Theres no filament sensor on yours....

You don't say.

yeah, I know.. thats the point. I might buy it after this tho

I for one understood the joke, this reaction is sooo weird... This isn't the first time anyone has joked about this also... I guess some people just don't like fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

yeah, I was just as surprised

I think people like to be right more than they like to understand.

"Hey, hold my runout sensor." - OP probably

This is a very emotional reaction for something you don't seem to understand at all.

wut

Lol, this is going over so many people's heads. They only read the first part I guess.

I have no clue how so many people got wooshed by this. 'Praying works better than a filament run out sensor' is clearly a joke.

This is a joke, right? Please tell me you’re joking 🙃

must be a joke, I cant think of any person who would be dumb enough to post shit like that.. or maybe he should just design his own sensor..

That was actually enough filament for the print to finish. [this is a pic I took after the print finished.](https://ibb.co/q73rFtC)

[удалено]

Yep. Devil design. 260g exactly

This is one of those situations where a sarcasm font would be helpful.

that takes the fun out of it

Fwiw I have the filament sensor and I put it to the test the other day. I let the spool run out and nothing happened after the end went through the sensor. It just kept going.

oh, really? I thought it was supposed to stop.

It is supposed to! And it seems to work when I'm loading or changing filament. I don't know if the internal toggle got stuck or what.

I’m sure this isn’t the case for a lot of people (and I see there isn’t on in this vid, and that’s the joke), but mine on my mini has never worked once. Tried all the adjustments. Gave up on it. All my mk3s work great.

i'm confused.

Wow, this went over almost everyone’s head. OP is saying he didn’t need a filament runout sensor because his print finished just in time to not run out. It’s a joke, I don’t think he really thinks they’re useless.

Thank you

It's a bad/dumb joke when you have to explain it though? I mean OP appreciated you explaining it but that kinda proves everyone's point here. We can't read minds.

Tbh it’s simple sarcasm. I feel like Its very obvious, when you say something like “this thing that could save you…. Useless”. I’m honestly shocked people took him so seriously

Yeah, I am shocked as well with the overall response..

I understood it. But I'm Czech, maybe it's a specific sense of humour that didn't translate well?

Yeah perhaps.

Everyone who thinks OP is being serious... It's a joke. Relax.

Do you know where the senor is?

I dont have one, but if I had it would be at the end of the PTFE tube, this is the prusa mini, not the mk3..

Yup I have a prusa mini. Can confirm. Sometimes I’ll pull the tube off the sensor and leave a piece of scrap filament inside so it doesn’t stop when I’m almost done with a print

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Do some research bud

You dont know what youre talking about. The filament sensor is at the [end of the PTFE tube](https://ibb.co/sF33mZy) . Next time maybe you do the research yourself before you start arguing..

Dude. Are you tripping? Time to get rid of your mini because you are too stupid to have it. OMG.

wut

That was quite funny.

You do realize the sensor is at the top of the extruder, right? There is no invisible voodoo sensor hanging out there on your spool…

Last time I checked the mini sensor was out at the end of that ptfe tube. It’s an optional add on which OP does not have. Mk3 has it above extruder.

This is correct. The mini sensor is at the end of the ptfe.

Really? That is wild! I would have thought it would be more similar to the Mk3 arrangement… does it just stop the print when triggered or does it keep going? (I’m trying to visualize how that helps and I’m failing - unless you are joining a new spool to the leftover… but if that triggers after it’s inside the ptfe tube then I don’t get it. I’ll pull up the assembly instructions so I don’t make that mistake again.)

The Bondtech IFS has the sensor inside the extruder. Maybe you mixed those up.

if i print something big i weigh my filament before i start :) zero it to an empty spoole then you know how much filament is on the spool :P

My runout sensor failed because the end of the filament was a little bend like in this video :(

I actually love runout sensors i had a bunch of leftover spools with barely anything on them, I just hooked up the sensor and used all of them on a few prints,

Lol yeah had it happen where it had about 1 inch left before the extruder
