Magnetic Filament Sensor Duet3D very accurately senses filament movement. Connect it to a Duet 2 Wifi, Ethernet or Maestro and the controller will use the indicated movement to determine a wide range of extrusion issues such as:
- Filament run out
- Missed steps on extruder
- Filament grinding
- Nozzle starting to jam (causing skipped steps or grinding)
The sensor comes with a resin housing for self-assembly.
Our store has the status of Duet3D Genuine Reseller.
Magnetic Filament Sensor Duet3D
This module high accuracy is achieved due reversal of extruder action in real time. The filament movement rotates a custom machined hobbed magnet assembly; the magent rotation is sensed and constantly reported to the Duet3D which is compering it to extruder movement.This method has proven extremely accurate across a wide range of filaments – frequently capable of pausing the print before a filament jam or other issue has already caused the print to fail.
