RE: newest INDX picture
As you can see there is a notch where the extruder gears can grab the filament. This can also be used to get a grip of the filament and pull it out. If the filament runs out mid print, you dock the tool so that the operator can detach the dock and extract the last bit of filament through this notch.
I thought this was obvious? If you forget to notice something, then it is not me who is shooting from the hip.
Where can I see that? And where did you talk about the user grabbing the filament? (You only talked about the filament sensor seeing the filament there.) How wide is that notch and can you really get your fingers in there? How hot is it in that area; do you want to get your fingers in there?
I am not convinced, neither by your argument nor by your style of arguing. But I will check out now, good night.

You are correct that I mainly covered the technical side of detection and filament management, not the operational side in my initial explanation. But if you take a quick look at the available pictures of the tools, then it really should not come as a surprise that what I described is entirely within the realm of what is possible and that, while it is nice to have more filament detectors, it is not an absolute necessity.
But I'll admit that I don't know exactly how IINDX works. I just speculate on the workings based on what I can see in the pictures and videos that have been made available. Perhaps that notch on the top is for something else.

I wish you a good night as well. 🙂
