BTT Smart Filament Sensor v-slot mount

This is a universal mount for the Big Tree Tech smart filament sensor. It replaces the back cover of the sensor and mounts into aluminum extrusion.

I used the same twist-in/cam-lock design of v-slot nuts so you don't need to disassemble the extrusion to mount it. It also makes it toolless to install and remove once you have replaced the backplate.

You just need to replace the backplate of your filament sensor and you are good to go. To install, put the sensor in the desired slot and turn counterclockwise. It is tighter on my Ender 3 than my Sidewinder, but it works just fine in both. It has a stop so you cannot turn it past 90°.

The hole pattern also came out a bit tight for the back cover. BTT gives out files for the stock housing, and I projected my holes from theirs, so it may be calibration on my end.
