Voron 2.4 Dragon Burner Upgrade - Custom Inline Filament Sensor

[@viesturz]

Great work! Love the ball lever arm idea, seems simpler than using a bearing ball. Have you researched smaller switches? There could be some room for miniaturization.

Since making this video, I've actually switched over to a different design that was suggested by someone in the comments: www.printables.com/model/972444-wristwatch-g2-filament-runout-sensor It replaces the printed part for the front face of the extruder with one that incorporates a filament sensor switch. I haven't had a chance yet to show this in an updated video, but I will try to do so soon.

I'm currently converting 2.4 tool head to a yavoth with the cutter you mentioned. Adding a ERCF. In my research I discovered there is a modified version of the wristwatch G2 that has inbuilt filament sensors.

Thanks for mentioning this. I'm not sure why I didn't find that version, but now that I've seen it I want to rebuild mine.

I just did my first soder for my hotend fan that i installed on my SV05 upgrade so I agree. I might have to get a sodering practice kit

Orbiter run out sensor is very similar to this which is nice

[@skyrim4713]

Is there a mount for switchewire ??

[@deeply999]

Great theory, but the switch doesnt last long, better off using the 6mm or 7mm ball bearing method, more reliable and doesnt jam when filament enters.

[@gunplamark]

Yeah, that's one of my big concerns with this design. I'll use it like this for now and see how it holds up, then if necessary redesign the switch mechanism while hopefully keeping the outer shape of the sensor roughly the same.

can u share stl modified filmnt snsor??

[@gunplamark]

As I mentioned near the end of video, I do plan to release the STL files but I want to wait until I've used the sensor a bit in the new print head to make sure it works well and is reliable. So it'll likely be a few weeks before they're released.
