Duet3d filament sensor
-
Are we talking a filament width sensor?
-
We have not released it yet. I have some prototypes that I plan to send out to beta testers. I don't yet have an ETA on production sensors but will post in the forum when I do.
Thanks

I do not know what the current ideas are, but what I would like is a sensor that tells the electronics if the filament is moving (approximately) as much as it should be. More than just "filament out," also "filament jammed."
-
Yes our prototypes monitor filament motion.

This is very exciting. Failures caused by filament issues are one of the last pieces of my "reliability" puzzle. A single instance of a large bulge in filament diameter, causing a jam in the hot end, takes down a whole print. This sensor could help mitigate or remove that risk.

Great news ! I was looking for this functionality since the begining !

Is it possible to join the beta test batch? (If it's not too late) I've currently built mine with optic sensor, but managing the movment of the filament seems very interesting

Indeed, if you're looking for beta testers, sight me up.
-
How about a sneak peak at what the new sensor looks like?

moved to the filament monitor forum. More to follow about the beta tests.
