Stock Ender 3 V2 with REVO CR hot end? The confusion with me is seeing the hot end being supported from the list of 46+ supported hotness, but not seeing this in the hot end files? Does that mean I just need to use the Creality OEM - CR10s-Ender3-5 2 screw mount? Or is there another I should be looking at?

2024-03-10 18:02:26 +0000 UTCEnder 3, no suffix. Thank you for replying and the clarification. I managed to get it to work with the ender 3 pro gantry adapter.

2023-04-21 15:22:58 +0000 UTCIs the Printer mods plate actually marked as V1.3? Also which exact model of Ender 3 do you have ( there are at least 8 (Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3X, Ender 3 V2, Ender 3 Neo, Ender 3 V2 Neo, Ender 3 Max, and Ender 3 Max Neo). With this info I can get you the STL you need. Note, my Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage is not an adapter, it is an X Carriage replacemt (like the PrinterMods).
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-21 15:17:14 +0000 UTCI just read through one of the other questions and saw the gantry adapter for Ender 3 stock is the 'Ender 3-Pro Gantry Adapter'. Now I have to undo my wiring, reassemble my printer, print the part, and then disassemble everything again. While I appreciate the work that went into creating this sytem, if you are effectively charging people for documentation, the documentation should be clear and easy to understand. Even with the documentation, it amounts to guesswork when the naming of the files is unclear - and I could have done that for free.

2023-04-17 16:05:25 +0000 UTCHi, I have an Ender 3 with MDD kit so I printed the 'PrinterMods V1.3 Gantry adapter' and 'V1.3 Ender 3 Gantry Clip', but the holes don't line up with the MDD gantry plate (when I line up the protruding hotend mounting holes, the other 2 holes are off by a few mm). I even swapped back to my Ender 3 stock gantry plate and printed 'Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage' gantry adapter and 'Ender 3 Series' gantry clip, but the holes on that don't fit the stock gantry plate either no matter how I orient the adapter. My printer is now disassembled but I can't attach the Hero Me duct to the gantry at all. Why don't any of the gantry adapters fit??

2023-04-12 04:25:41 +0000 UTCHehehe now they give it a proper name... That is the Creality Spider Speedy Ceramic hotend. That is in the Hotend folder called: HMG7.3 Creality Spider Speedy Ceramic Mount.stl Upon looking I see that a I did not include the Skirt for this hotend. Here is aDropBox link to the two STLs (now renamed): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0a8fxcivp25fp6u/HMG7.3%20Spider%204%20Pro.zip?dl=0
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-12 01:54:11 +0000 UTCGreetings! First off, thank you for the hard work in creating such a versatile solution. Second, and more to the reason I'm reaching out, are there plans to create a hot end adapter for the Creality Spider 4.0 Pro? Or would the 3.0 Pro version work?
Avram Stanton
2023-04-11 20:06:33 +0000 UTCWhat strain gauge? The Ender 3 V2 does not have a strain gauge. Send pictures of your x carriage assembly to me here: MediaMan3D@gmail.com put 'Hero Me Gen7 Support' in the subject.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-02 18:30:54 +0000 UTCI am sorry for the delayed response, I am working down a backlog of several hundred questions and requests. The Gantry Adapter for the Ender 3 is: HMG7 Ender 3-Pro Gantry Adapter.stl (the 3 and 3 Pro are identical) and HMG7 Ender 3 Series Gantry Clip.stl
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-02 05:22:53 +0000 UTCThe stock hotend mount is: HMG7 Creality OEM-CR10S-Ender3-5 Mount.stl and the Skirt is: HMG7 Creality OEM-CR10S-Ender3-5 Skirt V2.stl There is no Bowden tube mount as the PTFE tube goes directly into the PC4-M10 Pneumatic PTFE connector on the top of the hotend.

2023-04-02 04:09:16 +0000 UTCA Google sheets configurator was created by a Hero Me user for the Gen5 a couple years ago. It was not mine, and they never kept it updated.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-02 03:40:20 +0000 UTCIs there no configurator spreadsheet as there was for previous versions?
Faaiz Ajaz
2023-03-30 08:52:34 +0000 UTCI have printed out the parts listed but I'm not sure how they would interact with the strain gauge. I may be doing something wrong so any help would be appreciated!
David Londono
2023-03-23 18:06:23 +0000 UTCI have found the hot end mount and skirt. are there any standoffs. The work everyone has done on this project is incredible by the way.

