> 3 dayNot a bad upgrade, not ground breaking either. I was having jams with my old hotend so I ordered the microswiss one. The jams were caused by the extruder lever screw that was losse. The prints are slightly better than before but not an amazing difference as other people are mentioning. Still a good upgrade that will last longer than the original hotend.

> 3 dayMy stock hotend was having horrible heat creep and underextrusion problems. Also the filament would not adhere to the bed properly. Installing this hotend seems to have fixed all my issues. I am able to print at 80-100mm/s with the Zbrace mod and prints stick to the bed much better.

> 3 dayWorks Great! I wont spend a lot of time talking about it because a lot people have already done so. I will stay that I just installed this kit on my Wanhao i3 V2. and everything is working like a charm.

> 3 dayInstalled this on my Monoprice Maker Select Plus because I kept getting jams with the stock PTFE solution. Its much easier to load/unload filament (though that might be partly due to the Micro Swiss extruder plate which I added at the same time). I can now also print at much higher temperatures which opens up other filament types. Just wish it came with a hardened nozzle so I could print abrasive filaments. Then itd be the perfect upgrade.

Greater than one weekWorks great. Now I will be able to print additional types of filament. Good upgrade for my MP maker select V 2.1

> 3 dayWorks great and my printing on my Wanhao Duplicator i3 v2.1 is super solid. You have to raise the hot end temp a big but its so smooth. Do take care to make sure the nozzle is up flush against the metal feed tube or you will get leaking inbetween that will cause clogs and envelope the entire unit.

> 3 dayMy only regret is not buying this sooner. Printing 2-3x faster and with fewer issues. You will have to make some adjustments in your slicer - totally worth it in my book.

> 3 dayThis was one of three upgrades to my Duplicator I3 that I would say everyone should do. The difference in print quality has been night and day with this upgrade. I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayLearning curve with temps...etc after recently getting into 3D printing, but happy I went with this and Im good with my settings now. I like to tinker and from a technical background so installing this was a snap...Id say anyone with a 3D printer should be technical enough to get this swapped out though and its not scary at all except if you arent careful and burn yourself...only thing to be aware of. There are a lot of videos on the tube ...check out Inside The Mind Of Matt if you want a good walk-through (goofy) on installing this...just search for Operation MicroSwiss.
