In all this sensor fit well and seems to be working correctly but my first failure will tell. As noted on tunell.us there is a timeout that is settable for no movement of filament. I am going to look at that further to see if it is the right amount.

This hardware, along with the UPS I added, should save a lot of time from failed prints.

Enjoy.
Besides the cost of this thing and it's limited capabilities, that right there is a serious deal breaker.

At the current cost, I would want these functions added:
1) This reset chore to be automated by the printers control board.
2) I would also want a filament width measurement system.
3) A way to notify (text or e-mail) me when a failure is detected.
