			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Ladies and gents,</p><p>So basically last night I finally started doing my E3D conversion and also decided to upgrade my extruder hence I never been entirely happy with it.<br />Everything at the moment is hooked up but no cable management or so been done so far.<br />Still trying to figure out the best way to organise things.</p><p>Anyway.<br />Question is about the sensors.<br />1. Sensor in hotend head which senses filament presence.<br />2. The same filament presence sensor in extruder box.<br />3. Rotary encoder in extruder box.</p><p>1. So far I figured out that sensor only matters when changing spool. If sensor can&#039;t sense filament it keeps extruder. Doesn&#039;t matters while printing or so.<br />2. I&#039;ve even unplugged it and was able to print with no problems. Actually I was hoping it will pause the print or so, Anthem&#039;s&nbsp; idea to use it as &quot;run out&quot; filament sensor made me think that I could use it with stock firmware.<br />Actually I haven&#039;t tried to change filament, will try tonight.<br />3. I&#039;m clueless what it does. As per old forum posts it&#039;s not responsible for any filament used counting. Also doesn&#039;t matter&nbsp; when it&#039;s unplugged. Does it do some kind of a feed correction?! Doubt it hence there&#039;s no difference printing with or without it.<br />Maybe it was disabled in latest firmwares because it didn&#039;t worked or so. I&#039;m clueless as I said.</p><p>Does anyone has any input or better knowledge of those things?!</p><br /><p>Regards,<br />Kris M</p>]]></content>
