BTT Smart Filament Sensor Direct Mount For Sprite Pro

Seems like no one had made a Direct Sprite mount for that sensor, so I decided to make one.

I had an issue with the sensor when it was mounted way too far away from the extruder, so there was a lot of slag. About 20 cm of filament between the extruder and the sensor, so it was constantly pausing, assuming it's jammed. I had to crank up the run out distance so high that it wasn't'smart'' sensor anymore.

With this mount u can keep the recommended 7 mm Run out distance and the sensor works like intended (personally I use 10 mm)

No additional hardware needed, you use the 4 screws that came with the Sprite, and just screw the mount on the side of the extruder with the original extruder screws. Everything should fit together like a glove.

I decided to add the whole extruder model and the basic casing too, in case someone wants to remix parts, for example, add a V Knob back of the basic case and insert in somewhere in the V profiles.

Every model I upload comes with the Step files, I believe it helps the community.

I used 100% infill just to make sure it's not so wobbly. 20% most likely works fine too.
