating to 200 celcius. Could be a random bad one?
