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

I have both my printers running the NG Revo. I feels like people think that the easily nozzle swaps are the reason to go Revo, for me it's just the removal of all problems associated with the heat block, heat break, and heat sink setup. I don't have to worry about the nozzle not being install correctly; I don't have to worry about filament oozing out where it shouldn't. It just simplifies everything. I had the old non Revo version prior to this and for the most part loved it, but it still gave me headaches that the stock heat block on enders gave me. My biggest gripe with that one was that whenever I would change filament, a plug would get left behind just after the gears and it would be impossible to push the new filament through. I would have to completely disassemble it to get it out. Took me a while to learn that I should just snip the filament and push it through instead.

Definitely one of the best upgrades I have made to my machine. MASSIVE difference in quality and reliability over the stock extruder and hot end. The hassle involved with loading and unloading is gone, I can use a wider variety of filament, and with the ceramic element the time to get to temperature is drastically reduced.It almost feels like I have upgraded to an entirely new printer, that's how drastic of a change we are talking about. Granted this was an old first gen Ender 3 and I'm sure the stock has improved at least a bit, but still.

This extruder was my introduction to the revo nozzles. While they are ghastly expensive, I am super happy with the results. I used to never change nozzle sizes because it was such a production, and now it's a breeze.I use the 1mm high flow nozzle a lot and it produces a much more evenly melted stream of filament that shapes better at higher speeds.The extruder is great as well. The gearing is just right to deliver good results at a broad range of nozzle sizes and the filament grip is excellent, even on slippery hard organics.It would be nice if the fan shroud was transparent... It blocks the light from my toolhead board. It's partially due to how I installed it and I probably should have mounted it higher. A bracket for the hermit crab toolhead board would be nice as well.

What the Amazon listing does NOT tell you is that there are 2 versions of this, a 12V and a 24V. This listing is for the 24V version. The only way to get the 12V version is through the Micro-Swiss website.

This is a great product! I was running the none Revo and upgraded to the Revo as its a much nicer setup for the heat block.My only complaint is that they provide splice connectors. I wish I would have never cut the wires and used the connectors as they are very bulky and really take away from the look of the setup. I actually had to order a new element so that I could get the nice connectors back on it. E3D sells a set of wire extensions that would work perfect to get the splices away from the extruder.https://a.co/d/2VC031z
