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

It just works

So, I have been tinkering with my old Ender 3 v2 for a few months now, trying out different upgrades such sprite extruder. Finally settled on this extruder setup. My only complaint is they don't include printed bracket for cr touch but quick search on google found some online. The printed shroud look cheap compare to cnc extruder, they should invest some SLS parts like bondtech. I can now print TPU without any issue compare to sprite seem always have issue were it will clog the extruder.

Review of Microsoft Swiss NG

When I first installed the NG I was not impressed. I couldn’t get it do do the basics. It wouldn’t easily load filament, it was noisy and the design of the fan shroud left me with a naked fan, spinning while I’m trying to load filament, ultimately catching a finger in the fan that sheered off all its blades. After installing a new fan the first thing I did was to print a fan cover. The gears were noisy so I fed them a drop of light machine oil and now it’s settled down. I believe it’s doing a good job now but I question their lack of Quality Assurance before the goods leave the factory. I hope it lasts a long time.
