Filament Sensor

Follow this guide to configure your filament sensor with the 3MS.

Location of Sensor

The filament sensor should be right before the extruder, and after the Y splitter. Other locations, such as between the hotend and extruder, have not been tested.

Warning

The 3MS has only been tested with a filament_switch_sensor, and not with a filament_motion_sensor

Configuration

To configure your filament sensor with the 3MS, open 3ms/settings.cfg and change the following (assuming your filament sensor is named "runout_sensor"):

3ms/settings.cfg
fsensor_name: "fsensor"
3ms/settings.cfg
fsensor_name: "runout_sensor"
