      @Thalios said in Using the external switch on laser filament monitor:

      I used a stainless steel rod as indirect which I sanded down to "de-polish" it. could that cause a problem?

      Photos?

          Yeah I could see how that could be problematic. Could you try adding a piece of dark matte tape it for a less shiny textured surface?

            I think i'll put a black shrink tube on top of the rod to see how that goes.

            But I grinded it more with a dremel to remove all shininess and so far it hasn't faulted on me (I shouldn't jinx myself..)

            We'll see tomorrow!

            After 7.5h of printing, I have this:

              2 successful prints in 48h. Very happy so far! I get a good reading with the dremel grinded rod.

              Now I need to make the same thing on my other 2 printers to get reliable results hehe.

              Thanks again!
