Fillament movement sensor

Discussions regarding fillament jams lead me to draw and print a really very simple fillament movement senzor.

Bondtech gear movement indicator in the fillament jam situation does not show you, whether the fillament moves, the fillament movement indicator does.

Apart of the printed parts you will need a small rubber ring (I have bought a box of spare rings in Lidls shop) to put on leading wheel for better adhesion to fillament.

Mount : very simple - before loading the filament to the extruder pull it through twoo holes and that´s it.
Note: take care of correct wheels positioning on rodes.

Enjoy 

p.s. waiting for IR sensor in order to make the electronic version of it.

 

edit: during first edit, when I wanted attach pictures it kicked me out with Server error.

here they are

I wanted to embed here a youtube video, without success, so the link is :

Pair that with one of the magnet attached extruder stepper rotation wheels - then you have all bases covered!

And maybe add a wiper of some sort if you have as many cats as I do...
