Magnetic Filament Sensor

dc42

@dm86, would you like the sensor replaced under warranty? I've never seen a sensor with an AGC reading at maximum.

When there is no filament motion, changes in AGC reading should be visible in M591 within a second or two. The red flashes of the LED on the filament monitor indicates that the monitor is sending status words, including the AGC value.

@dc42 I think that is my only option at this point.

I spent ages on it last night trying to tweak it in to life. I got a slight improvement on mag after sanding off a rough spot on the 'non-flat' side of the enclosure. But still only got it down to 112, AGC stayed maxed out.

I also tried it on my Duet2 just to check it wasnt something weird on my Maestro and got the same readings.

I originally purchased through Hobby Store PL. Do I need to return to them?

Thanks

@dc42 Can you advise how to get this exchanged please?

Contact them for a warranty replacement, reference this forum thread for evidence of warranty approval. In case it wasn't clear from @dc42's answer, we approve a warranty replacement. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So loads of hastle sending it back to Poland, which then got lost in the post. Credit to Hobby Store for having good customer service and sending me a replacement regardless. However, replacement even worse than the original. Also noticed last post in here a fault sensor also from Hobby-Store.

Whats going on here? Just a bad batch?

M591 D0
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, enabled, sensitivity 24.80mm/rev, allow 40% to 130%, check every 20.0mm, version 3, mag 132 agc 120, measured sensitivity infmm/rev, min 0% max 0% over 11519.9mm

Bought a Duet 2 Wifi from E3D that end up being thrown in the bin because it didn't work, really starting to lose faith here. Unfortunately unlike Hobby Store, E3D's customer service is terrible so given up that fight.

OK I've taken it apart, checked it, light sanding on one side, tightened it all back down and no improvement on Mag & AGC values. Sensor works intermittently.

Please can someone advice whats going on and how to proceed please?

Hi, we will take another look. Thanks for you patience.

Have you gone through updating to 3.1.1 as we discussed earlier?

I have on my Duet 2 but I'm having wifi problems with that. I then had problems trying to upgrade my Maestro but as the printer is going nearly 24/7 haven't been able to solve that yet. Will try and take another look tomorrow.

I have tried it on both boards and Mag + Agc values report the same but I don't have working wifi on the Duet 2 I haven't been able to try much of a test print.

Sorry to hear you're having so many issues. Please allow for some time zone delay before DC42 has a chance to take a look.

@dm86 that agc value is high. please mail me, info@duet3d.com and we will work out how to proceed because we don't yet have the new housings needed for a direct replacement.
