Have been testing for a week now printing for several hours without issue and I can confirm its works well on 3.3v supply. I am no longer going to develop any other of my motion detection designs... this is it. It's compact enough for me, easily accessible loading filament and accurate. I adjusted the detection setting to 7mm and had a few false postive runout pauses, set to 8mm and I have had no more.

For reliability and accuracy, I went with a rotary encoder to detect filament motion or lack thereof and runout.

Tried to keep it as small as possible as usual. With the mounting ring the encoder
