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

My Anycubic Predators came with a 3:1 gear ratio extruder, which had gears and bearings and a lot of parts. The original extruder had a very high steps per mm (430), which gives it great resolution. One of the bearings disintegrated and I bought the micro swiss extruder to replace it. The micro swiss has a lot lower steps per mm (139), which is a lot less resolution, but it is built really well and has a lot less parts. For what i do, i favor reliability over precision. Time will tell, but im betting that the all-metal construction and simplicity will make it last longer than the OEM extruder. After printing with it, i dont see a noticeable difference on the benchy between the original extruder and the micro swiss. I have a feeling that the lower steps per mm on the micro swiss are still high enough to prevent visual defects. Seems like a great value to me!

Put the thing together and once the filament is loaded the bowden tube will not stay in the end, just slides out. Gears will not touch so might as well not be a dual gear teath just skip. Used with 1.75mm filament

When I was well in practice of using our new printer I had a lot of frustrating issues. The items and upgrades were brand new so I figured it was me and gave up for a long while. Gave up and purchased this and it solved everything. Now I can smoothly switch filament in the middle of a print with no issues!!

Under 300 hrs on it so far but its running great

Easy install, worked very well right away. Nice quality.

Works as expected. Good quality.

Works flawlessly havent had an issue with it it does come with Annoying crimp fittings instead of your regular SharkBite push to connect fittings that hold in the Bowden tube. So every once in awhile it would randomly pop out due to the little rings that slide over the tube not being the correct size the way I fix that is grab a screwdriver somewhat hog it out and then crimp it down with pliers afterwards lightly so it doesnt restrict flow but keep a good connection.

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!

I cant believe it. I was shown how much difference an extruder can make. Yes Im a newbie, 8 mos. in. After a serious filament clog my stock plastic extruder started talking to me. Click, clack, what the heck was that, kind of noises. So I ran across this bad boy and made sure it would fit my Vyper. After a seamless installation I am beyond impressed by the results. Its like a new printer. It fits like a glove and machined to perfection. When it comes to moving filament NO HESITATION. I went from 425 esteps to 138. Extruder runs quiet as a mouse. NO DRAMA. Follow the instructions, however, in my case, when the wire harness was used it caused the motor to run backwards. Leave it alone on the Vyper, it works fine. But of course check it. I went with 3.5 mm retraction distance at 45mm speed. Left the flow alone, the test cube was perfect. Prints are awesome. I cant say enough about this thing.

As part of the installation, you need to cut the bowden tube from the extruder into a 45 degree point. That was annoying, trying to bevel it correctly. I would have preferred an included tube, with the cut already made. Other than that, it works well with PLA, Nylon and TPU.
