Hero Me Gen6 comes to the Voron Switchwire! (Patreon)
Content
With the August 4th Hero Me Gen6 update release, the Hero Me Hypersonic is coming to the Voron Switchwire. This is a Stealthburner / Afterburner upgrade, initially for E3D V6 / Revo Six / or any groove mount hotend. The Hero Me mounts directly to an unmodified Voron Switchwire X carriage and replaces the heat sink and part cooling of an Afterburner or Stealthburner setup.
The Afterburner and Stealthburner may be pretty, but they don't come close to the cooling power of a Hero Me Hypersonic! This is the famous Hero Me Gen6 cooling that can bridge whole build plates diagonally with no supports and no sagging! Run at 50% power, still more than 3X airflow than stock and it is whisper quiet.

With the Hero Me, the Voron Switchwire also gets full access to the hundreds of Hero Me component options and add-ons, including mounts for ADXL345 accelerometer PCBs. The ABL probe mount in the X carriage is preserved to get the probe as close to the nozzle as possible.
While dual 5015s part cooling fans are shown, but any of the over 30 Hero Me part cooling duct options are available. In the coming weeks the most popular hotends that are not groove mount will also be supported. No changes are needed for the Stealthburner extruder. A slightly modified Afterburner extruder cover is provided.
