      Like many others I have the magnetic filament monitor on backorder. I currently use a laser filament monitor with the micro-switch option so my macros can detect filament presence.

      I would like to keep the static switch feature with the new magnetic monitor. The enclosure isn't really designed for FDM printing.

      Any chance a version of the enclosure is in the works that would include a microswitch? Perhaps a FDM add on above the feed mechanism?

      The following OMRON switches are very small, easy to find, very little actuation distance and make for a good candidate switch:
