Continuing with a second poll 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 which extruder(s) you use? If you have multiple printers, please check all that apply to what you are using.

If you have a clone of a known extruder, select the brand name version from the list below.

Note that I am not including extruders like the Bondtech DDX series or the Prusa stock extruder/hotend as those are complete extruder/hotend systems (what the Hero Me does).

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.

Orbiter V2.0, waiting for HMG6 reversed version ;)

The Duel gear extruder on my printer isn't stock. I'm also adding a second, as I want duel filament possibilities.

I have only had one other person mention the OMGV2S extruder. I wasn't aware of it until recently. Fortunately, the Hero Me Gen5 is compatible with it already.

Was going to do it yesterday, but thingiverse was running even slower than usual. I'll try and knock it out right now.

Micro Swiss Bowden Dual Gear Extruder, had a bmg trianglelabs clone but filament would always get stuck when changing.

I'm going to be getting the Micro Swiss Bowden Dual Gear Extruder as well

Can't find a housing/fan setup for it, but would like to use a Haldis 3D Red Lizard Q1 V6 Hotend

Apologies, my hard disk crashed on my computer almost a week ago, I got it back from the service center earlier today and have just finished restoring everything from a backup. I am responding to a backlog of patron questions. I will get this posted in the next 24 hours. Thank you for your patience.

I will answer your question(s) in the next 24 hours. My hard disk crashed on my computer almost a week ago, I got it back from the service center earlier today and have just finished restoring everything from a backup. I have a backlog of questions from patrons over the past week, so I am working through the oldest requests first. Thank you for your patience.

Hello, I'm using the stock CR-10 and wanting to use the BMG-M Direct Drive with the Mosquito hotend. I was curious why there are only files for the mirrored version of the extruder? I already have the extruder and hotend, and everything stripped down to the OEM mount, and having a hard time finding any combination. Am I missing something or is the mirrored combination all that is available?

Kyle Walker

Not to be a bother, but I was wondering if this had been posted yet. Just wasn't sure if I was looking in the right place (Thingiverse). Thank you!

I too have the Micro Swiss Direct Drive & all metal hotend combo. I'm also using bltouch, LEDs, and am trying to get the files for the Hero V6 base. The ones mentioned in the pdf aren't in the .zip file.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have been looking for a STEP or STL file of the Red Lizard hotend, but have not found one yet. Currently the largest Hero Me Gen6 Base is HMG6 Base OEM-MK8-MS-Dragonfly BMS.stl If this does not fit, I would need the width and depth of this hotend (or STEP/STL file) to see if I can make a base to support it.

The mirrored version of the Bondtech BMG (and BMG-M) extruder is currently supported. The reason is that it is much simpler to design a mounting system for the mirror version as it lines up in both the X and Y plains with the Hero Me Base and any hotend of choice. The standard version of the Bondtech BMG body positioning is very off center compared to the Hero Me base in the Y axis and it is much more complicated to design a stable mount. I am working on a design of the Hero Me base that will support the BMG/BMG-M with the stepper facing the rear, but it is not completed yet. My expectation is that I will have the standard BMG and BMG-M supported by the end of February.

Ender3V2: Micro Swiss Direct Drive + All Metal Hotend. Evaluating cheaper Chinese clones for additional printers I'd like to setup.

StarNamer

I'm currently switch from the original Ender 3 stock extruder (bowden) to a Sherpa Mini clone.

Kenneth Kalan

Looks like some file names have changed from the pdf version. I have an Ender 3 Pro & Ender 5 Plus all stock. Best recommendation, 4020 or 5015? using single fan, dual ducts. Also it appears the both share same base, HMG........Dragonfly but the 3 uses Clip_1, Gantry Adaptor_1A, and the 5+ Clip_4, gantry clip_4. I just want to verify those are the correct names since they don't match up 100% to the current docs. Thanks
