2 dollar hardware fix to stop the dreaded flooded printhead head?

· 2 dollar hardware fix to stop the dreaded flooded printhead head?
I was thinking the sensor inside the cover of the print bay, or tucked up behind the hot block. This will not be effected by part cooling fan speed at all.
my thinking is if the plastic if the print core hits 70 something is going wrong- most likely molten plastic touching it.
it won’t stop it before it happens, but al least stops it going on too far.
picking the right location for the sensors is the hard part- has to be in the path of the flooding plastic
as for camera- I can’t that see that being a easy solution at all- not compared to two wires of a thermal switch.
