#ercfv3 — Public Fediverse posts

Success! Hard won over 29 hours with my #ERCFv3 on my #Voron Trident AWD 350.
No false filament runouts triggered, so my redesign of the hot-end switch is working. Just a few clogs, the usual filament unload fails and a blocked nozzle which I dealt with by just putting a new nozzle on. Amazed I saved this after so long on the print bed.

I think my new hot-end rebuild has passed the test. Really happy with this result. #3dprinting #voron #ERCFv3

It's a good job I am doing this for a hobby. If I charged myself my hourly wage for building my #Voron Trident and #ERCFv3 auto filament changer and getting it working (mostly) then it would have cost me around £30,000 to date. #3dprinting

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

After much problem solving I have completed a 4 colour print on the #ERCFv3 with just a single wrong colour (green layer on the blue X). I think that was me manually selecting the wrong gate when the printer paused due to a filament unload not fully completing. But no clogs (a first for a long print on this MMU), no filament tangles and no incorrectly selected colours where the printer continued without realising there was a problem.

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
