Print quality is a huge improvement, Instructions are innacurate though.
Very solid product, made me very happy to print! Easily my best upgrade so far, solid quality. Spare parts are cheap enough that I am confident that any part that wears out faster than others is not an issue for me. Machined parts are good quality, durable and easy to fix if something comes loose. My only issue is that one of the screws for the fan shroud got chewed up pretty bad, but that was my fault more than anything. (screw was at a bad angle in a printed shroud) The heat block got chewed up on one corner when my hand slipped and the heater cartridge was damaged, but can be easily replaced.

Beautiful Buttery Smooth PETG for Ender 3 Pro
This was my first real upgrade to my Ender 3 Pro, after having screwed up and clogged numerous nozzles trying to print PETG at a temperature hotter than the stock 3 Pro can really handle. One HUGE warning: Look at the extruder motor included with the Ender. If, in the center of the gear, you you have a perfectly circular steel pole, you MUST get a new motor. If, in the center of the gear, you have a pole that makes a "D" shape, you're good, no new motor needed. I'd strongly caution against the DIY attempts to chisel the circle-motors into a D shape... these motors need to be able to step to a degree of ~130 "clicks" just to move filament a single millimeter... that takes an extreme amount of precision that you don't want to mess with. Just spend the extra $20 to get a new motor. The installation process for this I'd describe as "tiring, but easy". The YouTube videos were easy enough to follow. After installation, the printer tweaking was EXTREMELY easy. I had to change my extruder e-steps, and my Y offset, and re-level the bed... that was it. This should be considered an absolute top priority upgrade to the Ender 3 Pro for printing.... literally anything other than PLA. VERY happy with this product.

Fantastic CR-10 upgrade
I ordered this upgrade for my CR-10 after I had some sort of failure of the factory extrusion head that caused my heating block, heat sink, and fans to become a giant, fist sized ball of plastic. I had been wanting to go to direct drive for a while, based on experience with some other printers with it, and this failure was the push I needed to order the Micro-Swiss kit. The Micro-Swiss kit is exceptionally well made, the base bracket is machined aluminum, and it all fit together very easily following the video that is linked from their website. They include a small business card with a QR code that takes you to the video, which is nice. I did have one small issue, the countersink for the shoulder screw for the lever arm wasn’t quite deep enough, and as a result, the screw would pinch the lever arm tight against the base bracket when tightened down, rather than the lever arm floating on the screw shoulder. I fixed that with some very light filing of the back side of the lever arm pivot boss to effectively make it thinner, it took only a few passes of a fine tooth file to get it to fit as intended, so, I consider this within the regular fit and finish of installing something like this, but could be fixed at the factory by cutting the screw countersink jsut a hair deeper. I calibrated the steps on my CR-10 following a few videos off YouTube, and I settled on 139.25 steps per mm as optimal. One other thing that must be done is offsetting the X and Y home, as the true, limit switch driven home now hangs off the build plate a bit. I am getting beautiful extrusion with this direct drive kit; the dual mesh drive rollers really bite hard into the filament, and the heat brake works amazing. You can heat the head up, unload the filament drive lever, and pull the filament back out of the hot end no problem, and the end that comes out looks like it’s been clipped by a pair of scissors! No swelling of the end in the brake like some hot ends, no stringy tail, just a clean square end. The first time I pulled the filament back when doing the step calibration I thought it broke off in the extruder, but, 3 more tails exactly the same has me convinced The heat brake just works that good! I’m running a .8mm nozzle in my CR-10 at 70mm/s speed and this extruder kit has absolutely no issue keeping up!

VERY High Quality Workmanship
A good all-metal hotend and direct drive carrier open a world of possibilities with your printer. With the incredible machining work on this all metal direct-drive hot-end, it’s quite impressive that MicroSwiss has been able to keep the price point as low as they have. The backing plate/carriage is quite versatile, with extra holes to mount other fan shrouds, sensors, etc. and sets the heater block roughly in the same place as a stock ender 3(version whatever). The carriage and direct drive unit all mount in a very balanced way, and I have not noticed any negative effects from the extra weight on the gantry, but a second Z-axis lead-screw was helpful. The heater block and heat break are of equal quality to the carriage, heating up much faster than stock, with no more PTFE tubes melting, and is ready for a higher temp heater cartridge and a +300C thermistor. May upgrade to a K-type thermocouple in the near future.

Great Quality Product, Not the Best Value
The direct drive kit was easy and fun to assemble. Every fit exactly where it was supposed to on my Ender 3. The hot end seems much more durable than stock. Although I love this product, the carriage sagged after installation. I was having to relevel after every print because the assembly was too heavy. I bought a second Z - Lead screw which resolving this sagging issue. No matter how tight I made he eccentric nut, I needed a second Z axis screw. You must modify the firmware on your printer. I had to adjust the offsets for both the X and Y axis according to the MicroSwiss website. It was very easy to compile my own firmware because I had done it prior. If you are not comfortable compiling your own firmware or your mainboard doesn't support Marlin, you might be better of skipping this upgrade. Overall, I love my MicroSwiss direct drive kit and all metal hot end. There are definitely cheaper and easier installations but you can't beat the simplicity of installation and quality of product.

Calibrate your E-Step!
The Good: Comes with all hardware needed for installation. Excellent look and quality. Vastly improved the quality of my prints. The all metal hot end and direct drive extruder work flawlessly together. The Bad: While it isn't difficult to install and setup, It requires a heavy teardown of your printer. If you run a print farm, take your down time into account. Overall: 5/5, You will see vast improvements when it comes to print quality. Beware: YOU MUST CALIBRATE YOUR E-STEPS PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLING!! There are many long form videos on installation and setup on YouTube. I highly recommend watching a few before and during the process.

Great addition to 3D printer! So glad I finally got and installed it!
Very good quality and well built, excellent machining! One of the best items I have added to the 3D printing experience. Improves performance and reduces the amount of clogged nozzles, if used correctly. Have bought other products from them and have always been highly satisfied!

One of the best hot ends out there
As Micro-Swiss is based in the USA, this is a high quality product. I have used other direct drives, and they do not match this one. I found an issue, after an "X" amount of prints with PLA... running 200/60, I have had a few failed prints, due to the grub screw coming loose after a while, causing a heat block... and the print fails. I have reached out to Micro-Swiss for a solution today... (I don't expect to hear back until after Thanksgiving) to see what type of revision/solution they offer. I would STILL recommend this direct drive, and hot end, over any other! (Just keep an eye on that grub screw.) **** UPDATE **** Changed from a 4, to 5 star due to the fact when I contacted Swiss, and explained the problem, they corrected it by providing the replacement part. The hot end is still running strong, and I am still a true supporter of them.
