In the last few days, I have been looking for a 3D Printer to bring some of my inventions to life. After reading and comparing, I went for an Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo. It is a great 3D Printer; until today, it has done everything I need to print smoothly.
I have built some technical parts for my inventions thanks to this printer. An example of it was a mounting bracket for a turbidity sensor (click on the link to download the model):
Today, I decided to upgrade it with a filament sensor. This post is about how to do it with a cheap filament sensor and avoid getting stuck. The sensor looks like this:
The first thing that you have to know is how it works:
The printer has an unused cable labelled “E”. This is the filament sensor cable for the motherboard, so there is no need to open the printer. The first thing we will do is to change the pin in the centre to the side. Watch the photos closely. You can pull the pin out by pushing the metal with a sharp object. Then, plug it again in the right place (4). Follow me in the process:
I also modified the filament sensor box to attach it firmly to the printer. The most important step was to cut the piece of plastic (1) that was not used either by the circuit or by the cover and drill a hole (2) exactly in that place. I decided to use a screw made of nylon so I could shape it easily, and later, if I wanted to remove it, I could cut it. Follow me in the process:
I even shouldn’t mention that if you have one of these printers, you should be sure:
