Filament FAULT Detector using Octoprint

The device causes a 3D printer to "Pause" when filament goes missing or becomes tangled on the spool. After correcting the problem, a user can "Resume" the printing to complete the job. To eliminate failed prints, a Micro Switch connects to OctoPrint running on a Raspberry Pi. Simple code gracefully pauses the printer and then resumes when the problem is corrected.
