UPDATED 5-26-2023: Updated the attached PDF with all the latest details on hotend support. Also added information regarding intergrated extruder/hotend combos.
The following hotends are NOT supported by the Hero Me Gen7:
The following Integrated extruder/hotends are not compatible with the current Hero Me Gen7 design architecture.
Those listed above are all too large and too wide to fit into a Hero Me Base. In regards to the integrated extruders, I will be developing specific solutions based upon the Hero Me part cooling ducts with ABL/ADXL345 mounts for as many of these integrated extruder/hotends as is possible. ETA sometime in the Summer of 2023.
While the Hero Me Gen7 supports the new Creality 'Neo' family of 3D printers (Ender 3 Neo, Ender 3 V2 Neo, and the Ender 3 Max Neo), the stock hotend used in the 'Neo' family of 3D printers is not supported.
This hotend, along with the others shown above, are the few hotends that the Hero Me system can not support. The maximum width for hotends that will fit in the Hero Me Gen7 Base is 26.8mm wide. The hotends shown range from 29mm-38mm wide. The Creality 'Neo' hotend is currently only found in the three Creality Ender 3 based 'Neo' models.
If you have a 3D printer that has one of these hotends and you want to upgrade your printer to take advantage of the Hero Me system, replace the hotend with one from any of the fully compatible hotends listed below.
Over 46 hotend models are supported by the Hero Me Gen7:
