      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)

          @norder I saw that photo, but is there any difference from which side filament comes in?

            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.

                @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.

                      @boa said in Magnetic Filament Monitor installation direction:

                      But it also recognizes direction.

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