Clog Detector V2

thingiverse

This is version 2 of a small device designed to detect if your 3D printer nozzle clogs during operation. The building process has become significantly easier thanks to its PCB-based design, eliminating the need for cumbersome wires. This updated version also features an innovative communication function that enables seamless interaction with your printer. With this feature, you can automatically pause or cancel a print in real-time if a clog occurs, saving valuable time and reducing frustration when printing large parts. To ensure optimal performance, I attached it to the top of my extruder using double-side tape and connected it directly to the 12 V DC rail of the hotend fan. For added durability, I printed mine in ABS plastic, which helps prevent deformation due to heat, especially since my Prusa is an enclosed printer.
