Yeah, I came here with the same question: What meaningful action can be taken in response to running out?
Comment on I added a filament sensor today.

What’s the benefit? Does it pause the print to let you swap filament? I’ve often wondered what to do with the last bit of filament on the roll that isn’t enough to do much of a print, and if so, that seems like it would help.

It pauses the print and waits for you to replace the filament so you could use up small rolls. It would also stop if the filament breaks, depending on where it breaks of course.

Very nice. Could definitely use that. I’ve got the same Ender as pictured, so def seems worth $10 and would pay for itself using up the tiny leftover bits on various rolls i have.

I bought it from their official eBay store it’s cheaper there than on Amazon
