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

My Anycubic Predators came with a 3:1 gear ratio extruder, which had gears and bearings and a lot of parts. The original extruder had a very high steps per mm (430), which gives it great resolution. One of the bearings disintegrated and I bought the micro swiss extruder to replace it. The micro swiss has a lot lower steps per mm (139), which is a lot less resolution, but it is built really well and has a lot less parts. For what i do, i favor reliability over precision. Time will tell, but im betting that the all-metal construction and simplicity will make it last longer than the OEM extruder. After printing with it, i dont see a noticeable difference on the benchy between the original extruder and the micro swiss. I have a feeling that the lower steps per mm on the micro swiss are still high enough to prevent visual defects. Seems like a great value to me!

This is so good it wont start clicking when your hot end starts to clog. It can chew up the filament when that happens enlarging the filament a bit more than 1.75! Thats a problem if youre using Capricorn tubing . I switched to ptfe tubing at 2.0mm ID up to the hot end. I do like this extruder over the Creality single gear.

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

Easy swap for the titan-style extruders on my printers. No more noise, no more skipping

Good.

I really like this bowden extruder. Its well built and a huge improvement over what came with the printer.

This is a well engineered extruder. Easy and quick to install. Easy to use a great works great. I installed it on a Creality cr6se. .

This is the best upgrade you can purchase for your printer. The tolerances are exact, the dual feed gears mesh together really well, the tension system is great. No more chatter, not more failure to feed forward. I works perfectly. I did have to buy a new stepper motor because mine came with a pressed on gear, but the new one was $11. Installation was easy. Go for it, spend the money, you will not regret it.

This was by far one of the most painless upgrades for my Creality CR-6 SE. What prompted me to do it was the constant issues of the stock extruder clogging up and getting that dreaded popping noise and ruining print as a result. Microswiss includes directions and links to videos to guide you on the conversion. It uses your stock stepper motor and the only thing I recommend is keeping your line break sensor. Clip a piece of filament and put it in the sensor to keep it tripped on and keep it plugged in and tuck it under its original mounting spot. (you will rarely have line break issues). All i can say is I wish creality would use this dual allmetal gear for its BOWDEN setup stock.

Got my E5+ a few months back. Research had informed me that the stock plastic extruder was a weak point. Decided to get a replacement right off the bat. I wanted a dual gear Bowden and not red, so this fit the bill. :) I hadnt gotten around to installing it yet when my stock extruder broke after just three weeks. Realized then that I had a stepper motor with a pressed on gear. I could have muscled the gear off and milled a flat onto the shaft for the set screw in the new gear, but I just ordered another stepper instead. Theyre cheap and it doesnt hurt to have a backup. An E5+ will need a printed bracket to reposition the stock filament runout sensor if you want to keep it. If you dont have another printer and havent printed one before you need it, you can just stick a piece of scrap filament in the sensor and lay it aside while youre printing the bracket. The listed 130 steps resulted in a good bit of underextrusion. Based on measurements and the calculations on the Teaching Tech calibration web site, 137 is the proper number on my machine. Overall, a very well-made piece and a good upgrade, even over the metal extruders on some machines.
