Longer LK5 Pro Filament Sensor Holder Top Rail Mount

thingiverse

I converted my LK5 Pro printers to direct drive and wanted to mount the filament on the top rail. This meant I needed to move the filament sensor up there as well. I designed this filament sensor bracket taking inspiration from the one off a Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus. The base is reversible and the angled bracket lets it pivot left to right and front to back. I used one M4x12mm bolt and an M4 T Slot nut to hold the base. The angled bracket can be secured with two M3x6mm bolts (No nuts needed). I also designed a spool holder to mount on the top rail. I made the bottom of it with a 1 degree angle leaning towards the back of the machine to keep the filament rolls in place. It gets secured with two M4x16mm bolts and two M4 T Slot nuts. I printed the base and filament sensor holder with supports and the angled bracket without. I used the V-Slot covers from Crabiter on cults3d.com to secure the wire in the slots.

AND a little bracket I attached with a zip tie to the side of the extruder to hold those same cables.
