Micro Swiss Direct Drive Extruder for Creality CR-10 / Ender 3 Printers

It is great if your filament is getting jammed and /or your extruder is dripping

I was able to press my gear off with a drill press and some creativity with supports under the gear and a punch in the chuck, I also dremeled a flat spot on the shaft to accept the grub screw. Also does anyone know what the exact filament color/brand/and material of the red printed spacer supplied is? Thanks.

I had clogging issues. It is a fault of Microswiss. If you have clogging issues. Look up thermal paste Microswiss either on reddit or google. Without that fix, I had clogging and nozzle leaking issues that didnt matter the settings I tuned to. It is a cheap fix and something microswiss needs to include in the kits. Directdrive setup is perfect. Printing PLA, PLA+, PETG, TPU nicely now.

I absolutely love this thing! It has made my ender 3 reliable! I can actually trust my printer again. And the prints come out beautiful.

Easy to install and set up. My stock hotend kept getting clogs from the ptfe tubing. Bought this and well see how it goes.

Hot end leaked and melted and caused fire alarm to go off. Most people print over night. Scary stuff. Changed to 4 stars as Micro Swiss came through with a replacement. Thank you Micron Swiss

This thing rocks. 10/10 would recommend. You dont need to do this to make your printer print better if everything is running fine stock, but it is absolutely worth it if your printer is messed up and needs replacement parts anyway.

Update: After directly contacting micro Swiss they sent me the replacement parts for what had broken while following their installation guide. They specified that the nozzle should only be finger tight which is working perfectly. After modifying the stepper settings for the extruder my Ender 3 Pro is ripping and having no issues printing PLA or TPU with superb print quality. Initial Review: I recently purchased this direct drive with the all metal hotend. I was following the steps to fully seat the nozzle and immediately the nozzle ripped off of the hotend. I read the installation manual and even had watched the video tutorial for reference. I’m going to be honest I’m extremely disappointed as this was not a cheep part and should not have broken so easily. Is there a way that the pictured parts can be replaced or at least that I could order only the pieces that are unusable.

I bought this hot end kit to upgrade an old Geeetech A30 printer I have that was well used and abused. The quality of the parts in this kit is top notch! Very high quality machining on all of the parts in the kit. When properly installed and calibrated (!!!) this kit will produce outstanding printing work! Zero clogs or other issues in several very large prints that I have done lasting well over 100 hours each!! Being able to reliably run an entire roll of filament without issues is just fantastic! I couldnt be happier with my purchase. Just to be clear this item was purchased with my own funds and I was not given anything for this review, Im just a happy customer. If you want to take your 3D printer hot end to the next level this kit could be just what you need.

works great on replacement for ender 3 pro. also had the hole predrilled to install BL touch. Thing to remember is to down load the firmware to change the gear/ratio to 130 to prevent over/under extruding.
