We are Australian Distributors of the infamous E3D V6 high performance full metal Hot Ends.
Introducing Hemera (Formerly known as Hermes),the next generation high performance dual drive extrusion system from e3D avaialble in both direct and bowden
The dual-drive extrusion system provides exceptional pushing force complete with a fully hardened stainless steel drive train and optimised heatsink design. The Hemera excels in printing regular and flexible materials with precision and control and is even capable of printing flexible filaments at PLA speeds.
The Hemera is compatible with both bowden and direct drive extrusion systems and can be used with the E3d Ecosystem of V6, nozzle X, Volcano and SuperVolcano hotends.
The Hemera is currently available for 1.75mm filament systems. It can be purchased as a bowden drive setup which includes a bowden adaptor, or as a direct drive extrusion system which includes a heat sink and fan, hemera heatbreak, as well as a ed3 V6 hotend in either 12V of 24V configuration.
Dual Drive
Hemera is a dual-drive system with a hardened stainless steel drive train. Individually CNC cutting each hobb allows for a round-bottomed root, with a tooth that curves upwards to a robust, sharp tip. The round bottom of the profile strongly resists filament debris wedging into the drive gear and in almost all cases it’s self-cleaning as any debris simply falls off the teeth.
Compact
Hemera uses a custom motor based off a NEMA17 frame, modified with our endcap designs. This allows the motor itself to be part of the assembly, incorporating features such as bearing pockets and mounting points. Ultimately creating a smaller, more compact system with a lower overall part count.
There are 4 T-slots on each side of the motor leaving endless mounting opportunities. Utilise one side for mounting to the printer and the other side for sensors, probes and part-cooling fans.
Filament constraint
Along with a very short filament path from hobb to meltzone, the filament is tightly constrained. As a result of closely tolerancing all the components, we are also able to achieve a clearance gap between filament drive wheels and heatbreak of only 100um.
This means that flexible filaments such as TPU’s can be printed on Hermes with similar print speeds to PLA. To put it simply, we’ve made printing with flexibles easy!
Improved airflow
An optimised heatsink ensures airflow is diverted up and away from both the HotEnd and the heated bed. This reduces the risk of warping and uneven stresses forming in the printed part; optimised airflow also means we can supply a quieter fan.
Direct or Bowden
Hemera is interchangeable between Direct and Bowden variants. To create a bowden Hermes, simply remove the hotside and fan, then insert the Hermes bowden adaptor.

Fired it up and decided to quickly print a benchy.
Wow! I couldn't stop checking it out. It only took 13 minutes and it is the best benchy I have ever printed. I have 5 Printers, including a Creality K1 Max and none of them came close to this one.
Since then it has been working its butt off and I am super impressed. I thought the K1 Max was unbeatable for the price but this is much better and less expensive.
Its print head heat range and chamber warming means you can print many different filaments making it much more versatile than most of its competitors and the ability to print multiple colours is coming in early 2025, meaning it will more than favourably compete with both the Creality K2 and the Bambu range, especially pricewise.
Really easy to set up and really easy to use. I recommend it whether you're a novice or running a print farm. You will definitely not be sorry you purchased this unit.
This product worked fine so far. it's not what I was supposed to get as I wanted PLA-CF. My only issue is the cardboard spools. I managed to get by by not using the AMS.
I love it, the 5M pro, super easy to setup and use with default settings which allows you heaps of time to learn and adjust the device settings to maximise its output quality with out the frustraion of failed prints.
