> 3 dayThis is great quality and a good improvement over my original one that came with the printer, but the runout sensor wont mount with this in place.

> 3 dayMy 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!

> 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 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.

> 3 dayNeeded upgrade if you want to start printing with more abrasive filament. Or if you just want a more robust extruder. I will say check your stepper motor before ordering this kit and see if the gear is pressed on or has a pinned on gear. If it’s pressed you’ll have to order a different motor which it tells you what model to order in the instructions before you order this like I did and then have to wait and order the motor also. But it’s a solid upgrade

19-11-2024This 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.

Greater than one weekThis adds a great deal of precision to filament metering, which contributes to better print quality. Worth every penny, and the effort to install it!

> 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!!
