    We've been using the "Ziggy" modification (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx0dW5lbGxkZXZ8Z3g6Mjg3Nzk2MzQzNTQyNjJmMA) to enqueue the M600 command when a filament...

    #1 and #2 adds more complexity to the device. If you can do it for $25, great!

    #3 - I think the Tunell monitor's approach of pausing the printer is the right way to go. Sending a notification...

    #1 depends on the printer to signal a start of a new job to the monitor. The monitor itself could support this feature. In fact, one could wire already wire a signal line to the RST pin on the...

    Well, we don't have filament odometer implemented in the Tunell monitor, but that is one of several potential future updates to the product that I had in mind when I redesigned the Tunell monitor to...

    Oh! :)
    That's correct - almost all printers that I know of do not check for filament right out of the box.

    That's the most common use case for the Tunell monitor -- to detect when the filament has run out -- but it also is able to detect other filament feeding problems. Sorry for the confusion!

    Yes. I did point that out earlier - for build plates that tend to release upon cooling, if you have cool-on-pause enabled, it will cause the print to come off. If you use heated pause, the part...

    I had just posted about our Tunell filament monitor on the 3D printer parts forum, but I wanted to bring it especially to the attention of the group here -- the Tunell monitor was desgined...
  14. Add a filament monitor to detect filament feeding problems before prints are ruined

    Running out of filament and losing your long print job is a waste of time and filament. Filament anxiety is not fun, and manually tracking filament usage is a hassle.
