Ender 3 S1 Side Entry Floating Filament Sensor and Feed

prusaprinters

<p>I really disliked the stock filament sensor and top down filament feed. It put strain on the extruder and was just flimsy. The cable mount on the extruder was also causing a lot of stress on the cable.</p> <p>This is a combo of designs that I made and remixed which now works great for my Ikea Lack enclosure.</p> <p>Materials:</p> <ul> <li>2x PC4-M10 pneumatic connectors.</li> <li>PTFE tubing (4mm outer and 2mm inner)1</li> </ul> <p>Only the sheath requires supports and the optimal line width is 0.5mm for most of the files.</p> <p>Depending on your setup the filament sensor housing can be mounted or left flying if you have some stiff PTFE tubing and a enclosure wall to hold it in place.</p> <p>The ribbon clip with no PTFE guide hole was used to manage the ADXL345 ribbon cable I installed past the flying sensor housing along the extruder ribbon.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm layer 0.5mm width</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>100 for everything except the filament sensor can be 15%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> eSun PETG Grey</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printers
