  • E3D’s Hemera is a fantastic dual-drive extruder and hotend combo - and even though it’s not called “Hermes” anymore, it’s still got the potential to make other extruders like the Bondtech BMG obsolete!

    The BMG was always an insane price anyway, I was going to purchase one a few weeks back but the assembled direct drive unit for the CR-10 was €280 plus another €21 for postage. They've priced themselves out of the market as far as I'm concerned. I received my Hermes on Friday (original branding still) and I love it, it's the best extruder I've used in four years of printing.

    Really interesting to learn about the improvements over the Titan aero design. Close ups of the diecasting and drive gear components moving was awesome too. Geat information on how Hermera is a combination of extruder, motor, heatsink, and hotend all incorporated into one assembly. Along with dual drive.
    Your very knowledge perspective on 3d printing makes for really helpful informative vidoes. In this one especially, you pointed out how great & practical it is to actually have this all-in-one component to use on a printer setup. Something I didn't fully consider and it makes me want one even more Fantastic review Tom!

    It would be interesting to make a setup where you have one big frame-mounted stepper to handle the mass of the filament roll, and one small pancake stepper to apply pressure at the printhead. As long as they move in sync and have a bit of filament slack between them, the direct extruder should be totally isolated from the spool, which I think would be a big help.

    Hi, Tom! I just have finished setting up Her.. Hemera. Few things I think can be improved:
    * M3 thread in heatsink. Many will replace stick fan with Noctua or something else and stock screws will be too short
    * An extra bag on M3 bolts in different lengths in 2mm increments to fit accessories to Hemera. Those accessories threads are annoyingly short.
    * Lack of printable accessories. I had to make my own dual fan duct for 40x20 Noctua fans (search thingiverse)
    * Lack of motor settings. I have no clue what current value should I use.
    But I like Herm.. Hemera. Need to test it out now.

    I wanted to upgrade my LulzBot Taz 6 with a good 1.75mm extruder, and the Hemera fit the bill perfectly. As you say, E3D did a great job getting build guides and mounting parts out there. I followed the Taz 6 guide and it went together quickly with very few problems, and I'm now happily printing away with the Hemera. Quality of the printed parts is amazing; easily as good as my Prusa Mk3s. At $119 (plus a couple fans) I consider it a bargain for breathing new life into my Taz, plus I can now share filament between that and my Prusa.

    The Hemera definitely looks like a good bit of kit overall. It has its place in the market for sure and hopefully we see more kits like it in the future.
    The only issue i see with it is that its not new user friendly. The bondtech is no walk in the park either when it comes to a direct drive conversion, but having to flash new firmware to accommodate the new thermistor and heater cartridge as well as any bed leveling probe position changes might turn some people off. That being said, this is hardly a "new user" upgrade, but I have definitely seen people who buy a thousand upgrades for their machine all at once and then get disappointed when things dont work.
    The bondtech on the other hand is compatible with a few existing bowden setups to provide an increase in performance in the interim of a direct drive conversion or permanently. You dont have to make any firmware changes with it if youre not comfortable or its not an option, just swap two wires on the stepper header and add M92 to your starting gcode.
    Im also not too fond of the custom stepper housing with tiny gear on the shaft as this basically throws user serviceability out the window in the event of failure.

    Actually the chineese already made kind of "Dual Drive BMG Aero" before (nearly one year ago). The airflow concept of the hemera is better, also the heatbreak going up to the gears. But on the positive side, you reuse heatbreak, nozzle, hotblock and pencake stepper, so much less money if you want to upgrade an existing system (f.e. if you have already have a copper heatblock, an mepa heatbreak, a nozzleX, an orginal Bondtech BMG).
    I hope e3d will sell the hemera as an upgrade kit without heatblock, thermistor, heater cadrige and nozzle. Anything downside the heatbreak is compatible to v6 anyway. If you have nozzleX or Ruby Nozzle - why being forced to get the standard e3d nozzle and pay for it? If you already have a 24V heater cadrige - why paying a second time?

