Description
Compact filament cleaner for mounting on a side of your printer, with holder of PTFE pipe and sensor for detection of jammed / ended filament.
For cleaning of filament I recommend to use part of sponge curlpapers (found in wife/girl/mother's cosmetics or to buy in any drugstore, if you don't want to risk ;) ), it has right diameter and useful axial hole ideal for filament.
For making a sensor you need some other things except printed body:
I'm using this sensor with Repetier, my configuration for it (with four magnets and extruder steps per mm = 196.30) is as below, of course without semicolons. Sensor should be connected as Xmax end-switch, without any other elements, just connect Vcc to Vcc, GND to GND, Out to Signal input.
