Potential solution for filament sensor damage?
I'll start by saying that I'm not exactly sure how this could be accomplished given how tight it looks between the sensor and the filament path. However, if the sensor gets damaged sometimes during filament change, I wonder if a stop gap solution would be some sort of sliding barrier that could be inserted between the sensor and the filament path when changing filament to protect the sensor. Maybe there is room for a slot to be modeled in the top or back of the extruder that a thin piece of plastic or metal could be slipped into to act as a shield between the sensor and any blobs of filament being pulled out the top.
Just a thought.
