FDM 3D printers are equipped or supported to be equipped with a filament exhaustion detection function. When it detects that the material is exhausted and the filament has reached the end, it can suspend the printing job. This function allows users to replace the filament, resume printing, and avoid printing failure caused by material shortage. Filament exhaustion detection adds convenience to the printing process and provides a user-friendly experience. For users of Anycubic Kobra Go, you can choose to install Filament Runout Sensor to realize this function, reduce material waste and ensure successful printing jobs. We will provide the guide for installing the Filament Runout Sensor for Anycubic Kobra Go.
