I kinda like this idea.... You can manually change the filamemt colour and type in the app or the slicer. So the function to use the second spool after the first spool runs out will still work. It really is only the auto detection that will not work.
Hello, thanks for the tip. I understand what you are trying to say, but I really don't know how to do it. I am don't have any background in these kinds of things. So it will be hard be me to do what you told me. But thanks a bunch. I hope it helps others who know more than me.
The filament/color detection is only when using BL filament. That sensor only reads the NFC chip in the spool. You can set the color and type of filament manually. The system will change filament if you tell it do so manually.
@@JT-TheBeautyOfLife That is one of the reasons that I am looking at the 3D Chameleon AMS. Can potentially load up to 32 colors/spools simultaneously...
I'd bet spool holder act to tell it if there a spool on it, so you'd have to bypass that. so it thinks its always loaded. it likely doesnt try detect on an empty spool, so you have to lie to it. But then you'd lose the function that tells you how much is left on the spool. none of that matters if you other brands of filament though.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I am wrong since I am not an expert in electrical wire and never had any basic study about these kinds of fun things anyway 😂.
