octoprint filament sensor 3d models

I wanted to create a filament guide that was also useful for the endstop sensor, without having to disassemble the extruder or Z-axis for those who, like me, want to add this option to their CR-10.

Make your own cheap filament runout sensor using a simple Limit Switch with a roller and a bit of PTFE tube.The PTFE tube will need a deep cut as shown in the pictures.

Simple filament runout sensor from generic optical endstop Print with supports BOM: - Optical endstop switch - Two M3 threaded inserts - Two M3 screws with washers - Two parts of PTFE-tube Fusion 360 file included.

... V3 - I widened the hole for the filament so PTFE tube can be put before and after the sensor. I noticed that it was rubbing on the plastic in areas which could cause snags. ...using the PTFE tubing ensures that the filament moves smoothly.

Some of the other filament sensors weren't working great for me so I made this one. ...&nbsp;Space to fit some PTFE in each end to prevent the PLA from eating away at the print.&nbsp;</p>

I remixed this adapter to clamp onto the Filament Runout sensor and added some height, so it would rest on the extruder. ... I printed this out of PETG but I think PLA would work fine for this application as well.

Print a new back to the Smart Filament Sensor to provide the ability to mount to your printer. ... I mounted this on the extruder motor mount on my ender 5 after changing it to a direct-drive extruder.

Some of the other filament sensors weren't working great for me so I made this one. ... Space to fit some PTFE in each end to prevent the PLA from eating away at the print.

This modification for the Ender 3 allows you to position the optical sensor that detects the end of the filament in the right direction. ...Tested and it works perfectly.

Minimalist filament sensor, effortless to manufacture. No additional support needed. ... Lever Micro Switch: Purchase on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GL66KGH/?tag=amazon-20 Firmware configuration and motherboard connection instructions...

This roller prevents the filament from eating into the sensor housing. ... Unfortunately, the Chiron does not have such a thing out of the box :) Nothing needs to be drilled.

**Update 25-08: After using this for a while, i learned using a filament sensor as shown in the photo is NOT a good idea, the curve of the filament is to sharp and might break. I checked the "work-in-progress" with this thing since I do plan to remix...

I replaced the original text to make it sound like a rewritten version: I refurbished the filament sensor of the U20 because the original switch is made of plastic and wears out as the wire passes through.

modeled up this riser for the filament runout sensor on the ender 3 max neo for the big tree tech dual gear extruder... ...:note need a longer d shaft extruder stepper for these modifications

This is a case for making your own Filament Runout Sensor out of these switches: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B076J2NX5B/ The output is made to be connected directly to a standard PTFE tube.

To enable the Filament Runout Sensor in Marlin, define and uncomment this line by changing #define FIL_RUNOUT_INVERTING to true in Configuration.h: #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR #if ENABLED(FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR) #define NUM_RUNOUT_SENSORS 1 //...

I remixed a filament sensor guide to hold a cheap endstop switch style runout sensor &nbsp;purchased on Amazon on the cheap. ...Uses 1 M4x8 screw with T-nut to mount to top of extrusion and 2 M3x25 SHCS with nuts to bolt through this switch.&nbsp;Link...

To enable the Filament Runout Sensor in marlin you need to define and comment this line changing #define FIL_RUNOUT_INVERTING to true in Configuration.h #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR #if ENABLED(FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR) #define NUM_RUNOUT_SENSORS 1...

Stig_ designed a great housing for a filament run-out sensor (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2443425). My only issue was with the LED light that would shine when filament is in the sensor. So I have filled the unused/light-emitting holes and...

V4 Filament Width Sensor. This version was developed due to the unavailability/Obsolete sensor part TSL1401CL which has doubled in price and has become very hard to get. The TSL1401-R is widely available and its price is very reasonable. The...

This is a more ridgit filament sensor holder for the Anycubic Vyper. There are 2 versions. The one without the gap it a simple replacement for the stock holder. The second one has a gap in the back part that allows you to add the Vyper Hotend...

This part utilizes the N-series endstop to create a sensor that detects when filament has run out. To assemble this, you will need: 1 or 2 of the Raise3D endstops depending on how many sensors you want to build. You can find these endstops at:...

I liked that idea and i designed an articulated bracket that allow mounting the runout filament sensor on top of the printer, aligned with the filament spool and, hopefuly, not interfering with the extruder for prints up to 200mm tall (higher than...

Hello !\nThis is my first version of the filament sensor, and I'm using those affordable infrared sensors from eBay.\nThe housing is simply a casing that goes around the sensor, allowing you to pass the filament through it. ...You can also add a section...

Optical Filament Runout Sensor that works, thoroughly tested, including for Bowden setup. It won't function on transparent filaments. Purchase the Optical Endstop shown in the photo. Remove the black cover and insert the Optical Endstop into the...

You don't have to pull a lever to load or unload when the printer detects a filament runout, and it can also push back the filament through this sensor during unloading. There are two versions: ball type and flat type. If you have an 8mm metal ball...

*Update* Added an updated sensor holder with a 6mm offset to bring the filament away from the Z-screw. Sick and tired of the default filament run out sensor on the CR10S printers? Me too. So, I spent most of a Friday brainstorming and designing...
