DDR Sensor Channel Mod (AliExpress version)

thingiverse

Remix of the [DDR channel sensor mod](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4865365) for the [AliExpress version of the sensor sold here](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001302451875.html?fbclid=IwAR1HQqOLqy-MbIwBtds1a_mUAM-Rohprr5r1NJXEIq2jGBfqGPsECh2ayww). I wasn't *Happy* with the sensor channels sold by *3rd Mix* parties, so I decided to make my own! **What makes this design *Brilliant 2U*?** + Raised arrow panel replaces the need for the metal 'L' bracket + Pressure bar is ribbed for increase sensitivity (*wink*) + Reduced sensor wear + Top pressure bar is centered over the sensor in a way that guarantees a hit even on my 20 year old sensors! + Works with routed or flush panels **Steps to *Do It Right*!** 1. *Get Up'N Move* the old sensor channel from the metal frame. Spray some WD-40 on the old black tape to make it easier to remove with a razer blade. Make sure to use mineral spirits to remove any remaining WD-40/tape residue. 2. Use 0.75 - 1inch double sided carpet tape to attach the new brackets. My local hardware store only had 1.75inch tape, but it was pretty easy to cut with a razer blade. 3. ***Optional:*** Add some craft store felt to the top of the bracket to reduce the wear on the arrow decal ***Make it Better*** The bottom sensor can be printed out of any hard material, but I strongly recommend printing the top out of something flexible like TPU.</span>
