Perfectly

So, let me see if I understand this: You make an absolute work of art aluminum housing, light enough, but you send out the cheapest Chinese screws known to man where the allen heads strip. Unbelievable. Who's making decisions over there?

This is the most accurate and lightweight extruder I have ever owned. The Micro Swiss Engineering team hit the ball out of the park on this one. I'm printing at 80+ mm/s in PLA with quality similar to what I had at 40 mm/s prior to installation. I print mostly shop fixtures and prototype parts with this machine and it has increased throughput for me significantly, due to the lightweight design. I have yet to run a larger nozzle, but I'll be changing to a .6 mm nozzle tonight and running some larger parts, I have high expectations. If you're in the market to change hot-ends on a Creality printer I highly recommend this product.

The printer is now faster, retracting works fine and the cooling of the cold end is way more powerful. Only thing I would love to have is something to zip tie the cables and the Bowden tube to.

I had a recent meltdown of my extruder/hotend assembly on my Ender 5 Pro. I had not used it in a long while and all my steps and setting were from the last prints with same PTEG. My granddaughter wanted some special coasters for a party she was having, so a little pressure (she and wife). A quick look indicated some leakage in extruder/hotend area and since there was some smoke and burn marks, time to move on. Buddy of mine raved about MicroSwiss so I checked around and found that they had a complete bolt on assembly for linear rails (upgrade I installed early on) – done deal. Needed it quick so I had to go with Amazon. Arrived next day and the build quality, parts included, and installation instructions were “Outstanding”! I had the new assembly installed and up and running in a couple hours. Whew – crisis averted and coasters sent to a happy grandchild. The new parts inspired me to do a few more upgrades on the printer. This new Micro Swiss NG™ Direct Drive Extruder for Creality Ender 5/5 Pro / 5 Plus (Linear Rail Edition) saved the day. Easy recommendation.
