Yeah I've seen a few versions of that type of thing but then my thinking is that I don't need it on the input side as much as I do on the output side. But there's no way to measure the filament diameter coming out of the nozzle.

You'd need a fine camera and algorithms, but I can just bypass all of that by looking at the print and changing the extrusion multiplier or output flow using the LCD knob.

I feel like an home made input measurement sensor isn't the solution as there are a lot of variables at play for what ends up coming out of the nozzle in the end. It would take forever to develop something that had good enough results.
