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.

Can't get E3D to sell me replacement gears/bearings/drive components. I need to keep spare parts on hand to prevent downtime in case of failure. They sell everything else, just not the parts that are prone to wear and tear.

Thanks for the vid Thomas, really amazing how mature the technology around hobby 3d printers is getting :)

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.

Dope intro Tom! Love the content, keep up the good work :)

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. My two cents aside, I tapped the bell and I'm already subscribed. Thank you for another great video and all of your contributions to the community.

Interesting combination. I love the idea of dual drive, but just like you said, I don't remember the last time any of my printers chewed up filament.

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.

Thanks for the video! I was waiting for a good explanatory good quality video with good views since the Hemera came out. Keep it up man

I'm having an Ender 3 delivered this week, and will probably add a direct drive extruder as soon as I can. I messed around with a Tevo Tarantula a year ago and have printed nothing since.

I just switch to bond Tech from the e3d Titan extruder and yeah bondtech stole the show. I'm running it on a Bowden system and can push flexibles all day. One day I might give this a try but for right now it's going to be hard to beat these bontech's I mean look E3d even took their design. It was a brilliant design that works.

Also ich hab die Glocke nicht aktiviert und sehe trotzdem alle deine Videos in der Abobox ;)

@@ianide2480 the air hitting your parts is a minor thing. The major features of this are dual drive and very short filament path, which helps a lot with flexibles and with speed.

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.

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.

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 !

Looks like a beautiful all in one extruder, I plan to get one at some point, perhaps after we get a pancake motor. As a geared extruder it strikes me as a big miss to not have the smaller motor as default. Hopefully that will get resolved soon.

I'd love to see longer version of the throat for the Anet A6 gang, then this would just be a drop-in upgrade for an already great smooth X carriage this printer has. It looks to be made almost as a drop-in upgrade for Anet extruders!

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.

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?

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.

If the Hemera came out a couple months earlier I probably would have bought it. Instead I got the Zesty Nimble. I'm happy with my Nimble, but it does take a lot more reconfiguring to get it to work properly. Especially on an 8 bit board.

I recently have modded my ultimaker clone with a direct drive titan aero heatsink for $7+$11+$7 (complete hotend with pancake nema17 and silicon sock even;) of course, not original, but anyway. Hope it performs kool!

the Hermera and the SKR 1.3 mini are the hotness.

So, in short, it may offer minor improvements, but doesn't solve one of the real problems we all run into; unprotected wires in the hot-end that can be torn off when something goes wrong and we have a nasty blob around the hotend to remove.

Wow that metal gear is pretty good.

IMO Hemera is limiting for various configurations. Specifically this is forcing an air cooler, so no water cooling with a hemera. I have metal plates which go between the motor and the extruder, I think something can be adapted to work in that configuration, but that's not the default the setup. Also with a V6 I have a precision piezo sensor right below either the Titan or the BMG, because it fits the standard groove mount, so yes I'm adding 25mm to my filament path, but it's full constrained in the piezo sensor adapter module. So this setup completely eliminates compatibility with a piezo sensor. This is a nice setup, but way too much lock in to the e3d everything. Now we're looking at a proprietary e3d stepper...that is overkill IMO.

Is this still the best you can recommend? Or which one do you use in favorite? Im having a CR10 which performs perfect, but im about to maybe upgrade to direct drive system, because i print lots of TPU aswell.

for anyone else wondering. you CANNOT rotate the front heatsink so you can mount the thing on the bottom of a carriage. the bearing for the idler fits into the front plate of the stepper motor. so it's not rotateable.

Sorry Thomas, I am now officially subscribed. Cheers.

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?

I'm still waiting for the Prusa XXL, I would love to see it equipped with a pancake Hemera. E3D once again upped their game another step.

I'd rather see a mosquito or slice engineering copperhead nozzle on it.

We'll Prusa does work with e3d. I asked Prusa recently about about the their XL printer it seems like it's still far off. So maybe keep suggesting and maybe e3d can do a custom version for them. I mean they already do a Prusa heatbreak.

@@kbrinker54 please explain your reasoning. Everywhere I've seen the reviewers say it's great but not much of a noticable difference in quality. Just curious.

I follow you on twitter, love your videos. Sorry I didnt subscribe earlyier

Does the motor's heat cause filament to soften when driven by TMC2130 drivers, like in the Prusa MK3S? I'm in the process of rebuilding to a BNBSX extruder to isolate the motor from the filament path due to extreme filament jam issues on long prints.

Awesome video but what I want to know is how it compares to mosquito, plus, say, BMG. Also, I'd argue the biggest drawback is weight.

Could you do a comparison of part cooling fans for the hemera ? there are a lot of designs out there.

is the titan weight with a pancake? I want a comparison to a titan aero with a pancake! my BMG + V6 + Pancake is like 240g so 120g lighter

Titan Aero+Volcano roughly weights 100g, Pancake 120g, Fan (Noctua 4010) 17g. So i ended up with 240g for the extruder including hotend+fan.

The China all metal bmg clones with e3d blocks almost do the same thing, minus the heatsink to prevent air flow from messing with the print.

Hey Thomas, Great video, can you tell me where you found that circular fan shroud STL??- (trying to install on my CR10 S5) Thanks- Also, I cannot seem to find the correct thread for the small heatbreak fan (the one that covers the cool SWOOSH fins) - have all of the screws from the Hemera Kit, screws from my new E3D volcano kit and all the old screws from CR10 original parts (fans, extruder, hotend), none of them work smoothly in those holes.

Please Make an MK2 Upgrade video with the Hemera!

Ah, so it effectively it's already a pancake stepper, just large end caps. What did you end up w/ for retraction for PLA? I'm around 0.25mm w/ my Titan clone and that's w/ a minor backlash click that I'm trying to adjust out.

Regarding weight: compare the whole weight, including mounting accessories. now add the weight of the aluminium bracket of the stock Anet extruder and add the minimum weight of the plastic mount you designed for the Hemera. And? I'm sure the Hemera wins.
