Replicator 2 Out Of Filament Detector with Cleaner/Oilier

thingiverse

This out-of-filament detector is designed for use with a Makerbot Replicator 2 and features an integrated filament cleaner/oiler. It requires Sailfish firmware, as it utilizes the p-stop function only available in this software. The device improves filament alignment from the spool and includes a 1 x 1.5 inch well for placing either a particle catcher (like a sponge) or an oil-dampened sponge. It attaches simply to the printer using double-sided tape or super-grip velcro, and employs a straightforward OMRON ball-roller micro switch that activates when filament runs out. Before installation, please review these links: Sailfish firmware (http://jettyfirmware.yolasite.com/v76-v45.php) and using the P-stop function (http://www.extrud3d.com/p-stop).
