Filament monitor
saves plastic, time, and brain cells
Filament monitor tracks movement of filament when it is pulled by a 3D printer. If filament is snapped (at the spool, or inside the tube) or jammed, the device sends a fault signal to the printer and pauses the print.
The project is based on the work of Aaron Tunell.
This is a work-in-progress project. It has not been tested yet. ETA: Feb, 2022.
