After a long frustrating period my #Ender3-Pro has been transformed by the addition of the #MicroSwiss-NG extruder kit.

Going from Marlin to #Klipper has already halfed the time for many prints while also making fiddling with the firmware a breeze.

I was on the verge of just getting a new printer. Buying the kit seemed to be a gamble, a possible waste of money,but it turned out to be the best upgrade ever.

@oligneisti How fast do you find you can go? have you also done dual Z mod? that is pretty much only one I think I am missing on my Ender 3 V2 now.. curious if it's really an improvement in quality.

I've calibrated input shaping and pressure advance. My settings have the base speed of 150 mm/s right now (which really only applies to the infill). Walls are at 100 mm/s and then a bit slower for bottom/top.

I have not been doing any "delicate" stuff yet but calicubes and cats look good, actually better than what was printed using the default Cura profiles before updates.

I have dual-Z but they are parallel, not independent. It helps but nothing like the MS-NG.

@Rajiv @oligneisti unless you're adding significant weight to your gantry, dual z is completely unnecessary on these machines. Any slop, droop, or movement can be fixed by properly tuning eccentric spacers and squaring and tightening the mounting brackets.

Best value upgrades are Klipper, solid bed mounts, and a better hotend if you're chasing speed.

Mine is still running factory hotend, and that limits me to 98mm/s speed.

4.5k acceleration with input shaping and pressure advance. Quality++

@PuririSplinter @oligneisti mine did end up with more weight. I upgraded to sprite pro direct drive extruder.
