Ⅰ.Product introduction
Smart Filament Detection Module is a filament detection module
aiming at the defects of the broken materials detection module in the
market. It was launched by the 3D printing team of ShenZhen BigTree
Technology CO.,LTD .
Ⅱ.Module Features
1) It can detect abnormal extrusion of filament caused by nozzle
plugging, filament wrapping and extruder failure.
2) It works with open source firmware marlin 2.0.x. Marlin2.0 uses
powerful development tools, Visual Studio Code integrated
development environment: supports online debugging, which is
more helpful for product development and performance
optimization. Adopts C language development, so it has low
development threshold.
3) Support motherboard with broken filament detection interface.
4) Support screen 2004,12864, TFT24 (12864 mode), tft35_v3.0 (12864
mode).
5) The module is being optimized and will be compatible with touch
screen in the future.
6) Compatible touch screen TFT24, TFT35-V3.0.
7) Support for input power 3.3v-5v.

8) Support long - range and short - range extrusion.
9) Support 1.75mm diameter filament (please install the flexible
filament before installing the extruder).
10)Installation is optional.

Ⅴ. Firmware modification
1) The firmware of this product is marlin2.0.x. Screen 2004,12864,
TFT24 (12864 mode), tft35_v3.0 (12864 mode) can be used directly.
The motherboard that can be used :SKR V1.3; SKR mini E3. SKR E3 DIP;
MKS CEN L; MKS GEN V1.4. The modification method is shown in figure
2.
figure 2
The configuration to be modified is:
Uncomment #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR Turn on the
consumables detection sensor
Uncomment #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7 Sets the
accuracy of the sensor to 7mm
Uncomment #define FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR Sets the sensor to
the encoder type

2) When using the serial touch screen mode, you also need to enable
"M114_DETAIL" in marlin ,as shown in Figure 3
Figure 3
3) Interface to modification
Modify the interface location as shown in figure 4. Change the interface
to any extended interface.
figure 4

4) Relevant parameters after modification
The modified position is shown in figure 5, and parameters such as the
backpull speed and backpull distance after suspension can be controlled.
figure 5
5) Modify the pause position
The position where the nozzle stops after suspension can be set. The
modified position is shown in figure 6.
figure 6

6) Modify the screen
Modify figure 7 and figure 8 to use LCD2004. 12864, TFT24-12864 mode,
TFT35-v3.0-12864 mode.

figure 8

Ⅵ.Touch screen Settings
Note: at present, the touch screen only supports TFT 24 and TFT35 V3.0
produced by our company
1) Select Settings in the ready to print screen
figure 9
2) Select function settings in the Settings interface

3) Click filament detection in the function setting interface until the
smart detection is on (The default setting of filament detection
function on the screen is off. Click the icon again after the filament
detection function is on to open the smart filament detection mode).

figure 12
figure 13

Ⅵ.Wiring method
1) Take SKR V1.3 (figure 14) as an example
SGV
VSG
figure 14
The smart filament detection module uses a break detection interface
(such as SKR V1.3 for E0DET). Any motherboard with a break detection
interface can be used.
S for SIN
G for GND
V for VDD

Ⅷ.Installation method
Remove the pneumatic joint between the teflon tube and the extruder
(as shown in figure 15-17)
figure 15
figure 16
figure 17

2)Insert the printer’s teflon tube into the pneumatic joint (like Figure
18)
Note: The teflon tube needs to be fully inserted into the module in order
to ensure that it will not affect the entry of filament.
figure 18
3) Screw the smart filament module connector into the extruder.(like
figure 19)
figure 19

4) Insert the smart filament module connector Teflon tube into the
pneumatic joint (like Figure 20)
Note: Teflon tube needs to be fully inserted into the module so that it
does not affect the entry of filament.
figure 20
5) Other fixed methods
The two screw holes shown in Figure 10 can be used for fixing, and the
printed piece can be designed according to the fixed position. So this
module can be applied to the proximity extruder.
figure 21

Ⅸ.Notes
1) This module is powered by 3.3v or 5V, so high voltage will cause
damage to the module.
2) The current shell material is printed with PLA, so the shell will be
damaged if the screws and pneumatic joints are turned frequently and
wrongly many times.
3) Scrap and dust may cause false alarms and you need to remove the
module to clean.
4) Please consult technical support before using the motherboard with
no broken filament detection module.
