# Filament Runout Sensor V2
This design is a simple **filament runout sensor** for 3D printers.
It was made to be mounted on a custom **8 mm chipboard enclosure**.
## Assembly
1. Drill a **15 mm hole** in the printer enclosure.
2. Insert a **PC4-M6 connector** into the `FilamentRunoutV2Hole.stl` part.
3. Place this part into the hole from the **inside of the enclosure**.
4. Screw the connector into the **M6 thread** at the bottom of the `FilamentRunoutV2.stl` (main body) to secure the sensor to the enclosure.
5. Insert a **micro switch (KW10 type)** into the slot inside the main body.
6. Close it with the `FilamentRunoutCover.stl` part to protect the switch.
Now the sensor is firmly mounted to the enclosure.
## Wiring
- Connect the **COM** and **NO/NC** terminals of the micro switch to your printer’s **filament runout input**.
- Configure your firmware settings according to the chosen switch mode (NO or NC).
## Features
- Easy mounting: only one hole required in t
