My Filament monitor
-
i have done a laser monitor that will set off one of the end stops once the filament runs out the printer pauses
-
Lookin' damn good! If it's obtainable anywhere, I might consider it as an comfort upgrade.
-
Looks nice, is it a filament present detector or a filament motion detector, or both?
-
how about transparent filaments? nice idea btw!
-
i had a small problem when it was enclosed but soon fixed by putting in a small angled mirror.
it detects movement and whether the filament is there.
its only coded in Arduino at the mo but may put it on a Atmel chip to run in its own casing soon
-
Which laser module are you using and how much resolution are you getting on the filament movement?
