Introducing the Hero Me Pro at RMRRF 2023 in April! (Patreon)

Over the past few years I have had many requests from patrons and other makers online, for me to create pre-printed kits of the Hero Me.

So you, my patrons, are the first to hear about my new kit. The Hero Me Pro.  (everyone else won't know about it until RMRRF 2023 mid April)

To make this possible, I needed to make the Hero Me easier to assemble. So, the Hero Me Pro base is front mounted to the Gantry Adapter on the printer’s X carriage. The Base is new, the Gantry Adapters are new, the Hotend Mounts are all new, and the Part Cooling ducts are updated.

I also needed to find partners who are the right fit. Companies that are able to consistently print high quality parts and are also aligned well to promote the Hero Me Pro.

To deliver the kits, I am very pleased to announce that pre-printed kits of the Hero Me Pro are now available for purchase online. I have partnered with two great 3D printer upgrade vendors to launch the Hero Me Pro.

3DFused.com in the US and 3DPrintingInEdmonton.com in Canada. Only approved vendors can offer the Hero Me Pro, and they will display the Hero Me Authorized Seller logo on their website (image in the deck above).

Each Hero Me Pro kit is custom ordered to match your specific 3D printer model and printhead components, including hotend, extruder, ABL sensor, and part cooling fans. Visit the sites above to order a Hero Me Pro kit.

All the kit’s parts are printed in ABS to enable printing high temperature filaments and/or in enclosed 3D printers. All the parts are pre-loaded with threaded inserts, and each kit has been assembly tested before it is shipped out. Each kit also includes all the hardware needed to assemble the Hero Me Pro with your printhead hardware (hotend, extruder, ABL, fans, etc.).

The Hero Me Pro is compatible with all the same 3D printers supported by the Hero Me Gen7, but these kits are targeted for high performance 3D printers. Think high flow hotends, high speed extruders, and the Hero Me Pro weighs less than 87grams. Supported hotends and extruders are listed at the Hero Me website linked below and in one of this Post's attached PDFs.

To kick off the release of the Hero Me Pro, my wife and I will be exhibiting at the upcoming Rocky Mountain Rep Rap Festival in Loveland Colorado on April 22nd & 23rd. This is the very first Western US Rep Rap Festival.

So if you live in the greater Denver area or beyond, I encourage you to come to RMRRF to see the Hero Me Pro in action or my other project the Prusa MUTANT, along with all the other 3D printing technologies being exhibited. 

The Festival is free, and you can register at: rmrrf.com

The Hero Me Pro and Gen7 have a new website as well. To learn more about the Hero Me Pro, please visit my new website MerlinMedia.com. And if you are interested in a high quality printed kit of the Hero Me Pro please visit one of the partners above to order a Hero Me Pro.

So now you know why I have been hard to reach the past couple of months. With the Hero Me Pro now released to my patrons, this now frees up the majority of my time to now concentrate on answering your questions and making the Hero Me family better and better.

Attached to this post are two PDFs with more info as well.

Happy Printing,
