Laser filament monitor

keyz182

Must have a functioning 3D printer and a supply of black PLA to print small parts with;

Must have enough experience of OpenSCAD to modify an existing design and preferably do new designs;

Preferably either be located in the UK or have experience of programming an attiny microcontroller e.g. with an AVRISP Mk2 or an Arduino running ArduinoISP + 6-pin programing connector.

If there's still room on the list, I meet these criteria (aside from having black PLA, but that's just an Amazon prime order away).

I also have an AVRISP MK2, and an ATMEL-ICE (I'd intended to have a go at developing on the RepRapFirmware, and doing on board debugging, at some point, but have been too busy with work).

Monster Delta

Hi can you add me to the list please i believe i have the required skills and i have a large format delta capable of printing small parts and also very large parts some prints running for 3 weeks

auser

could you please add myself to the list of people interesed in a beta laser-filament-monitor?

designedby36

Can you add me to the list I have a print farm that i am converting over to duet's and filament monitoring is a must. Happy at the moment if it just detects a jam or filament out.

AS-3D Druck

I know it is realy hard to say but will this Sensor cost less than 50$ and will it be avaible at 2018?

@as-3d-druck yes and yes

AS-3D Druck

Nice thank you.

Guyaros

I am looking forward to purchasing Duet3D laser filament monitor when it will be out for sale.

Thanks,

percar

when its for sale even beta version i would be interested in purchasing this monitor

denke

I would be interested too

hedeon

Just woke up to another failed large print due to a jam. Please add me to your list. I am UK based, tinkerer, with some experience in programming Arduino and ESP microcontrollers.

bazhip

Please throw me on there too @dc42

Phaedrux

You've probably got more than enough, but I'd test it too.

Qdeathstar

looking forward to an eta

timcurtis67

Any kind of ETA on these new filament monitors?

Biggsis

I would be interested in testing one of those too, since I have several printers (CoreXY and Deltas, all with DUETs), use OpenSCAD myself and do Arduino Programming, I think I meet the conditions (Except living in Germany and not in the UK )

No word in a month? Hoping to hear something soon dc42

I'm putting in an end stop sensor based filament out sensor now in my CoreXY. Can anyone tell me if there is any point in a mechanical end stop board with a few support components and an LED, as opposed to just as simple switch? I find versions of both on Thingiverse. Does it matter with a Duet board?

Phaedrux

@3dmntbighker The only thing that will matter between a simple switch and a switch with the LED is likely the high or low switching. For instance, I just installed a simple switch filament out sensor using a makerbot style endstop and it switches low. So you'll just need to set the relevant flag when you setup the command.

@phaedrux Thanks for the info. I wondered if a plain switch with no resisters anywhere could damage the Duet. Perhaps the inputs on the Duet are well protected and debounced?

Yes, the endstop inputs are.
