A holder for detecting filament using a microswitch. Used for pausing prints when filament runs out.
If you want to put it next to the filament roll (easier, no need to route wiring through signal chain, but a lot of filament remains unprinted), print "Shell 1" and "Shell 2", any normal material for 3D-printing should work.
If you are going to put it directly on the extruder (If you have a direct extruder, you have to route the wiring through the signal chain, but only a few cm of filament will stay unprinted. It might be better to print it with ABS in this case, PLA might get soft in this hotter area.), print "Shell1 (for head with teflon).stl" and "Shell 2". When installing, cut off 1,5 cm of teflon tube and insert it in the bottom hole of the shell1 and the top hole of the extruder where you would insert the teflon usually.
Connect the microswitch to OctopPi header as shown on the hand-drawn diagram (3,3V through the microswitch to parallel-connected pull-down resistor and capaci
