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

Followed setup instructions to the tee. Heated to 220 literally went to snug a loose nozzle and it sheared off in the hotend. Out 100 bucks. This is garbage!

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.

Worthy upgrade

After getting my printer setup properly and tuning the profile settings, I was able to get some great results from this product. Well worth the price for the direct drive chassis with the all-metal hotend included. If I can get a lighter stepper motor for the extruder I could push this setup even faster.

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.

Got this just in time, shipped right away. Opened the box and you can see everything is in there nothing is missing. Everything looks like it’s good quality material and well made. Can’t wait to start big projects.

Had to use my drill press and a thin wrench to press the old gear off my stock E motor, then ground a deep flat for the setscrew on the motor shaft, if you dont the grub screw for the motor gear will bind up the extruder. I had to trim my capricorn tube a mm shorter but otherwise easy upgrade. If you figure the price of great all metal hot end + good direct drive, you come out ahead (unless you use cheap knockoffs). I had to play with my E steps, 130 was too low, calibration put me closer to 145steps/mm, set retract to 1mm, some say 0.5-0.75mm I didnt have luck with that low.

I bought this to replace an old hemera and it has been nothing but trouble. I followed the directions perfectly and it has leaked hot filament between the heat block and the hot end consistently. Its destroyed several good prints because it sneaks up on you. Ive re tightened at 260 degrees plus several times and now finally I think it could be stripped due to over tightening. What an epic waste of time and money.

I should have Done this long ago soon all my printers are getting changed
