prusaprinters

<p>Attached PDF contains full documentation on how to integrate a Filament Runout Sensor in Marlin FW in an Anet A8 printer.</p> <p>Special thanks to Caverntwo on YouTube who is the inspiration for this documentation and the Anet A8 with Marlin configuration. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdETssS-ods&amp;t=1s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdETssS-ods&amp;t=1s</a> I started with his video and expanded on it based on how I wired it to my Anet A8. I highly recommend you watch his video and use this as a companion.</p> <p>Additional documentation has been created to support a 3-wire version with a LED indicator, which can be used on a RAMPS style board. This documentation includes basic Klipper FW instructions: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3918853">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3918853</a></p> <p>My sensor remix (thing link below) can be used in OctoPrint on a Raspberry PI. Follow Chris’s Basement YouTube video for how to configure: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChjwIGxnivw&amp;t=71s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChjwIGxnivw&amp;t=71s</a></p> <p>Note: This document can be applied to any 3D Printer running any controller with Marlin FW. You will have to adjust the PINS according to your printer’s main board.</p> <p>First, start by printing the needed pintables:</p> <ul> <li>Filament Runout Sensor: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3142660">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3142660</a></li> <li>Filament Tangle Sensor/Runout Sensor: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3143980">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3143980</a></li> </ul> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
