I am implementing an ERCF on my V-Core 3, after feeling that the Hall sensor was not very reliable, I decided to go ahead with the well-known micro switch approach.

As I only had 6mm steel ball with me, I had to design the module compatible with 6mm spheres.

Required material:

  • 1x OMRON D2F-5 microswitch
  • 1x 6mm steel ball
  • 1x 4pin JST XH 2.54 Plug (male and female)
  • 7x M3x12 (since the plate is taller)
  • 1x 15mm PTFE tube (from plate to the extruder)
  • 1xCustom lenght* PTFE tube (from the plate to the hotend)

This piece is a remix of the EVA 3 plate for orbiter 1.5, but I got inspiration from the following projects:

*Note: Only 1mm of PTFE tube can come out of the front_universal_fi part of the EVA3 system
