This item should ship with Ender 3 v2

This item should ship with Ender 3 v2. This is a necessary part of a 3D printer, I love it very much. No more projects half lost when a thread ends.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Gives wrong readings

It's difficult to pull the filament in the beginning, you can get to the point where the switch is, but beyond that it's difficult to feed. Second, and this is a more serious issue, there is too much lateral play in the shifter. So much so that it can move towards the filament and give false readings. Pass it on if you don't want to try to change it.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic

WILL NOT WORK WITH ENDER 3 PRO WITH 4.2.7 BOARD AND CR TOUCH!

First let me say that the item itself looks really good and the customer service really tried to help me with that so I gave it an extra star for that. HOWEVER I have an Ender 3 Pro with a 4.2.7 board and a crt touch and this filament sensor is NOT WORKING! I have tried all supported firmwares with no success.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Dear
