Orbiter Filament Sensor (Roller switch)

prusaprinters

<p>This is my take on a filament sensor directely mounted on the Orbiter using a simple switch.</p><p>The fit of the switch is quite tight to keep it from moving around.<br>Has been working flawlessly so far.<br>If the trigger point is off slightly, try bending the switch lever slightly in the desired direction.</p><p>Decide on your desired wiring based on preference and available board connections. ( e.g. pull-up/pull-down resistor, LED, 2 lead or 3 lead connection).</p><p>If you chose to use 2 leads only, an LED is not possible. Use a JST XH2P Connector and print the corresponding files.</p><p>If you chose to use 3 leads, use a JST XH3P Connector and print the corresponding files.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer:</strong></p><p>V-Core 3</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>18 - 25 %</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p><strong>Assembly</strong></p><p>Insert the pre-wired components to the designated slots.</p><p>Close the lid and fix with M3 bolts.</p><p>Wire up the sensor to the mainboard.</p><p>Enjoy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
