 The pins for the filament sensor belong to the 6-pin header pins near the centre of the lcd module. The top two pins, in the right column of pins are used. There is a problem with the choice of connector JGAurora have used. The pins for the filament sensor belong to the 6-pin header pins near the centre of the lcd module.
