Super solid extruder for the price! Definitely not the same quality you’d expect from more expensive products but I’ve gotten it working really well! I haven’t been able to get away with the cheap PLA I could print with the OEM PTFE tube on my CR10, but now I can print PETG and good PLA+ perfectly! Couple of settings to help get great results: reduce your retraction AND your advance/prime speed, and bump your temps up a few degrees. I’m using 45mm/s retract and 25mm/s advance/prime and 1mm retract distance for PLA+. Pulling too far back heats up your cold end and spreads the heat too much, and fast advance/prime (the speed the extruder undoes your retract) gums up your molten filament. I also swapped the OEM heat block screws and put a sock, but I’m not sure how important those are.

I never got it to work even after hours, and hours, and even more hours of tweaking. I made sure to do all of the stuff that people recommend. I didn't get any leaking, which I know other people had problems. But it was very inconsistent as I got over extrusion and under extrusion, so it was impossible to dial in. Overall it is very good quality and It seems to be made very well. I could just never get it to work.

This "All Metal Hot End" is garbage. Never worked.. Installed it on a printer and it clogs every single time. The problem is with the design, the heat throat conducts all of the heat from the heat block to the radiator and melts the filament inside the throat which instantly jams the hot end. This was a weak attempt to clone Micro Swiss, but the main difference is that Micro Swiss uses Titanium ally throat which does not transfer all the heat from the heat block to the radiator like this one does.

The item seems to be well made but I can't get it to work on my Ender 5 Plus. I keep getting jam due to heat creep at the Titanium heat break. Removing the 2 screws holding the Heat block and adding thermal grease on the upper part of the heat break helps but not enough to solve the problem. Can't think on any thing else to try, so I've have to use the stock hotend for now.

Good value product. If you are replacing your Ender 3 Hotend, this is a great upgrade. As long as you assemble and break it in. Follow these steps: 1.) Get a quality Nozzle to install. (Key component!! Most of these Nozzles aren't of precise tolerance.) 2.) Watch a MicroSwiss Assembly YouTube video. Install Heating components. 3.) Pay Attention to the part of the video that focuses on: HEAT HOTEND to 240C, after about 3 min at temperature, hold HEAT BLOCK still with a crescent wrench. Tighten NOZZLE with the proper size wrench (Don't over tighten.) Check all screws while HOT. Enjoy!
