Filament FAULT sensor - REMIX - Tangle and/or Runout

Description

This is a REMIX and enhancement to the Filament FAULT detector by re-NABLE. re-NABLE's design is good, but I had a couple minor issues: 1) I wanted to integrate it into a heated dry box: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2778707 The re-NABLE "bracket" did not work with the spool holders I already printed. 2) I noticed binding of the filament though the lever. Adding a length of PTFE tubing reduced friction 3) I wanted to use a stock of my existing roller micro switches and they did not fit into the re-NABLE box. 4) There wasn't a sufficient "parts list" or documentation in the re-NABLE build. Something I noticed while remodeling items was when using a roller switch, the sensor acted only as a "Tangle Sensor". Since I have a filament run-out sensor near my Bowden extruder I was fine with this. FULL documentation is now in the Thing Files!
