3DPrinting

So, fun issue those things can have: my Sovol SV07 Plus has one and it works great… or it did until the filament chewed through the plastic and made very awkward channels in and out of it. In itself no big deal, still goes through the sensor, but the issue is that it can be a bit too tight of a fit and get jammed. Like, HARD so you have to try pulling it both ways before it dislodges. It’s not a fun way for a print to fail. My workaround is to use a tiny bit of ptfe tube at the entrance, hot glued there so the filament will go straight. So far it’s been working.

What's the benefit? Does it pause the print to let you swap filament? I've often wondered what to do with the last bit of filament on the roll that isn't enough to do much of a print, and if so, that seems like it would help.

I bypassed mine because it doesn't like certain types (colors?) of filament. I hope it works for your purposes

I want one of these, but a specific one that also allows up to 8 different filiaments at once and automatically changes which is being used so I can do a multi-material print without having to stop and manually change anything.

But it costs 3 times more than my printer did. 😭
