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

The original extruder had worn to the point where it refused to feed filament. This is a great drop in replacement of higher quality IMO. Worth the money!

Installation took less then 10 minutes and was ready to go. Followed instructions and set esteps to 130 and then did a calibration. Mine was very slightly off and had to adjust to 133.4, but the esteps they give you will work mostly which is good for those who dont know how to calibrate their esteps. Ive not had a single skip/slip while using this extruder when your extruder clicks, its skipping. All and all I would buy it again and again.

High quality, the only small thing is that the bowden tube is a little hard to install and slips every once in a while.

High precision CNC parts. Much thinner than comparable dual-gear extruders, yet much more stable. Looks are awesome. Installation involves reversing the direction of the stepper motor. If you have a filament sensor, print an adjustment ahead, given the entry port is moved. You may need a longer Bowden tube replacement as well.

Was having all sorts of issues with my CR-6 Max under-extruding. Tried swapping nozzles, print temps, filaments, etc., and still kept having lousy quality prints, from a machine that had printed perfectly out of the box. Knowing that Creality stock extruder are prone to failure, plus the fact that the stock extruder on these are difficult to clean/troubleshoot, I researched direct drive options, but wasnt keen on adding the bulk/weight of a direct drive extruder/motor to the hot end carriage. Then stumbled across this. In my humble opinion, this is the best absolute option for FDM printers in that you can keep the print carriage as light as possible, but still have a very reliable extruder that is very easy to install, is easy to inspect, and easy to adjust. Install was very easy. There is a QR code in the box that links to the Microswiss website, where a very detailed install video is available. They also provide a fire that can be downloaded to your PC, that when placed on your printers SD card, can loaded into your printer and printed that will automatically adjust the e-steps as specific to your model printer. They even included an .stl file on the website you can use to print and properly relocate a filament runout sensor. I mean, they LITERALLY thought of everything. Install was easy...took maybe 25 minutes of me taking my time being deliberate, and that includes removal of the old extruder. Filament loading and removal is SUPER easy using the Big Red Knob. Love this thing, and my printer is back to running excellent prints. Never looking back.

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.

I have installed the Micro Swiss dual-gear Bowden extruded on two printers - a Creality CR-10S and my Frankenstein i3 clone. This extruder is a dramatic improvement for both. I recently started printing with some matte-finish /particle-supplemented types of PLA. The standard single gear with passive roller was having a hard time feeding these filaments because they are a bit harder than regular PLA, making it difficult for the standard extruder to grip and feed. Increasing the power to the extruder stepper motor helped a bit. But these filaments really benefit from a dual gear system that maintains a positive grip on the filament, not only because the filament is harder to “bite”, but also because the particles contained inside are more difficult to pass through the standard 0.4mm nozzle opening. The upgrade to the Micro Swiss dual gear extruder solved the problem. It’s very well engineered and manufactured in the USA, very easy to install, and is a great all-around extruder for use with standard and particle-enhanced filaments. FYI - I found a ballpark steps/mm setting of 140 was optimal for both extruders on my machines. That said, this is a great product and money well spent.

Works great on a anycubic vyper
