A system that monitors my printer using electronic and mechanical components.

Features:

• Form factor: fits inside the spool holder bracket
• Mounting: Magnets that align with the spool holder bracket
• Peripherals: Accelerometer (to detect intense vibration), Temp/humidity sensor (self explanatory), ESP-12F (for sending notifications over wifi), Configuration switches, status LED
• Filament movement detection: Checks if the filament is moving or not (e.g. filament runout, jam)
• LED strip attachment: so I can illuminate my printer

I built it as my printer is not known for its reliability, so by tracking common points of failure, I can hopefully stop the print before wasting too much filament.

I'm currently working on v1.5 of the 'devboard', this version won't be a devboard and will condense the rotary encoder and main board into one pcb! I'll come back and write a detailed log about this project once it's fully complete.
