Ender 3 Filament Sensor Mount for Direct Drive Extruder

thingiverse

This is a remix for the 4-Screw Filament Runout Sensor Mount for Ender-3 v2 with Direct Drive by RLovrin1. The filament sensor mount worked great, but I would have had to mount the filament itself directly above the printer. I preferred to keep the filament on top of the Ender, so I created an extension which would slide into a slightly modified Filament Sensor Mount. It's a tight fit, so you may need to use a bench vise to put it together. Follow the instructions outlined by the original maker of the sensor mount so you know which additional hardware you will need (ex. bearings, m4 screws, etc.). You will also need to print the Filament Sensor Mount Face from the original creator. The additional extension is cheesy, but it has been working well.
