Ender3 & 3v2 Filament Sensor Holder for MicroSwiss DD Extruder

DEPRECATED DESIGN

Upadte 26/05/2021.

I have not been using this as it broke for me. I now just have the switch floating lose over the MS filament inlet to the extruder. Works just as good. KIS!

.

Had to find a way to holder the filament sensor as I was not happy with it just floating around above the extruder so I come up with this what I think is a simple design. Easy to install. 1x M3 face bolt and 1x M3 side bolt for the vice type clamp (work in progress).

The sensor is mounted so the filament is a straight shot into the extruder. Photo shows it mounted without the PTFE tube installed.

I printed it out in PLA+ but might be better with a more tempature suitable filament like PETG or ABS as it mounted to and over the stepper motor that warms up.

You'll need...

2/ M3x12mm button head hex socket bolts

1/ M3x5mm brass insert.

Works for me.
