You might have seen a teaser for the E3D Hemera I published today, here are some more details exclusively for you.


Current features:

  • All wires go to the back like Prusa and Bear
  • Will be compatible with stock Prusa and Bear 
  • Almost access to full bed surface (we should loose 8-10mm on X only)
  • New Bear X ends are needed (more details below)
  • Will have all features of the Bear X axis
  • Take care of the cooling of the heatsink
  • Will need custom firmware for MK2.5(S) or MK3(S) due to a different Pinda position. MK2S share the same Pinda position so no firmware modification required. On a Bear frame you could move the Z axis back and use Bear calibration firmware.

The new Bear X ends will come with few new features:  more room for the extruder, increase stiffness a tiny bit, self center the X axis stepper, reduce risk of warping and maybe something else...


What still need to be done:

  • Wiring of the Pinda is not easy (last picture) and needs improvement
  • Wiring of stepper needs to be cleaner
  • Designing a shroud
  • Improving the look
  • Developing a custom Prusa firmware for the Pinda position on MK2.5(S) and MK3(S)

Exciting, I'm looking forward to trying this out. Patreon dollars well spent! 👍 Keep up the great work

I designed for a remote filament sensor if you want to take a look. Its basically the bear filament sensor but moved above the standard Prusa frame with a PTFE tubing connection under it. But it could be easily modified for a bear frame. Not sure if you tackled this or not.

Hello, yes I thought about it that way as well. I am interested to see how it looks like. Could you share some pictures?
