Attached PDF contains detailed instructions on how to integrate a Filament Runout Sensor into Marlin Firmware in an Anet A8 printer. Special thanks to Caverntwo on YouTube, whose video inspired this documentation and provided valuable insights for configuring the Anet A8 with Marlin. Watching his video is highly recommended as it will serve as a comprehensive guide. You can find his video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdETssS-ods&t=1s. Additional documentation has been created to support a 3-wire version with an LED indicator, which can be used on RAMPS-style boards. This documentation also includes basic Klipper Firmware instructions that can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3918853. My sensor remix (link below) can be integrated into OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi. For configuration assistance, follow Chris's Basement YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChjwIGxnivw&t=71s. Note that this document can be applied to any 3D printer running Marlin Firmware. However, you will need to adjust the PIN settings according to your printer's main board specifications. First, print the necessary pintables: - Filament Runout Sensor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3142660 - Filament Tangle Sensor/Runout Sensor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3143980
