Dual Extruder
12/09/2016 at 05:46 • 0 commentsThe mouse has two channels, i.e. X and Y. So far only X is used, but it can be easily extended with an additional channel, handy for those have dual-extrudes. Just print and assemble anther sensor body and make a small circuit board to transplant the IR emitter and receiver to the 2nd sensor body. The software is capable of reading the Y axis already, just need to add some extra lines of code and maybe the Reset to make it work.

Connected Device
12/09/2016 at 05:41 • 0 commentsHow about turn it into a IoT device? With IFTTT it will notify you the filament jam (timing out) or breakage (with an extra micro switch), or even order the filament for you when it runs low!

Basic functions and future development
12/06/2016 at 21:54 • 0 commentsNow it has basic functions, will add a filament out micro switch to enable the M600 in Marlin. Also considered is the implementation of jamming/print finished sensor if the wheel stops for extended time. Also the device can send automatic email/SMS notifications to notify the owner when filament out or jamming dectected.
