Hello !
If you like my work, please rate it.
The 3D printer filament runout sensor is in the right place from the factory, but it only works properly if the filament holder is above it.
After a while, the filament cuts into the sensor. That's why I came up with this mount that can rotate the sensor in all directions. Of course, the cable needs to be extended. I've been using it for a year and it works perfectly. By adjusting the height of "D-arm.stl" you can set how long you need it before printing.
1 piece 8x22x7mm bearing necessary for it.
2 piece 3mm diameter short screw with washer
To make the bearing more secure, it is worth putting an O-ring or a rubber gasket on the plastic around the bearing.
And a very small amount of silicone grease on the screw where it rotates in the plastic. Really small!
The screws should not be tightened too much. They should be left loose. The nut should be secured with threadlocker or a little bit of instant glue.
Adjust the height of the D_arm before printing depending on the height you need.
Use drilling_assintant to drill the D-arm.
