Filament Runout with USB print?
December 01, 2022 03:34PM
I have been trying to get the filament runout sensor working with my Chiron running marlin 2.1.1.

I saw something the configuration.h file that makes me think that it only works if you are printing from media (not USB prints). Here is that text:

* IMPORTANT: Runout will only trigger if Marlin is aware that a print job is running.
* Marlin knows a print job is running when:
* 1. Running a print job from media started with M24.
* 2. The Print Job Timer has been started with M75.
* 3. The heaters were turned on and PRINTJOB_TIMER_AUTOSTART is enabled.
* 2. The Print Job Timer has been started with M75.
* 3. The heaters were turned on and PRINTJOB_TIMER_AUTOSTART is enabled."

Can someone confirm whether the runout sensor does or doesn't work with USB prints.

Yes, the runout sensor workes when printing jobs via the USB cable. I do this all the time via Octoprint.
