People who have printed this reported some flaws in the design. I have NOT fixed them yet! Print at your own risk.

Optical Filament runout that works even with transparent filaments.
Just print the lever in an opaque filament (black is preferred).
Push the lever down and insert the filament. When the filament runs out, the lever springs up and triggers the optical sensor.
