Description
The Elegoo Canvas detects the existence of filaments with a small metal piece that slides on the filaments. Abrasive filaments grind this metal piece down on the short run, resulting on red LED errors.
This mod detects if the module arm is lifted instead.
Pro: works with abrasives
Con: Inserting a new filament is sligthly less convinient.
Installing:
Glue the plate onto the arm (see images)
Put the PCB into the scaffolding
Remove both wire guides from the module
Insert a filament into the module so the arm is lifted
Glue the scaffolding on the module walls, push the scaffolding as close to the (lifted) arm as you can, but leave a ~0.1mm gap between the scaffolding and the arm just in case.
Epoxy glue the scaffolding in place
