DescriptionA spring tensioned filament length counter using a optical rotary encoder that can be hooked up to an arduino. For an upcoming project I needed a way of counting how much filament is being used so I made this optical rotary encoder filament counter. O-rings makes sure the filament doesn't slip over the wheel. An adjustable spring tensioned bearing with only a small gap for the filament to pass thru makes sure the filament is always in contact with the o-rings and in the right position.
