(Look familiar? You may remember this self-cleaning tooth profile in the Titan extruder.) Hemera drive gear closeup - individually CNC cut teethĪs a result of opting for an all-metal hardened stainless steel drivetrain, we were able to reduce the size of the gears. Sharp teeth - with a round bottomed profile - provide excellent grip and strongly resist filament debris wedging into the drive gear and in almost all cases it’s self-cleaning as any debris simply falls off the teeth. All the gears are hardened stainless steel. The secondary gear shaft is on a moveable, sprung idler which allows the user to adjust filament tension. We are able to push filament with up to 10kg of force. Dual Drive - Push Harderįor E3D Hemera, we opted for a dual-drive arrangement which provides a huge boost in grip over single drive systems. Thanks in advance for your understanding. If you see any instances of the old name hanging around please do let us know too. Please do excuse us if some of the content is slightly less polished than usual, it's been a long hard night. ![]() Therefore we've had to undergo a rapid unscheduled rebranding, and have settled on Hemera, a somewhat less fashionable Greek god, yet still in keeping with our other mythological names, and our first female one too. Unfortunately, we don't have the time or resources to resolve this through a long legal process and we just want to get on with making incredible extrusion systems. They objected to us naming our product after a Greek god from the Mycenaean era, as they feel that name belongs to them. Unfortunately, less than 24 hours before launch, we received a legal challenge from a company much larger than us, and with significantly more legal resources. When you pop off the faceplate the filament, idler and spring all come along too, as one neat assembly.You're probably wondering why at the last minute everything that you were expecting to be called 'Hermes' is now called 'Hemera'. ![]() Full access is available to clean and replace parts even while filament is loaded. Should you need to disassemble Hemera for maintenance, the internal mechanisms are easily accessible by removing the fan, and undoing the two faceplate screws. Filament tension is increased by rotating clockwise and decreased by rotating counterclockwise. To set filament tension the user simply twists a thumbscrew and a cam slider mechanism with a captive nut compresses a spring and loads the idler. User-centered DesignĪll interaction with Hemera is from the top. Hemera’ heatsink design ensures airflow is diverted up and away from both the HotEnd and the heated bed, reducing the risk of warping and uneven stresses forming in the printed part. Hemera features convenient T-Slots for easy mounting to your printer, plus space for other accessories, part cooling fans and bed levelling probes to name a couple. This exceptional filament constraint also has a significant impact on printing rigid, and semi-rigid materials such as PLA or Nylon. You won’t experience the full extent of its unrivalled filament constraint until you print ultra-flexible materials. Hemera constrains filament like no other extrusion system, fact. It has a custom motor which is based on a NEMA17, along with our own faceplate designs which has allowed us to add our own features for user convenience, such as mounting slots as well as produce a very compact system. Hemera is a system of components designed to work seamlessly together as a single compact product. ![]() ![]() The E3D Hemera offers extraordinary filament control and allows the 3D printer user to take flexible printing to the next level, thanks to its super constrained filament path.įor E3D Hemera, we opted for a hardened stainless steel dual-drive arrangement which provides a huge boost in grip over single drive systems, in fact, we’re able to push filament with up to 10kg of force. Created by E3D to ensure high-quality components and durability. The E3D Hemera is a dual-drive extrusion system complete with a fully hardened stainless steel drive train and optimized heatsink design.
