Mediaman and ACWest have teamed up to bring us the Hero 5 Gen 5 master suite, a highly modular 3D printer part cooling system that supports most Creality and clone machines. It supports a variety of hot ends, ABL systems, blower fans in single and dual configurations, and is also compatible with parts from printermods.com and th3dstudio.com
In this video, I provide a visual guide to compliment the thorough written instructions provided on Thingiverse. I also perform before and after print tests with my torture test STL.
This is a great set of parts with amazing attention to detail. I think in time this type of approach will become the new standard in modification parts for 3D printers.

That line about super gluing your nuts was regrettable, but I've had a good laugh from all the comments. Some other points: 1. For the Ender 3, I was already running a 5015 blower and earlier Hero Me. The image shown at the end gives a better indication of the type of improvement you'll get from stock to this: imgur.com/a/EfFlS3P 2. One advantage of running twin blowers is running them on low power, which can often be quieter than a single blower on full power. 3. Some comments about this not playing nicely with Ender 5: apparently the files have been tweaked since first release to improve them and there are smaller ducts to prevent fouling the frame. 4. I'm still running a Noctua on the hot end heat sink, it's just black. Still no clogs or creep. It works very well with this system as the air is directed well. Thanks again to Mediaman and ACWest for this great creation!

@mrb2917 4 года назад

I have an Ender 3 that's currently all stock. I just bought a BMG, a 26mm pancake stepper, and an e3d v6 to convert to direct drive. Do I need to buy the printermods conversion to use the hero me 5 in a direct drive configuration, or is there a set of files I can use in the hero me 5 zip to perform the conversion without the printermods part?

What fortunate timing, I just watched your old duct comparisons since I considered an upgrade (not that it's strictly necessary, I've had surprisingly good experiences with the stock Ender 3 cooling solution) and while the performance doesn't quite blow me away (heh, get it?) and I'll probably stick with stock until I come across the necessity to upgrade, I'll definitely keep this video in mind when the time comes. Thanks a lot in any case for taking the time to walk us through the whole process :)

@jasonwoody8041 4 года назад

waiting for ups to deliver my first 3d printer. based off what i seen the ender 3 is a good option for me to get my feet wet on and play around with modifications. i really appreciate your channel as it has practical info without any nonsense fluff added. as i do with all things because i cant help myself as well as enjoy it i also ordered a whole host of parts for it. i got the skr mini e3, dual z kit with the second stepper motor, micro-swiss hotend with direct drive, glass bed, and a few other goodies. i cant wait to start printing and modding!

@TeachingTech 4 года назад

Just make sure you learn the ropes before you start modding, and add one mod at a time. Too many folks rush in without the knowledge to fix any issues introduced. Other than that, enjoy!

@Aspie_Geek_UK 4 года назад

Also to add to what Michael has just said, set your printer up totally stock for a while until you feel comfortable printing and you have your printer printing to its absolute best. When that is the case, add one mod at a time and leave it for a while whilst tweaking your settings until its printing the best it was again. Also before each new mod, make sure you save all your settings (including firmware if you upgrade your motherboard) so you can always undo the last mod you did and get your printer back to its best again if the mod goes wrong. I learned the hard way that that is a good idea!

@AndrewSoderberg1 4 года назад

The Lightweight ducts that are also part of the Hero Me Gen5 Master Suite that Teaching Tech did not highlight, leave the nozzle completely visible, nothing in front of the hot-end.

@s8nlx661 4 года назад

@@AndrewSoderberg1 I used and love the hero3 for a while and was great. I ended up switching over to the pets-fang only because of the visibility of the nozzle. Ive been wanting to switch back cuz the fang, although works well, is just too much. If I hd a larger printer I wouldnt mind. But on an ender 3 , is just overkill. So this release was perfect timing... it would have been pretty funny to get done printing the old one, and then see this release lol. But thats awesome they have a more open version. I'll have to check that out. Thx for the heads up!

@theone092001 4 года назад

Excellent video! I've gotten great results out of this duct since installing it with the dual 5015s. It's unfortunate that I just reprinted my Hero Me Gen 3 ducts for the E3 + V6 hotend combo before the V5 was released. Maybe I'll reprint down the line if I end up upgrading to a Dragon or Copperhead hotend with the screw mount rather than the V6 groove mount, but I don't think they have those variants yet (at least for the Dragon, the Copperhead might be usable with the Mosquito mount?).

@AndrewSoderberg1 4 года назад

Thanks for using the Hero Me! The Copperhead has a larger (wider) than expected heat sink. I will be designing a Hero Me Base to support it. It is wider than the Mosquito heat sink (I do have a Hero Me Base for the Mosquito).

