the force required to insert filaments through the sidemounted filament sensor didnt agree with me so i reduced the spring compression by 1mm. reducing it more will become problematic for the center filament.
integrated filament numbers and cleaned the model a bit while i was at it and made it a bit easier to assemble.
when assembling make sure the ball returns reliably (less spring preload = less force = higher risk of something getting stuck), the spring is properly seated and doesnt catch on some edge, etc.
you might need to manually clean the chambers a little with a 3mm drillbit, the geometry isnt optimal for printing and there always is a seam somewhere.
dont forget to re-calibrate the sensors.
step assembly, 3mf print project and gcode attached, pick your posion.
I hate working on 3mf/stl files.
