Filament sensor fails with TPE
I have an intermittent failure of the filament sensor while printing with eSun eLastic TPE. Sometimes I have been able to complete a print with it but lately I very often get erroneous mis-triggering of the runout sensor. That effectively aborts a print job and so it is EXTREMELY annoying. (Sorry for the shouting.) The filament sensor appears to operate correctly with PLA.
I have tried to recalibrate the filament sensor using the TPE, but it failed the calibration a couple of times before it succeeded. That success did nothing to prevent further false triggers.
Two questions:
1. Is the problem known, or should I spend time documenting it?
2. Is there a way to disable the filament sensor for a particular print?
RE: Filament sensor fails with TPE
Thanks for that.
Seems to me that if the filament is below the threshold then recalibrating the sensor should have worked. I think that the sensor is having trouble with the flexibility.
Can I turn off the filament sensor in gcode, or on the printer screen? Ideally I would be able to turn it off in the slicer.
