Filament Sensor Vertical Guide for Creality CR-10

thingiverse

I required a new filament sensor support for my CR-10S printer because I was dissatisfied with the original one, which proved too weak to handle the extruder's pulling on the filament, resulting in frequent folding. After designing three prototypes using Autodesk Fusion 360, I created version four, hoping you'll find it satisfactory. I manufactured this new design from PET-G but it can easily be built from PLA instead. For optimal results, use a slicer that allows you to place supports only where necessary for precise sensor positioning; I utilized Simplify3D. Notably, the supports are not required for the sensor cover. To ensure a snug fit between the sensor and printer frame, I shortened the two holes used to secure it by about half a millimeter, allowing for a rubber seal of similar thickness. A small rubber band is sufficient, and I employed two rings created by cutting colored strips to achieve this effect. If you decide to build this support, I appreciate your feedback in the form of photos and comments.
