Hemera Creality CR-10S Pro

Mounting Base

Capacitive or BLTouch sensor mount

Locate the two screws holding the X-axis belt idler in place

Undo both screws slightly until the T-nut becomes a bit loose

Wiggle the idler until the T-nuts slide out and remove the idler

At the back of the hotend carriage, locate the X-Axis belt ends which are secured in slots

Pull both ends of the belt outwards

Locate the two screws in front holding the hotend cover in place

Remove both screws

Gently move the hotend cover aside taking care as the fan wires will be attached

Loosen the two grub screws holding the bed leveling sensor in place

Gently pull the sensor upwards out of the bracket

Undo the two screws holding the hotend in place

Move the whole wire assembly to the side for the time being

Using a pair of pliers, hold the locknut at the back of the bottom roller on the carriage

Using an allen key, undo the screw from the front of the carriage holding the roller in place.

Take off the carriage

Undo the two screws holding the bed sensor bracket in place

Disassemble the two remaining rollers using a pair of pliers for the locknuts and an allen key for the screws

The carriage mount should now be completely bare

Take the 3D printer mount and poke holes through the three mount holes for the Hermes

Align the 3D printed mount with the carriage as shown in the photo

Reassemble the two top rollers

The screw goes in from the front

First insert the sleeve on the back, then the roller and finally the locknut

Place the eccentric nut into the bottom roller's hole. Take note of the rotation of the nut, having the thinner side of the wall to the bottom of the carriage

Mount the carriage on top of the X-Axis rails

Insert the screw with the roller through the eccentric nut and tighten from the front using the locknut

Once the carriage is back in place, use a pair of pliers to slowly turn the eccentric nut until there is no wobble left in the carriage

Insert two M3 square nuts into the side slots on the left of the 3d printed mount

Push them all the way in to align them with the holes

Both the Capacitive sensor and the BLtouch can be secured using 2 M3x5 screws (Same ones that were used to hold the hotend cover in place) against the two M3 square nuts inserted in the previous step

Insert an M3 square nut into the sensor mount as shown

Using an M3x12 screw, screw it enough until it goes into the square nut, no need to tighten it yet

Take a pair of side cutters and cut all the zip ties securing the wire harness

Using a blade or some scissors, cut the heat wrap around the hotend and remove it

using an allen key, untighten the grub screw holding the heater cartridge in place

Take out the heater cartridge

Using a phillips screw driver, undo the screw holding the thermistor in place

Take out the thermistor and put the hotend aside

Remove the blower fan from the hotend cover by undoing the two screws holding it in place

Remove the hotend fan by removing the 4 screws holding it in place

With a pair of side cutters or blade, cut the insulating tape around the heater cartridge and thermistor wires

Insert the heater cartridge into the Hermes heatblock and tighten it with the supplied screw in the kit

Use the original E3D thermistor supplied in the kit and secure that in place as well using the grub screw supplied in the Hermes kit. Connect the red and black extension cable to the thermistor wire

Insert 2 M3 square nuts in the back slots of the Hermes as shown

Align the Hermes extruder with the mount

The printed mount has an inlet slot where the thermistor connector for the extension cable sits neatly inside. make sure this is set in place

Using 3 M3x10 screws, secure the Hermes extruder to the back of the printing mounting plate.

Insert the Probe into its mounting bracket and gently tighten the screw to hold it in place

The exact height of the probe should be adjusted once the whole assembly is complete as per manufacturer's instructions

Insert an M3 square nut in the bottom right hand slot on the front of the Hermes

Secure the blower fan by using the same two screws that it was mounted with before

Plug in the extruder cable provided in the Hermes kit with the white connector side going into the stepper motor

Remove the 3 screws holding the cover to the connector breakout board

Remove the 2 screws holding the breakout board in place

Unclip the hotend fan connector (marked FAN)

Unclip the thermistor connector (Marked TH1)

Unclip the stepper motor cable (Marked E0)

Pull the fan and thermistor cables out of the sleeve

Compress the cabling sleeve by pushing both ends towards each other in order to widen the sleeve

Insert the Stepper motor cable, the hotend fan cable and the thermistor cable through the sleeve

Connect the fan cable in the FAN slot with the polarity as shown

Connect the thermistor cable in the TH1 slot (polarity does not matter)

Connect the stepper motor cable in the E0 slot with the polarity as shown

Secure the breakout board as was initially with the two screws

Remove the screw holding the stepper motor idler in place

Remove the rest of the screws holding the stepper motor in place

Once the stepper motor is removed, re-attach the part with the pneumatic coupler in place using the same screws and x2 M3 locknuts

Secure the wiring along with the sleeve on the Hermes mount with a couple of zip-ties

Move the hermes all the way to the opposite end of the breakout board and stretch the sleeve along the wires to make sure you have enough slack

Secure the other end of the sleeve with a couple of zip-ties on the gantry mount next to the breakout board

Put the breakout board cover back using the same three screws

Carefully collect all the extra cabling and roll it neatly making sure nothing unplugs from the breakout board

Use a zip-tie to hold it in place

Move the Hermes back to the middle of the X-Axis

Re-insert both ends of the X-axis belt into their slots on the carriage

Locate the idler and isert the bearing part into the belt at the end of the X-axis rail

Pull the idler in order to create tension on the belt

Secure the idler into the x-axis rail with the screws and T-nuts

Insert the original Capricorn PTFE tube into the coupler where the original extruder was

Insert the other end into the Hermes inlet

Now you can retain the use of the filament sensor

Insert the printed part cooling fan duct into the blower

The ridges on the fan duct will align with the blower fan. glue in place using some super glue or hot glue