2023-03-17 14:18:31 +0000 UTCMediaMan, I have gone through the documentation on the GEN7, I have found some parts but have not found Hot End, skirt, and bowden tube mount for an ender 3 v2 stock creality set up. would appreciate the help. thankyou

2023-03-15 22:49:32 +0000 UTCHi MediaMan, Any thought on my query? Many thanks.
Dave Stubbs
2023-02-23 11:15:00 +0000 UTCHi Mediaman, thanks for your great work. I've just finished printing all the parts for the Ender 3 (not v2) but can't figure out the gantry adapter. I printed the HMG7 Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage, but it appears I have to disassemble the whole carrage and remove the v-wheels. Is that correct? Many thanks.
Dave Stubbs
2023-02-15 12:51:41 +0000 UTCThe Hotend mount for the Spider 3 Pro is: HMG7.2 Creality Spider 3 Pro Mount V2.stl OR HMG7.2 Creality Spider 3 Pro PC4M10 Mount V2.stl plus the skirt of the bottom of the Base: HMG7 Creality Spider 350-3 Pro Skirt V2.stl
Andrew Soderberg
2023-02-11 03:04:29 +0000 UTCI can't figure out what to use for the new spider 3.0 on my Ender 3 V2 for mount or bottom plate. I tried the OEM mount, but it doesn't fit well I had to modify too much, and it was very wobbly.
Anthony Bucci
2023-02-03 17:40:00 +0000 UTCI was having the same issue with the inserts on the base that are used to screw on the gantry adapter. It looks like the screws I was using (M3x8mm) are too long, so as the screw tightens, it pushes the insert out of the hole. I guess I'm going to have to get some shorter M3 screws and try to salvage what I have left of a base
livingindoubt
2023-01-23 17:17:34 +0000 UTCI’ll have to double check thin walls setting. Dimensions are 4.6mm OD,
James Mellinger
2023-01-22 05:42:24 +0000 UTCWhat are the spec dimensions of the inserts you are using? The Hero Me spec is M3 tapered inserts with 4.6mm outer diameter by 4mm length. What filament is the Base printed in? Also, did you have detect thin walls turned on in your slicer? Before inserting the threaded inserts the diameter of the printed hole should be between 4.1mm and 4.3mm in diameter. Any larger and the inserts won't be held properly.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-21 08:56:12 +0000 UTCHaving issues with my Insail heat set inserts pulling out easily on the part of the base where the fan ducts connect.
James Mellinger
2023-01-20 19:02:31 +0000 UTCVery excited to put some Hero Me Gen7s on my ender 3 pros, but I’m a bit confused about what to print. I have 3 stock Ender 3 pros, and an Ender 3 pro I’d like to put my spare Microswiss all metal hotend on, and use my dual gear extruder, and pancake stepper in a DD configuration. My apologies in advance if I asked in the wrong place. I’m new to patreon, and discord. Happy to support such an awesome project, and thanks for everything you have done for the 3D print community
James Mellinger
2023-01-19 05:38:58 +0000 UTCI am sorry but integrated extruder/hotends including the Sprite on the Ender 3 S1 (and other Creality printers, along with the Micro Swiss NG, BIQU H2, Titan Aero, E3D Hemera, and the Bondtech LGX Shortcut), are not compatible with the current Hero Me design architecture (including Gen7). They are all too large, too wide, to fit into a Hero Me Base. The Hero Me was designed before these integrated extruder/hotend combos were developed. To make a Hero Me fit these assemblies it would no longer be a Hero Me as it would not be compatible with any of the hundreds of parts from both my Master Suite and the over 650 remixes and add-ons created by the community. The only way the Hero Me Gen7 can support the Ender 3 S1 is if you wanted to completely replace the stock S1 Sprite extruder/hotend with any of the popular 3rd party extruders and hotends. On a more positive note, I have partnered with another 3D designer/ mechanical engineer to develop Hero Me based part cooling ducts with ABL mounts for the Creality Sprite S1 and the others listed above. We’re a couple months away from having them ready.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-15 05:50:03 +0000 UTCHello Sir I hate to repeat a question about the integrated extruder/ hotend but I noticed that a few months back the Creality Sprite Direct Drive Extruder was mentioned but not in the most recent post is this one of the ones you will be working on. thank you

Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-08 21:45:04 +0000 UTCIs the E3D RapidChange Revo Hemera Dual Drive Extruder and Hotend supported at all? I would imagine not but worth asking about.
Melissa Boettcher
2023-01-08 20:08:32 +0000 UTCOoops,almost forgot. One of the things that gave me fits when -I- was trying to design my mount/shroud is that the H2s are not symmetrical and when trying to mirror it for my IDEX printer the thumb wheel required some standoffs and other considerations. Something extra to consider.
Bob Sisson (Ninovan)
2023-01-08 15:17:07 +0000 UTCPlease let me know when they become available. I am happy to share what I have done for the H2 if it helps...

Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-08 05:03:36 +0000 UTCYes it is the same as the MK8. I will add more detail to the documentation.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-08 05:01:35 +0000 UTCSo i looked through the documentation for this because i was happily surprised to see the Revo CR being supported. But it seems odd to me nothing references the hotend mount that should be used for this. I could figure out it is probably the standard MK8 one, but perhaps this should be more clear
Jacob Carstensen
2023-01-05 21:31:38 +0000 UTCAre there any thoughts about making a Fan Shroud for the Biqu H2? My printer uses TWO of them (IDEX) in an R/L config, so I had to design shrouds that were "mirror-able," and I am happy to share what I did to help. Mostly it was taking other works and combining them into something that worked...
Bob Sisson (Ninovan)
2023-01-05 17:25:07 +0000 UTCThe hotend is mounted directly to the MSDD plate so the filament path is straight from the MSDD extruder to the hotend. For the MSDD Linear rail Kit, you should be using this Hero Me Gantry Adapter: HMG7 MSDD Linear Rail Gantry Adapter V2.stl
Andrew Soderberg
2023-01-04 18:16:43 +0000 UTCI have a micro-swiss linear rail direct plate. I printed out all the appropriate files, but the plate mount is causing a horizontal offset between the opening of the hot end and the exit tube of the DD mount.
Samarth Mahapatra
2023-01-04 14:37:59 +0000 UTCThank you for responding. I got pointed that direction by your discord server aswell.so I just printed the front bracket named mgn9-h. The issue is that now printed out the screw holes don’t allign at all. Mgn9h is supposed to have 16mm and 15mm between the holes. On that file the holes have 14mm and 20mm.
Marlon Kurras
2023-01-01 17:23:04 +0000 UTCThese are the two files you want: For a front mounted linear rail: HMG7 MGN9-H Linear Rail Front X Carriage.stl and HMG7 Linear Rail Bottom Belt Bracket.stl For a top mounted rail, use: HMG7 MGN9-H Linear Rail Top X Carriage.stl and HMG7 Linear Rail Top Belt Bracket.stl Sorry, I thought these file names were descriptive enough. I will see what I can do to improve the naming.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-12-29 10:28:09 +0000 UTCSo im having an ender 3 with the hero me 5 for the standard mk8 hotend. A roller died but I have linear rails laying around so I want to change my x axis to linear rail. In the folder for linear rails I do find one adapter plate that fits for my mgn9 rails, but it has no holes to attach the bottom belt bracket to it. Is there something I am missing or not understanding? The pdf doesn’t say anything about linear rail assembly’s
Marlon Kurras
2022-12-25 08:21:48 +0000 UTCI don't like using this heavy piece of not very precise bent piece of steel very much. Currently I am using a printed bowden setup with a printed back plate. Is there any way to merge/use the gen6 backplate for the Anet A8 with the gen7 adapter?
Edwin
2022-12-17 17:07:49 +0000 UTChello sir, only info & #hero-me-discord channel are available. i can't find #get-started channel. please your help. thanks.
dfran
2022-12-14 08:15:59 +0000 UTCAlso, I do believe the linear rail x carriage is the same
Luis Galindo
2022-12-10 22:33:54 +0000 UTCThanks for responding, I am using the dragon hf hotend. I do intend to convert it into a direct drive asap, and my current extruder is a bmg, but I have an orbiter 1.5 on order. This is the part that's different : https://www.printables.com/model/190106-twotrees-sapphire-gantry-bracket Btw, the four screw top is the same just shifted apparently due to the difference in the gantry bracket. If any more measurements are needed, please let me know.
