Now I have confirmed my design works in operation, I have published my custom mounting bracket design which I needed to enable the ERCT filament buffer to work with the #ERCFv3 #3dprinting #ercf

Took some investigation, but I have solved the binding problem of the linear rods/bearings which the selector runs along. Took out the rods to check for straightness. Rolling them on a marble slab confirms a subtle bend in both of them. But by marking the face on the inside of this curvature on both rods I was able to reinsert them so they both curve in the same plane, and now the selector does not bind at points along the axis. #ERCF

I think the ERCFv3 is now functionally complete! This rebuild only drew blood 3 times. Calibration next. #ERCFv3 #Voron #3dprinting #ERCF

Some minor modifications and I have my Siboor ERCFv2 kit LED pcb working in the ERCFv3. I think I have solved the ERCT filament buffer mounting too. Just some wiring modifications to finish and I can do the final assembly. #ERCFv3 #ERCF #3dprinting

Now the ERCFv2 is in pieces, assembly of the ERCFv3 can commence. Most of the components apart from the 3D printed parts will be reused in this upgrade. #ERCF #ERCFv3 #3dprinting

Attempting to make nice labels for my ERCFv3 with my ERCFv2 before I start the conversion. #ERCF #3dprinting

Printing a quite-full 500x500mm build plate full of ABS parts that are prone to warping and peeling off, plus a bunch of them are very small, what could possibly go wrong? #3DPrinting #ERCF

There are some unlikely filament pairings that will make your life much easier if you use them right. Here's what I found works for easily peelable support material and for permanent bonds!

The next challenge is the software set up. This seems very poorly documented compared to the build guide. I may have to get involved in helping improve that. I have not found anywhere that mentioned you need to build and flash firmware to the board. I guessed this was needed from having run into this headache on my Voron 0.2 build. Found the manual for the BTT MMB board online which details how to do this, but no mention this was needed in the kit or ERCF documentation. #ERCF #Voron #3Dprinting

The LEDs provided in the Siboor ERCFv2 kit have had me stumped for a while, but no more. The kit came with 3 LED chains but only one socket to plug them into. They need to be chained to all work so with some soldering on of extra wires I have built a Franken lead to run them all off the one socket. #3dprinting #ercf

But that means I've got more time to work on my #ercf again! After replacing the cheap underpowered piece of garbage called MG90S servo with a 25€ servo, it works better and better!

#3dprinting

While still in progress with my #ercf, I'm going to build an #lhstinger! After seeing it live at the #MakerFaireHannover and the kit being on sale right now, I can't resist having a *fast* and supposedly reliable and accurate printer! I'd also happily sell my #ArtilleryGenius, but I bet nobody would buy it for what I would expect for it.

#3dprinting

Excitement is down... From my 7 supposedly working gates, all but one don't let filament through (the traps seem to be fcked up). And the encoder also doesn't let filament through. Yay! But those are problems for a future me as I won't be home for 3 days

#ercf #3dprinting

My #ercf didn't explode on first power up and movements! This is exciting!

Now waiting for a Bowden coupler to finish

#3dprinting

Also runs smoothly after increasing the stepper currents by 0.2 amps (from stock 0.5) 🙈

Started the next round of "starting to stretch my luck" #ercf

#3dprinting

Omg! This is soo cute! #ercf

#3dprinting

Odds of this print going well? It's supposed to take 6 hours. Abs, enclosure and gluestick will hopefully lead to success. #ercf #3dprinting

My poor #Neptune4 is chugging along, one print after another, all for the goal of having the #ercf working! Still quite some parts and hours (more like days) of printing to go, as having only 1 abs-capable printer with a relatively small build plate takes some time.

As I'm building my #ercf, I don't know which color should be the main and with the accent one. Please help me decide!

Poll is in reply.

ERCF progress. Almost fully assembled now. Just wiring and LED mounting to do and I can start working on the software configuration. #Voron #ERCF

I've got myself a #ercf kit for my #3dprinter 🙈. It's the one from #trianglelabs. We'll see how it'll work out for my #neptune4. Or my Artillery Genius? Maybe even portable? See you in 2 weeks after holiday.

I got it today, as the kit was only 114€ for 9 colors.

Anyone out there have a #ercf v2 build going or done?

Looking for your thoughts on it so far, I’m thinking I’m going to start one up.
