Hemera install guide for CR-10S Pro / CR-10 Max

The Hemera (formerly Hermes) is a new all in one extruder/stepper/hot end by E3d. Building on my Ender 3 guide, I’m now fitting this permanently to the CR-10 Max (also compatible with CR-10S Pro).

The Hemera in isolation is a beautifully engineered piece of kit and will thrive on a printer designed for it from the ground up. On this printer, it’s a much better fit, especially when paired with a volcano hot end and large nozzle set.

My mount aims to act as a spacer so that the Hemera bolts into the metal carriage. Two holes need to be drilled using it as a template. This is designed for the volcano hot end, the regular V6 may not reach.

Thanks to all of those in the community who have designed parts for this kit.