Luis Galindo
2022-12-10 21:20:47 +0000 UTCI am still working on the Gen7 version of the Linear rail carriage/gantry adapter for Sapphire Pro/Plus and the Hero Me Gen7. I have a Sapphire Pro, which is what the current one was tested against. From what I know the linear rail x carriage is supposed to be the same for these two printers. What hotend are you using? Do you intend to make it a direct drive setup? If so, what extruder do you plan to use?
Andrew Soderberg
2022-12-10 05:48:51 +0000 UTCHi, I became a patron to get Hero Me gen 7 on my two trees sapphire plus (SP-5) but I think the only one available is a gen 6 and I have printed it and it does not fit. Any idea on how to make it compatible? I have a link to the carriage if needed. Thank you
Luis Galindo
2022-12-09 20:07:09 +0000 UTCThank you so much! I appreciate it!!
Vicarth
2022-12-09 14:48:41 +0000 UTCyes the SE is the same as the S apparently I havent modded my 2 S machines they are both still stock (one is offline and I want to change to a revo hotend)
Jim Hribnak
2022-12-09 05:59:03 +0000 UTCI have sent you an invite to the Discord server via Patreon messages. The Voron Switchwire was a special mod of the Hero Me Gen6 Base. That Base mounts to the existing Switchwire carriage. I have not yet looked at doing a Gen7 version as the whole Switchwire assembly would have to be replaced with a Hero Me Gen7 compatible X carriage. I will put this on my to-do list. The Gen6 version is in a folder called 'Voron Switchwire Stealthburner-Afterburner' within the Direct Drive Bases folder of the Hero Me Gen6 archive. This version only supports 'collar' mounted hotends (E3D V6, Revo Six, Spider, Dragon, Dragonfly BMO, Rapido, V6 clones, etc). I have added a couple of photos to the Switchwire post that shows the assembly: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hero-me-gen6-to-69005934
Andrew Soderberg
2022-12-09 05:35:39 +0000 UTCDoes the 'S' have the same X carriage as the 'SE' model? Do you want to use the stock hotend from the Thinker S? Or are you going to replace it with something else? I have a Gantry Adapter for the SE model, but I have not yet made a Gen7 hotend mount for the stock hotend. You are the first to request one in over 2 years.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-12-09 05:15:09 +0000 UTCGood Afternoon MediaMan! I'm struggling to find a gantry adapter for the Voron Switchwire, I would post on discord, but I don't seem to have the invite to the All-Access tier yet
Vicarth
2022-12-08 20:23:54 +0000 UTCWhat Gantry part do I need for an Eryone Thinker S printer?
Jim Hribnak
2022-12-08 18:41:30 +0000 UTCTo properly answer that question, I need more information from you about your setup. As you are an All-Access patron you should go to the Hero Me Discord server and read the posts in the #get-started channel. There are a set of questions there that you need to answer about your setup in order to be able to select the parts needed. I have sent you a Discord invite via a direct message. Print settings (for any filament) are .2mm layer height, 3 walls/perimeters, 35% infill. As ASA will shrink a little, I suggest scaling the parts to between 100.5% and 102% (shrinkage varies from brand to brand) so you might want to print a couple test pieces to see what shrink compensation you need. If you still need help post the answers to those 12-14 questions in the #hmg7-support channel.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-12-08 06:08:39 +0000 UTCHello sir, i am using Ender 5 Plus with orbiter v1.5 and phaetus rapido hotend. could you tell me which parts that i need to download and what is the infill percentage for each part if i am using ASA. i am newbie here. thanks

2022-12-07 18:19:11 +0000 UTCI am sorry but integrated extruder/hotends including the Creality Sprite S1 used on the CR-6SE (along with the Micro Swiss NG, BIQU H2, Titan Aero, E3D Hemera, and the Bondtech LGX Shortcut), are not compatible with the current Hero Me design architecture (including Gen7).

