Made with Layers (Thomas Sanladerer) | How to upgrade the Anet A8 to E3D Hemera and Marlin 2.0! #FormerlyKnownAsHermes @MadeWithLayers | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
The E3D Hemera (formerly known as Hermes) is a great extruder + hotend combo at a very reasonable price - so why not put one on the Anet A8? It's a super straightforward upgrade and you get to upgrade to Marlin 2.0 in the process, too!
