Finally found something my Ender 3 can do that my Vorons can't. Print with poor quality filament that is too thick every few meters

Cheap PLA bought years ago, would jam in my Dragon or Rapido. Calipers show it as 1.9mm on occasion. Ender 3 Microswiss all metal hotend runs it like a champ. Glad I put Klipper on the Ender 3 instead of tossing it

Auto-Feeder

I spent the past week design

ing and building an automatic filament feeder from the ground up because I got fed up with feeding 1000mm of filament to the toolhead by hand.

My goal was to create a system that could detect filament, feed it to the toolhead, apply tension when needed, and then release that tension once the filament reached a set distance so it could flow freely. I accomplished this using a servo and a BTT SB2209 RP2040 V1.0 board to control the system. The servo grips and tensions the filament on demand, then automatically releases it at the appropriate point. The same system can also be used in reverse, allowing it to handle both loading and unloading of the filament.

It has been a fun challenge combining mechanical design, electronics, and programming into one working system. There’s still plenty I want to refine, but seeing the mechanism successfully load, feed, release, and unload filament has been incredibly satisfying.

I'm going to run it a lot over the weekend and then I'll upload the design files and a BOM to github if anyone wants to try building one themselves.

EDIT 10/3/2026 - Here is the github repository. It does not yet have a build guide but I made the BOM and included the files: https://github.com/DarkK9Design/fila_feeder

Becoming a Man

The ol' lady got me an LDO 2.4 kit for my Bday! Printing my parts to get started. The Creality K2 Plus has been fun, but it's time for a real printer! Not a fan of Creality's cheap failing parts.

Axiscope on stralthchanger

I’m trying to configure the axiscope on my fredh built stealthchanger.
The V2 was configured before that as a sensorless endswitch andall things went great.
Si the step to stealthchanger with tap was small.
However … when trying to configure axiscope I can’t access the axiscope through a websocket (http://my-printer-ip:3000 with my printer-ip the local ip address of my printer obviously.
The service is running in mainsail, i noticed the new macros, but there is not much happening when I push the macro config-all-offsets.
I get an error evaluating gcode_macro calibrate_move_over_probe object has no attribute gcode_macro _calibration_switch.
I think this has to do with the fact than I’m running TAP which has no Z endswitch but I don’t know how to resolve this.
Can anybody assist or provide example or clear guidelines?
