Most 3D printer motion sensors are bulky, slow to trigger, prone to false positives, and have a high detection distance meaning a large amount material is extruded before actually detecting a runout, ...

The Roadrunner motion sensor is based on a magnetic rotary encoder which can detect sub-millimeter movement in the filament for accurate extrusion length measurement, in addition to an IR sensor which ...

As desktop 3D printers have inched towards something resembling the mainstream, manufacturers have upped their game across the board. Even the quality of filament that you can get today is far better ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Christopher Robertson has created a new 3D printer filament roller and feeder which offers an all-in-one IR sensor and alarm to detect all filament feeding errors automatically to help stop your ...

Abstract: The mass spectrometer filament current sensor reflects the health status of the filament by detecting real-time variation in filament current, providing an ideal means to monitor the safe ...
