Laser Pipe Filament Runout Sensor
Provided as is:
This uses a small Laser to pass light through a transparent Bowden Tube Pipe to detect if the Filament has Runout or snapped.
No need to have any break in the Bowden Tube maybe good for flexible filaments.
I doubt if transparent filament will work with this.
There is a part for a small microswitch to be fitted to switch Laser off if the lid is opened for safety.
