Magnetic Filament Sensor Updates?
-
@BlueDust they have stated you can do fdm but you need to print at high resolution and requires adjustment to ensure the magnet lines up correctly.

I haven't seen anything about it, but haven't spent more than 15 min looking in the forums this week. If this info is in the documentation page, I haven't read it line by line yet. Just skimmed it to start reviewing the GCODE config for it.. appears to be similar to the laser monitor. I already have a laser monitor and it doesn't look different to setup. -
The reason it comes pre-built is that at present it's difficult to test all the components of the magnetic filament monitor without assembling it. We don't just have to test the electronics, we have to verify that the SLA-printed housing holds the magnet at the correct distance from the sensor.

I received my Magnetic Filament Sensor. Haven't installed it just yet, but noticed there is a handwritten number on the PCB board. Is that the Serial Number? Maybe n'th one built?

Pretty neat.
Both were taken from the same gcode and filament.M591 D0
Duet3D laser filament monitor v1 on input 3, disabled, allow 10% to 120%, check every 6.0mm, current pos -5.2, brightness 76, shutter 17, measured min 34% avg 42% max 49% over 5778.8mmM591 D0
Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v2 on input 3, disabled, sensitivity 28.40mm/rev, allow 10% to 120%, check every 3.0mm, current pos 62.2, measured sensitivity 25.05mm/rev, min 96% max 107% over 109.1mmHow does the Sensitivity work or, being measured on the magnetic sensor?
