Micro Swiss Bowden Dual Gear Extruder Compatible with Creality Ender, CR10, CR-10 Pro, CR-10S, CR6-SE, Tornado

So far, its been running great, I ran 2-day prints with it and no grinding with metals since its high-quality metal its been running. Id strongly recommend it, it takes a bit more money, but its very much worth the price for the longevity of your printer!

This print was taken straight from the printer... no spider webs... This combined with the Hero printhead mod drastically improved my printing... I also think my popup enclosure helps as I keep my house on the cold side.

I allowed me to run 3D-Fuel Pro PLA+ on it I love the stuff.

The Idea to use a brass crush ring to hold the boden tube in was a bad one. It works well but these tubes wear out and with no spares and No instructions on the Size of the crush connector to buy more Youre in for a world of Hurt if you ever have a issue with your Boden tube. The extruder works alright Doesnt seem worth the price It is High quality but I havent noticed a Huge difference between this and a cheap aluminum duel gear.

This is the best upgrade you can purchase for your printer. The tolerances are exact, the dual feed gears mesh together really well, the tension system is great. No more chatter, not more failure to feed forward. I works perfectly. I did have to buy a new stepper motor because mine came with a pressed on gear, but the new one was $11. Installation was easy. Go for it, spend the money, you will not regret it.

Got my E5+ a few months back. Research had informed me that the stock plastic extruder was a weak point. Decided to get a replacement right off the bat. I wanted a dual gear Bowden and not red, so this fit the bill. :) I hadnt gotten around to installing it yet when my stock extruder broke after just three weeks. Realized then that I had a stepper motor with a pressed on gear. I could have muscled the gear off and milled a flat onto the shaft for the set screw in the new gear, but I just ordered another stepper instead. Theyre cheap and it doesnt hurt to have a backup. An E5+ will need a printed bracket to reposition the stock filament runout sensor if you want to keep it. If you dont have another printer and havent printed one before you need it, you can just stick a piece of scrap filament in the sensor and lay it aside while youre printing the bracket. The listed 130 steps resulted in a good bit of underextrusion. Based on measurements and the calculations on the Teaching Tech calibration web site, 137 is the proper number on my machine. Overall, a very well-made piece and a good upgrade, even over the metal extruders on some machines.

Couldnt be happier with this extruder. Install was straight forward, it bolted right up to the stock extruder plate and motor. Be aware there isnt a place to mount a filament runout sensor, so this will require a custom part of some type. The runout sensor is a slight hassle, but the quality of prints, ease of getting a great first layer, and the extruder clicking sound going away is more than worth it. Honestly, this should be a no-brainer upgrade for anyone looking for a better printing experience.

used it on my Creality CR6-se

This went on my cr10 smart. Came from an all metal creality and so far its been a night and day difference. Beautiful machining and the fit was perfect. 130 esteps were recommended I ended up at 139. The recommended retraction settings were spot on for my petg. I was only able to run 30mm a second before with the creality extruder before stripping filament but now I can run 45 and that made all the difference. One thing I didnt care for is they recommend to bevel the bowden tube and it was extremely tough to get it aligned/clocked correctly. I ended up just cutting it smooth and running it right up to the end of the exit tunnel and it feeds through fine. I suspect this will make tpu prints much easier as well so Im excited to try them. Definitely a great upgrade that I wish Id bought in place of the creality.

Metal shavings stuck to the side of the top opening, damage to both sides of the bottom one. Id send it back but I need it today. Loust QC and obviously zero inspection. I was able to clean it up with a micro-file, but for a $50 extruder to have such an abysmal level of quality control? The manufacturer should be embarrassed.
