Filament Out Side On Sensor box Button Microswitch

Filament Feeding Through Sides, Sensor Box Button Microswitch It's designed with the filament feeding through from the sides. Bottom fitting of pneumatic passthrough fitting is also included. There's a "Not_10mm_Body_Filament_Out_Side_On_Sensor_box_Button_Microswitch.stl" which doesn't have 10mm Body fitting threads This is used with a microswitch that has a lever arm, and it detects if the Filament has run out or snapped, etc. Filament Out Side On Sensor Box Microswitch Improved https://youtu.be/QyrHoiIPXOU With the previous version of Filament Out Side On Sensor Box Microswitch, it was difficult to re-feed filament. The lid usually needed removing and the filament had to be fed back through the hole in this lid and over the top of the microswitch arm before coming out the other side. With this Improved "Button" Version, there's a button to press that pushes the lever on the microswitch so that the filament can be passed over the top of the microswitch lever arm. I've also added some chamfer to make it easier to feed the filament. This is 3D printed with thin plastic. I consider this as iteration one; improvements may follow. I suggest checking out: Filament Runout Optical Sensor Generic Full Enclosure https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1904488 I'm making an untested version of: Filament Runout Sensors Optical Side on Filament feed. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2575300/ It's for use with Marlin, including: FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR: Note ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE is required in Configuration_adv.h to use M600 with FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR and the connection of the microswitch to the RAMPS 1.4 board. Note: set Unload filament in Marlin etc. to zero; feeding filament backwards into this will cause issues. It has a part 10mm thread for fitting to a Bowden fitting. Both main parts have 2.5mm holes for screwing 3mm bolts into for mounting. There's a Lid with a bit bigger edge so it is easier to grip and open the box for fitting, etc..:-May need filing a bit YouTube Video 3D Printout and test: Testing Filament Run Out begins at : 23:26 Filament Out Side On sensor box https://youtu.be/oJTsy-2uKdE
