Does anyone know where on a Form 2 I can find the sensor that dectects that the cover is closed?
I keep getting the following message ‘please close the cover’.
Maybe the sensor is dirty and I need to clean it first. But then I need to know where to find it first.
Can anyone help me.
I think it’s a magnet in the front corner
I don’t understand how these magnets can serve as a sensor. When I remove the case at the bottom, I don’t see any electronic component anywhere on the inside that could function as a sensor. There is nothing at all in either corner under the magnets. There is only a frame in metal to which the case in plastic is attached.
Huh, I thought it was something like a Hall effect sensor. If it’s not that then I’d see if someone from Formlabs could chime in.
In the meantime, you might find something in this Formlabs Form 2 Teardown « bunnie's blog
Hi @loco,
The interlock sensors are in the display assembly itself. Assuming the magnets are present in the cover, I would try reseating the display ribbon cable following Replacing the Form 2 Display Assembly.
Thank you very much for your response. I replaced the screen with one from a discarded printer that I use for spare parts. Everything is working again as before. Perfect.
