Hero Me Magnet Edition Beta (Patreon)

It is real! Here is a preview of the Hero Me Magnet Edition Beta. I will be posting the first beta STL part sets no later than this weekend. I am prioritizing the beta parts based upon the results of the Patreon surveys in July. The first sets of Hero Me Magnet Edition Beta STLs will include the following:  

Gantry Adapters for the follow 3D printer models:  

• Ender 3/Pro/V2 
• Ender 5/Pro/Plus 
• CR-10/S 
• Micro Swiss DD  

Hero Me Bowden Bases for the following hotends: 

• Creality OEM, MK8 
• Micro Swiss All Metal 
• Phaetus Dragonfly BMS 
• E3D-Online V6 and Revo Six 
• Phaetus Dragon (collar) 
• Dragonfly BMO  
• (basically true V6 groove mount clones)  

Hero Me Direct Drive Bases for the following extruders (and the hotends above): 

• Bondtech BMG 
• Orbiter V2.0 
• Micro Swiss DD kit  

This post has a couple teaser photos of one setup.

The specs on the magnets are: 

• True Neodymium magnets 
• 20mm by 6mm by 3mm
  or 
• 3/4in by 1/4in by 1/8in 

The above are the recommended, and are the MAX sizes for the magnets. I will be listing several suppliers of the magnets by tomorrow (some suppliers have already been listed in the #hero-me-magnet channel on the Discord server).

The Magnet Edition Gantry Adapters are keyed to matching slots in the Bases so that there is no movement in the X and Z axes as shown in one of the attached images.

You might also note a change in the design of the Gantry Adapters in general from the sample image. Going forward as I update them, there will now be only one Gantry Adapter per 3D Printer model (really per unique X carriage or 3rd party X carriage). The one shown in the attached image is for both 2 screw mount hotends and V6 collar / vertical mount hotends. Those that are 2 screw horizontal mount (e.g. Creality OEM and clones) will have stand off inserts that go between the Gantry Adapter and the hotend. they fit over the metal standoffs of the X carriage so the screws past through the hotend, standoff and Gantry Adapter to connect with the X carriage as in the current design.

There are of course some exceptions (MS DD kits for example) that will have a different version than above. But this greatly simplifies the Gantry Adapter part selection by cutting the number of STLs in half.

If you are a Hero Me Documentation Tier or Official Patron Tier supporter and would like to participate in the Hero Me Magnet Edition beta, please upgrade to the All-Access patron tier (or higher) to be included in this beta.

Upon release, the Hero Me Magnet Edition STLs will remain exclusive to my patrons at the All-Access patron tier or higher.
