FILAMENT SENSOR LEVER

The Filament Sensor Lever by Prusa Research is a high-quality spare part specifically manufactured from durable PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol). This material is distinguished by its excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals, while offering high toughness and stiffness, making it ideal for mechanical components within the 3D printing environment. Compared to standard ABS, PETG provides superior impact strength and is easier to process as it is less prone to warping. For optimal print results, a nozzle temperature between 230 °C and 255 °C is recommended, along with a heated bed temperature of 75 °C to 90 °C. While an enclosed build chamber is not strictly necessary for printing PETG, it can help prevent layer separation on larger parts. As PETG tends to be stringy, retraction settings should be tuned carefully. This lever is precisely designed for Prusa filament sensors, making it perfect for repairs or upgrades to your Prusa 3D printers. However, please note that PETG is sensitive to humidity, so it is advisable to dry the filament prior to printing to ensure the best quality.
