Hero Me Gen4 Base for Micro Swiss Direct Drive (tweaked)

thingiverse

This is the Hero Me Gen4 base for the Micro Swiss direct drive extruder, as modded by Marcelofs13, with one key adjustment made. The location of a critical screw has been shifted to prevent sagging on the right side of the base due to high temperatures - and that's all there is to it. The Hero Me Gen5 system still lacks support for Micro Swiss extruders, so I'm opting to stick with this version for now. All other components (ducts, brackets) come directly from the original Gen4 setup. In addition to standard hardware, you'll need two M3 screws measuring 8-10 mm in length. Insert them as shown in the accompanying image. Don't be afraid to tap the holes or apply a bit of force to get them in place - it's the usual procedure. Resist the urge to screw them all the way in until the base is securely fastened onto the extruder plate. Once that's done, they'll provide support from behind, with one end resting at an angle on the plate to prevent any sagging.
