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

On one level this extruder is silly... for $50 more you could move to a direct drive system and be done with it. But if you have an older 3d printer that you are largely happy with and just want easier changing of filament or better control of extrusion, this is about as good as you are going to get. Everything on it from the tension adjustment to the piece of tubing which guides in new filament just makes more sense on this extruder than it does on any other. Really this extruder is a critique of every other extruder I have ever used. Really it works great. For example I am printing out some vase-mode models while intentionally using over-extrusion (0.6mm line width through a 0.4mm nozzle) and it does not miss a beat at the printers standard speed. It just happily pushes filament. Installation is easy except for cutting a notch in the Bowden tube. Some kind of guide or jig would have made that a lot easier. That being said, I did manage to do it with filament snips, so I cant really complain. Combined with a BLTouch and OctoPrint, I have removed all the things I found annoying about 3d printing and am enjoying everything much more. On the other hand, for the amount I have spent on upgrading my Ender3 Pro I probably could have just bought a better 3d printer to begin with!

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.

I have used Bowden Direct Drives for years. This is a nice add on or upgrade.

This wonderful product has been the saving grace to hours of troubleshooting, filament skipping and jamming. Best of all its made in the USA. I now know where I will be getting all of my parts from if they have them.

Eye-popping price. Despite the brand hype and good reviews, just couldn’t bring myself to do it for the longest time. That was a mistake. Could’ve saved myself plenty of wasted parts and product and under-extrusion headaches by opting for a genuine upgrade years ago. It’s been the best addition to my printing setup since I bought a can of Aqua Net hairspray and it’s making my old, original CR-10 shine again. Still think the price is outrageous, but the quality is undeniable. Super pleased with this product.

I had heard it was a simple replacement and it is. I havent had and skipping since switching over.

So far, its been running great, I ran 2-day prints with it and no grinding with metals since its high-quality metal its been running. Id strongly recommend it, it takes a bit more money, but its very much worth the price for the longevity of your printer!

This print was taken straight from the printer... no spider webs... This combined with the Hero printhead mod drastically improved my printing... I also think my popup enclosure helps as I keep my house on the cold side.

I allowed me to run 3D-Fuel Pro PLA+ on it I love the stuff.

The wheel in the arm on mine seized up after less than a year. The $12 cheapo dual geared extruder I had before lasted almost 2yrs. Skip it and buy 2 of the cheapos, and some filament.
