Filament Runout Sensor

This printer has a filament runout sensor below the bowden extruder motor. It is a funky looking thing which is held in place with a ball-bearing magnet which allows the sensor to flop around from whichever direction the filament spool is located. Just make sure you run the filament through the sensor following the direction of the arrow.
