Protect long and valuable prints with the original filament break sensor: an essential component for autonomous, reliable, and uninterrupted operation. It automatically detects breaks, jams, slips, or spool depletion, pausing the print in time and preventing material, time, and energy waste.

This sensor uses a dual-action electromechanical system: it monitors both filament movement and tension in real time. If the filament breaks, jams in the extruder, or the spool runs out, the sensor immediately sends a signal to the control board to pause the print and notify the user.

No manual calibration required: factory pre-adjusted to work with standard and technical filaments (PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, fiber-reinforced composites, etc.).

  • Safe unattended printing: Ideal for overnight or long-duration jobs.
  • Material and time savings: Prevents failed prints due to simple filament breaks.
  • Wide compatibility: Works with rigid, flexible, and reinforced filaments (up to 1.75 mm ±0.05 mm).
  • Total integration: Designed to work seamlessly with the original firmware.

Don’t let a filament break ruin hours of work. Add safety, autonomy, and professionalism to your printing workflow with the sensor designed to act as a reliable extension of your Centauri Carbon.

General information

Manufacturer Elegoo
Filament diameter 1.75 mm mm

This sensor works with 1.75 mm filament and is usually located along the filament path between the spool and the extruder, monitoring whether material is still available or has run out. The printer interprets this signal to pause and allow filament replacement before continuing the print.

  • Proper installation: when replacing the filament sensor, ensure it is securely fixed in its holder and that the filament passes through the detection point without sharp deviations or tight curves to guarantee reliable readings.
  • Functionality check: after installing a new sensor, perform a dry load/unload test to confirm that the printer correctly detects the presence and absence of material before starting long prints.
  • Maintenance: keep the area around the sensor free of dust, filament residues, and particles that could interfere with the physical or mechanical detection of the filament.
  • Handling partial filament: if new filament is pushed too early when the previous spool is almost empty, the sensor may “see” continuous material and fail to pause; waiting for the end-of-filament signal on the screen helps prevent this.
  • Actions after detection: when the sensor indicates that filament is depleted, follow the touchscreen instructions to load new material and then resume printing from where it was paused.
  • Preventive replacement: if the sensor shows erratic readings (detects filament when none is present, or vice versa), replace it with a compatible spare to maintain system reliability.
