thingiverse

This is the OpenSCAD code used to make a clip for holding the filament runout sensor from eBay. Rev2: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4318121 - This version mounts to the extruder motor instead. --------------------- # Configuration that worked for me in doing filament change in OctoPrint https://www.reddit.com/r/wanhaoi3/comments/gi7tqy/configuration_that_worked_for_me_in_doing/ ## Requirements: * ADVi3pp installed to touchscreen and Marlin board * Octoprint installed and configured to a Cocoon Create Touch or Wanhao i3 Plus printer * Kontakt's OctoPrint Filament Reloaded plugin installed * Cheap eBay filament switch ## Filament Reloaded Plugin Settings that worked for me: * Pin: 7 * Debounce Time: 500ms * Switch Type: Normally Open * Board Pin Mode: Board Mode * Gcode: `M600 X0 Y0` * Pause Print is unticked ADVi3pp is required for M600 gcode command support for smart filament change. Board mode is based on the "raspberry pi pinout" that you can easily find online. High debounce time since physical switches can be a little unreliable. Untick pause print since the special command already does it for you. ## Checking that it works: Go to `http://octopi.local/plugin/filamentreload/status` and check that you can see `{"status":"1"}` on each refresh. ## Warning: The color code of the cheap eBay filament sensor is counterintuitive. Don't assume.
