Magnetic Filament Monitor installation direction
-
What is the right orientation of MFM? There are no markings to which side filament needs to be feeded.
At least I could not find any information about that. -

Here is a photo of a built-in magnet filament sensor. (Duet Docs)DDA5X... 0.9° Stepper... Linearrails... Duet 2 Wifi... PT100 Board... Duet IR-Probe... Dyze Pro Kit up to 500°C.. etc
Thingiverse -
@norder I saw that photo, but is there any difference from which side filament comes in?

@boa
I don't have this sensor, so I can't answer the question.
But I don't think you have to wait long until someone here can give you an answer to your question. -
My setup....

@petrkroupa So this is the oposite to what is on the photo from documentation. Hmm... that would mean it works both ways.
-
It's counting pulses, so I don't think it matters which direction it rotates.
-
@phaedrux But it also recognizes direction. So I would expect measured movement would have to correlate with extruder movement in terms of movement direction, but this seems not to be the case.

Well the firmware knows the commanded direction for extrude and retract.
