Description

The BD-Width, invented by the talented Mark Yue, sits on your filament path and continuously measures diameter and movement using a CCD linear sensor. This enables real-time flow rate compensation — no more over/under-extrusion from inconsistent filament, higher accuracy on fine details — and reliable jam/runout detection that pauses your print before it fails.

Specs

  • Width accuracy: ±0.01 mm
  • Connection: USB or I²C
  • Firmware upgradeable via USB
  • Zero calibration needed — plug in and go

What's included

  • BD-Width sensor
  • 1.3 m I²C cable
  • 1.5 m USB Type-C cable

Fully transparent filaments can't be measured for width, but motion tracking still works — so jam and runout detection remain functional even with clear materials.
