@Cawfee It depends what version you have. Files for the enclosures are here: https://github.com/Duet3D/FilamentMonitors/tree/master/Filament_Monitor_Magnetic
Drawings of the hobbed assemblies here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Accessories/Rotating_Magnet_Filament_Monitor#hobbed-assembly
User @Lo-Fi has also produced some new housings for the older version (v1 and v2) in OnShape, see https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/27780/redesigned-the-mfm-housing/31

Let me know if you need anything else.

Triangle sensor ordered thanks!

Please Excuse my english

Some tips:

Check filament flow rate is lower than the nozzle can handle . I have e3e Revo Micro and this page has useful:

https://e3d-online.com/pages/revo-nozzle-maximum-flow-rates

Try to put the spool over bearings to minimize the pull the spool makes to the sensor

Check the sensor wheel is clean and if don´t cleanit by removing the plastic stuck in it

Check the extruder is not loosing steps

Check the extruder e-steps is correctly calibrated (if you send 100mm to extrude (G1 E100, you measure exactly 100mm )

@demonio669 I bought the new 30mm bondtech's motor and the hardened gears, yesterday I installed it and I made 2 prints without failing.

It was bondtech lgx fault! not filament monitor!

Bondtech lgx does not have enough power to pull the filament.

@invertmast Another thought I had while cleaning up the mess from my most recent upgrade. Is the ethernet cable you're using solid or stranded. Solid core wire doesn't like to flex and can break internally, but still provide conductivity 95% of the time.

Machined aluminum parts are SOO nice! I havent had a problem with my entire motion system in over 2 years! With the exception of my Z axis stepper. But that's understandable, i think my main mistake there was using a 1.7 to life a 25lb bed platform...

And looking up the Dyze sent me down a rabbit hole. I'm liking the idea of their pressure sensor extruder for leveling. It's almost as if the upgrades will never stop!!!

Haha. Yes the upgrades never stop! I made sure go get a stranded, flat ethernet cable. The issues were present even during the first hour of printing after the upgrades.

Ive got four nema 23’s in a integrated mount with 1605 ballscrews for my z axis. The build plate is a 600mm sq. Piece of 10mm thick Mic6 aluminum w/ pei ontop of it and a 1400w mains powered silicon heater mat. Its pretty stout and the four 23’s will move it at 100mm/sec and pretty impressive jerk/accell settings.

Dyze’s horizon bed sensor looks interesting. I use a precision piezo orion on both of my printers are have had amazing results with them.

@Phaedrux Was able to get this to work on e1stop vs trying to use e0stop for whatever reason.

@Perspective doubt it. I believe any sensor that measures movement will keep the restriction of being on the same board as the driver

@infiniteloop oh shit.....10x checked and overlooked^^

Many thanks for the help. Now it seems to be working.

@Phaedrux thank you,i just did the update, i will try to see if it help today on my next print

@Dakota Interested in this topic!

@T3P3Tony

Excelent hopefully when done I'll be happy and upload the step of the negative space needed

@demonio669 said in Configuring Type 4 = sensor with microswitch:

think it would be nice if the next version came with a built-in filament run-out sensor

The filament monitor needs to be placed as close to the extruder drive as possible in order to measure extrusion accurately; whereas a filament-out sensor should be further away from the extruder drive so that it detects the filament out condition well before the end of the filament reaches the extruder drive.

@metabo7000 we switched from attiny45 to attiny44a during the prototyping phase. The firmware has changed a lot since then.

@dc42 my bowden tube is 5 feet long from the magnetic v1 sensor to the orbiter extruder. It's a delta printer so that's really as close as I can get it. I am just now testing my v1 after years of it collecting dust as we speak.

@dc42 Thank you. Previously with Duet 3 Mini 5, the Filament runout works flawlessly. Even at the start of the print, if the filament is not there, it wont start the print. (Without any special codes). It was with
firmware 3.4.0

I tried the following code in start.g (Got from a thread):

if sensors.filamentMonitors[0].status = "sensorError"
echo "SensorError-0 Continuing to Print"

if sensors.filamentMonitors[0].status != "sensorError"
M25
set global.beepbeep1 = 1
M591 D0
M118 P0 S"filament error" L2```

It worked. When there is no filament at the start, it paused the print.
But when i resumed it without loading the filament, it continues (it means it is not continuously checking).

I kept the same code in resume.g, but it didnt work.
