Has anyone put any sensors inside of a P1S enclosure.
I’m going to put various sensors inside my enclosure, bring it all back to a Raspberry Pi and from there track different parameters inside that enclosure.
Curious if anyone has done any of that Y/N and if certain sensors gave trouble. Any comments are welcome. Temperature and humidity go without saying but also some sensors to track if any filaments generate VOC’s etc.
Since I have an X1c with sufficient data feedback, I am probably the wrong one to respond.
However, there is the low cost option to place a cheap thermometer/hygrometer in the chamber on a printed mount (should be some to choose from on Makerworld) and use the camera to check.
I am sceptical about the usefulness of a hygrometer in the chamber though. It matters in the AMS as wet filament can really ruin a print, but after having passed through a 200+°C nozzle and cooling in a space heated for hours, humidity should only really be of interest in truly tropical climates and with highly hygroscopic technical materials.
Now for the VOC’s, that is a really interesting idea. I do not remember having seen anything, but am very curious as to what transpires in this thread.
I don’t disagree with your comment about humidity inside the printer enclosure. Earlier I was wondering if that observation could be put to good use by using a small fan inside the printer enclosure that would exhaust into the AMS. With prints taking hours to print that would add up to a fair amount of warm air into the hull of the AMS.
I have a fair amount of sensors available so no real wasted cost aspect. Plus it provides a baseline.
Data > Opinion
Because I often look to YouTube for guidance, YouTubes algorithm throws videos back at me and recently got this one tossed my way so valid concern I assume. These filaments (imo) are all plastics, most of which are quite toxic when burned so… I had ASA Poisoning! 25 IMPORTANT Filament Answers!
Some of the sensors I have read multiple things so a temperature may read humidity too.
