      Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a filament sensor that would work with a dual extruder print head. I have two feeds side by side. This is to work with my Maestro. Thanks.

        I think two of any filament sensor will work for you.

          Thanks. I was thinking about making my own. A couple microswitches and design a housing for them, the filament depresses the switch. As I type this I bet there's already prints available.

            That's just what I started with.

            If you're an OnShape user, you can copy my VERY simple design.

            One of these just snaps into place.
