Hero Me part cooling system - Modular, capable and super compatible
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: @ttracingYT
Previously, I had invested quite a bit of time and effort into modifying a Creality Ender 5 to have an enclosed and actively heated chamber. The addition of the Bambu Lab X1C to my studio has made the Ender 5 redundant, however, so in this video I remove all of the heated enclosure parts, and fit the Hero Me gen 7 part cooling system.
If it feels like at some times I’m being vague, that’s on purpose. The documentation is thorough but not free, so I had to make sure not to make it redundant. I’d recommend anyone undertaking this upgrade, to pay for the detailed PDF guide at a minimum.
