Smart Effector, FLying Extruder and Filament sensor.

So, looking fo inspiration on combining these in a nice way, but not really coming up with anything. Does this exist, or should I fall back to mounting the extruder on one of the uprights and accept a (much) longer bowden tube?

@janjoh Flying extruder and Smart Effector are more or less independent and have been done before. Adding a filament runout sensor to the flying extruder can be done, but I am not aware of an implementation. I know someone did filament runout and blockage detection by measuring rotation of their filament spool and it works better than I imagined.

That's clever. Any link?

@Phaedrux unfortunately, they aren't willing to share since they're pursuing commercial interests. But in the end it's an optical encoder measuring the movement of a roller pin the spool rests on. Should be easy enough to build one yourself if you have a setup where your spools move more or less continuously.

We hope to have the magnetic filament monitors available again soon.
