Description

I used the original thing for some time, but then 2 long prints suffered from under extrusion.
I figured out, that the filament got stuck between the lever of the micro switch and the wall.

So i measured everything.
The space for the filament to be guided through in the original design is 4 mm.
The roll on my micro switch is 3 mm. Plus the lever can easily moved sideways.
The combination led to the filament to be stuck sometimes.

Moreover the guide was lifted from the mounting position sometimes.

So i changed following:

  • Reduced the space for the filament from 4 mm to 2.4 mm.
  • Added a hole for cable-tie mount (as can be seen on the picture). The cable tie can be up to 3mm broad.

Please take all the information from the original thing - it's all the same. You still need no support.

Scale with 10 %.

Others commented that the switch is always activated and on some remixes they adapted this. I did not as simply bending the lever a little can fix this.
