Description
It's not really an original model but the original was downloaded from the PRUSA repo for the mk3s files. Not a remix from printables (which is what printables wants if you specify a remix).
There's already a fixed lever that addresses the issue of random filament changes in the middle of your print. However I had 2 issues and this remix of the original STL fixes both for me.
You can test the sensor in the menu before tightening everything up. Take a piece of filament and make sure it goes to ‘1’ when you push it in. I would even wiggle it around and make sure it stays at ‘1’. Previously when I wiggled it you could see it flash to ‘0’ and I am assuming that's when it triggered the filament change.
I was worried removing .3mm from the top - which is what blocks the sensor - would make it fail, but the larger issue was the ball not moving it far enough ‘in’. I have tested this on my own printer and it is very successful. Make sure to test using the printer menu.
