Filament Sensor for Octoprint (Monoprice Select Mini)

thingiverse

I was feeling left out because other 3D printer users had their own filament sensor accessories, and I thought it was time for a Monoprice Select Mini user to make one happen. So I ordered a Makerbot 1.2 style endstop from China, completed a 10 project course on Fusion 360 through Udemy, and waited five weeks for the endstop to arrive. Now we have a working filament runout sensor which pauses your prints and waits for you to tell it to resume printing (ideally after installing a fresh roll of filament). Please check out the **Supplies** section below to see what parts you'll need before starting this project. Under **Post Printing**, you can find a brief guide on how to assemble these supplies, including setting up Octoprint to pause your prints when the endstop indicates that the filament is no longer present. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-Printer-Switch-For-Endstop-Mechanical-Limit-Switches-with-cable-for-RAMPS-1-4-CNC-3D/32770359838.html https://www.udemy.com/designing-for-3d-printing-with-fusion-360/
