Hi Everyone, I managed to solve two problems in one with this little print.

Re-using the redundant z-limit switch sensor as a filament run-out sensor, and routing my filament nicely from my filament drying box via top gantry into my Sprite Pro. I remixed an existing file from Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/298272-ender-3v2-filament-runout-sensor

The filament guide uses a short section of PTFE tube and a coupler for smooth operation.

I extended the switch cable and routed it in the extrusion grooves.

I am using a 4.2.2 board with Kilpper, and added the following into the printer.cgf file.


[filament_switch_sensor filament_sensor] 
switch_pin: ^PA7 
pause_on_runout: True 
runout_gcode: 
  PAUSE 
  M117 Filament runout! 
insert_gcode: 
  M117 Filament inserted
