Top Mount Filament Runout Sensor 

Designed this for my Voron 2.4.  I use a top mount spool holder feeding down the back of the machine.  See my other designs for the spool holder.

Designed for a Roller Microswitch / generic Omron SS-5GL2

4MM OD PTFE Interference fit

You may need to slightly bend the roller switch arm.  It should not be triggered when empty.

Wiring:
I use the 'NO' (normal open) contact setup on an endstop pin
My wiring runs on the outside back panel of the machine with some adhesive wire clips
I use a microfit connecter roughly 3" or 75mm from the roller switch
Any AWG wire suitable for the connectors is fine.

My Klipper Config:

[filament_switch_sensor my_sensor]
pause_on_runout: True
event_delay: 3.0
pause_delay: 0.5
switch_pin: !PG12 #Adjust this for your board

 

Yes - there is no cover

I use the included PAUSE / RESUME macros for mainsail
