Prusa MK3S IR Sensor Spacer Set

<p>These spacers can be used to correct the IR filament sensor. Just stack them below until reliable readings are achieved. I am also including the f3d file in case anyone wants to print a single, final spacer to suit their exact measurement needs, or simply to reduce wasted filament. The 1mm worked perfectly for me on both kits.</p> <p>Included:<br/> .2mm<br/> .5mm<br/> 1mm</p> <p>Range Steps: .2mm, .5mm, .7mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm</p> <p>If you exceed 1.5mm, there is probably a separate issue...please contact Prusa support.</p> <p>The sensor information can be found by navigating the LCD menu:<br/> Support &gt; Sensor Info</p> <p>"1" means that the sensor detects filament. "0" means that the sensor thinks the filament is empty. Cut a 15-25mm piece of filament, angle the tip, and use it to test by inserting/removing just far enough to move the ball, but no far enough to catch in the gears. Proper height spacing should reliably toggle the 0 and 1 reading with no misses.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>If you print this and it works, please post the size(s) you used to help others.</strong></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>PETG<br/> .1mm Layer Height<br/> 100% Infill</strong></p>
