Tevo Tarantula Filament Runout Sensor & Dust Filter

thingiverse

I designed this sensor from a limit switch button I purchased on AliExpress. The task of this sensor is not only to stop printing when the plastic runs out, but it also has to clean the plastic from dust and straighten the rod to make it easier for the bowden extruder to accept it. A simple life hack: if you're having problems changing the plastic in the extruder that comes with your printer, read on. Buy a cheap M6 thermal barrier in China, cut off a piece of it, and screw it into the golden-colored part of the Tevo Tarantula's standard extruder. It can make your life much easier! I added an .f3d file - it's a project file so you can safely modify the design in Fusion360 to fit your needs better (different buttons, tube diameters, etc.). This design is one of the parts of my project to convert Tarantula into CR-10. Project name: Furuncula. To learn more details, subscribe to my Instagram account: 3Deshka.rf by samgozman.
