Sentinel™ Cable Daisy Chain

Dyze Design is a recognized company in the professional 3D printing environment that is dedicated to the development and subsequent manufacture of components for 3D equipment. Specialized in the design of extrusion systems, expands its catalog by offering hotends, sensors, nozzles and all kinds of high-quality accessories created to obtain maximum performance in 3D FDM printers.

When making large volume prints or in cases where the material used is especially prone to breakage, the installation of a filament sensor is of great help. Designed to eliminate the risk of unfinished prints, the filament sensors automatically detect the presence and movement of the material, pausing the print in the event of its absence.

The company Dyze Design has developed a filament sensor compatible with a wide variety of FDM 3D printers: Sentinel™. This filament sensor works with all types of filaments, and is available in two versions depending on the filament diameter used by the 3D printer.

Daisy chain connection

In situations where contingencies must be kept to a minimum, it is very common to place several sensors in series. This is achieved through a daisy chain. When multiple sensors are daisy-chained, the system compares its light sensor's signal to the previous sensor's and if both signals are positive, a positive output signal is sent.

The Dyze Daisy Chain cable is specially designed for the Sentinel™ filament sensor.

Thanks to the Sentinel™ Sensor Daisy Chain cable, daisy-chain connections are easier and cheaper.
