Introduction
Product Overview
The LLL PLUS Buffer is an intelligent filament buffer device designed by Mellow specifically for 3D printers. It is installed between the spool holder and the extruder, automatically adjusting filament tension to reduce feeding resistance and pulling, thereby enhancing printing stability and the quality of finished prints.
Core Features
Intelligent Buffering, Stable Feeding
The device monitors extruder pulling force in real-time and automatically feeds filament to compensate, preventing feeding instability, layer lines, or filament breakage caused by distant filament pulling.
Filament Runout Detection, Automatic Pause (Requires Configuration)
Built-in sensors can send a signal when filament is depleted or broken, causing the printer to pause automatically and preventing empty printing.
One-Button Filament In/Out
Easily perform filament loading and unloading operations via the button on the device body, simplifying the threading and filament change processes.
Quick Start Guide
- Plug and Play: Connect to a 12V–24V power supply to enable the intelligent buffering function.
- For Filament Runout Detection: The signal wire must be connected and configured in the printer firmware.
- Firmware Upgradable: Continuous feature updates, supporting advanced settings like speed adjustment and current configuration.
