IT'S DEAD ahahahah!!!1!11

yes it's true I killed my Ender 3, RIP.

Ok RoSP maybe? Since it is kind of hard to destroy extruded aluminium profiles and the like so one could say it is brain dead?! (nice movie) Since the Mainboard (is this the right name?) and 3 of 4 stepper drivers are not working any more.

How did that happen you ask?

Hmm some stupid guy wanted to install one of then ass cheap Chinese filament run out sensors and had that what could possibly go wrong attitude.

To be fair this my first time to actually break any 3d Printer electronics and I'm playing with this stuff now for about 10 years. Of cause there is no schematic or documentation or googleable infos for my "sensor". And the connector fitted perfectly into a end stop socket of the MKS Gen L 1.0.

For some reason on my test setup with a ramps 1.4@µ24v it worked fine, I guess that's why Chinese stuff is so dirt cheap, the "optimize" an Arduino Mega and a Ramps into a MKS Gen L 1.0 while at it just remove some not so important components.

I will never know since it's just too cheap and not open source (yes I look at you MKS Gen L 1.0) so I replaced them with the same items.

Is my Ender 3 now one of The Printing Dead community? It's came back to life after it died or is it more a Frankenstein Printer do I have to call it Herman now?
