MK3s IR_Filamentsensor cover for Skelestruder (using stock MK3S parts)
thingiverse
I have printed the Skelestruder for my MK3S and I'm actually very happy with it. Something, however, disturbed me on the Skelestruder, because I could not use my filament sensor, as the Skelestruder uses the filament sensor of the MK3, which does not fit with the MK3S-sensor. So, I decided to design my own housing to use the MK3S filament sensor with the Skelestruder. The construction is based on the original filament sensor, thus indirect detection of the filament via a lever mechanism (so that, for example, transparent filaments can not cause complications). However, this was more difficult than I had thought and it took several days and a few failed attempts until I found a working result. But in the end the part works! List of materials: | Number | Material | Size | Origin / use | | ---: |: ---: |: ---: |: ---: | | 1x | Screw M3 | 12mm | for mounting on extruder | | 1x | Screw M3 | 16mm | for mounting on extruder | | 1x | Screw M2 | 5mm (the stock M2x8mm screw should also work) | to mount the sensor board | | 1x | Magnet | 10x6x2mm | from Stock MK3S Extruder | | 1x | Magnet | 20x6x2mm | from Stock MK3S Extruder | | 1x | IR sensor | --- | from Stock MK3S extruder | | 1x | Steel Ball | 7mm | from Stock MK3S Extruder | I think the assembly can indeed derive from the pictures. Important here would be just to put the magnets so that they repel each other. Fusion 360 file is included if someone wants to change something, or has a better idea of implementation.
