FINDA
- [0, 1, N/A] Induction sensor used on the MMU unit selector. Value 1 means that the
presence of filament is detected. If MMU2S is not connected, the status value is N/A.
IR
- [0, 1] Infrared filament sensor placed on the extruder body. Value 0 means that filament
is not detected. Value 1 means that the presence of filament is detected.
Starting with firmware 3.9.0 and filament sensor v0.4 (or newer), the printer now has more
options how to recognize correct operation of the filament sensor. If you have the red PCB
sensor (revision 0.4), the printer can recognize an issue with cable connection and react
accordingly. You can find more information at
8.9 Display brightness
This option first became available in firmware 3.9.0 and can be found in
LCD Menu -
Settings - Brightness.
It allows you to lower the screen brightness. This function is only
available for printers manufactured in second half of 2019 and newer. With older printers,
you have to replace the LCD screen and also in some cases the Einsy board (Einsy 1.1a or
newer is required).

10 Creating and printing your own models
10.1 Where can you get the 3D models?
The best way to get started with your own 3D printing is to find already-created models on
the internet - they should be in the
.stl
or
.obj
format. Fortunately, there are a lot of fans and
there are sites from which you can download a large variety of ready-made 3D models -
ranging from a simple shaver holder to a detailed aircraft engine model.
