FlashForge Creator 3 Filament Sensor and Tube Mount

thingiverse

So the FlashForge Creator 3 is enclosed, and it has side compartments for storing filament. The only issue is that since the side compartments aren't enclosed from the main chamber, they're not very suitable for storing humidity-sensitive filaments unless one seals them first. An alternative is to feed filament to it from an external enclosure. When I tried this, I realised that the way a filament tube hangs with the filament run-out sensor introduces a lot of friction which might impact print quality. So, I designed this mount to replace the stock filament sensor mounts to both hold the existing sensors and to accommodate a filament tube. The mount uses the same mounting screws, nuts, and holes as the original metal mount. So if you're intending to use this, all you have to do after printing is to replace the original metal piece with this one.
