UPDATE:
Hello guys! I have my first Kickstarter project running! Please check it out and share this link!

Many thanks!
--------------EDIT 11/08/2018----------------
There is a new filament sensor upcoming next week, i made it smaller, less complicated, and easy printable.
NEW ONE

--------------END OF EDIT--------------------
This is a 3D printed Filament sensor.
It will warn you of blocked filament or broken filament.
The arduino waits for a certain time to pass. If the sensor didn't put out any HIGH or LOW signal the arduino will respond with a continuous beep until the filament moves again.
Ps. I configurated the arduinosketch to work with a vary of 3dprinters, but if may be possible that you need to change the values of the sensor depending on what is your printspeed.(instructions written in arduino sketch)
BOM:
NOTE.----- MARLIN firmware users I am working on a solution to connect this sensor directly to your motherboard of the printer, when the sensor gets triggered he will pause the print and wait for user interaction.
When i finish this i will post the extra code but while you wait, feel free to use this instead!
