Filament feed error damaged the filament sensor

Printing with the MMU2. Filament feed error in the middle of a print resulted in the filament going sideways into the filament sensor and damaging the silver optical sensor.

SO, errr... What now? I don't see that part in the "printer parts' section of the store. I'm now dead in the water.

The optical filament sensor is not currently in use; the printer with MMU works fine without it.

I was logged into the shop page. only see 8 items listed.

Not in use? Oh, fair enough then. I reassembled it and we'll see how it goes. Looks like it failed on unload rather than load. :-/ A new failure mode for me.
