Description

Made up of a micro switch and a status LED, this small module is meant to be used as a filament runout detector for 3D printers, wherever the control board allows the hardware connection. The module works by changing the state of its output level. When the material to be extruded runs out, the module switches the signal from high to low and, if the function is enabled in the printer firmware, pauses the print until the filament has been replaced.
Features
  • Filament input: 1.75 mm
  • Complete with a cable about 1 metre long and its connectors.
