This is my Small & Simple Filament Runout Sensor (microSD card pictured for scale) My goal was to create a general purpose filament runout sensor that was small, effective, good quality, and built around the cheap and common limit switches that I already had onhand (ordered from Aliexpress). This filament sensor has the following "features" 1) Uses common parts (common limit switch, two M3 cap screws) 2) Screw holes pass all the way through, so you can use longer screws to affix it to something, or shorter screws (9mm overall length) for a "floating" sensor. 3) Small, fast print.
