#3DPrinting annoyance...

I have an #FLSun #V400 delta printer. A few upgrades, including to stock Klipper. I'm happy with it.

The issue: it's got a filament runout sensor up at the top of the print volume, right after the filament comes down through the top compartment of the printer, which houses the MCU and stepper motors. That works fine for detecting the end of a reel of filament.

But it's basically useless for detecting a filament break, because every break I've had has been between the sensor and the effector/hotend. The sensor happily indicates "filament good" while the hotend uses the remaining ~50cm of filament and then continues to print nothing, while cooking the leftover plastic in the hotend.

What do others do about this? Should I be moving the runout sensor to the effector, just on top of the extruder? Or I've seen what appear to be fancier sensors that detect filament movement, rather than being just a simple presence switch. Anyone have any experience with those?

I appreciate any thoughts from the more-experienced printers in the fedi. Thanks!

It doesn't stop until the motor-timeout is hit, *or* I manually disable motors - at which point the ticking instantly stops.

Any idea why the steppers are still being activated after the print is complete? Does it serve a purpose? Seems like a waste of energy, and needless stress on the hardware.

The company that made my printer says they might send me free filament if I post a pic of their product. And also this pic is kinda cute.

We will see if they hold up their end of the bargain for a Mastodon post.

I now have a stand/holder designed for this case.

For this I used CadQuery (rather than Python on top of OpenSCAD). It's my first project with CadQuery; there are things I quite like about it, and other things I'm finding klunky, which probably means I'm using it wrong for those things. I expect it will get better as I get more comfortable with it.

The part that's insane is that all 3 panels install this way. There's no hinge for the front panel, which should be a door that swings open. Having to slide the front panel up to get at the print bed makes no sense at all! And I'm not sure as I haven't tried it yet, but you would have to take the top of the printer off to do this?

Am I missing something hugely obvious here?

So, I decided I wanted to try using an #enclosure for my #FLSun #V400 to try to reduce warping issues. I bought the official kit - it's fairly nice bulbous #polycarbonate panels for each of the 3 sides, and shouldn't have any issues with the effector clearance.

Installing it...

I got an FLSUN V400 as my second 3D #printer after frankensteining my first printer to its limits. It's nice.

It runs (unfortunately not stock by default) Klipper, and comes with the "#SpeederPad", a small ARM-based touchscreen computer to run the UI and the #Klipper software. Also unfortunately, it only has a WiFi connection.

Except... the board inside actually has an unpopulated place on the board for an RJ45 ethernet port.

Hum.. profile display in Mastodon v4.0.0 is broken, it doesn't display the Bio in the order it was entered but moves the first emoji of a paragraph and everything following in that paragraph to the end of the paragraph. Can be fixed by adding another newline to insert an empty line at strategic places..
