Still in developement!!!
Usage of a photoelectric sensor is nice because it works contacless but if you use transparent filament it must be disabled.
So i built a case for a microswitch so it can be used for every kind of filament as long as it has 1.75 mm diameter.
UPDATE: v0.2
I use this Plugin for OctoPI:
https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/enclosure/
Follow the instructions to enable the filament-detection.
I changed the design to support an other MicroSwitch:
