best filament sensor?
-
I need to add 4 filament sensors to my Duet 2/Duex5 setup.
Are there some that work better with Duet than others?
Are the cheapies worth dealing with?

I just want something simple that works so I can get to printing.
Thanks! -
Do you want one that just detects if filament is present or not, or do you want to know if it's stopped moving as well?

Wow, I didn't even know there were different kinds.
I guess just a simple 'filament hasn't broken' type.
I was reading that you can't connect a filament sensor to the Duex5, you have to move your X and Y endstops over to it and use those for the other filament sensors.. correct? -

Where was that seen?

That applies to the magnetic filament monitor, but I don't think it applies to the simple presence detection sensors which function as simple switches.