2022-11-30 18:35:24 +0000 UTCI test printed the cr6 base bracket and it covers the mounting holes for the strain gauge but doesn't have appropriate holes to mount the gauge to the base. There's a couple remixes of the hmg6 for the cr6 on thingiverse

2022-11-30 01:23:20 +0000 UTCGen7, yeah. Just using a normal 5015 heatsink fan without a fan guard. I ended up stopping the fan with some tape during input shaping calibration. Not ideal, but these things are cheap so no biggie if I wreck it. Thanks for the reply!

Andrew Soderberg
2022-11-29 14:15:07 +0000 UTCIs this with the Hero Me Gen6-7? Are you using either the Jet or Turbine fan guards? If so. switch to the lightweight guard, that will be much quieter. Also a fan guard can be tightened too much, causing the fan to make added noise due to the blades touching the back of the guard.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-11-29 14:13:09 +0000 UTCAnyone else using an accelerometer add-on? I get a tooooooooon of noise coming from the heatsink fan... Ender 3 doesn't offer a way to turn it off, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to calm the vibrations.

2022-11-28 23:19:48 +0000 UTCHello! Just joined here and it's an amazing project. One question though. I have a CrealityCr-10 V1. Can I use the Gantry Adapter for V2/V3 or should I use a different one? I can't find a correctly named one in Gen7 oder Gen6. Sorry, should this not be the place to ask; I've never used Patreon before.

2022-11-26 18:40:15 +0000 UTCGreat design! The Micro Swiss DD Extruder kit (Ender 5 Plus) is listed as supported but I can't seem to find the proper file to print for the extruder mount.
Brock Fekken
2022-11-25 18:55:20 +0000 UTCI've created a .stp/.3mf/.obj file for you with the fan's exact size if you want :)
Peter
2022-11-25 10:41:37 +0000 UTCUnderstood! Got these since I couldn't find Sunon 12V. URL is to Swedish Amazon so not sure you can find the same on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.se/gp/product/B07RMTGT27/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 If you want I can send you images (need an email) of the fans with your cooling ducts to show the issue. The base/rectangular hole on the fan fits like a glove inside the duct but it's the holes that are misaligned. Also, the center intake hole for the fan is not in center with the hole on the duct either.
Peter
2022-11-24 20:47:48 +0000 UTCNo changes. You must have a 4020 fan that is different than what was available when the ducts were designed. Please provide a link to the 4020 fan(s) you have so that I can see how to modify the duct to support both types.

2022-11-24 18:40:28 +0000 UTCNot sure if you've done any changes to the cooling ducts for the HMG7 since the holes on "HMG6-lightweight-4020-right/left-brace.stl" do not fit the radial fans, not aligned.

2022-11-24 15:50:50 +0000 UTCYes, the docs have that. Basically, .2mm layer height. 3-4 wall/perimeters, 35% infill. If you have a full silicone sock on the hotend and you're only going to print PLA, PLA+, and PETG, then you can print the parts in PLA+. If you plan to print any ASA, ABS, Nylon, or have the Hero Me with the printer in an enclosed chamber, then print everything in ASA or ABS (note that ASA and ABS have a little bit of shrinkage, so you would want to upscale the parts between 100.5% and 102% depending on the specs of the filament. If you have not already, you will want to watch the two videos in the recent posts. One on Hero Me SLT orientation and the other on Hero Me assembly. The the videos are less than a half hour each.

2022-11-24 10:28:37 +0000 UTCJust found this cool project and I am blown away :-) Most likely a newbie question - are there any guidelines on how to best print the parts (infill,..) ?
Karl Codlin
2022-11-24 08:26:04 +0000 UTCI was right - switching to the Riser instead of the Riser Base fixed my issue. I should have realized "Riser Base" was meant to stack directly on top of the base!

2022-11-22 04:20:15 +0000 UTCI am sorry but integrated extruder/hotends including the Creality Sprite S1 (along with the Micro Swiss NG, BIQU H2, Titan Aero, E3D Hemera, and the Bondtech LGX Shortcut), are not compatible with the current Hero Me design architecture (including Gen7). They are all too large, too wide, to fit into a Hero Me Base. The Hero Me was designed before these integrated extruder/hotend combos were developed. To make a Hero Me fit these assemblies it would no longer be a Hero Me as it would not be compatible with any of the hundreds of parts from both my Master Suite and the over 650 remixes and add-ons created by the community. On a more positive note, I have partnered with another 3D designer/ mechanical engineer to develop Hero Me based part cooling ducts with ABL mounts for the Creality Sprite S1 and the others listed above. We’re a couple months away from having them ready. This will be after the Hero Me Gen7 and Magnet Edition are released.

