3Dator filament runout sensor

thingiverse

This filament sensor is specifically designed to be printed in a single part, compatible with one of the makerbot style endstops. It effectively detects when filament runs out during printing.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-oLVpIYh2k\r\n\r\nPosition this mounting right before the extruder so the extruder can easily unload filament once it is empty.\r\n\r\nWe developed this sensor for our 3Dator 3D printer kit and also implemented the firmware to support it. Filament switch functionality is also supported in newer Marlin versions.\r\n\r\nTo mount the housing, we use two 16 mm M3 screws and two 8 mm M3 screws.\r\n\r\nYou can find a step file on Github: https://github.com/3Dator/3dator_mods/tree/master/filament_switch\r\n\r\nIf you prefer not to purchase parts separately, we offer a complete package available on our web store:\r\nhttps://3dator.com/en/shop/filament-sensor/ (ships worldwide)\r\nAdditionally, you can acquire the Endstop here and print the case yourself:\r\nhttp://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/Yvrjiei
