> 3 dayEdit: 04/12/2022 After some time trouble shooting and getting spare brass sleeves, and somehow getting them to fit the inner diameter of the bowden and the connector, I would recommend this over others, but at the same time, I hate it. Major design flaw, the bowden tube connector part has a outer screw in with a piece used to hold the bowden tube in. If ever you have a jam and need to replace the bowden tube, the screw in stopper will be permanently stuck to the old bowden tube. Making it impossible to use a third party screw in stopper due to it being a outer screw in rather then an inner screw in. The product is great and all, but it is a one time use for a bowden tube.

> 3 dayAbsolutely 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.

> 3 dayEye-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.

> 3 dayI really like this extruder. While the extruder included with the Ender 6 is all metal, it is not truly dual gear as advertised. The follower gear is more of a spline than a gear. The Micro-Swiss extruder is a true dual gear and has a very positive feed. Installation is very straight forward and it just works. Plus, Made In The USA, always a plus for me. This, added to the Micro-Swiss all metal hotend, has made my Ender 6 a dream to operate. Yes, this extruder is a bit more expensive e than others on Amazon but you won’t regret the extra expense.

> 3 dayIve tried other extruders and this one is finally a good improvement over the others. Before I installed it I printed two models for comparison after the install. My printer already has many upgrades already so any improvement would be small anyway. But I did notice an improvement at the edges of parts over the stock Ender design. So Id recommend it if you want to add just a little more precise control on the extrusion. The parts are really well machined and the two gears really grip the filament well. The bowden tube is held in place using a brass flare fitting which Id never seen before in this application. It works great but you have to tighten it well so the brass fitting gets squished just like you are fixing a water pipe fitting. Thats the way its supposed to work so nothing is wrong. It wont come off the tube after that so you might want to buy more of the little flare rings for future use, just go to Amazon to buy them.

> 3 dayI have had inconsistent prints for 2 years. I always thought it my tramming was off, the filament was to wet, or my z offset was wrong. I have learned a lot about 3d printing and the fine adjustments one can make to compensate for these issues. I usually get decent prints after a few adjustments. My first layers have always been a bit sheet. Recently, I was having some serious dot dash stripping in my first layer after a filament snag failed a 1.5 day print. I spent a week troubleshooting the issue. I was so frustrated, because all the tricks I had learn to resolve first layer issues were not working. I had one print finally finish and it was a sponge. I crushed it with little effort. I finally took a close look at the stock brass (soft metal) filament feeder gears and noticed a rounding / bending of the teeth. First off, I didnt know the the filament feeder gear was brass, or I would have figured it out sooner. I picked up this bad boy for my birthday, and on my first print, I had the first layer put down so beautifully and so smooth I almost cried. The product is well made and easily put together. TIP: if you use a filament sensor and you print out the adjustment bracket provided by Micro Swiss, you will need to trim the tubing. I think the attached tubing is Capracorn PFTE. It is oil slick smooth. I think will order some as my next upgrade to replace the stock one I have. Micro Swiss has the quality you have been missing. This product will make your prints better.

> 3 dayWhen I was well in practice of using our new printer I had a lot of frustrating issues. The items and upgrades were brand new so I figured it was me and gave up for a long while. Gave up and purchased this and it solved everything. Now I can smoothly switch filament in the middle of a print with no issues!!
