In this video I will show you how to install the new MicroSwiss NG direct drive extruder on the Creality Ender 3 V2. Additionally, I will show you how to install the Creality CR Touch module alongside the new extruder. While doing all of this work, you might as well upgrade your firmware to the latest version of Jyers firmware as it has many great features!

Remember that the firmware update is only necessary if you are installing the CR Touch module. The NG extruder only requires that you update the E Steps in your firmware. You can find the gcode file for that here:

Big thank you to MicroSwiss for providing me the opportunity to test their NG extruder before official release. It has been performing exceptionally well for quite some time now and I have a second production unit running all day and night without issue.
