Yes, I have made a custom release handle. You will have to take apart your extruder to put in the custom one. I have the hard part for the handle done though. I am waiting to have the rest of the mod done before I have the top end of the handle complete to adjust the positioning. But essentially there will be a bump stop on the x axis hitting and holding the release handle open while the filament swaps and feeds and the bump stop will be on the right side of x axis while the bump stop for the cutter will be on the left. You can check out my thingiverse account and see the handle I made along with all of my other stuff. www.thingiverse.com/drawmodelprint/designs

@@UdDReX no it's actually not needed at all. I believe they implement the run out inside of a macro to tell the printer to continue when detected. But this is guessing. As I haven't really looked that hard at their setup. You could just get the entire macro and movements down on timing and get the same result. The only difference is filametrix version is sound proof in that it won't have errors and if it does it would stop printing. But I am planning on using a BTT filament sensor that can detect also detect binding among other things so if the filament isn't moving I can also implement this to go into a shutdown mode inside a macro. With that sensor I could put the sensor anywhere. But hopefully when it's done it never gets used because if it is having filament catching and not feeding I did something wrong.

@@DrawModelPrint Are you planning to use this mod with any multi-filament system like Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feed? i would love to see your setup if soo.

@@UdDReX I have another guy helping with the fitment for the taurus 5015 mod and regular bed probe CR touch. I believe he has already built an ERFC he will be using. I am currently waiting on BTT VVD to release before I decide (might get that might go ERFC, or box turtle). I am just waiting for vvd to form an opinion. As it has built in dehumidifier among other abilities they are boasting. They just showed it off at the form next event in Germany and so far, it looks really promising. Also, the pricing for the machine from want has been hinted at by BTT shouldn't be that far off from a lot of the kits you have to build. Which wouldn't be surprising as BTT pricing has always had and still is very competitive pricing for their products.

I will be making a 5015 version.

@@brandonbumb5455 not yet I will be testing in the next couple months. I was debating on what system to go with. In my research I believe BTT is dropping an AMS device here soon called the VVD. At least I hope that's what it is as they have been secretive about it. I wasn't really enthusiastic about the erfc or the triangle labs version. I'm hoping the BTT blows my socks off. I know that my part is going to take a lot of tinkering to get right. So I really want a device I don't have to worry about as much to make testing easier on me. My fall semester in college is coming to an end also and should give me a lot of time when my semester is over.

@@DrawModelPrint thank you for the quick response. indeed the ercf looks like a project that isn't that easy, gl for your semester!

?

But yeah i'm happy to test it out if you like. looks good for the task it was designed to do for sure, just wondering what the advantage or purpose of it is in the ERCR system. throw the STL up somewhere and i'll give it a crack :)

I'll be releasing it by this weekend and adding in variations over the next week.

Awesome, thanks

I was thinking this also, but after going over the voron filament cutter and the one for Bambu printers, both of these companies use a chisel type blade at a 90. I could possibly be wrong, but that's what their schematics show. Also, I used to go by this rule myself, but after some time with my printer, I noticed it doesn't care as long as it's a clean end. If this does cause problems, I will redesign, but I'm trying to avoid this as it will add more weight and make to the overall design more bulkier.

90deg here, you don't want the gears only catching part of the tip and slipping when reloading

@@Milkex Wasn't even thinking about that. That is a good point, my entire thought process was if the top brands in the printing industry are doing it this way why reinvent the wheel. Both of these brands have probably put a lot more testing into the idea than I ever will.

@@DrawModelPrint yeah 90' is good for hand feeding into things just so it does not get caught on things but you want the two filaments being pushed together to be flat to make it as straight and smooth as possible.

@@DrGeta666 The reason I dont see this as a problem is because the extruder will be extruded and then the gears will be released when the filament is being fed at the same then extruded to prime the nozzle. I've cut filament every which way to see if it would cause problems for the sprite but it never has as long as you can get the filament in the teeth of the extruder that thing will push it through. I did some hand testing with bowden tubes to simulate filament feeding from the ERCF with a macro I have setup and it feeds fine. Now if I run into problems with the ERCF thats another issue that will be handle when I get to it. No point in climbing a hill when its not right in front of you yet.
