Anycubic Predator Upgrade: filament sensor protector

thingiverse

Hi, This is my first Thing i uploaded. I have to reupload it because the first upload is gone... At the start let's talk about why i made this. The reason can be seen in the pictures. Wehn homing the print head sometimes the filament curles up at the right side of the filament sensor. When you start a new print it can happen that the filamnet gets stuck on the connector of the filament sensor. Then the printer will pull on the connector and maybe destroy it. I saw it when it happened and stopped the print immedialtly and I was lucky that nothing got damaged. You have to adjust the printing oriantation. This was my first file i created for 3D printing so i did not know what axis would be the height. just position it like it is in the picutre with the yellow part. Then you don't need support. So this design will simply guide the filament around the sensor connector. I am using it for two months now with around 100 hours of printing and it works like a charm. I hope i can help some people with this, to help them keeping their filament sensor connector out of harms way.
