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

It is really hard to find fault with this item. The original Creality plastic thing was a disaster, so this one is better by far. Ive tried the various metal versions that cost half the price of this and found them poorly designed. Using bolt threads as bearing surface, for example. The Micro Swiss is easy to install. Just follow the online instructions. People complain about the compression sleeve but I find that to be a much better solution than those screw-in things with the c-ring retainers. The red extruder knob is kind of junk because it is too small for me. There are much nicer ones available on Thingiverse. The filament sensor on the CR-6 has to be moved a bit. Micro Swiss points to a mounting plate on Thingiverse that does the job. This extruder is a solid item, easy to adjust. No more filament slipping and easy to load.

I 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.

Bought a 5kg spool of PLA, and it destroyed my old all metal extruder. This thing sucks down the filament with no complaints. Filament pull is consistent, and this extruder removed lines of under extrusion in my prints

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

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.

Definitely a step up from stock. Make sure you align the gears properly, adjust e-steps and change the retraction settings. In other words, follow directions. Your prints will thank you.

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

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.
