Micro Swiss NG™ Direct Drive Extruder for Creality CR-10/Ender 3 Printers

Micro Swiss NG™ Direct Drive Extruder is not cheap but when you consider that it does what it says it does and never lets you down it is worth every penny.There are many things that can go wrong with a 3d printer. Removing one of the major headaches, hotend troubles, is a big thing. I have tried various extruders but none was trouble-free.This is fit and forget. I have used mine for the most challenging filaments, PETG and TPU and the extruder pushed them through without any problems. No clogging and no jamming as long as you adjust the tension arm correctly. Micro Swiss customer support is always there and is very helpful. "So if this extruder is so good why did you contact customer support?" When I first bought this I was having problems feeding the filament into it. Through support, I found I was not letting the extruder do the work, all I had to do was straighten out the first few centimetres of the filament and push it through the Bowden tube until it touched the gears and then via the printer's control panel feed the filament through. Easy Peasy. I don't often give 5 stars so believe me when I say this machine deserves it.

very good build quality, works really well, great amount of torqe on the filiment. very compact. and I love the bare metal look.the only Issue is that my unit did not come with a heater cartrage or thermistor. brought this thinking it was a set and now I had to order additional parts just to get it working. for the price we are paying for whats meant to be a premium product I would expect it to come with at least a cheaper £15-£20 heater / thermistor.
