About this 3D model

UPDATED June 3, 2023 Hero Me Gen7 Release 3.2 Posted! Hero Me Gen7 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 Gen7 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. Here is a great overview of the Hero Me platform when I spoke with Joel the 3D Printing Nerd at RMRRF in April. 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). 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. Documentation: While the Zip of all the Hero Me Gen7 STLs is organized into folders by component category, with sub-folders for type and brand with well defined filenames, if you want documentation to help you select and assemble the Hero Me Gen7 for your specific 3D printer, you can get a detailed 56 page parts selection and illustrated assembly guide by supporting me on Patreon for $5. If you become an All-Access supporter for just $5 more, you also get assembly videos, private Discord server access, direct technical support, as well as exclusive access to new releases (including Gen7.3 and more) 30 days before being posted to Printables, Thangs, and other STL libraries. https://patreon.com/MediaMan3D or https://thangs.com/designer/MediaMan3D For those who may think that the Hero Me is heavy, I can see why you think that, but the Hero Me is comparatively quite light. A full complement of printed parts (with threaded inserts) for a dual fan, hotend/direct drive configuration, with ABL, ADXL, and LED mounts is just under 87grams. Lighter weight that many stock printhead setups and most other replacement setups. A simple Bowden setup with no ABL, can be as few as just 4-5 printed parts. A fully loaded printhead with hotend, extruder, ABL, dual fans, ADXL345, LED, and wire management is only 12 printed parts. 4/28/2023: Here is a new interview with Daniel of Crosslink that provides a great overview of the Hero Me platform: 3D Printers & Components Supported by Hero Me Gen7.3.2.
