Content

This is the first of a series of polls to find out what components you use that will help me to know what I need to support with the Hero Me Gen6.

I would like to get to know what your 3D extruder/hotend needs are,  The hotends in each line below share common mount points and shape/size constraints. 

If you have multiple printers, please check all that apply to what you are using.

The data from this will not be shared anywhere other than here with my subscribers. From your responses I will create future polls for All-Access Patrons and above to vote on the priority order of new Hero Me Gen6 developments.

The Triangle Labs Dragon is the same as the Phaetus Dragon from all my research. The TL Dragon has both groove and top screw mounts like the Phaetus. Please let me know if I am missing something.

I voted Stock Ender because of the size similarities and mount points. But Micro Swiss

The three printers I have are 1 SV03 with a stock titan extruder and a genuine E3D V6 2 Ender 5 Pro with a micro Swiss all metal direct drive 3 Ender 3 V2 with an E3D Hemera direct drive.

6, but the two holes in line with the filament hole are not threaded.

My TL Dragon v2.0 fits perfect with Phaetus Dragon design. I use 4 screws mounting

DAVID RUTLEDGE

Bought a Haldis 3D Red Lizard Q1 V6 Hotend on Amazon, but could not find ANY housing that would fit it. It's a very nice hotend. Ended up sending it back... It would be great if you could design a housing for it.

Ok, yes, those can be used to mount the hotend using M2.5 screws and nuts on the underside to hold. I do have a Hero Me bases, one that supports the 4 threaded hole setup and another that supports the use of the 2 non-threaded holes.

I saw that one and I have been looking for STEP or STL model files of that hotend since. As soon as I can get the files or a mechanical drawing, I can create (if needed) a Hero Me base to support the Red Lizard.

Likely the HMG6 DD Base Phaetus Dragon - Orbiter v2.0.stl or the HMG6 DD Base Phaetus Dragon - Orbiter v1.5.stl found in the Direct Drive group (you don't have to have a direct drive extruder to use these bases) with just the hotend and a Bowden setup.

Triangle Labs Dragon ... probably goes under groove mount category

Jirka

For now I am using stock ender 6 hotend, but i plan to upgrade to the Phaetus Dragon HF in combination with LGX lite.

Michael Brown

I'm using microswiss all metal hotends.

ajshell1

I also use Gulfcoast Robotics hotend, but I believe the footprint of that is basically the same as the stock Creality hotend.

Micro Swiss all metal, but planning on revo 6 in the future.