2022-11-22 04:16:46 +0000 UTCI might be wrong but it doesn't seem to support the Ender 3 S1 and their Sprite hotend :(

2022-11-22 03:29:20 +0000 UTCI THINK I know what I did wrong. I was trying to use "HMG7 6mm DD Riser Base Open" - when what I really should have been using is "HMG7 6mm DD Riser"
Charles Scheidecker
2022-11-21 03:21:09 +0000 UTCMaybe there's something I'm not quite understanding?
Charles Scheidecker
2022-11-21 03:13:08 +0000 UTCI think I have my pieces stacked how you're describing. I have my hotend mount stacked on my base, then I have a riser stacked on my hotend mount, then extruder mount on top of riser. I've also tried stacking the extruder mount on top of the hotend mount. I printed all variations of the Orbiter v2 mount, same result with each. The hotend mount stacks neatly with the base, and the riser stacks neatly with the hotend mount.

2022-11-21 03:12:55 +0000 UTCWith Gen7 the small adapter is all that is needed. The magic is the 'U' shaped X carriage is spun 180deg. This has been tested to work correctly.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-11-21 02:11:48 +0000 UTCThe Orbiter Mount (any DD mount) does not stack on top of the Base directly. The hotend is secured to its mount. The hotend mount is stacked on the Base, and then the extruder mount is stacked on top of the hotend mount.
Andrew Soderberg
2022-11-21 02:09:13 +0000 UTCI love the redesign from Gen6. I've noticed that the "Lego" pegs on the Orbiter 2 stack don't quite fit the riser/hotend pieces. I'm excited to get my setup going!
Charles Scheidecker
2022-11-20 20:31:16 +0000 UTCWith an Anet A8, with gen6 you supplied a complete substitute 3d printed part for the X carriage metal back plate. With gen7 I only see a little adapter. Do you need to use the old A8 original metal direct drive back plate supplied with A8 with gen7? As this back plate is an U-shape (with the U closed at the bottom) I do not see a match with the small adapter. What am I missing?

2022-11-20 18:15:19 +0000 UTCThat sounds great, thank you for the quick reply! I just put my printer back together so once the STL releases I can print it and install my first HeroMe. Very excited!

2022-11-20 06:56:27 +0000 UTCThe Hotend mount for the CR-10S Pro is being finished this weekend. I expect to post it by tomorrow evening (hopefully sooner).
Andrew Soderberg
2022-11-20 04:22:34 +0000 UTCI printed out a bunch of parts to modify my Creality CR10S Pro V2 but I can't seem to find a hotend mount that works. The OEM MK8 MS mount is too small for the barrel at the top of the hotend. I'm looking at the Spider 350 mount and that may work but I have the entire printer apart right now trying to install so don't want to put it all back together just to print the Spider 350 mount and find out that it does not fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michael Anthony
2022-11-20 03:09:44 +0000 UTCWould the compatible printer be the Anet A8?

2022-11-19 22:09:22 +0000 UTCI've read the documentation and seen the videos, but for Prusa or i3 style it doesn't have any mention in the files or videos, and I don't know which printer would be compatible. Remembering that I'm building my Prusa Bear, so it's all custom, with Marlin firmware, so any changes are welcome.
Valter F.C.
2022-11-19 22:07:17 +0000 UTCI have not made a direct 'Prusa' compatible Hero Me Gen7, as Prusa's software expects the PINDA probe to be in a specific location (in relation to the nozzle) in order for the calibration tests to pass. There are Hero Me Gantry Adapters that mount to X carriages of i3 style printers with the 3 LM8 bearings, so if you are not running Priusa firmware it is possible to add the Hero Me to a Prusa clone.

2022-11-18 17:45:24 +0000 UTCGreat work! Here's my tiny contribution as a "reviewer": BMS – Phaetus Dragonfly BMO hotend (two screw horizontal mount) BMO – Phaetus Dragonfly BMS hotend (collar/groove mount) I believe that the titles and descriptions are mixed.
