Micro Swiss Bowden Dual Gear Extruder Compatible with Creality Ender, CR10, CR-10 Pro, CR-10S, CR6-SE, Tornado

This is the right product... If youre looking for an aftermarket extruder, you should be looking for something with dual gears and a notch in the gears for filament location. If you know that much, then youll also know that the next available option is almost TRIPLE the price. Why I picked this one isnt based on price, but due to design. Having the gears open allows for easy cleaning when needed. The hardened steel teeth in the gears will get gunked up with softer materials when the spring tension isnt correct. However, setting the tension is as simple as tuning the grippy knob/nut at the back (easily accessible). The only downside for CR-6 SE users is that you have to print an adapter plate. Its a very simple part, but if youre having issues with your 3D printer, it may be hard to actually print something. Just saying ;) Happy printing!

Couldnt be happier with this extruder. Install was straight forward, it bolted right up to the stock extruder plate and motor. Be aware there isnt a place to mount a filament runout sensor, so this will require a custom part of some type. The runout sensor is a slight hassle, but the quality of prints, ease of getting a great first layer, and the extruder clicking sound going away is more than worth it. Honestly, this should be a no-brainer upgrade for anyone looking for a better printing experience.

Absolutely everything else about this product is amazing. The build quality is great. The dual extrusion gears are very solid and grip amazingly. But the compression system for holding the tube in place is absolutely trash. It doesnt matter how far I put it on how tight I tighten it it pretty much pops immediately. Complete and total waste of time.

This was a great quick and easy upgrade for the Anycubic Vyper. No issues installing and you dont need the cable that reverses direction. I started off the ESteps at 130 per the instructions, ran some tests and ended up slightly adjusting it. You can find videos on YouTube on how to do this with the Vyper and Octoprint. Installing this and testing/adjusting the ESteps took maybe 30 minutes in total.

Was having all sorts of issues with my CR-6 Max under-extruding. Tried swapping nozzles, print temps, filaments, etc., and still kept having lousy quality prints, from a machine that had printed perfectly out of the box. Knowing that Creality stock extruder are prone to failure, plus the fact that the stock extruder on these are difficult to clean/troubleshoot, I researched direct drive options, but wasnt keen on adding the bulk/weight of a direct drive extruder/motor to the hot end carriage. Then stumbled across this. In my humble opinion, this is the best absolute option for FDM printers in that you can keep the print carriage as light as possible, but still have a very reliable extruder that is very easy to install, is easy to inspect, and easy to adjust. Install was very easy. There is a QR code in the box that links to the Microswiss website, where a very detailed install video is available. They also provide a fire that can be downloaded to your PC, that when placed on your printers SD card, can loaded into your printer and printed that will automatically adjust the e-steps as specific to your model printer. They even included an .stl file on the website you can use to print and properly relocate a filament runout sensor. I mean, they LITERALLY thought of everything. Install was easy...took maybe 25 minutes of me taking my time being deliberate, and that includes removal of the old extruder. Filament loading and removal is SUPER easy using the Big Red Knob. Love this thing, and my printer is back to running excellent prints. Never looking back.

I mostly print with carbon-fiber polycarbonate, and my old knock-off bull-dog extruder was marginal. Then I needed to run Cheetah 95A TPU and it would bird-cage instantly. This not only works for both resins but is easier to load. Standard compression fitting on the output. Input side is secured with an e-clip so a longer tube can be added to lead to the dry-box. The included knob falls off often but thats my only complaint.

The original extruder had worn to the point where it refused to feed filament. This is a great drop in replacement of higher quality IMO. Worth the money!

After upgraded the item, the machine performed amazingly.

Its more expensive than the alternatives, but the quality is worth it by far. Id buy this again, and the customer service is great so no worries there! Also, it does not have the extrusion issues that the cheaper ones have, no extrusion inconsistencies.

I bought this as a replacement extruder for my Creality Ender 5 Plus after some persistent extruder problems with my previous all-metal extruder; while that previous one worked fine with basic PLA, I had some persistent issues with more flexible filaments. This extruder cleared all those issues right up: no more clogs, clickies, or snaps. As a bonus, its also much simpler to load than any previous extruder; indeed, once you insert the filament up to the point of the extruder gears, itll thread itself without even needing to use the lever. The only small issue for me was that I needed to print a small offset plate to align the filament sensor from the Ender 5 Plus properly with the extruder, as its feed path is offset from that of the stock extruder from this printer, but thats a trivial exercise for anyone with printing experience.
