CR-10S filament sensor housing

thingiverse

-Housing (support needed in one area) - Print standing up with the face with the filament entry hole against the build plate and the flange mount up. I was a bit let down by the original Creality filament sensor that came with the CR-10S, so I designed my own with a snap-on lid. No more screw-on lid, making it easy to pop open without tools to check if something's wrong inside, like a small piece of filament is jammed. This one shouldn't break, as we broke about 5 of the original Creality ones over the years. I also added a through hole for any small pieces to simply fall out and hopefully prevent a false reading which occasionally happened with the old housing, resulting in failed prints. The alignment of the filament to the extruder is also much improved, though I'm using red anodized aluminum extruder parts, which seem to have slightly different alignment from Creality injection-molded ones. Long story short, it's optimized to work best with aluminum upgraded parts, but still works fine with originals too. Loading filament should be a breeze! Give it a try and let me know your thoughts. -Lid (no support needed) - Print inverted with the top surface against the build plate. Print in clear material, or if you can print multi-material use the two-piece files to print the lens clear and lid any color. I used a Palette 2. -Tubing cutter (no support needed) - Print with the large flat surface against the build plate. Use the tubing cutter and a razor knife to cut 2 pieces of Creality bowden tubing at the correct length and push both firmly into the housing. (The cutter gives you the correct length, and the second hole is just for cutting tubing at any length)
