Micro Swiss Bowden Dual Gear Extruder

Needs a spacer on the FLSUN Q5 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5275350), so print this before removing your existing extruder.
Once in place works great and is a lot quieter than the stock extruder.

I replaced the extruder on my FLSun Speed Racer's printer. It was chewing up filament and missing pieces of the print. Installing the Micro Swiss Dual Gear Extruder dramatically reduced the noise while operating, and improved print quality. Getting the bowden tube in the right place took a couple of adjustments, mostly just hard to get the compression sleeve fitting in the right spot before tightening (the whole tube got pushed off when I was trying to load it the first time). Unfortunately, There was not enough room for the knob to be installed on my printer. Quality of of parts and smooth operation are well worth the price.

Works great!

Loving this extruder setup. I replaced the worn plastic casing OEM extruder with a all-metal MK8 Creality extruder which just gave more trouble. Finally broke down and got the Microswiss. What a difference! This runs super smooth all the way to the hot-end. Installation was a breeze. Printed a relocation bracket for my filament sensor beforehand to streamline installation. Now I have consistent results when calibrating e-steps and it that translates to better quality on the print itself.

Hands down one of the best upgrades I've made so far for my printers. Bought one, installed, and bought another 2 days later. Straight forward install. Quiet as a mouse due to the fantastic machining on the gear meshing. Anycubic Mega series you will want to reverse the bracket on the printer so it will stick out beyond the frame for adjustment. Then it looks like it came factory. Capricorn tubing, set your e-steps, and good to go. Anycubic i3 Mega and Mega S confirmed fit. Reverse cable included but not needed unless you have changed something. You do need to make sure to leave a little bit of space when you insert the tubing with the compression sleeve. Insert it, pull it back about 1mm or so, that way when you tighten the nut on top it will be in perfect position in the v-notch. I would just cut it flush after inserting, however steel razor blades + aluminum= gonna have a bad time. Other than that its amazing. STL files for knob available to make custom colors on Thingiverse. Company maybe should have a link. Hint Hint. Or maybe offer anodizing for an extra cost?? Next in line hopefully the company will have some v6 style hot ends coming out or something compatible.
