Dear all, This filament sensor is a thing that works. The micro-switch I used was larger than most others, so I decided to design my own switch to fit it. Now you can use octoprint and the plugin "Filament Sensor Reloaded". You'll find installation instructions here: https://github.com/kontakt/Octoprint-Filament-Reloaded. **Things This Thing Does** - The micro-switch gets clipped in place, no screws needed. - There are also two screw holes available. - I added a small cover over the roller-ball to keep it from slipping away. Your feedback is welcome. Thanks.
