Customizable Filament Sensor
=======================

This is hopefully the last filament sensor you'll ever need (for switches anyway). I looked at a bunch, but every one I printed would not fit my switch. They also all seemed to fit different switches... so enter the customizable one. I'm using these, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MYLB-10-Pcs-AC-125V-1A-SPDT-1NO-1NC-Momentary-Long-Hinge-Lever-Micro-Switch/32745688469.html, though the whole point is it doesn't matter any more. Just measure yours and enter the numbers.

Description
---------------
Customizable, so specify the size of your filament and switch and how much space you want for wiring and you're ready.

Measuring the screw holes is probably the most annoying part. Be sure you're calculating the center of the screw hole. To do this, I used my caliper to first measure the screw hole width and depth (mine were not perfect circles), and then I measured the distance from the edge of the hole to the lower left corner
