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.

I bought product 3 time from micro swiss as I loved my other extruder I have. It was working like a charm, but this one stoped working.. the reason was that the stepper motor started to skip steps and now stop working. I tryed a other stepper motor to see if it was my mainboard but after switching the motor it was turning normaly... I dont know if I can buy the micro swiss stepper motor as it is made with a special gear built in without screw...

Easy to install, looks solid, quality is awesome.

The included bl touch mount melted and dislocated the bl touch after 2 hours of printing. I think because the temp in my enclosure got too high. Having a metal bl/cr touch mount would make it more robust.

Almost perfect for my needs… just the shroud and the bl touch mount failed causing my adjustment to loose and my fan shroud to fall…

I have been running an original MS DD and hot end on my modded/linear rail Ender 5 Pro for the past few years and loved the reliability and dependability at the slight expense of print quality. That is now over. This new NG version that is designed for mgn12 rails fixes EVERYTHING. The setup was simple. I see the e steps in my modded firmware and I had to reverse the stepper direction as well... Simple. The bl touch also mounted flawlessly. The print quality is also improved..
And I turned up my print speed with no negative impact. This product is a WINNER!!
