<h1>BigTreeTech Smart Filament Sensor top mount for Sidewinder X2</h1> <b>(this is a mount for replacement of the stock filament sensor that fits right under the Spool holder rolls of the SWX2 and also replaces the orginal backplate of the BTT SFS. Please note, that I have replaced stock rolls with longer ones - to fit wider spools - I haven't checked for the stock spool holder compatibility)</b> The BTT Smart Filament Sensor is compatible with the Firmware Combo package (TFT Firmware BTTSFS version) created also by me and posted here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5186707 This is a quick and dirty mix of several ideas -- a clamp on the top frame of SWX2, a backplate of the BTT SFS and my adjustments to it. Please note! In order to have a nice flat area to lay it on bed I needed to "cut" the object into two pieces! Both are included. You need to superglue the second piece after the print. Print with supports -- especially in the gap of the two arms of the holder, the gap at the end of the holder (where it clamps into the frames holes) and putting small supports under the extrusions for the holes (on the backside - facing the sensor) also doesn't hurt. Printed and installed it and it fits rrright under the spool holder. Obviously you need to remove the old filament sensor and the mount. Printed it in PETG because this material is a little bit more flexible/tension resistant and doesn't brake that easy compared to PLA. I have also tested the draft with PLA and with very careful mount it also works, but I prefer PETG or PLA+ anyway :) Print with 0.4mm nozzle and 3 walls for added strength. Photos will follow.
