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

Used this to upgrade my Tevo Tornado. All the instructions worked but the stepper ran the wrong way. Change the Custom Extension cable to a strait extension cable (cut and res-solder) and it works great. Could not be more happy.

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.

This is a fantastic and easy-to-do upgrade to your 3D printer. The construction is solid and after a few minor adjustments, the print quality is great!

This is a very good extruder for the price I like that I dont have to re program my machine as I bought this until I can fit my hemera on. Its doing the job pretty good which will make me leave one on the other printer.

While this extruder looks high quality with beautifully machined and polished aluminum, I must say Im not impressed with the design. It consistently has TERRIBLE jamming problems when printing TPU, which is one of the filaments direct-drives are supposed to be better at. It also tends to conduct a lot of heat to the motor, as its mounted directly to the aluminum plate which gets quite hot. There really should be a thermal barrier. Overall I am not impressed given the very exuberant price. The OMG extruder is less than half the price, is more configurable, and performs much better.

be very very careful cleaning this hotend! I purchased it less than 3 months ago and have stripped the grub screws. it is junk now. cant find anything about a warranty on amazon. Im going to look at the MS website. probably doesnt cover my issue though

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.

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

E steps MUST be adjusted!!!

Worthy upgrade
