Filament empty sensor for directextruder Tronxy +others

thingiverse

Now I reached the very best quality with this inexpensive printer (120€ in 2021). After some improvements like taking the stock parts to covert into directextruder. Because of the more weight on the x-Axe now - printhead and extruder with its steppermotor. At first I decided to add a second z-spindle-axe so I reached no bending down on the right side. And from now on the filament comes from above and the movement - right and left - of the printhead brings me the sorrow the filament could break - sometimes its brittle and breakable. In addition I was looking for another location for the runout sensor, I will not miss it. So I construct the sled moving a bit right to left and the sled carries the Sensor with its enclosure. You'll need 3rolls very 3d printer has to mov the axes, you can get some at amazon or you will take older ones. You need the three M5 screws. You also need too M3x25 screws for the cover and the box, and 2 M3 nuts coming from behind in the plate. The in and outlet in the empty box you can use the Capricorn tube connectors or like me: I took 2 old nozzles - in your drilling machine with a file and 2mm drill and with your 90°drill or you take a 5mm drill to bring the small inlet funnel like. I'm sure, this would be the problem also for other brands. Also I'm sure there are some out in the depthspf the internet to need this too - enjoy! perhaps you visit my youtube channel to find diy videos and perhaps you'll improve your german, like I do with english videos. And especially the video how I maked this thing. https://www.youtube.com/c/basteley Thanks - bye-bye from good old Germany Wolfgang Ley - Basteley
