Enable filament runout detection capability for OctoPrint #43
Comments

Before you get too invested. The filament sensor has been responsible for about 1 in 15 or 1 in 20 unrecoverable failures in my prints. On the other side of the fence, every time it catches an actual issue I have not been able to recover (4 or 5 times, SD and USB). I now use Michael's firmware fork that turns it off. I felt as you did, and now I see it as a liability. I'd recommend turning it off until such a time that Elegoo engineers can fix it. |

i've compiled my own firmware for elegoo neptune 2s and the filament runout works great by default marlin. I'm a little lazy to tinker with the neptune 3. But if Elegoo cares enough, just throw in the default marlin codes for filament runout and it should work fine. |
Unfortunately the N3 runout sensor is handled by the screen firmware so enabling it in the board firmware causes issues. |

Yes, as Michael said!

So, what does the Settings-Filament Detector setting do, on an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro? |
Firmware: 1.0.5beta
Currently the filament runout sensor only works for prints from SD card. Octoprint cannot detect runouts.
I don't know much about GCODE but it seems that the M115 command gets all the printer's capabilities. One of them is:
And that seems to mean that no runout detection is available over USB printing (OctoPrint).
The Neptune 3 has such a nice and sophisticated filament sensor. For me it's the last puzzle piece to be able to leverage it in OctoPrint. Do you think that could be implemented?
