HICTOP 3DP-08 Filament Monitor

thingiverse

I swapped out the original filament monitor and got constant false warnings that ruined more prints than they saved. I suspected interference between wires, but noticed it happened when the filament was pulled to one side and could pull away from the switch just enough to trigger it.\r\n\r\nI built this new version from scratch to fix that issue by lengthening the end a bit so it stays straight for the switch. I also added a slight bevel to keep it from getting stuck as much.\r\n\r\nThere are some files available for a 3DP-11, but the mounting holes were too big for my printer.
