Key Features:
- Accurately senses filament movement
- Determines filament run out, extruder skipping steps, nozzles starting to jam, filament grind in the extruder
- Works for a wide range of filaments
- Kit comes unassembled
This unit requires the v2.0 housing (not included)
The Duet3D Rotating Magnet Filament Monitor very accurately senses filament movement. Connect it to a Duet 2 or Duet 3 and the controller will use the indicated movement to determine a wide range of extrusion issues including filament run out, extruder skipping steps, nozzle starting to jam (causing skipped steps or grinding), and filament beginning to grind in the extruder.
It does this so accurately because it is effectively an extruder in reverse. The filament movement rotates a custom machined hobbed magnet assembly; the magnet rotation is sensed and constantly reported to the Duet.This method has proven extremely accurate across a wide range of filaments – frequently capable of pausing the print before a filament jam or other issue has already caused the print to fail.
It comes with a connector pack with the Molex-KK-style housings and crimps to connect the monitor to the Duet.
