E3D E3D Hemera Dual Drive Extruder and Hotend Full Kit (12v)

The Hemera hotend and extruder from E3D is one of the shortest and most well-constrained filament paths ever produced for 3D printers. This enables ultra-fast printing speeds but also improves performance during retractions and overall usage of flexible materials like MatterHackers PRO Series Flex.

Hemera lets you print faster than ever before with rigid and flexible materials alike

3D printing is a revolutionary and ever-evolving technology that is changing the nature of production for people around the world all the way from initial prototypes to final production of end-use parts. No matter what step of the production process you find yourself utilizing desktop additive manufacturing for, we can all agree that the ability to print faster is better. The Hemera hotend and extruder from E3D achieves this goal with one of the shortest and most well-constrained filament paths ever produced for 3D printers. Material is pulled from your spool with dual-drive hobbed gears and fed immediately into the top of the v6-ecosystem compatible heat break. This not only enables ultra-fast printing speeds but also improves performance during retractions and overall usage of flexible materials like MatterHackers PRO Series Flex. Flexible materials will find any and all opening in the filament path to wander out and ruin prints. Hemera eliminates each and every spot where other extruder designs see these issues.

New heat break, same great E3D hotend ecosystem

E3D has spent years developing an entire ecosystem of hotend components that make it possible to utilize 3D printing for almost any production workflow. V6 is a compact heater block with nozzle sizes all the way down to 0.15mm to extreme high detail FFF 3D printing projects, while Volcano takes advantage of a larger heater block for a longer melt zone and therefore larger nozzles up to 1.2mm for higher speed printing of larger, stronger parts. The new Hemera heat break interfaces perfectly with these and also the E3D SuperVolcano - a massive heater block with nozzles up to 1.4mm for huge production printing. The Hemera enables all of these much-loved hotend designs to now function with ultra-precise dual-drive extrusion for higher performance than ever before.

Hemera heat break interfaces with any E3D heater block design

Hemera is modular and versatile, ready to be installed on almost any 3D printer

E3D set out to change everything about the direct-drive extruder ideal with Hemera, and to that end that didn't stop with just the drive system. The extruder utilizes a custom-built stepper motor with T-Slot nuts everywhere that support any mounting system you can design. No matter what kind of 3D printer you operate, there is a way to factor in this incredible extruder for improved performance. Along with the modular nature of installing this extruder on any printer, each component is also available stand-alone from the extruder to hotend components for later growth and further refinement.

I just bought a used Robo 3D R1+ and want to upgrade it to a Hemera. I know I will have to do some modifications but I want to make sure the motor rating for current is within the spec for the board inside the printer. I also wanted to know if there is a metal adaptor bracket for mounting availible. It looks like I will need a right angle bracket maybe. I say that someone had posted a printed bracket to replace the factory one but it is in several pieces. Also is there a off the shelf fan and hood for the build fan. I saw several printed versions that I can print but because of the heat I was hoping for a lower profile and higher temp plastic molded one.

I want to put the hemera on my Ender 5+. I don't want to have to buy the downgraded parts and also the upgrades. I just want to buy the hemera with the higher temperature heater, sensor, nozzle and heat block first shot. Is this possible from you?

For an ender 5 plus, I assume the modification is that I have to solder some wires together. Do I have to solder or can they be butt spliced?

The documentation says max temp ~285C, but upgradable to 500C. That’s great 😃. I want to print something at 330C, so I might be over-thinking things. It says you’ll need a copper V6. Is the V6 it comes with not copper? It says you’ll need a P100 thermistor. Ok, but why does the P1000 thermistor say it’s a drop-in replacement without an add-in board. If I’m running a creality 4.2.2 board which do I get? Is there anything else I’d have to upgrade?
