Hello,

Is it possible to make/buy a filament sensor for a Balco Touch Printer(Aldi)/Cocoon?

Thanks in advance,
Davy

What do you mean exactly? What kind of sensor? Filament runout one?

#3

Yes, a sensor to make the printing stop when there is no more filament.

#4

This is not currently supported by ADVi3++. Will be in a future version, but can’t say when.

#5

If you use Octoprint, there are plugins that can monitor and pause a print based on the state of a sensor. I have not used any of them, but if you google “filament runout sensor octoprint” you’ll get several hits.
