Original Creality Ender 3 V2 Filament Runout Sensor Smart Filament Sensor Break Detection Module Detector for Ender 3 pro Ender 6 CR-10S PRO CR10 V2 V3 Ender3 Max 3D Printer

The sensor is a bit if a hassle to install. It’s not difficult but it does require some disassembly. It took approximately 30 minutes install and reassemble. The firmware was slightly more challenging, at least for me. I used the Marlin firmware from the guy in Australia who does the firmware updates daily. When I first installed the new firmware, I started a test cube. After the BL Touch checked the bed, it went to the left edge of the bed to run the prime line. When it got to the back of the bed it stopped and went into the change filament mode. I fussed with it for three days. Finally I went through the change filament process, resumed the print and it works perfectly. I have been using a PLA + that is brittle and it does break frequently. I’m glad to have the sensor on both of my Enders.

Don't doubt or delay, these work like a dream

auf YT findet man ein Video zur Montage, wo fast der ganze Drucker zerlegt wird. Im Grunde muss man nur den Extruder und Stepper demontieren und dann die 3 Muttern bei den Führungsrollen der Z-Achse demontieren und schon kann man das Montageblech ersetzen.Die ganze Prozedur dann in umgekehrter Reihenfolge für den Zusammenbau.Positiv am Sensor ist, dass nun das Filament nicht mehr an der Gewindestange des Z-Antriebes scheuert und genau in den Extruder geführt wird.Preislich ist das Ganze ok. Bescheiden ist aber eher die Suche nach der richtigen Firmware, insbesondere, wenn auch Touchscreen und CRTouch verbaut sind.Ich weiß als Anfänger nicht, welche Firmware ich hier benötige. Meines Erachtens ist die 3D-Szene etwas chaotisch und unstrukturiert. Warum kann man keine Liste mit Firmware erstellen, wo auch die Features beschrieben sind. Bin noch auf der Suche nach der korrekten Firmware.

Works great, should have bought it sooner. The only issue is if your filament breaks after passing through the sensor.

As far as I know I now have most or all of the Creality upgrades available for my ender 3 pro, with this in mind I struggle with the firmware, they didn't seem to have the file which related to all of the upgrade combinations I have on their website.After talking to Creality tech support over a period of a couple of days they managed to provide the firmware that matched my hardware. Although it worked, it sometimes crashed , so I took the bull by the horns and ended up adapting my own from source. Now it works better than it ever did.Really happy with it now, I dont blame Creality as I think it may have been a language barrier which caused a lot of the confusion.All in all the machine works really wel , and I happy with it.
