Filament Sensor for Octoprint (Monoprice Select Mini)

thingiverse

I was jealous that other 3D printer users had their own filament sensor accessories, and I thought it was about time for a Monoprice Select Mini user to have make it happen! So I ordered a [Makerbot 1.2 style endstop from China][endstop]^^, completed a [10 project course on Fusion 360 on Udemy][udemy], and waited 5 weeks for the endstop to arrive. Now we have a working filament runout sensor which pauses your prints and waits for you to tell it to resume the print (ideally after you've installed a fresh roll of filament). ;) Please look for the **Supplies** section below to see what parts you need to make sure you have ready to go before beginning this project. Under **Post Printing** you can find a brief guide for how to put these supplies together, and in particular how to setup Octoprint to pause your prints when the endstop indicates the filament is not longer present.
