Updated 4-13-2023 3PM PDT Added information on additional hotends that are supported as well as details regarding hotends that are NOT supported by the Hero Me platform.

Updated 4-6-2023 1PM PDT Added completed and updated Hero Me Gen7 Parts Selection and Assembly Instructions PDF. Added TOC, Firmware and Code info, Part Cooling fan choices, and added details and images throughout the doc. Now 38 pages.

Here is the latest version of the Hero Me Gen7 parts selection and assembly guide with detailed steps on identifying the STLs you need for your specific setup and how to assemble them with your components. Each step is illustrated.

If you are an All-Access tier member (or higher) this goes well with the two half-hour Hero Me Gen7 videos on STL orientation and assembly (see the additional posts below), as well as the detailed FAQs and support on the Hero Me Discord server.

If you are a Documentation or Official patron, you can get access to these videos, the private Hero Me Discord server and much more by upgrading to the All-Access tier for just $2.

Having issues with my Insail heat set inserts pulling out easily on the part of the base where the fan ducts connect.

Andrew Soderberg

What are the spec dimensions of the inserts you are using? The Hero Me spec is M3 tapered inserts with 4.6mm outer diameter by 4mm length. What filament is the Base printed in? Also, did you have detect thin walls turned on in your slicer? Before inserting the threaded inserts the diameter of the printed hole should be between 4.1mm and 4.3mm in diameter. Any larger and the inserts won't be held properly.

I’ll have to double check thin walls setting. Dimensions are 4.6mm OD,

I was having the same issue with the inserts on the base that are used to screw on the gantry adapter. It looks like the screws I was using (M3x8mm) are too long, so as the screw tightens, it pushes the insert out of the hole. I guess I'm going to have to get some shorter M3 screws and try to salvage what I have left of a base

I can't figure out what to use for the new spider 3.0 on my Ender 3 V2 for mount or bottom plate. I tried the OEM mount, but it doesn't fit well I had to modify too much, and it was very wobbly.

Andrew Soderberg

The Hotend mount for the Spider 3 Pro is: HMG7.2 Creality Spider 3 Pro Mount V2.stl OR HMG7.2 Creality Spider 3 Pro PC4M10 Mount V2.stl plus the skirt of the bottom of the Base: HMG7 Creality Spider 350-3 Pro Skirt V2.stl

Hi Mediaman, thanks for your great work. I've just finished printing all the parts for the Ender 3 (not v2) but can't figure out the gantry adapter. I printed the HMG7 Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage, but it appears I have to disassemble the whole carrage and remove the v-wheels. Is that correct? Many thanks.

Hi MediaMan, Any thought on my query? Many thanks.

MediaMan, I have gone through the documentation on the GEN7, I have found some parts but have not found Hot End, skirt, and bowden tube mount for an ender 3 v2 stock creality set up. would appreciate the help. thankyou

I have found the hot end mount and skirt. are there any standoffs. The work everyone has done on this project is incredible by the way.

I have printed out the parts listed but I'm not sure how they would interact with the strain gauge. I may be doing something wrong so any help would be appreciated!

Is there no configurator spreadsheet as there was for previous versions?

Andrew Soderberg

A Google sheets configurator was created by a Hero Me user for the Gen5 a couple years ago. It was not mine, and they never kept it updated.

Andrew Soderberg

The stock hotend mount is: HMG7 Creality OEM-CR10S-Ender3-5 Mount.stl and the Skirt is: HMG7 Creality OEM-CR10S-Ender3-5 Skirt V2.stl There is no Bowden tube mount as the PTFE tube goes directly into the PC4-M10 Pneumatic PTFE connector on the top of the hotend.

Andrew Soderberg

I am sorry for the delayed response, I am working down a backlog of several hundred questions and requests. The Gantry Adapter for the Ender 3 is: HMG7 Ender 3-Pro Gantry Adapter.stl (the 3 and 3 Pro are identical) and HMG7 Ender 3 Series Gantry Clip.stl

Andrew Soderberg

What strain gauge? The Ender 3 V2 does not have a strain gauge. Send pictures of your x carriage assembly to me here: MediaMan3D@gmail.com put 'Hero Me Gen7 Support' in the subject.

Greetings! First off, thank you for the hard work in creating such a versatile solution. Second, and more to the reason I'm reaching out, are there plans to create a hot end adapter for the Creality Spider 4.0 Pro? Or would the 3.0 Pro version work?

Andrew Soderberg

Hehehe now they give it a proper name... That is the Creality Spider Speedy Ceramic hotend. That is in the Hotend folder called: HMG7.3 Creality Spider Speedy Ceramic Mount.stl Upon looking I see that a I did not include the Skirt for this hotend. Here is aDropBox link to the two STLs (now renamed): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0a8fxcivp25fp6u/HMG7.3%20Spider%204%20Pro.zip?dl=0

Hi, I have an Ender 3 with MDD kit so I printed the 'PrinterMods V1.3 Gantry adapter' and 'V1.3 Ender 3 Gantry Clip', but the holes don't line up with the MDD gantry plate (when I line up the protruding hotend mounting holes, the other 2 holes are off by a few mm). I even swapped back to my Ender 3 stock gantry plate and printed 'Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage' gantry adapter and 'Ender 3 Series' gantry clip, but the holes on that don't fit the stock gantry plate either no matter how I orient the adapter. My printer is now disassembled but I can't attach the Hero Me duct to the gantry at all. Why don't any of the gantry adapters fit??

I just read through one of the other questions and saw the gantry adapter for Ender 3 stock is the 'Ender 3-Pro Gantry Adapter'. Now I have to undo my wiring, reassemble my printer, print the part, and then disassemble everything again. While I appreciate the work that went into creating this sytem, if you are effectively charging people for documentation, the documentation should be clear and easy to understand. Even with the documentation, it amounts to guesswork when the naming of the files is unclear - and I could have done that for free.

Andrew Soderberg

Is the Printer mods plate actually marked as V1.3? Also which exact model of Ender 3 do you have ( there are at least 8 (Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3X, Ender 3 V2, Ender 3 Neo, Ender 3 V2 Neo, Ender 3 Max, and Ender 3 Max Neo). With this info I can get you the STL you need. Note, my Ender 3 V Wheel X Carriage is not an adapter, it is an X Carriage replacemt (like the PrinterMods).

Ender 3, no suffix. Thank you for replying and the clarification. I managed to get it to work with the ender 3 pro gantry adapter.
