      I would be very interested in working on this, I PM'ed you a couple of weeks ago regarding assisting with the laser filament monitor. I am located in the USA with the needed tools to program the attiny. I can even do smd board assembly if needed.

        I am compiling a list big people who have volunteered, thanks! It will be at least 4 weeks before we get the components and I intend to test a large batch to looks for consistency first. Updates to follow.

          Please add me to the beta test list also. I am happy to test and report and plan to buy several for my machines on release.

                We might be willing to supply one of our prototypes to a user who meets the following conditions, to try to speed up finishing it:

                I think I meet those requirements and would like to test one of these.

                    We expect to have plenty of these beta units available for purchase. We know that they can detect reliably when the filament has run out, or when it has become stuck because of a total nozzle blockage - just like the laser filament sensor on the genuine Prusa i3. But we were hoping to do better than that. What we can't guarantee is that these sensors will be able to alert you to a problem that reduces the actual extrusion amount by a substantial proportion, when some extrusion is still occurring.

                      I would also like to buy some sensors for my 3 printers, I have 2 deltas and a core xy with 3 duet wifi and it is a complement that I think is essential for long impressions. Thinking about the quality of their products, this sensor will be wonderful. I hope news.

                        • Must have a functioning 3D printer and a supply of black PLA to print small parts with;
                        • Must have enough experience of OpenSCAD to modify an existing design and preferably do new designs;
                        • Preferably either be located in the UK or have experience of programming an attiny microcontroller e.g. with an AVRISP Mk2 or an Arduino running ArduinoISP + 6-pin programing connector.

                        If there's still room on the list, I meet these criteria (aside from having black PLA, but that's just an Amazon prime order away).

                        I also have an AVRISP MK2, and an ATMEL-ICE (I'd intended to have a go at developing on the RepRapFirmware, and doing on board debugging, at some point, but have been too busy with work).

                              Can you add me to the list I have a print farm that i am converting over to duet's and filament monitoring is a must. Happy at the moment if it just detects a jam or filament out.

                                I know it is realy hard to say but will this Sensor cost less than 50$ and will it be avaible at 2018?

                                            Just woke up to another failed large print due to a jam. Please add me to your list. I am UK based, tinkerer, with some experience in programming Arduino and ESP microcontrollers.
