In addition, the price is significantly lower. Because some of the things I criticized about the Hemera, like the heatbrake, have been improved on the Matrix. Except for minor improvements, the Matrix is more than just inspired by the Hemera. Otherwise, I have to say that the things I wrote about the Hemera, such as the rather high weight, still apply to the Matrix. What e3d thought of the screws is still a mystery to me. The probability of destroying the fasteners is much lower. This is attached to the Matrix with standard M3 screws instead of chipboard screws as in the Hemera. Whereas I have the feeling that the fasteners on the matrix are somewhat more stable.įrom my point of view, the mounting of the lateral 4010 fan has been optimized. a cooler to the hotend is concerned, on the other hand, the attachment points are still quite delicate so that you have to be careful with the screw length not to destroy the mounts on the motor. On the one hand, it is nice that you are quite universal with the help of the motor mounts as far as the attachment to the printer and e.g. The type of mounting that I criticized and praised on the Hemera also remains on the Matrix. Is therefore an upgrade what I also for users of a standard V6 Hotends highly recommend. This alone contributes to a more consistent heat output due to the higher heat storage capacity. In addition, the Matrix is equipped with a Nickelplated-Copper-Heatblock instead of the simple aluminum heat block as well as a Plated-Copper-Nozzle contribution. The advantage of the titanium heatbrake, the better interruption of the heat transfer from heatblock to coldend, still remains. With other filament or comparable speeds with a 0.6 Nozzel, it would certainly look different. Whereas I tested the Matrix with up to 140mm/s at 5000mm/s² acceleration and had no problems at all, at least with the tested PLA. Of course, the criticism remains that you will have a problem for significantly higher filament throughput at very high speeds or large nozzle diameters. A titanium heatbrake is installed in the Matrix as standard. One of my biggest criticisms of the Hemera was the steel heatbrake, which is no longer available on the Matrix. G-R-E-A-T! Except for the weight, Trianglelab has improved a few things about the Hemera and at a much lower price. After I had owned the Matrix Extruder myself for a few weeks now and would like to share my opinion of this extruder with you here shortly. In a nutshell, the significant difference in tooth definition and profile results in grinding filament and unreliable performance long term.As mentioned in my post about the e3d Hemera, there is an extruder from Trianglelabs that is at least so similar to the Herema that I called it a clone in the other post. Pinching the filament from both sides for a uniform grip, they handle everything you can throw at it, from soft flexible filaments to abrasive materials.īondtech even published an article recently, comparing China’s attempt to clone their gears versus the genuine version. Every tooth and every groove has been carefully crafted to achieve maximum pushing force with no filament degradation. These might not look like much at first glance, but they are precision CNC machined to the highest standards. It’s a compact, lightweight and high performance design that’s built with one purpose in mind, pushing filament.Īt it’s core, we find two hardened steel drive gears. Bondtech has pioneered the dual drive extruder market for years, and the BMG extruder is the pinnacle of their success.
