Flashforge Creator Pro 2016 Filament guide with optical sensor mount

thingiverse

This is based on a filament sensor design by RaptorFX and a Flashforge tube guide by Mdav801. RaptorFX - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1646220 Mdav801 - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1582238 I'm still working out some quirks with the design, but it's pretty much functional overall and meant to be used with the TCST2103 based endstops as seen here: http://www.3dpitstop.com/?post_type=product&p=56 It's designed for use with OctoPrint in combination with the filament sensor plugin (as mentioned in RaptorFX's description), which currently supports only one sensor. I will either fork the OctoPrint Plugin from MoonshineSG or write my own. http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/filament_sensor Currently, a microcontroller is placed between the Pi and the two Sensors; the controller reads the sensor status every 5 seconds and if one of the sensors is low, it switches the pin connected to the Pi and set up in the yaml.conf to low too. Basic code for this can be found in the comments.
