It has been done by foehnsturm. A community member. It's not a simple process but I did it. I got it working and then removed it. But it did work pretty well. You will have to 3d print a mold for the silicone wheel and buy the sensor and connect it up. It's not too bad but will take a few days. The frimware is pretty good.
It has not taken off. It's just not useful enough I suppose? Maybe not dependable enough for all filaments?
For me mostly I converted that UM2 to use a redeem controller. And my 3 um2go's - well the filament comes in at a steep angle and I don't think the filament sensor would work well in a UM2go unless the filament was on the floor.
And I don't do long prints. Most of my prints are 30 to 120 minutes.
