Hemera mount vs Bear extruder weight (Patreon)
Content
Some of you have asked about the Hemera weight and here is a little comparison.
Hemera mount is at 570g and Bear extruder at 585g. The Bear extruder includes the filament sensor so I can say they are very very close.
However, the Hemera has most of the weight lower which might make it more stable compared to the Bear extruder with the stepper on top.
Note that the Bear extruder is using a genuine v6 directly from E3D, not a Prusa version (which has custom heatbreak and non genuine heater/thermistor). On both everything is genuine and the same hardware: brass nozzle, heater, heat block, even the thermal paste! This is reducing the differences while testing it.
