Filament Sensor False Triggers

[Benjamin Mitchell]

Hi,

I have a Sentinel filament sensor that has worked beautifully for several years, but I've recently started seeing a fair number of false positive triggers.  Obviously this is a bummer!

I'm using this with a Duet 3 board, and while I'm not 100% sure the time lines are correlated, this started happening roughly the time I updated the board to the newest firmware (I hadn't done that in quite a while.)

I don't see much in the way of tuning that can be done for an "S1" type sensor in the M591 command.  Anyone have suggestions for things I might try to mitigate this?  It's wreaking havoc on my print process.*

Thanks,

-Ben

*Ok.  Not HAVOC per se, but it's suuuuupppper frustrating.

Hello Benjamin,

It might be time for a filter cleaning or a PTFE replacement.

See here for the procedure: https://docs.dyzedesign.com/filament-sentinel.html#cleaning-your-sentineltm

Indeed, not much can be done on the firmware side with a simple filament detector and the M591 command.
