Just another design for an extruder rotation indicator/visualizer. Print, glue a 8x3mm Neodymium magnet to it and snap it onto your extruder motor.

I have used CorrugatorSupercilii's OpenSCAD Turbine Propeller Generator to generate the propeller (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2187837)

See here my other rotation indicator designs including some more instructions, videos and links: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2638857

Enjoy and don't be shy to post a made one!

Of course this fits also the MMU2 NEMA stepper motors
