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

They’re Otterly adorable! Magnets in their hands make them posable. #ERCFv3

Otters down. It’s carnage on the build plate! So glad I managed to get object exclusion configured.

No ooze in sight! My #ERCFv3 is starting to work well.

These required all day monitoring to deal with occasional misfeeds and more than a few false alarm filament run out triggers (I need to disassemble my print head to look at why the switch is not detecting the presence of filament during printing), but I ended the day with 3 armadillos! Design by McGybeer. Another successful from my #ERCFv3 #3dprinting

Today I hope to confirm my successful prints were not a one off fluke. Go armadillos! #ERCFv3 #3dprinting

Finally success with the #ERCFv3
A #3dprinted trio of the tiny owls by McGybeer in 4 colours. 199 layers and the first 98 printed without any problems before a colour change was halted due to filament not quite fully unloading and preventing the selector moving. Quickly resolved and a few layers later a filament clog paused the job again. This time the reason was the nozzle had come slightly unscrewed. Once that was cleared up the rest of the print completed with no manual interventions needed!