@Kosh42EFG 4 года назад

Now I already have a Petsfang with dual 5015, so apart from being a lot more compact, I wonder if it's worth the upgrade...

@CrimFerret 3 года назад

I have to question if the extra weight this adds to the print head assembly is worth the benefit. It didn't really look like it, but maybe on some other printing materials it might be more significant.

@paulmilne3038 4 года назад

I have made one up yesterday and away to install it to today. It’s a great video but I think this new fan shroud is a huge pain to fit. I can’t see me installing another one or any of my other printers. It’s a great system it’s just too much of a pain to install and it does make maintenance on the hotend much more difficult and think I’ll go back to my bullseye. He’s done a huge amount of work on this and I’m grateful but why can’t someone make something that’s easier to install and work on afterwards.

Hi Michael. As all your vids and info you create and share this video is again very insightful and informative. Thanks for sharing. I have one question though, I recently installed the Hero 5 on my CR-10s Pro v2 and it seems that the hot-end is somewhat angled. I haven't printed with it yet, but I was wondering if this is normal or not. Did you have this angled position too after installing it on your CS-10?

@albingeorge3107 3 года назад

Really great video. Nice work. But I have a doubt regarding the nozzle position after attaching the extruder to the plate. The extruder position is changed almost 15mm to the -Y axis from the gantry plate. As a result we almost loss the front of the bed. So is there any methods to adjust the nozzle position?

@sn34k1 4 года назад

I had the worst problems with underextrusion with my MicroSwiss. Turned out the bowden tube was not cut perfectly straight so it wasn't sitting flush against the heat break. This caused some friction and issues that were looking like heat creep. I noticed that it would catch when I was putting in filament and not easily move all the way down the hotend. Now that I recut the ptfe and made sure it was flush it has been way better. Might be worth checking.

I need something that works with both a micro swiss hotend and direct drive. The hero me requires a gantry which puts the inlet to the nozzle out of alignment and also just interferes with the direct drive in general. I have printed out six different coolers now and none of them work. Kind of pulling my hair out at this point. I found one that is close, it looks like a hero me earlier version, has cr-10 stock in the name but can't seem to find it. It just has a rail that comes up to strap wiring to that needs to be moved right 7mm. But I cannot edit complex stl

I think I have decided on my next printer; I will probably buy a ender 3 (for its ease of modification), and reliability out of the box. I do know that on my list of 'I wants (may not NEED but do want)' is the IDEX for it so I can get an IDEX printer. My question (beyond for you do a review of it, lol), is where the IDEX heads park off to the sides and the cooling can be 'iffy' what would be good fan ducts for this?

@mochmaster45 4 года назад

Just checked it out seems great but you can't adjust the height of the duct. I non stock nozzle that hangs down further.

@@mochmaster45 I was thinking of changing the mounting holes to slots so the whole assembly could slide up and down a few MM. What nozzle do you have and how much additional adjustment would you need?

Is it compatible with a BLTouch?

marcdosh57 look at the remixes. There are a bunch of different options as well as a BlTouch adapter.

Have you looked into the hydra duct system? It's given me some luck recently especially with the blt touch mounting position.

@Bob_Dub 4 года назад

The extra visibility around the nozzle on the Hydra looks very good.

i'd really love to use the hero me but my weird not-exacty-clone printer has the wires coming out the LEFT side(plus i'm not sure if it's an exact CR10 clone backplate, thus complicating things)

@mciarlillo1309 3 года назад

I'm new to 3D printing and your videos are helping me learn a lot! Can anyone help me out? I just put the Micro Swiss Direct Drive Extruder combo on my Creality CR-10S, and I'm wondering if this is compatible. If so, what gantry base/adapter do I use? Thanks!

In Hero Me assembly part cooling fan orientation leads to issue where fan disk starts to rattle sooner then later and that sound is very annoying. I prefer Petsfang and Bullseye as in those assemblies part cooling fan axis is rotated and fan disk does not act like a drum while X axis is moving. Sooooo much less noise when X axis is moving. But I use old Ender 3 board with regular drivers. Maybe with trynamic drivers X axis does not drum that fan disk so much?

With the excel thing of hero5 nowdays, what is stock ender 3 pro hotend called?

10s Pro with E3dV6 Clone.... bottoms out on the z motors before the nozzle is even close to the bed... Watched Teaching Techs video, used the configurator for parts selection, went back through the pdf instructions and have all the right parts. The x axis mounts bottom out on the z axis motors before the nozzle is even close to the bed.... any suggestions?
