NOTE: Redesigned filament cutter for Neptune 3 Pro Plus Max coming soon, but this variant is easy to get into :)
As I wanted to venture into building an AMS/MMU of my own, or prepare in anticipation of Klipper AMS systems like BIGTREETECH ViVid to come out, I wanted to see whether there is a way to have the Neptune 3 printers adapted to have a filament cutter without needing to perform tip tuning. After looking at a SEFC from DrawModelPrint, I came up with this. All done in Tinkercad, so I don't have step files. Should be compatible with most Klipper based AMS/MMU systems such as ERCF, TradRack, 3MS, HTLF, BoxTurtle, NightOwl, etc.

For how it would operate visually, DrawModelPrint has a video of his SEFC in action, end result is similar
The author remixed this model.
Combined the reverse bowden mount from Peaceman1995 and SEFC from DrawModelPrint on Thingverse. Modified to have better reliability
