Prusa i3 MK2S filament runout sensor bracket/holder

thingiverse

This little pice of plastic will with an optical endstop and octoprint combined save you from failed prints when you run out of filament :-) Remixed the original to be able to use a ziptie for fasteing. (As i did not have fitting screws) Also slimmed it down a bit to use it with my boden holder and it attaches nicely to my i3 mk2.
