ARCHIVE: Hero Me Gen6 STL Software - August 4th Update (Patreon)

This is the Hero Me Gen6 Archive.

August 4th Update 2:

Geeetech A10-A20-A30 E3DV6-Revo Six-BMO Gantry Adapter.stl
Revised to provide better access to the upper right mount point, changed lower right mount to a threaded insert from the back side.

Geeetech A10-A20-A30 Dragonfly BMS Gantry Adapter.stl
Geeetech A10-A20-A30 Spider-HIC Gantry Adapter.stl
Geeetech A10-A20-A30 OEM-MK8-MS Gantry Adapter.stl
Updated as above, but also for the corrected nozzle standoff positions as described in the update notes below.

August 4th Update: Hero Me Gen6 Update 3 is released

There have been a few updates since July 15th. Here is a list of the updates:

HMG6 DD Base OEM-MK8-MS-BMS - Bondtech BMG Reverse.stl
Revised to support taller X carriages

HMG6 DD Base Phaetus Dragon - Orbiter V2.0 Reverse.stl
HMG6 DD Base Phaetus Dragon - Orbiter v2.0.stl
Revised to lower the hotend by 2mm to allow the heat block to properly clear the bottom of the base when a sock is attached

Universal Linear Rail E3DV6-Revo Six-BMO Gantry Adapter.stl
Universal Linear Rail OEM-MK8-MS Gantry Adapter.stl
Revised to support additional DD bases that are not tall enough

HMG6 Linear Rail Top Belt Bracket.stl
Lengthened to reach belt path under extrusion

Note: If you are using any of the following hotends: Dragonfly BMS, Dragonfly HIC, or Creality Spider (two screw version), please read the following.

A small design error was found in some gantry adapters that causes the nozzle position of these three hotends to be off by up to 2mm from where they should be in relation to the part cooling ducts (and for the prescribed Hero Me 9mm Y axis offset). The difference in thickness of the heat sinks for these hotends was not taken into account when creating the standoffs on the Gantry Adapters.

For bowden setups the issue is that part cooling is not correctly lined up. For DD setups in addition to the part cooling alignment, when using one of these three hotends with a Hero Me DD Base and the old Gantry Adapters, the PTFE tube path is not straight. At least, the PTFE tube will have a slight bend, at worst, the hotend, Base, and extruder will not line up to assemble at all.

The following Gantry Adapters have been revised to correct for this error. If you are using a Dragonfly BMS, Dragonfly HIC, or Creality Spider (two screw version) with one of the following 15 hotend/printer combos, please reprint the Gantry Adapter and update your setup. If you are using one of these three hotends and the Gantry Adapter for your printer is not listed, please let me know and I will prioritize getting your Gantry Adapter updated, as I have 30 more to correct.

These same changes will be coming to the rest of the Gantry Adapter STLs for the Dragonfly BMS, Spider, Dragonfly HIC, and OEM-MK8-MS in the next 5-7 days. If you are using a Dragonfly BMS, Dragonfly HIC, or Creality Spider (two screw version) on a printer other that those already updated, please let me know and I will prioritize getting your Gantry Adapter updated.

The following Gantry Adapters have been updated to remove the Dragonfly BMS notch in the standoff. There is no change to Y axis position. Reprinting one of these is completely optional as there is no issue.
