This DIY project is a straightforward and uncomplicated filament sensor holder tailored specifically for use with Bowden setups. The design's simplicity lends itself to quick assembly, making it an ideal solution for those in need of a reliable and easy-to-build filament detection system. To begin, you will require the following components: * A 3D printed frame, created using an SLA or FFF printer * A small LED light * A photoresistor or photodiode * Jumper wires * Hot glue Once you have all the necessary parts, it's time to start building. Begin by attaching the LED light and photoresistor to the 3D printed frame using hot glue. Make sure they are securely fastened in place. Next, connect the jumper wires to the LED light and photoresistor. The LED should be connected to a power source, while the photoresistor will need to be connected to an Arduino or other microcontroller board. With the circuit complete, it's time to move on to the final assembly step. Attach the 3D printed frame to your Bowden setup using hot glue. Ensure that the filament sensor is positioned correctly and securely attached. Upon completion of these steps, you should have a fully functional filament sensor holder for your Bowden setup. This project provides a cost-effective and easy-to-build solution for detecting filament levels, allowing you to maintain optimal performance in your 3D printing operations.