      Those are all cheap parts that it is nice to have extras of anyway. I don't see any benefit for E3D to create another sku for that.

      @@lavachemist original e3d heatblock with nozzle, heater and thermistor more than 35 € I wouldn't call "cheap" for putting them in a box just as a spare; esp. if the equipment you have already are NozzleX, Cooper heatblock and a thermistor you already have set correctly in Marlin and works well (would not use an other type of thermistor as a "spare" as I prefer a simple replacement in case a wire breaks, to get the printer working again fast, not researching what type I have to set in Marlin for the replacement and reflashing the firmware...)

      I was hoping for an upgrade path from a V6 and priced out the individual parts, I think you save ~ $30-$40 if you buy the parts individually. So it might just be better to sell the V6 second hand and go with an all new kit.
      I don't see why the authorized retailers couldn't do a special bundle though using those parts.

    The Hemera is looking incredibly good value when alternatives might be a mosquito and a bondtech extruder.
    But there's a huge ecosystem around bondtech-like extruders and V6 compatible hotends with really good cooling. I'm not sure I've seen anything as good for the Hemera?

  • @TheNamelessOne12357
    @TheNamelessOne12357 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely needs a water-cooled version for a heated chambers, which includes cooling for the steper and the extruder.
    Also, there is a modified BMG from chinese company TriangleLabs, which is made of aluminium and combines the extruder and the heatsink the same way. And they also sell water-cooled version.

    A super nice video would be a detailed comparison of the specs of the most popular extruders and hotend on the market.
    How much force they can apply to the filament, with which maximum speed.
    How much volume of plastic can flowed into a nozzle before it can't keep up...
    It takes time and money for sure, but what a great resource with all nice graphics, csv and everything !

    Hey Tom! So I got 4 HEMERA upgrades for my print farm for my Ender 3's. I am unable to get some clear Sainsmart TPU printing for longer than 20 minutes before either: A) The filament stops feeding (low tension), or the filament gets crushed and is blocked by the tight tolerances of the Bowden adapter (high tension). I've gone through E3D's entire troubleshooting guide- waiting for support to get back to me. Any ideas what might be causing this issue?

  • @BrandegeePierce

I am torn between this hot end and the slice mosquito + Bond tech. Obviously price is different. If budget were no issue, which would you do? I know you are always loot for video ideas... Maybe a slice mosquito vs a hemera or e3d v6?

  • @christianmontagx8461

    I'm more into speed printing, but i don't know if Hemxxx is good for tuning my Hypercube up to 300mm/s. Got it someone to work? My alternative is something like Nova-Hotend and BMG Extruder. Tests with my Titan Aero lead to step losses and finally a broken Titan extruder case (Backpressure? Unability of V6 Hotend to melt so much plastic in short time?).

    I wonder what the wear will be like on the stainless gear train. I'm sure they went with a grade that they could harden and it'll be fine because the forces are low, but you normally don't see stainless gears in industrial gear trains for a reason. In wash down required applications where stainless steel gears are often used, they normally require some form of lubrication to avoid work hardening and flaking.

    @Side85Winder 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There are many 3d printed geared extruder options around and one thing that E3d never in my mind got right from the original gregs wade extruder was the harring bone gears. I personaly developed my own design using a GT2 belt and pulleys to drive the filament on my choice of drive gear either hobbed or pinion. Mechanicaly pinion gears have a "dead" space of play in them where their is movement but no output in the transmision harring bone gears fixed this problem and so does my belt driven setup. There is nothing worse than E3D changing their sizing of their threads just for the sake of doing so the difference would be so minimum IMO any way.

    @VolksTrieb 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well Tom. Blowing air up away from the bed in that kind of a small space you actually creat a low pressure zone under the hotend which kinda doesnt help. the only way to get very little airflow around the print would be a long hose from and away from the cooling finns.
