Ender 5 Direct Drive Filament Guide w/ Runout Sensor Slot

thingiverse

I grew tired of waking up to find my hot end waving about empty space like some sort of spell casting robot. It was time to do something about it. I remixed my direct drive filament guide (prettied it up a bit) and added feet and a slot for an end-of/broken filament sensor. With the front feet, the block attachment to the extruder motor no longer needed to be so cumbersome. You will need two M3X40mm screws to mount on the motor. 30mm to 50mm assortment: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XNBGRQ/ I was surprised at the amount of torque the other guide had to endure. It never cracked, but it made me nervous none-the-less. This design adds more than enough support, taking advantage of the greater mass required to house the removable filament sensor designed by Bookmake (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1134134) And my remix to accommodate the URBEST CL20 MicroLever which did not fit in the case unmodified.
