Filament Run-Out Sensor
Posted: June 23rd, 2020, 1:19 pm
Today I am going to talk about making my Filament Run-out Sensor.
Using these End Stop Switches. I have already made a Filament Run-Out Sensor from the top switch. This requires some work to reduce the size and rewire the LED.
I have purchased the RobotDyn End-Stop switches this will still require some modification to reach a usable size.
Though I still want a smaller Filament Run-out Switch Assembly than the one I have already made below.
I will be ordering the Smallest End-stop switch with an LED Below. This when finished will require 3D Printing the model buying the Correct Switch, assembly and testing.
Then I will re-design my 3D Printed Case and post it here for all to have easy access adding a filament run-out Switch.
Your firmware will need an update to enable Filament Run-out and change your pins to address the end stop switch pin.
I use Z-Max because it is a unused end-stop pin and easily accessed
