Hero Me Gen7

Advanced 3D Printhead Platform

  • High Performance

  • High Speed

  • High Flow

  • Superior Part Cooling

  • Most Compatible

  • Modular Design

  • Easy To Upgrade

Hero Me is a modular printhead platform for 3D printers with excellent part cooling and the most compatibility across printers, hotends, extruders, ABLs, and other components.

The Hero Me platform is all about choice and personal preference. If you have been upgrading your 3D printer, you've made choices about what is important to you, Your choices are likely going to be different from everyone else. When choosing a hotend, extruder, and ABL combo (not to mention fans and accelerometers), where are you going to find a printhead platform that will accommodate all your selected components (which could be a rare combo), for your specific 3D printer AND provides part cooling that gives you great print results. This is what the Hero Me Gen7 is all about!

Think of the Hero Me platform as lego blocks for printheads, there are mounting parts for each component (hotend, extruder, fans, ABLs, etc.) that stack and mount to a core Base. Component specific mounting parts can be interchanged for another of the same type. So, should you change your component selection(s) in the future, you do not have to start over, you simple replace the single STL mount that is matched to the new component. There is no need to yet again go looking for a new set of mounting hardware that was not likely to have been designed to work with each other in the first place.

 

Michael from Teaching Tech installs and reviews the Hero Me Gen7.

 

This is a massive upgrade on the stock Ender 3 cooling and well worth printing. I'm really impressed with the obvious time and effort that have gone into making a quality product.

The design goals behind the Hero Me are to bring to consumer and prosumer 3D Printers, greatly improve print quality and part cooling performance, lower overall printhead weight, and to be to very modular to support as many different brands and models of 3D printers as possible, along with dozens of hotends and extruders, ABLs, fans, and other addons.

After five years and seven generations, the Hero Me has been downloaded over a half million times. With tens of thousands of installs and satisfied makers, the Hero Me has more than delivered. Hero Me’s standardized modularity has also enabled the creation of over 700 different addons/remixes by individual makers to customize the Hero Me to their specific needs.

So to give you choice and fulfill you personal preferences in 3D printing, the Hero Me Gen7.3.2 now supports over 100 3D Printer models (plus clones), 46 Hotends, 34 Extruders (over 45 mount options), 17 ABL Sensors (34 mount options), 35 Part Cooling Duct options, 12 Cable Management options, 9 ADXL345 mounts, and 4 LED bar mounts (among many other options).

 

Joel Telling the 3D Printing Nerd interviews me at RMRRF 2023.

 

I'm really impressed with how well thought out this system is and how well it all fits and works.

Interview with Daniel of Crosslink
that provides a great overview of the Hero Me platform.

 

Watch this clip for proof that the Hero Me provides the best part cooling possible.

 

Can your printer do this? 240mm, no support, no sagging. With part cooling like this the Hero Me Gen7 can properly cool anything you print.

 

I have used several different mounts for the fan ducts, in several different materials, before settling on dual 5015 Hero Me in PETG. Works great, and I can bridge like I have never bridged before.

*3D Printer models listed above with an Asterix may have limited support. The 3D printer model and its X carriage are fully supported, but a component of the stock printhead assembly may not be compatible (e.g. stock hotend, extruder, ABL) with the Hero Me Gen7 Base or other assemblies. Replacing these stock parts with a 3rd party equivalent component will resolve this.
