Wiring for the side mounted filament sensors wiring
It the wiring known for the side filament sensors? (Or figured it out?)
There are 5 wires in the bundle, I figure a power, ground, and the 3 filament sensor leads.
I'm wanting to move all 5 filament roles to one side of the printer so I'll need to extend one of the cables to reach. Just thought while I was doing that I could rearrange the signal wires to the order I'd prefer.
RE: Wiring for the side mounted filament sensors wiring
I know your post is quite old, but I have figured this out. I have both my sensors on one side and even combined into a single block, however, the out of order numbers have been driving me nuts! Of course to move the left sensor to the right side, I needed a longer wire, so instead of splicing it, I ordered one from Digikey for about $5
Molex 0151350506 - Clickmate 5 circuit 600mm
DigiKey Part Number WM16512-ND
These do come wired "CROSS" and you MUST fix this to make anything work. It comes wired
1-5
2-4
3-3
4-2
5-1
I had to change the wires originally to 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4. 5-5... but in hindsight all you would have to do is swap pins 1 and 5 on one end to make this mod work!
This image has the original layout and how I diagnosed the pinout
I chose to number them in this order because of the J3 circuit board silkscreen and the bar (typically indicating pin 1) however I do not claim to be correct as to if this is technically how this connector is numbered
Swapping these wires and then RECALIBRATING THE # 4 & 5 Filament sensors is required (at least for me it was)
This model will be uploaded soon, it use magnets and eliminates the spring for less filament drag
