optical filament sensor 3d models

The Filament Sensor I used is the SainSmart Optical Endstop Switch, found at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVOKHPO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. For Pi wiring information, visit...

Clearly, credit for inspiration goes to the Prusa sensor design though i wanted to make the lever ratio a little higher to be less sensitive to tolerances. It uses a pair of 605 (5mmx14mmx5mm) bearings to sense the filament and a spring scavenged...

This sensor mount redesign utilizes the same sensor as the Prusa MK3 due to the ease of acquiring the PCB on Amazon, Aliexpress, etc. The mount employs the identical screws used for securing trapezoidal nuts. You will require an M2 x 8mm screw...

This is a remake of the fantastic runout sensor designed by Bwaslo, with one key modification: I decided to relocate it to the top of my printer's bar instead of hanging it down, which saved valuable build height in the process. ...To achieve this, I...

This is a mounting plate for an optical filament sensor with a dovetail housing like: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3106976 Just slide it over the Z-Rod, replace the four screws holding the threaded sleeve in place and slide a filament sensor in....

Remix of Raptorfx's Simple Optical Filament Runout Sensor with added mount for an Anet A8 5-button printer. It can be mounted between the LCD and top bezel, replacing both white spacers, thus allowing filament to be fed from a spool holder behind the...

This is remix of filament runout sensor for 30x30 aluminum extruded profile. ...Optical sensor is not suitable for transparent filaments, in that case use mechanical sensor (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2348013) (micro-switch) instead.

Very simple but functional concept for all the filaments 1.75mm diameter, using an optical endstop and the gravity force. This system also works with transparent filaments because using a fall knob, Newton doesn't fail. Just insert the filament...

... for 30x30 aluminum extruded profiles. ...Due to limitations with optical sensors on transparent filaments, consider substituting it with a mechanical sensor, such as a micro-switch, found at [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2348013).

Simple yet effective solution for all 1.75mm diameter filaments using an optical endstop and gravity's pull. This system works seamlessly with transparent filaments too, thanks to a clever fall mechanism that defies Newton's laws. To get started,...

This is an IR filament sensor derived from the Prusa MK3S IR Filament Sensor, which relies on a sort of "beam cutter" approach that only catches filament out but ought to be quite reliable:...

This is a specialized modification for Dwmaker (Ultimaker) third-generation extruder compatible break detection. Required materials list (one break detection unit): 1. M3*25 internal hex head screw ...

Optical filament sensor with Teflon tubes to reduce friction. The springs have a diameter of 4 and a length of 25mm, it is important that they have little force to reduce the friction of the filament to the maximum. A 3D model of the assembly is...

... 2020 frame. ...In my case, I've connected it directly to a reliable BondTech extruder via a short length of PTFE tubing on one end, and then the other end of the tubing is connected to carefully guide the filament into the runout sensor housing.

My main design goals: * Limited/affordable BOM * Adjustable tension, one problem with many smart filament sensors is that they put too much drag on the filament, or not enough and they're not able to read any pulses. This sensor has a "lead screw"...

The idea is based on this design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3063430 This how ever is a ground up redesign made to fit the 2040 or 4040 extrusion used in many printers like the ender series.  Hardware:1x M3x25mm bolt,2x M3x12mm bolts,2x...

After seeing the design in http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1646220 i set myself to remix it to add the following Bracket to mount it to my frame Oil can to lubricate filament as it passes through ... Just enable the setting in marlin and connect...

Next up was an oil can designed specifically for lubricating the filament as it passes through various mechanisms. To get everything up and running smoothly, all you need to do is enable the relevant setting in your Marlin software and connect to...

Simply slide the optical sensor inside, and there's a hole for the filament to pass through - but you might need to enlarge it slightly with a drill after printing is complete. For mounting, this device features two bolt holes designed specifically...
