Download Free 3D Model Wanhao Duplicator 6 Filament Runout Sensor

Summary
This is a bracket to mount an nc microswitch sensor on a Wanhao Duplicator 6/Monoprice Maker Ultimate to detect when filament runs out. To be able to use this feature you will need to install a custom Marlin firmware that was developed for the D6/MU:
https://github.com/1bigpig/Marlin
After installing the firmware, all you need to do is connect an nc microswitch to the board and mount it to the printer using this bracket.
For the microswitch you’ll need to get one with a similar design to the one in my pictures if you want it to fit perfectly without any modifications.
To connect the sensor to the board you’ll need a “JST XH 2.5-3 Pin” connector and connect that to the open J9 analog plug on the printer (using the two outermost pins) and connect those wires to the two outermost pins on the microswitch. The printer will automatically detect this once it’s plugged in and pause the printer when there is no filament keeping the microswitch closed.
