Summary

The filament sensor for the CR-10 (V3) often has an issue where the sensor will not recognize filament passing through. I found my issue to be the trigger for the switch being slightly bend and not snugly fit into the housing which was causing filament to pass down the side of it causing it to release the button which indicates there is filament passing through.

This CR-10 (V3) Filament Runout Sensor Fix simply creates a back piece for the housing unit which gets screwed in easily behind the stock housing and has a raised section which stops the trigger from moving around but keeps the wheel mobility.
