I took the snap fit Denos filament guide design and the simple and effective eussrh runout sensor desing and made this thing. I wanted a runout sensor that could be attached to the top of the 2040 extrusion in my AM8 frame and that I could remove anytime I want. I only used supports on the bottom part to make sure the holes for the nuts and screws were right. You would need 3 M2 screws and nuts (12 or 16mm would do the work). My designing skills are pretty basic, that's why I decided to start with something proven and these two designs worked for me.
