Bear extruder and X axis (BearExxa) 1.0.0 release
🕑 Added 2020-05-24 15:19:20 +0000 UTCHi everyone, as you might have already seen the Bear extruder and X axis 1.0.0 have been release! To reduce the long "Bear extruder and X axis" name I have now set a shorter nickname called BearExxa.
Full release note: https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis/releases/tag/1.0.0
Main page: https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis/blob/master/README.md
What's new ?
- Now compatible with E3D Hemera (BearMera)
- Tighter PINDA mount
- Self centering of X motor mount
- X carriage reinforced
- Cable guide back for extruder wires is now compatible with 2.85mm nylon filaments for the cable guide
- Documentation has been improved to make things easier and cleaner to navigate and find information
- Other smaller improvements
- Bear calibration firmware is now in version 3.9.0 (based on latest Prusa firmware 3.9.0)
What's new for Hemera since last Patreon-only release?
The part pinda_mount.stl has been beefed up a little bit, not necessary to update.

Parts that needs to be replaced since release 0.7.0-beta
Here is a list of what you should replace or not from Bear extruder and X axis 0.7.0-beta:
- Want to use the E3D Hemera extruder -> replace all parts
- Your PINDA mount is getting loose -> replace extruder_body and extruder_cover
- Your X carriage has some cracks around square nuts -> replace x_carriage and x_carriage_back

Yes I will improve the nozzle fan duct after the launch of BearExxa V2. Unfortunately I am not planning to do more with Hemera because the priority will be the Y linear rail after that. Maybe after the rail...

Great work Grégoire! I have a revo hemera, are you planning to update the nozzle fan duct for a better fit? Thanks for sharing your work!

Lecktor is selling printed parts and kit.

Does anyone sell a kit excluding printed parts for the hardware to upgrade from mk3s?
