Extreme width readings are pausing the printer

[xboxhacker]

Been using the bdwidth for a little while now, I am getting some crazy readings on the filament width.

This one is above 2.5mm. I manually checked the fiamanet, and it was 1.784mm.

One thing you can do is open the sensor and clean the CCD sensor's glass surface.

To check the CCD sensor, you can use this soft tool,

connect the sensor to the PC and run the python file ccd_data.py(which in the github) as follow.

C:\Users\admin>python D:\Github\bdwidth\ccd_clean\ccd_data.py com6 500000

The data graph should normally look like this:

This is where we start:

It did look a little dirty.

After cleaning:

I'm super busy right now, so I'll take some time to get it back on the printer to fully test it.

How can we help keep the sensor clean?
