Yet another Anet A8 filament sensor
thingiverse
I built a simple filament sensor. Check out this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqUab8C2zvM I pair this with octoprint and the filament sensor reloaded plugin, located at http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/filament_sensor_reloaded/. It pauses printing when triggered, allowing you to swap out filament and resume your project. Just attach one of the Anet A8 endstop switches to it by screwing them together.
