Switch to the NG!
?
Micro Swiss NG. It's a direct drive extruder that works like a dream and you can print much faster with it.
Ohhh okay thanks for the rec! I was searching "3d printing NG" and wasn't finding anything
No problem! I highly recommend switching to Klipper, also, if you haven't already! What kind of printer do you have?
Ender 3 v2 with octopi
Nice! There's so much stuff out there for that printed. I've got an Ender 6. I replaced the motherboard with a BTT Manta E3EZ+ CB1, ez2209 drivers, a 7 inch capacitive touch screen, and added the Micro Swiss NG. I'm still fine tuning all of my slicer settings, but this thing runs so much smoother now.
