Filament sensor always active
Hi,
I've just assembled my second MK3s printer and I'm having an issue with the filament sensor. It is constantly showing that filament is loaded (1), whether the filament is inserted or not. First printer working without a hitch.
The sensor itself is working well, removing it from the extruder the signal turns to 0 immediately, placing it back turns back to 1.
I took a short clip of the movement of the assembly, can someone help?

Thereis a 0.5mm spacer on thingiverse which helps some folk get their machines working

Thanks.
It works as long as I leave the cover a little loose.
Is this the official solution?

No, it's a community fix! a little like my LED Mod
I solder a 5volt led directly between the +5v pin and the OUT pin, to give immediate status of the filament sensor!
