4/28/2023 0 Comments Hemera review![]() I’ve already put it on the Raptor 2.0 with a Supervolcano because the stock hotend and extruder were absolutely useless on that machine, and I’ve also put it on the Anet A8 because E3D reached out and wanted to sponsor a conversion guide for that. They’ve also changed how the extruder is mounted, and the fact that there’s nothing sticking out from either side does make it pretty convenient and very universal to mount. If you’re thinking about getting a genuine v6 hotend, really, just get the whole Hemera kit. It’s also very affordable at 90 GBP, so just over 100€, for the extruder with a full v6 hot side and the stepper motor included. ![]() It’s still got dual drive gears, a roughly 3 to 1 gearing ratio and a semi-integrated v6 hotend, this is basically what their Titan Aero should always have been. This video is sponsored by E3D, let’s get to it. So it’s now the E3D Hemera, other than the name, it’s the exact same toolhead. Apparently some INTERNATIONAL company was concerned about the HERMES brand and “kindly asked” E3D to change the name. Naturally, I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and my first impressions are that it’s quite a beast of an extruder. You can purchase these direct from the E3D site.E3D just announced their new Hemera toolhead. As a result, this allows for ease of use when using flexible filaments.Ĭheck out this interview below by Vector3D for more detail.Į3D Hemera is available now! For the Direct Drive version, it is £108 and for the Bowden style extruder, it is £84.00 To get rid of the gap between the extruder and nozzle, the filament is pushed directly into the heartbreak. E3D will mark each one with QC so that it can be tracked down to its origin! Also, they are following what Prusa Research do when it comes to quality checks. The size of this is smaller than their Titan Aero Extruders. The E3D Hemera AKA Hermes is designed so that any tinkering is done at the top rather than fiddling down the bottom. As a result, this assists in mounting the extruder as well as other technologies, such as a BLTouch. Additionally, to help in the mounting of the E3D Hemera, T-nut slots have been inserted into the caps. They have replaced the end caps with customised parts using die casts and machining technologies. Above all, the airflow is redirected to blow upwards rather than on the print area. In addition to the above, the E3D Hemera has an aluminium body which is designed to enhance the airflow. Due to the material type and in addition to using Igus bearings, lubrication is not needed so as a result, they are low maintenance!īelow you can view the slides for the E3D Hemera that were presented at the TCT Show. Using hardened metal dual gears, each groove in the gears is custom milled rather than being tapped therefore allowing a better grip on filament. Therefore, by combining a hotend and extruder, they have created an all in one system which does both! ![]() By getting the workings of a dual drive extruder, they have developed their version with some added benefits! The news was announced at the TCT show 2019 in Birmingham. Thanks in advance for your understanding.” Read on E3D Hemera… If you see any instances of the old name hanging around please do let us know too. Please do excuse us if some of the content is slightly less polished than usual, it’s been a long hard night. Therefore we’ve had to undergo a rapid unscheduled rebranding, and have settled on Hemera, a somewhat less fashionable Greek god, yet still in keeping with our other mythological names, and our first female one too. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time or resources to resolve this through a long legal process and we just want to get on with making incredible extrusion systems. They objected to us naming our product after a Greek god from the Mycenaean era, as they feel that name belongs to them. Unfortunately, less than 24 hours before launch, we received a legal challenge from a company much larger than us, and with significantly more legal resources. “You’re probably wondering why at the last minute everything that you were expecting to be called ‘Hermes’ is now called ‘Hemera’. It was previously known as the E3D Hermes E3D-Online has designed a new dual driven extruder, known as the E3D Hemera.
