This mod adds pregate sensors to the ERCF V2 that are incorporated right into the filament path parts.
There are also nifty little mounts to hold an XH 2 pin board connector below the gate to help aid in quick removal of the filament path if maintenance is needed.
There are 4 parts involved with this mod and each need to be printed for each gate. I recommend daisy chaining the GND connector between each XH under the ERCF to save space for the number of wires run in the channel. This uses a lever switch, similar to my G2E toolhead switch mod: https://github.com/juliusjj25/G2E-Filametrix-Lever-Switch-Mod Reasons for this over the "standard" bearing + switch are documented there. Trust me, it's better!

All parts are oriented as they should be printed and supports are built into the parts where needed.
This was tested with a 5 gate ERCF, fitting more wires in the channel than that may not be possible, YMMV.
