Fits the Orbiter direct drive extruder. It is optical sensory. So it may not work with clear filament. I haven't tried it yet. This is just a bracket that recieves a push connect for the reverse bowden setup. It slides into the Orbiter side. I had to drill out the sensor and the filament holes. This is designed to slip onto the optical sensor.

Look for "optical endstop" in your favorite marketplace.

Update: clear filament works with klipper. At the end of the roll, the tip of filament is thick enough to trip the sensor. I am not sure if it works with Marlin or Octoprint.
