Hi,
I've been working on a rotating filament sensor (with a magnet + hal effect sensor).
I've gotten to the point where it seems to be working well and reliable (there is support for a rotating sensor in Marlin)
I'm using rubber X-seals to ensure good contact with the filament without adding too much resistance.
Do you think it's an interesting device to have ?
It detects both when the filament spool is empty and when the print head is clogged.
I do "a lot" of 3d printing and these 2 case seem to account for +90% of my failed prints.
I've made a small video, [
