Optical filament runout sensor bracket

thingiverse

Bracket for an optical sensor to be used as a filament runout sensor, designed specifically for precise control of 3D printing operations. Similar in concept to the original design, this modified bracket features a standard mounting system instead of the traditional 30x30 extruded aluminum profile configuration. This adaptation allows for easier installation and versatility across various applications. Installation is straightforward, requiring only two screws to secure the device in place, making it compatible with an array of screw types such as sheetrock or wood screws. This optical filament runout sensor was originally designed for use within my Ikea LACK printer enclosure setup. However, its universal design ensures compatibility with a wide range of 3D printing environments. The product can be sourced from various online retailers like eBay, where I personally acquired mine.
