If the projected usage says more than 1Kg then you need to break the print up in some way into smaller prints and join them together once it is finished.

Same goes for time. If a print is going to take longer than your waking and present hours then you should break the print into smaller prints and then combine them once finished.

The method used to combine can be incorporated into the design where they interlock, require glue, or fasteners of some sort or even a combination which is more preferable.

My exception to the above is my printer is in my bed room a few feet away and due to a weak bladder I wake every two hours so I will print over night sometimes since I will wake up every two hours to do my business and can check on ho the print is going.

There is actually a new(ish) program specifically meant for doing just this sort of thing. It is called Luban - https://www.luban3d.com/

I tried out a free demo when it was first released, and have since bought a license for unlimited use. It does exactly what it says it will do, and for various applications - 3d printing, laser cutting, etc.

I have read that thread and don't run the printer when I am not home. But it's hard to get 20 hour prints done while sitting there watching it the whole time.

I am a bit paranoid about the potential fire issue and have been looking at getting one of these auto fire suppression devices to put inside my enclosure: https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/b … k/MLCTXZMK

Just an FYI, most slicers give you a projected amount of filament that will be consumed for a print. Knowing a full spool is 1Kg it should be easy to know if you have enough filament loaded or not.

IF there is a question then the answer is no and you should load a new spool for that print.

you can do what you like, it is your printer, your stuff, your decision.
but maybe take a peak at this thread before you do it a lot..

other than that, i am sure it is possible with a little determination, and possibly has been done by someone.

I am just curious if anyone has added a filament runout sensor to a Solidoode 2?

Had my first filament runout fail while I was away from the printer for a while and it just got me thinking about it.

There are loads of options for them on Amazon like this one: https://www.amazon.com/XCSOURCE-Printer … amp;sr=8-8

I suspect the board on my SD2 does not have a free location to plug it in though. And I am sure there will be an update to firmware required.

Has anyone done this mod?
