#runout

Rather out of order as this was actually day 3 at Escalare Arabe, but Bladerunner was definitely one of the more striking lines we climbed in El Chorro. Lots of fun and pretty firmly in my style, but I imagine it would have been firmly "type 2 fun" if it had been at limit! (Loooong run-out and biiiig drop potential!) Excellent belaying, though, by Jeremy

#3DPrinting annoyance...

I have an #FLSun #V400 delta printer. A few upgrades, including to stock Klipper. I'm happy with it.

The issue: it's got a filament runout sensor up at the top of the print volume, right after the filament comes down through the top compartment of the printer, which houses the MCU and stepper motors. That works fine for detecting the end of a reel of filament.

But it's basically useless for detecting a filament break, because every break I've had has been between the sensor and the effector/hotend. The sensor happily indicates "filament good" while the hotend uses the remaining ~50cm of filament and then continues to print nothing, while cooking the leftover plastic in the hotend.

What do others do about this? Should I be moving the runout sensor to the effector, just on top of the extruder? Or I've seen what appear to be fancier sensors that detect filament movement, rather than being just a simple presence switch. Anyone have any experience with those?

I appreciate any thoughts from the more-experienced printers in the fedi. Thanks!

I played my first proper game of #cricket yesterday for a few years, despite only having one arm (tennis elbow in main arm) and one eye (stye). What’s kept me from playing for most of the last 24 years is the one leg but fortunately that held out so I didn’t go full #Nelson! I thought I had managed to #runout their best batsmen with this piece of fielding yesterday but the #umpire gave it #notout, saying it was extremely close and probably required a third umpire review.

Die nächsten Tage stehen ein paar längere Drucke an, deshalb heute auch den #Runout Filament Senor eingebaut.

Das der automatische Einzug startet, sobald ich neues Filament einlege ist schon irgendwie nice, da könnte man sich dran gewöhnen. 😊 (Spoiler: werde ich 🤪)
