Micro-Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit for Creality CR-10s PRO/CR-10 Max/Ender 3 V2 Neo

Works great. I can print at much higher temperatures now! Just needed a bit of tweaking to the retraction settings when printing.

This hotend has its ups and downs. Personally Im switching back to the original one that came with my CR-10S PRO. I never had any issues with it and this one keeps getting clogged up. I know what Im doing and Ive seated it correctly but it still clogs up. If I turn on the printer after its been resting I make sure to turn the nozzle heat up to 230 degrees and make sure it is flowing nicely prior to starting the next print. It still clogged up on me on two separate occasions. Both after 24 hours of printing. Trust me, that sucks! Ive wasted enough filament on this and have ordered an original replacement from Creality.

I purchased this for my Creality CR-10S PRO, installation was very easy (YouTube video). You will need to increase your normal temps around 5-10C. Working well and hopefully will last a long time.

Installation was easy enough but after that it was nothing but problems. I was unable calibrate my feeder e steps consistently for reasons unknown even though I did a PID auto tune. After I got the feeder e steps somewhat consistent, stringing tests were a complete mess and I tried to tighten everything while the hot end was heated and stripped the heat block. My ender 3 stock hot end worked perfectly fine and I heard so many good things about micro swiss hot ends, DO NOT BUY THIS IT IS MORE TROUBLE THAN IT IS WORTH.

When comparing print quality, the Micro+Swiss towers over the others I have tested, You Must follow the instructions! (RTFB!)

This product is very well made and is a great replacement for the stock hotend. Extremely reliable hotend!

I wish I could give this hot-end a better review. It is very well made to say the least. That is why I gave it three stars. The hardware they supply is a little subpar. One of the screws that holds the hot end to the printer literally had no way to use it. It was perfectly round inside with no way for the allen key to grab it. I dont blame Microswiss for this as I doubt they make the hardware. I actually installed this hot end right after I made my first print with the original CR hotend. I followed the instructions to the letter. Used a torque wrench and followed some of the tips left in the comment sections. But I kept getting brittle prints and stringing issues. I tried various temps, and finally decided I wanted to try my original hotend once again. I had noticed on a couple prints that the tip would get a little goopy so to speak. So I would clean it off. It wasnt until I pulled the fan cover off to swap it out that I discovered there is a leak. and the whole hotend was covered in PLA. The heating element has literally welded itself inside the hotend. So I am not sure where it all went wrong... But it went wrong :p Ordered an original CR10s Pro hotend kit. This is mostly a hobby, and I doubt I will ever be printing exotic materials. If I do.... I shall revisit this hotend.

Installed by a friend who has way more experience doing this sort of thing. He said it was easy and it worked well.

Works perfect I’ll pricey but you won’t have to buy it again

These all metal hot ends combined with a hardened nozzle make this a great plug and play addition to your stock printer. You can use a much greater number of filaments. It also reduces the chances of clogs and your bowden tube overheating/melting. Consistency is great and print quality is amazing. You’ll need to reduce the retraction settings in your slicer and increase temperature 10-15 degrees. You can not use the same sliced gcode files you used before, otherwise you’ll get over extrusion and messy layer lines. Once you dial it in, you can print abs, petg, CF, and the more abrasive filaments with ease.
