 The pins for the filament sensor belong to the 6-pin header pins near the centre of the lcd module. The top two pins, in the right column of pins are used. There is a problem with the choice of connector JGAurora have used. The pins for the filament sensor belong to the 6-pin header pins near the centre of the lcd module.

-Checking the sensor is plugged into the right pins is easy: the connector plugs into the block of six pins near the centre on the back of the LCD screen. The correct pins are the top two pins, in the right column of pins, in that block of six pins. e.g:ย +Checking the sensor is plugged into the right pins is easy: the connector plugs into the block of six pins near the centre on the back of the LCD screen.
