Filament FAULT sensor - REMIX - Tangle and/or Runout

thingiverse

This is an enhanced version of the Filament Fault detector by re-NABLE. The original design has some minor flaws that needed to be addressed. re-NABLE's design is solid, but I encountered a few issues: 1) Integrating it into my heated dry box was a challenge due to the spool holders' compatibility with the re-NABLE bracket. A different approach was required. 2) The filament would bind through the lever, causing friction issues. Adding PTFE tubing helped reduce this problem. 3) My existing roller micro switches didn't fit within the re-NABLE enclosure, so a modification was necessary. 4) There wasn't sufficient documentation or a parts list in the re-NABLE build files. While remodeling the components, I noticed that using a roller switch made the sensor function only as a Tangle Sensor. Since I already have a filament run-out sensor near my Bowden extruder, this limitation wasn't an issue for me. Detailed documentation is now included in the Thing Files for future reference and to help others who may encounter similar challenges.
