(see below for French description) [INAUDIBLE] Instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX-9fWV7gJY The filament runout sensor is a very popular accessory. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is absolutely useless! The filament is generally hooked to the spool, and its end will never go through the sensor. This can be compared to a tangle... The Smart Spool Holder and its accessories will REALLY detect the end of the filament (free or hooked to the spool), and filament tangles. It will also make filament loading/unloading easier, and adds an adjustable X endstop. Here's a very simple and obvious solution to a complex problem that inspired many overengineered designs. However, the reinvention of the wheel being my favorite hobby, this concept may already exist. But Google did'nt bring it to me...

Unfortunately, in most cases it is completely useless! The filament is usually hooked to the spool, and the end will never pass through the detector. This situation is comparable to a tangle... The "Smart spool Holder" and its accessories RELY detect the end of the filament (free or attached to the roll), and tangles. It also facilitates loading / unloading, and offers an adjustable X limit switch. Here is a very simple and obvious solution to a complex problem that has inspired many overly technical designs.
